    After continual excuses and apologies for failing to connect my broadband the company have now admitted fault, previously blaming BTOpenreach. Dismal customer service, broken promises, on live complaint/query system ineffective, they close requests if they are showing the company in a negative manner. If you were thinking of using them, my advice is don't. I still have no internet 5 days later.

    Absolutely awful service, never use John Lewis for wifi. Lack of communication, do not update customers. Still without wifi even though we have paid for engineer and monthly rate. Engineers don’t turn up to appointments neither do they update you of their absence. Haven’t received complimentary voucher neither. Beyond disappointed they haven’t done anything remotely reasonable nor justifiable.

    Lousy broadband - very poor signal, appalling customer service. If I were John Lewis I would stop putting my name to this. Because I was out of contract when i asked to move house they said they'd charge me £65 or else I could choose to be locked in to another contract with them - heads they win, tails I lose. I don't want to be with a company that treats me like this. Please avoid at all costs if you value your sanity.

    within days of signing up they informed me of a price increase. so for 10+ montha i have had to pay an extra £2 per month. under new rules i could have cancelled but i had already paid the connection fee of around £70. now my contract is nearly at an end and i have contacted via account query 3 times and not even an acknowledgement. would definitely not recommend....i am going direct to plusnet who at present dont increase charges during initial contact.

    I placed an order for a connection and router one month ago. Money was immediately taken from my account and then... silence... Any questions asked in the online query system they recommend go ignored, the average hold time on the phone is 30+ (with potentially the worst hold music I have ever heard), customer service tends to just tell you its all going to be sorted and to wait 24 hours, and proceed to do nothing about the problem. I've now jumped ship and am trying another company with no sign of a refund happening any time soon.

    Funnily enough when I phoned to cancel the agent on the other end was more than happy to, the entire call took no more than 2 minutes. He sounded like he wanted to die.

    Not a good experience, never got service.
    Did my order by phone as web method redirected me to a phone number when ordering the most basic (10Mb) service.
    Lost all trace of my order, but had already taken the initial month's payment on a credit card. Then it took a month to get that refunded.

    I swapped to John Lewis broadband because I (mistakenly) believed it to be the same quality as everything else about John Lewis... how wrong can you be!
    Had no issue with changeover (other than router arriving only the afternoon before changeover date, which had me fretting). Since then two major problems appeared:
    1- speed has dropped, even though ping tests indicate about 35-37Mps. iPlayer sometimes hangs, which it didn't with the previous supplier (SSE).
    2- they don't want to take the DD payment, even though there's plenty of money in the account. Each month I try paying on line - it doesn't work (can't access the payment area) so I have co call and pay by card.
    The people on the phone are great, but the rest of it is utter rubbish.
    Pity. John Lewis has such a great reputation as well.

    I have ordered the broadband in June. 2 months later, with a response time of 2 weeks on average they still don't know when I could expect to receive it.
    Thus far they have missed 4 of their "deadlines"

    SHOCKING. SHCOKING SHOCKING. AVOID AVOID AVOID. SIGNED UP FOR BROADBAND AND LANDLINE PACKAGE OVER 4 WEEKS AGO AND STILL NOT CONNECTED!!!!!
    Everytime I phone (in queue for ages with depressing crackly music. then told it is all getting sorted. They make up some twoddle and tell you it is being sorted. Then Nothing. So I phone back to find out what is happening RE the lack of connection& landline. Same old story - am in phone queue, then get lied to, and nothing happens again. They are using Covid as an excuse, just like so many other companies are. Thought better of a JL service :( Am off to meditate now to reduce my stress and fed-up levels :) )
