appalling customer service,very unreliable broadband phone service intermittent.
They put up their prices a few months ago and offered an opt out if you wanted to cancel.So two months ago I terminated my contract but they have ignored this and despite many attempts at contacting them they are still sending me bills and threatening letters.Avoid their broadband like the plague.

My contract amount was changed very shortly after taking the contract with John Lewis Broadband. I took the option offered to cancel the contract within 30 days as a result of the price change. However, despite phoning immediately to cancel, and receiving confirmation I had cancelled, they still text and emailed me after the service ended, saying I owed early cancellation charges of £87. I had to make several phone calls to clear this up, and, when I tried to email in response to the chasing emails and texts, these bounced back sayimg no incoming emails allowed telling me to go to the website. Spoke further being held with excessively loud rock music (i had to place call under pillow - not on loud speaker!! - and could still hear the music) when they said they didn't know their emails were translated into a notification to log on to their website to "create a ticket". Their texts can be sent "read and reply", but they send their texts "send only". Very very frustrating and upsetting. Never again will I use either John Lewis or their back up service Plus net. I cannot recommend John Lewis Broadband at all. Tip to John Lewis Broadband - Customer service is key and you failed miserably and have one irritated and upset customer who will never return.

I was with Waitrose for many years and never had a problem. Customer service was very good as was broadband speed and reliability. The change over to "Green bee" went very well and I retained my old email address and personal website URL and all has remained as good as ever it was except for Waitrose webmail which I've used for years with no problems. About a year ago I started to experience drop outs and disruption to Waitrose webmail so much so it's become virtually unusable! I recently found out after posting a complaint that John Lewis is aware of the problem
and they have now suggested I use the John Lewis webmail service? I was never informed that there are two services running and I have been tearing my hair out wondering why the old Waitrose webmail service had become so appalling! Why on earth did John Lewis not inform me and why has the old Waitrose webmail site not been closed down?
To give John Lewis their due they have been experiencing countrywide problems and their/plusnet service is undergoing a massive upgrade at present. So apart from the webmail fiasco I remain very happy with their overall service and having heard some of the horror stories about other ISP's I will remain with John Lewis.

AVOID John Lewis, I really wish I had read the reviews before I signed up, I have been with them for 2 weeks and still no broadband connection and now they have the cheek to up the prices for the phone by £2 per month despite me having a contract saying I had signed up for a year at £13.30. UP to now I had always shopped at John Lewis but no more, this has totally ruined my faith in them.

Absolute rubbish. Broadband speed is like a snail . Constant problem with being disconnected from the internet everytime it rains you get disconnected every couple of minutes. John Lewis then decided to up their prices and said if customers wished to leave because of this they would not have to pay any exit fees. After advising them that I wished to change companies as a result of this price increase they then emailed me and said I would have to pay a cancellation fee. After sorting this out they then tried to bill me for their services after I had changed to another provider. It is impossible to contact this company by phone as you just get left on hold forever.This company do not deserve any stars.

Just don't even think about it. The service is dire, without doubt the worst broadband provider I have ever had - can't wait till the contract ends. I will be avoiding John Lewis/PlusNet/BT in future. What a silly way to trash the John Lewis brand.

I switched from BT to John Lewis broadband a year and half ago, due to the reputation of John Lewis.
John Lewis broadband use Plusnet as their carrier. I have had issues with the service ranging from dropped connections, low speeds (sub 2 MBPS) and bad customer service.
The hub that is provided is low power and I get no signal after 5 meters.
I tried calling the customer service team numerous times to resolve the issue, but they are absolutely useless.
I have signed up with another provider and I am hoping they cannot be as incompetent as John Lewis.

Most of the time download speed is below 0.3 mbs Has been below 010mbs.
Impossible to view even low resolution videos. Emails with attachments often time out. It's probably due to a poor telephone line, but it's still john lewis's responsibility!
