    I cancelled with KCOM in October,as I was moving to a new provider.
    They started a new direct debit in November and then took money till I realised in January when I got a letter saying my bill was going up. Rang up staright away, no live chat of course, to be told, the cancellation team had not done their job and it would all be sorted, a credit note would appear followed by a cheque.
    Waited 2 weeks, got the letter, no money.
    Sent some contact us emails, waiting the max 3 days between each one, 700 unread emails to get through apparently.
    Got no useful answers, rang up again, waited on hold for over 30 minutes again, got told they would put it in my bank, why could this not have happened straight away? Have it by Tuesday.
    Ring today (it is Tuesday), its just been actioned this morning, take another 6 days or so. Can I complain to someone please? What are you complaining about? Seriously, you have stolen my money and are now not returning it.
    Escalated to complaints but that takes another 7 days to answer. I can only guess they have a lot of emails to go through judging by how poorly I have been looked after.
    Go with one of the MS3 companies, HullFibre send me a nice email every month to say thanks for being part of their company.

    I'm not sure if they are unserious and scammers or if they're so disorganised that there's no communication or updates being done internally.

    My first contract with them should have ended on 24 January 2024 according to a letter they sent me along with a link to recontract. After following all the steps, they said I would get an email confirming the new contract, which I never received. A few weeks later I get my next bill with an out of contract charge so I contact them after being in the queue for 1h20!!!!
    The agent claimed they never received any recontract request on my account and that my contract actually ended on 22 December 2023, a month earlier than the letter they sent me claimed.
    She offered to put me on a new contract so we went through the options and I picked one. She read the terms to me and I asked her to go through everything again just to confirm the details of the new contract.
    A week later I receive a bill which is higher than what we had discussed so I checked my account online and guess what! They put me on the WRONG contract. Currently trying to contact them again to fix it but their waiting times are so long.

    Avoid this company at all costs if you can.

    The issue is their contract insistence of a 24 month period and those outrageous prices.
    An eye watering +£55 a month, the directors should be in jail for extortion. As for switching - forget it.

    if you like the thrill of money disappearing from your bank account or constantly being lied to
    then struggling for 3 months to get your money back

    if you think this is wonderful then go and sign up for a KCom account. because it gives you all this and more.

    for the rest of us that have better things to do then please please do not make the same mistake i did and sign up with Kcom they are worst company i have dealt with.

    Con artists charged me £430 in cancellation fees when I had to leave the area due to a sudden career change. Even though they are the ones who could no longer provide me with a service in my new location. Not to mention the shocking customer service wait times and awful connection quality I experienced. I would rather spend the rest of my life on fire than deal with this company again.

    ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!!!!!! Don’t even waste your time.

    Liars!!! Useless!!!

    I cancelled before I even got my router or properly set up.

    So I originally set up online, was told that 2 weeks later I had an appointment with someone coming out to set it up for me between 8.30-12pm.
    I have a screen shot of this from their website and also had a email saying someone had tried to call me but I would see a member or Kcom on 13th april.

    Having booked the day off work sat waiting by 12pm no one turned up!! Spoke with a girl who said that because the previous owners were with KCOM that’s why they didn’t come and a router should have been sent. Which why was I not told this , if this was true!? She then said it should be there within 1-2 days . Shock … nothing turned up!
    Spoke to the 2nd person, said it was on its way!
    1 weeks later .. guess what! No router came.
    3rd person, “it hasn’t been sent out, I’ll do it now or will be with you in 3-5 working days…. Can you guess? Nothing!! So I’m now 4.5 weeks in my new home waiting for internet.
    Spoke to someone else, said theyd speak to a team and get it sorted and try get a router sent out!

    Each time I called they didn’t have my name on the account, even after calling up 4 times now . It’s still under the previous owners of my address.

    No one knows what is going on in the office!

    I feel drained trying to speak to anyone on customer services. It’s caused me added stress on moving house!

    What an APPALLING COMPANY!! Don’t even waste your time !!!!!!!!!

    KKOM will not let me down grade my broadband package unless I sign a 24 month contract for the lower price. They are also charging me an extra 3 pounds a month because I refuse to sign a 24 month contract. I am waiting for Grain a new provider so I can change from KKOM which is very expensive !!
