    Absolutely disgusting,have alot of people in the house so there are alot of devices connected but goes randomly about 30 times a day and phoned them multiple times and their attitude is horrendous, do not listen to a word you are trying to tell them and when they do it is fixed for a day and then gors back to being a very bed connection again.

My partner decided to go with them as they the cheapest and had took 4 weeks to set up worst thing we ever done had so SLOW Internet rang up at least 100 times in your months finally left them because of no broadband was promised discount on account for no Internet. No discount and a cancelling charge of 169 without the bill rang to cancel on the 6th April and being charged until 21st !!! Don't accept payment plans being passed to debt recovery. Absolutely disgusting everyone iv spoken to is rude and abrupt !!! Worst customer service wish I could put 0 !!!!!! DO NOT DO IT

    Probably the worst decision I have made to switch providers to PO. Was totally fed up with BT especially after they hiked rates and couldn't/wouldn't enable fibre to our house after they advertised that our exchange (400 yards away) had been enabled. At least with BT I could stream Netflix which I can't with PO. Sometimes better the devil you know!

    The worst service ever! Unfit for purpose! Customer service useless. I was told that our early termination fee was waived but still got bills and threats. Harassment, cruel treatment, and lies...that is their methodology. I wholeheartedly agree with all the other negative responses from other disappointed customers. BEWARE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    Absolute rubbish Broadband speeds (1-2 Mbps download).
    Occasionally service drops out, making us very frustrated and angry.
    Can't understand why PO Broadband is still in service.
    No wonder so many people are leaving them. I also now left them after many years of suffering.

    Stay away from this service. I had my go live date on the 26th November and I’m still waiting for internet on my router it’s been 3 days. I tried calling them several times but they said their engineers are working on the problem but never turned up to check my line. Never get tempted by their low price this shows that lower the price they provide the worsts service.

    Absolutely AWFUL company to deal with. Constant DAILY disconnects. Beyond useless customer service who always blame the customer and not their own shoddy service. STAY CLEAR! of this company. I have been with EE, SKY, BT and never had problems with them. Don't just go for Post Office because of the price like i did.

    Had the worst experience with Post office broadband and service. We paid for a service we never received and were not compensated for this huge error. We were hung up on numerous times and told we were misinterpreting what the customer service people were saying. Dreadful.

    Shocking customer service!!!
    Left me without internet for over 4 weeks in total(over a 3 months period) and still made me pay bill....without a sorry or compensation .
    download speeds are dreadful.....it's quicker to light a fire in your back garden and send smoke signals instead.
    . when you do phone them they will keep you on phone for nearly an hour every time.
    Hold your heads in shame po... shocking customer service!

    Oh my days! The post office broadband is the worst service I have ever had I have struggled to get a good signal for over 12 months I am currently waiting for a technician to come out after having no Internet for over a week. Each time I phoned customer services I am left on hold for over half an hour until somebody comes to the phone. They are usually rude and really don't care. The only Decent customer advisor I had was called Steven Harris. Please do not waste your money with this company. It has been so frustrating as I am disabled and rely on my Internet.

    Receiving 0.5mb/s and support tell me this is what is being payed for and there’s no problem even though the package is advertised as 11mb. Extremely reluctant to look into the line or settings. Infact say they cannot change settings thier end. The only broadband supplier that I’ve come across that are unable to do this. Go with talk talk, it’s cheaper, faster and has better support. Sadly I’m not the account holder in this situation, I can only advise the oap’s to switch as they are getting mugged off by the post office.

    Update (roughly 10 days after home phone and broadband installation) I'm still thrilled with my post office home phone and broadband deal....after all the hundreds of negative reviews on this site,I half expected SOME sort of failure to have occurred by now,once again (ASTONISHINGLY) all is completely fine and I'm very pleased that I signed up for this fantastically cheap deal:excellent call quality and more than adequate broadband ....no problems with my router or any outages etc etc....am I just lucky or have the Post Office started to correct some of the issues mentioned on here by other reviewers?

    After my husband died,I decided to get a better deal (helped by my son) so opted for post office broadband as it seemed very reasonable and also included a new phone line(can't remember the deal it was less than a tenner I'm sure) I had complained for years to my previous supplier Fuel Broadband to fix my crackly line....never any joy from them,so I ditched them and got a new line for next to nothing and unlimited broadband on a very cheap deal (including weekend calls abroad)....Having read all the reviews on here I wasn't optimistic but I have to say I'm very pleased,I can't grumble about the broadband or telephony at all,it's all been reliable and I'm able to do all that I want, including using Netflix and catch up TV without any problems!! For me it's been great....Sadly it would appear I'm the exception!!

    I have had post office home phone and broadband package for over a year now and I can honestly say I can't fault them.My installation was free and was sorted out very quickly with text message updates.The landline is great and I have chopped and changed my call package several times (via my on-line account) currrently I pay £4 extra a month to have free anytime overseas phone calls....amazingly good value!! The broadband router looked a tad flimsy and cheap when it arrived but astonishingly it has provided consistently reliable internet (we watch Netflix every night).....am I the ONLY satisfied customer on here?!!

    Third update from me on this site and since going live on 27th November I haven't had a single problem with my home phone or broadband (touch wood!!) As stated in my first review I found the whole installation process very efficient with frequent and appropriate updates via text and email,the landline call quality is fantastic....no crackle on the line and although the router looks a bit cheap it is currently working like a dream and I'm very happy with my broadband, not a single outage or faiure and the speed test on this website is 13.57 MB download speed and upload 0.67, 71ms ping time....all of this is meaningless to me but I have found internet usage to be completely reliable even when viewing ITV Player or YouTube. When I have phoned customer services to sort out access problems to my online account and billing queries(both resolved)I found the customer service assistants to be polite and helpful.I live 0.9 miles from the exchange so its not as if I can say my overall satisfaction for the P.O Service is down to the fact that I live across the road from the exchange (clearly I don't!).Free broadband for a year ,£12 a month line rental (paid a year in advance) and unlimited calls anytime to UK landlines and 08 numbthe(£7 per month) which includes calls abroad and to UK mobiles over the weekend (from 6pm Frid)....Based on all the negative reviews on this site Im expecting some sort of major failure anytime soon!! Meantime I'm thrilled with my package from the Post Office (fantastic deal and the cheapest by far!!)....I just hope it continues as it SEEMS like I'm the only satisfied customer in the UK!!!

    I had read literally hundreds of very bad reviews for the Post Office home phone and broadband on this website and very nearly cancelled my order for landline and the 'unlimited' broadband package.I have to report (astonishingly!)that the whole process prior to installation was remarkably efficient and customer service focussed,updates via text and email came thick and fast at appropriate times.The Openreach installation was quick and straightforward and the guy even set up the broadband for me!The landline call quality is clear with no crackle in addition I have found the broadband to be just fine for my needs,I watched YouTube videos last night without ANY problems whatsoever and so far I'm REALLY pleased that I took a chance on the Post Office,particularly as they were BY FAR the cheapest package available. The only annoying glitch for me was that waccessinitially ordered the package over the phone the silly woman that took my order mis typed my surname and this has caused an irritating problem with accessing my online Post Office account ,despite a reissue of my correct username and password I still cannot access my account.The technical helpline people have reissued a third password to go with my reissued username....I hope hope third time lucky!!Other than this am REALLY pleased!!

    This broadband must the most ******** broadband in the whole world. Don’t waste your time even thinking of getting PO broadband. I rather use my phone data than use the PO internet. It is a waste of money and time.

    I got no broadband service from Post Office during the 5 mths I was with them as they never managed to get the BB up and working. It cost me hours of time calling them, lost bookings for a holiday cottage, (with no wi-fi people cancelled) and time travelling to try and sort out the problem. In all it was very stressful. Please DON'T go with the Post Office. In the end they only gave me a refund of £50 which didnt even cover the DD bills they had already charged me for this.

    Customer services, will feed you a line, time and time agian. They rely on a direct competitor to install their service. ??? Yes indeed. NUTS!!!... however, for the price, if you are not relying on fast broadband, and your not bothered about any kind of service past 11pm, it's value for the money. Joke otherwise.

    post office broad band is sometimes worse than the old dial up. They are unbelievably bad at everything except when it comes to sending out the bill.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! EVERY day I have trouble connecting to Internet. I have been on this supplier for over a year and wish I could afford to pay to dump it. My connection date came and went. After many calls to helpline and testing my line. Also me having to unscrew a socket which should not be expected of customers. I am disabled and found it quite difficult to get socket off. After a week an engineer was sent out and problem was a cable supplied with router! Whatever you do.... get your Internet somewhere else, anywhere else!

    Absolutely hate the post office.
    Internet never works or is never in range and router keeps shutting down.
    I have contacted the post office and they just keep telling me to do tests which I have done and there is still no difference.
    Now I am refusing to pay for a service I am not receiving
