    Avoid avoid avoid! Been passed from pilar to post. Spoke to nearly all the staff at the customer services department and none could come up with a reason why they haven’t been connected the internet in over a month. They still had the cheek to charge me even though I was promised I wouldn’t have to pay. Even now I’m sitting here without any internet a months and a half later. Worst company ever. I’ve cancelled my contract and gone elsewhere. Complete waste of time.

    Administratively a joke as a company. They ignore complaints. Their internet service is unreliable. They fail to provide the service paid for. They lie and fail to meet their empty promises. A disgrace of a company. One of the biggest mistakes I've made going with them - negatively impacting my credit rating, failing to provide internet, and driving me stir crazy with abysmal service.

    Definitely NOT recommended. Signed up to an 18 month contract for 22.50 per month and ended up paying nearly £30 per month by end of it. Extras added on that I had not requested - apparently an email was sent advising of charges and right to cancel, I have no record of any email. Admittedly I didn't always notice the amount being taken from my account but if you're signed up for a set amount each month you shouldn't need to. Decided just to change provider when contract ended only to receive an email telling me I'll be subject to early termination charges. As a result I phone them and just get the hard sell trying to convince me to stay with them. The broadband service received during the contract was not reliable, we frequently had to restart the router and devices to get connection. They need to improve the service on offer and be more transparent about charges.

    They took unauthorised payments out of our account leaving us with no money for food. They were totally uncaring and unhelpful saying it would take them approx a week to reimburse us. Also said they had no provision for helping customers in financial difficulty. We are pensioners and they were rude and uncaring of a problem that they caused.

    Dreadful company, if having a reliable broadband connection is important to you please use a different supplier.

    Despite accepting that there is issues on the line which they've had weeks to fix - they just blame openreach and refuse to let me leave without penalty even though they know the line is still at fault and dropping most days.

    Similar to other reviews, they have an attitude of me being stuck with the contact even though its not working, which is really immoral,

    Having to pay for extra data daily on my phone so that I can work from home for the charity i volunteer for - which can't carry on so until I can move provider I can't help suicidal people

    Ever since setting up my account with them they have overcharged me. This month they advised me my direct debit had failed and so I rang up to sort this out. They took a payment from my debit card and also took the direct debit. Contacted them regarding the overcharges and the double payment and they refused to refund. The service isn't even that great - very patchy.

    Be very careful, many legal clauses designed to catch you out and charge £££


    Be very, very cautious when interacting with this company.

    There are clearly many legal ways with contracts that they aim to get money from you. If this provider is your only option, fine.. But if you can choose a mainstream supplier like BT, Vodaphone, PlusNet etc.. go with them, even if it's a few £ more.

    Issue is contracts - if you move house it's £59 - other providers it's free.

    If you cancel - maybe you move country or house, that's £280

    If you cancel it has to be exactly 45 to 30 days before contract ends, miss that window, it's £280. Even if you specifically ask their call centre 'is there anything else I need to know' they will not proactively say, you need to return the router within 14 days after you cancel or there's a ~£125 charge. - Other providers don't charge.

    I just asked to move house, I need to call them again, but it looks like rather than just moving and staying at the same price, they've signed me up to another year at full price. Edit. yes, looked in their terms and conditions, I've been put on a new contract at a higher price and they said nothing in the live chat -I literally asked 'is there anything I need to know' and they said no.

    Look on page 14 of their 'pricingGuide', if you cancel it's a rounded up monthly fee, plus £125 for the worst router I've ever seen, plus an activation fee.
    If you miss a payment, that's another £100 fee, miss engineer £120, engineer finds an issue with a wire in your house, that's £150 an hour to fix !!
    Versus Vodaphone they install fibre to my house for free with a crane !


    Absolutely disgusting, I know for a fact that many, many people will be caught out by this. You have to proactively think of every possibility and eek it out of them, comply with their very specific requirements that are designed to catch you out.

    Do not sign up if you have the choice and if you can, leave this predatory company. Not to mention the month to get connected and multiple missed setup dates initially meaning my GF spent 2 weeks going to weatherspoons and buying food to use their wifi for college work, costing us yet more money.

    Horrible customer service. Automated customer support just hangs up because they are TOO busy to take your call (get more people employees). When you eventually get through they say a 10 min wait but 2 hours later I'm still waiting. Please avoid.

    On Friday I returned home from work to find my internet service was down. I tried restarting my router but nothing changed. As it was after hours for the customer service line, I decided to wait until the next morning to see if it resolved itself. The next morning it was still out, so I dug through the website (which makes it extremely difficult to find a way to contact the company) until I found the customer service number and gave them a call. They told me that, as it was the weekend, no technicians were available so I'd have to wait to the middle of the next week to get anyone out. Frustrating to go several days without internet, but I was assured the time I was without service would be factored in to my next bill.

    On Monday I got notice that a technician would be sent to my flat Wednesday morning and I needed to be there from 8 am - 1 pm to meet them. That meant taking time off of work, but I needed my internet service restored, so I arranged it with my employer.

    Wednesday morning, I get a message that a technician is on their way to me, and giving me their contact number. I wait several more hours, but as it gets closer to 1 pm, I'm nervous that I might not be able to get to work on time if they take longer than expected, so I ring up the technician. What do they tell me? "I'm in Scotland, nowhere near you, I don't know why they told you I'd be there today."

    Fuming, I ring OneStream. "We don't know why your order was sent to someone in Scotland, a mistake must have been made somewhere along the line." Can I get another technician today? "No, we don't have any contact with the technicians, OneStream employs them." So what do I do? "Someone will be in touch by the end of the week."

    So now I still have no internet service, I've wasted my morning and had to use my time off for no reason, I'll have to use MORE time off whenever they finally get someone to come out--IF the next person they send actually comes--and no one can help me because no one I've spoken to is actually responsible for anything.

    I've been a customer of OneStream for less than a month. This is absolutely unacceptable and if they can't get my service turned back on, I'll be cancelling and going with another provider. I know they'll hit me with an early cancellation fee, but honestly it would be worth it to get my services from someone who doesn't treat their customers this way. Disgraceful.

    Speed on the line was not great- certainly not the levels they ‘guarantee’. They have some questionable business practices (hard to cancel free extras, unclear exit fees, no email or text based communciation)
    The hub I was sent didn’t transmit Wi-Fi around a 1 bed flat and if I wanted to pay another £4 a month they would give me a better hub.

    Absolutely horrendous company. DO NOT under any circumstances sign up to them. They charge for extras that I didn't sign up to and tried to charge me £169 for a final bill when they were still supplying my WiFi, no ideal where the final bill came from. Reply to complaints takes them around 4 to 5 weeks!! STAY CLEAR

    Unparalleled Incompetence and Disregard for Customers' Well-Being
    I am compelled to share my shocking experience with the handling of my contract transfer and the subsequent nightmare of billing and communication with Onestream Broadband company. It is evident that this company's incompetence knows no bounds, and I feel it is my duty to warn others of the abysmal service I have received.
    In early April 2023, I reached out to Onestream Broadband company's customer service department, providing them with ticket number ref:_00D0YrFw3._50007UcD2O:ref, to inform them about my upcoming home move and request the transfer of my remaining contract to my new address. To my disbelief, I was met with a ludicrous demand to make a phone call before any progress could be made. Since I was abroad at the time, I entrusted my wife to contact them on my behalf. Shockingly, they callously refused to assist her solely because she was not the named person on the contract.
    Determined to resolve this matter, I made numerous international calls to Onestream Broadband company's customer service, only to endure endless waiting times and exorbitant costs. In a desperate attempt to establish communication, I provided my UK mobile phone number, which was on roaming, so they could reach out to me. However, their response was baffling—they claimed they were unable to make outgoing calls. Astonishingly, it was then decided that the move-over process could be completed without any call whatsoever. The sheer lack of consistency and coherence within this company is mind-boggling.
    Meanwhile, on April 3rd, 2023, I received a notification from Onestream Broadband company indicating that my contract (OS10134650) was nearing its end. They gleefully informed me that if I stayed with the same tariff, my monthly cost would change to a supposedly "super low" price of £34.95 whereas I was originally paying £21.95 for the 12 months Agreement from April 2022 to May 2023. However, given the complete lack of progress in transferring my contract to my new address, I made the unfortunate decision to sign up for a new contract in my wife's name through their website. This step was taken solely to ensure that the named person on the contract would be notified when the service went live. Subsequently, I responsibly returned the old modem to them via registered parcel post, which they have received according to Royal Mail tracking site.
    To my utter dismay, Onestream Broadband company continues to charge me for the old contract at a staggering amount of £60.23, despite providing no service under that contract. Adding insult to injury, their emails and text messages regarding this matter bear the "no-reply" prefix, effectively shutting down any avenue for direct response. An email to their widely advertised hello@onestream.co.uk returns an automatic reply with a warning that “This email address is not monitored, and therefore any email will not be responded to.” This deliberate attempt to evade accountability and disregard customer concerns is simply appalling.
    Despite my loyalty to Onestream Broadband company, as evidenced by signing up for a new contract (OS10165639) at my new address, they have shown a complete lack of attention and response to most of my emails, have been charging me more that the advertised fee I signed up for, surreptitiously added McAfee AV software fees I do not and have luckily canceled after painful protests, leaving me in a state of extreme distress. Unfortunately, it seems that this company thrives on ignoring customer complaints and concerns.
    It is worth noting that despite extensive efforts, I have been unable to locate their live chat service online. I demand that they provide me with the link to access this supposedly non-existent service. Additionally, I have wasted countless hours on hold, attempting to speak with their representatives over the phone, only to be met with perpetual disappointment.
    Onestream Broadband company should take immediate action to rectify their failures, and provide a swift and fair resolution to these unimaginable issues. It is my sincerest hope that others will be spared from enduring such a nightmarish ordeal with a company that exhibits such an astounding level of incompetence and complete disregard for its customers.

    Ok, So I went with Onestream as they were cheap ..really cheap when compared to others. I'm a grown man & should have really known better in fairness.

    Ordered FTTC (Fibre to the Cab) - but the order was then changed to normal Copper dal end to end as there was no capacity in the local exchange for Fibre ...despite me being able to order it via their website. (Strike 1)

    Everything was ok for the first 4/5 months ...not amazing speeds - but enough to work with.
    Then the problems started ......

    All of a sudden my broadband price DOUBLED, and some rubbish email from them claimed this was due to the COVID-19 situation.... How/Why/WTAF ? (Strike 2)

    Last month I had a fault on the line, line had noise on it, broadband would drop out for a few hours at a time. Tried reporting it to them via their amateur website & to be frank about it - I've had better trips to the dentist.
    Was constantly told there was no issue found, it got to the stage where I lost my cool said I was going to a different provider. All of a sudden a 'fault' was detected on my line. I can only put this down to a pure coincidence (Strike 3)

    So to recap, (1) I didn't get what I ordered in the first place. (2) My price has doubled due to a nasty flu like bug (3) They need to be forced to look into problems.

    3 strikes .. I'm out and heading towards Plusnet

    Stay safe & stay clear of Onestream broadband

    DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THESE THIEVES.
    Long story short, they set up a direct debit and charged me for the present month and next month, fair enough. Once they had took the payment they then set up another direct debit in a different name and tried to take the payment again.
    When I blocked that transaction they cut off my broadband stating that they reserve the right to stop my service if I don't have an active direct debit? After many phone calls confirming the original direct debit was still active my broadband still wasn't re-activated. Then I got repeated text messages telling me I was in breach of contract and will be charged for the rest of the years subscription, which they had turned off.
    Looked at my bank account yesterday and they had used my card details I gave them for the £10 router delivery, took £30 for kaspersky anti virus that I had opted out of and confirmed on 2 separate occasions. I saved the online chat transcript but this didn't make any difference, it was being passed to the relevant department.
    Absolute scam merchants and thieves, avoid at all costs

    Based on my own experience I cannot recommend doing business with this Company at all. I was fully paid up until midnight on 31 July 2023 at which point my Broadband arrangement with Onestream was due to end.In plenty of time, I had earlier advised Onestream that I would not be wanting any further Broadband from them beyond Monday 31 July 2023 due to an extended trip overseas. Onestream did not like that at all and, in a fit of pique and without any prior notification, they unilaterally decided to cut-off my Broadband connection at the end of Sunday 23 July 2023.Not only did they not reinstate my Broadband connection at any time between 24 July and 31 July 2023, they have also not refunded me for the money that I had previously paid to them for that particular period.Such petulant behaviour on the part of Onestream speaks volumes about the sort of Company they are. In my opinion, not only is their behaviour immoral and unethical, it also illegal to extract full payment from a customer then not provide a full Broadband service for the complete month and also fail to reimburse the Customer for the period in question ie. their behaviour is that of an Organised Crime Gang - this was not an administrative error on their part, it was knowing, deliberate and intentional - they knew exactly what they were doing. It follows that one should think long and hard before entering into any Contract with this Company. Based on my experience and my perception, it seems to me that it is yet another Broadband company which, if it were possible to shake hands with them, you would have to count your fingers afterwards.

    This a terrible ISP to cancel any form of contract with as there is virtually no way of contacting them and if you email you never receive a response.
    My 'going live' date for an 18month broadband contract was 17/04/2021. Therefore my contract would expire on or around the 17/10/2022. They require 30 days notice to cancel your contract which I gave on approx 05/09/2022 via my new ISP.
    However, Onestream have now charged me an early termination fee of £91.53 with no explanation on how they came to that figure with less than a month left of my contract. Complete con merchants. If I cancel my DD they charge £10 per month as a default payment until I pay the £91. Even though I've gone paperless billing they didn't even email me my final bill or suggest that it was ready for payment. I had to double check myself on my account with them. Having looked at previous customer outcomes I am not the only person to have experienced this situation. Please take note and do yourself a favour and avoid this sham of a company

    I can see that up until Onestream I had always had good service with other suppliers because Onestream is terrible.

    Right from the start the connection would drop out randomly through the day and now 11 months later it still does. Some nights it makes watching any streaming content totally impractical.
    On occasion I used to do a little gaming but again because of the random dropped connection it can really ruin online gaming experience.

    Service (what service!), We have made a lot of calls to Onestream talked to their operators and engineer several times. We tried everything they told us including a new router, wired and unwired connections and turning everything off and on. No fix. They will not countenance letting us out of contract and just give use the run around between the operators and the engineer.
    Awful.

    Worst customer services in the Universe, never answer phones , ( hours spent) email the same , that’s if you can find a email that works, resorted to record delivery, guess also ignored. Once in control of your direct debit, they take extra, will ( a lot of extra money). No explanation, someone would need to talk to you. Never received an invoice in a year, never received a contract. Cancelling is nearly impossible, they make it so. Not person from the company has once bothered to look into my issues, they just take unjustified, unexplained , increases in money taken.
    Guess make the mistake of getting company to take notice, I wrote a review, guess instead of addressing my concerns, they cut of my internet the next morning.
    It was on a Month by month basis, ( I confirmed be recorded delivery) it ran our end Sept , they cut it of 10 days early, and changed £45 instead of £25
    Of no one wises to explain, now it’s matter of principle, seeking legal advice tomorrow, onestream customer services no existent ☹️

    Truly horrendous! Particularly in the last year, multiple attempts to force you into added "extras" at additional costs. Forcing you to actively cancel them. No customer service at all. Have tried to contact them three times. Avoid !

    These must be the worst broadband provider ever. Increase prices without informing you, then add a additional care package on @ £3.95. month without informing you, then don’t answer the phone.

    My original £22.50 pm is now £29.50 pm, despite there advertising blurb or no increase throughout one contact

    The worst WiFi I have ever had, my biggest regret was moving from Sky. I have complained and was told by Onestream that at the router they comply with speed.
    So WiFi must be due to cheap or poor router as this hasn't happened before.

    DO NOT USE ONESTREAM.

    Worst experience with a business I've ever had. 1. A "system glitch" caused them to fail to ship my router on time, their direct rldebit system repeatedly failed to charge my account and then they did not give me a deadline to make up the payment before terminating my account and billing me £300. Their customer service over phone is awful and you will wait over an hour for an agent. I once emailed a complaint and instead of recev8ng a response in 3 days it tool 3 weeks. Do not give them your business and tell all of your friends to avoid them. This company does not deserve to be in business.

    Sometimes it’s not too bad but most of the time it’s unbelievably slow and unusable

    Absolutely shocking, I would like to call them a company but fraudsters is probably more fitting, these people will do everything to take your money and nothing to help there’s a reason why they’re cheap! Do not fall for it I did worse choice ever!
    Even after the contract has ended they won’t let you leave and keep taking demanding money.

    Whatever you do, dont sign up with these clowns. They opted me into some insurance policy that I insisted they could not do without my consent, They have been taking the money and are refusing to respond to my complaints - ombudsman here we come

    Same issues as many other people. Wifi in the house, pathetic. Drops out all the time. Can't watch catch up. Phoned many times and followed instructions. Now told, nothing else to do but buy a mesh system. So more expense to prop up their poor performance. To cap it all, now been charged for the McAfee which was told at the beginning it would not be charged for. Totally regret gong to Onestream. Big bad mistake.

    Appalling service - avoid at all costs . We cancelled our autistic daughter’s contract when we moved her out of her property . We paid fully - Oct payment made in nov , nov payment made in dec - she vacated the property nov 21st .
    Onestream then deemed it appropriate to send our daughter emails chasing her for further payment which they said was in arrears , causing unnecessary stress and anxiety . We contacted them and explained that we had paid in full , only to be told it takes up to 30 days for them to process and so we were liable to pay for a service we did not use in a property vacated , because their process is slow ! It begs belief how this company is still operating, especially at a time when people of sound mind aswell as those with specific conditions and mental health issues, are struggling to cope . At no point did anyone from Onestream advise our daughter of this “so called “ 30 day process until we queried their tactics . Suffice to say we paid the £40.37 ... does that mean they win with their tactics .... not if everyone avoids them at all costs ,please read before being fooled by their “best price “ message, you will pay for the poor decision in the long run

    Worst company I have ever dealt with. Offer you a deal then keeping changing the goalposts. Adding on extra charges for products not required, then after offering 12 months at a fixed price and after agreeing,they then add it has to be a 24 month contact and second year is double the price! Advised 14-16 days connection followed by an email saying an engineer has to come out first which will be in 4 weeks.Now trying to charge me over £500 cancellation despite cancelling same day I received details

    My £18 one year contract ends soon. I do not wish to renew at £39.98 with Onestream but they make it difficult to cancel. You can’t email or write to them. You have to phone them, but after 48 minutes waiting for a operative,Charlie answered and pretended he could not hear me when I said I wanted to cancel.

    We switched to Onestream as they offered a really good broadband price, faster than BT so we switched but from day 1 we haven't received the full service, constant cut outs for long periods, speed issues, WiFi strength is awful, had to upgrade to a better modem for an extra £10 a month but still it cut out every day multiple times, when called they honestly didn't care we had issues, this week on 5/10/21 our Internet was dead, wouldn't work at all, I called them and apparently it was working, they just thought I rang up for the fun of it, they said they'd give me a call back within 48 hours but it's now Saturday when I can't constact them now till Monday, I've tried on many occasions to get out of the contract but I've been given the constant run around and they will not let us leave without paying the rest of our contract, even though we haven't used Internet in 4 days so far, we've had to take up a new package & line with BT just to get better Internet. PLEASE AVOID Onestream, worst customer service I have ever seen.

    A terrible experience that I cannot recommend. The customer service has always said the right things but then never followed through. I was overcharged and it wasn't until 6 months after the contract started it got sorted and all the promises of refunding money, etc never happened. The broadband speed was initially good but has got slower and slower until it is now less than 1/6 of what I should be getting. There helpline takes an age to get through on and they just don't seem to know how to fix the slow speeds. Avoifd at all costs!

    I am incredibly disappointed with the services provided by OneStream. Throughout the duration of the contract, they drastically increased the prices of their service without any valid explanation or justification. This kind of behavior is highly unacceptable.

    One of the biggest issues I encountered was the near impossibility of reaching their customer service department. Attempting to contact them is an exercise in frustration - the hours spent waiting on hold often end with disconnections. This lack of accessibility makes it incredibly challenging to address any concerns or resolve issues.

    When I finally decided to terminate my services, I did so during an online chat conversation with one of their consultants. I received confirmation that the service would be disconnected on a specific date. However, to my surprise, the company continued to charge me for services rendered even after the agreed-upon disconnection date. This is a clear display of their dishonesty and a complete disregard for their customers.

    Overall, I would not recommend OneStream to anyone. Their terrible customer service and unethical practices make it very difficult to use their services. There are many other internet service providers out there that are more reliable and professional.

    Price hike during contract (by reducing discount to purportedly cover "inflation" the first time, no information the second month). And now a force upon service with no prior contact or details. Cancelling.

    Awful, go elsewhere. Only joined in November at £19-95 now they want £29, nearly 30% increase, Internet keeps buffering and trying to contact them is nightmare. Roll on December so I can leave
