Is Post Office broadband any good?
We have reviews and ratings from 10 verified customers of Post Office broadband.
We surveyed new customers 60 to 120 days after switching to Post Office - here's what they told us:
-
Very satisfied with the fast speed of the internet as well as the speed they connected me (2 weeks) even during the pandemic. Price is very cheap but the connection is strong and reliable. The only feedback I would give is that they communicate solely by post in the first weeks - I know it's the post office but seriously it's 2020!
-
I have found the broadband can be very slow. The included wifi router is also not very good for 2 or more devices. Customer service is easy to contact over the phone but have no option to pay bill online .
-
No problems with the switch. Mostly brilliant connection, and good speed. Good customer service.
On average, people switching to Post Office saved around £14.3 per month, and rated their Post Office broadband 8.3/10.
New customers told us that they waited around less than 2 weeks between ordering and getting set up with Post Office.
