The switch was pretty quick, I didn't have to do much. Sometimes it can cut off for a few minutes which is annoying. Overall not bad.

The switchover was good. But the service is rubbish, weak wifi and the speed is appalling. I’m looking for new provider already.

Switching over was so easy. I didn't need an engineer and only took a few weeks to complete. Since the switch over I have had no problems at all. Consistent speeds even with a busy household where multiple people are using on different devices. I would absolutely recommend SSE.

Slightly cheaper than my previous provider. The broadband is still pretty slow, and the wifi signal doesn't reach everywhere. Otherwise ok.

Overall it's ok. We had issues with our switch which required an engineer visit to fix, and took longer than expected. The broadband speed is better than my previous provider, but also more expensive.
