A very disappointing service given to customers when the bills are always paid on time and service is always discounted due to failure on their system when complain no one wants to listen and asking for compensation, just the bear minimus for the day is given. ( I am taking a couple of pounds if you are bothered to argue )

Hi there,

just to clarify — the service was restricted because of a missed payment, not due to a system failure. Once payments are back up to date, the service comes back on in full. We totally get how frustrating this situation can feel, but we’re always here to help if you’d like us to go over your account and make sure everything’s in order.

Hi there John,

We’re really sorry again for the long wait you had getting connected — that external fault was totally outwith our control, but we completely understand how frustrating it must’ve been for you. When Alisha spoke with you a few weeks ago, we confirmed that we’d be adding a free month of broadband as an apology. If you’ve not seen that applied yet, please drop us a quick message and we’ll make sure it’s sorted right away. 💜

Was little tricky to get things set up from the start would have been nice if an engineer came out to sort the problem out but in the end had to sort it out on my own first month payment was taken even though I never had any Internet for that 1 month so tricky company but so far Internet is going ok

Hey,

Thanks for letting us know about your experience. Sorry the setup was a bit of a pain at the start — definitely not how we want things to go. We’ve already refunded that first month so you’re covered, and it’s great to hear your internet’s running smoothly now. If you ever get stuck again, just give us a shout and we’ll jump in to help. 💜

Connection, setup and ongoing support all straightforward. Help available when there have been any issues with performance (all down to local conditions and not the wider network)

Exemplary service

Anytime there has been an issue,you get an email to say that there is that issue. Also anytime I have messaged them on WhatsApp they are very quick and helpful. Faultless so far in 17 months in.

Lack of Support / connection issues for a new customer

I am a new customer and am meant to be connected through them having had my previous internet provider cut their service overnight. I am currently trying to contact Brillband through email, WhatsApp and through their website chat and have been trying for the past hour to engage any support team members to no avail. I am reliant on an internet connection for work and this is having an impact on my ability to perform my job. Very poor experience so far.

Hi there, we’re really sorry for the frustrating start — we completely understand how important your connection is for work.

I can see that Emma has responded to you this morning and that you’ve been having a conversation with her. She’ll continue working with you directly to get everything up and running as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience while we sort this out. 🙏

Hi there, I’m sorry to hear you’ve had trouble getting in touch. I’ve checked and can see several members of our team have responded to the tickets raised, but it looks like we didn’t hear back from you about the issues.

That said, I’ll arrange for someone to reach out to you again today so we can get this looked at and hopefully rectified for you. 🙏

Brilliant service all round

Every interaction with Brillband has been brilliant - super friendly customer service team and the WiFi is so good we don’t think about it anymore 😅
Really recommend if you are thinking about switching.

You took Direct debit from my bank account when I didn't have broadband connection

Reply from Brillband

Hi there, we’re really sorry about this — the direct debit request was linked to a failed order, which is why the payment was taken even though you never had an active broadband connection. This was our mistake, and we’ve now removed your details from our system to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Our team will also double-check your account and ensure everything is fully resolved. 🙏

Hi there, we’re really sorry you’ve had this experience. I want to reassure you that we have responded to the messages we’ve received from you and a case has been raised with CityFibre to get this resolved. We’ll keep chasing for updates and will be back in touch as soon as we have more information.

Go live 11/09 no internet spoke to someone on the 11th issue with Openreach it will now be the 12th. Its now the 12th still no internet no contact and nobody replying to whatsapp or there live chat, been trying to get in contact since they open at 9am now 2pm.

Still no broadband as of the 14th, the only way to get hold of them is to complain on there social media no response on there WhatsApp or support chat.

Now cancelled no confidence they will ever get this fixed. Plusnet will have us sorted in 4 days.

Hi there, we’re really sorry to read this — the delays and lack of updates clearly left you without confidence in us, and we completely understand your frustration. You should never feel like the only way to reach us is through social media, and we’ll be reviewing this to make sure no one else feels the same.

We’re sorry we couldn’t get things working for you this time, but thank you for giving us a try. We’ll take your feedback on board to improve how we handle activations and communication in future. 🙏
