Inspire Telecom

Broadband Made Better.

Reliable broadband and real support for UK homes and small businesses.

Residential Business

⚡ About Inspire Telecom Inspire Telecom is a UK broadband, phone and mobile provider for homes and small businesses. We operate on the Openreach network, so the lines are the same ones the big providers use. What's different is how we run the service around them.

1 Honest Onboarding. Realistic speeds, full cost from month one, no hidden terms.
2 Proactive Fault Ownership. We find the root cause, not just reset the router.
3 60-Second Human Response. A real UK person answers, on average, within 60 seconds.
4 Fixed-Price Protection. The price on the contract is the price that gets paid.
5 Fair Exit, Earned Retention. Customers stay because the service delivers.

The Inspire Service Standard

Written by the company

We care more for our customers than we do about the money.
That's the starting point for everything. Reliable broadband and real support shouldn't be the exception. We operate on the Openreach network, and run the service around it the way we'd want our own broadband handled. A real UK-based person answers within 60 seconds on average. The price on the contract is the price paid for the full term. When something breaks, we find the root cause, not just reset the router. Customers stay because the service delivers.

The price on the contract is the price you pay.

No mid-contract price rises. Ever.

Fixed-Price Protection is one of the five pillars of the Inspire Service Standard. The price agreed at sign-up is the price paid for the full contract term. No annual CPI rises built into the small print. No creeping fees added on quietly. No surprises six months in. This is a genuine commitment, not a marketing line. If the monthly cost on your contract is £X, that's what you pay in month one, month twelve, and month twenty-four.

Continual impressive service

After a weekend of very intermittent BB (I live remotely and we had a big wind storm last week) I called Inspire at 0920 this (Monday) morning. My call was answered within a minute by someone who spoke politely and clearly......and importantly, helped me to test and fix the problem. Very impressive - as I have been every time I have phoned Inspire. I am delighted with their service after 15 months of being with them.

Excellent service from friendly and knowledgeable staff

I recently moved to Inspire from BT and all my dealings within the company were first class from initial contact onwards. I was a little anxious about the actual transfer itself, but it was reassuring to have a named person to assist, and in the event all went smoothly. Ryan was especially efficient in ironing out a technical glitch with my mobile, liaising with the technical team and getting back to me promptly. Overall, it was the friendly and knowledgeable staff, who made my experience such a positive one. Thank you !

Being in my 80s I was somewhat nervous about connecting with Inspire and rang to be talked through a couple of difficulties which arose. My calls were answered almost immediately and what had seemed insuperable problems were solved within minutes.

Wonderful system, installation process was difficult

I'm giving 4 stars because the installed system is wonderful, but it has taken 7 days to get here. Once i complained they started to listen and sorted me out.
My feedback would be they should put the following into their procedures :-
1.Warn people that sometimes you could be left without a service for several days when changing suppliers.
2. When Mesh equipment is ordered\requested it is sent out ready for go-live. If out of stock they should tell you, not wait for you to chase it up.
In the end they ordered the equipment from Amazon.

If i'd known about these 2 things i would have planned a different cutover date.

The solution i now have is excellent and got sorted out quickly once the right people got involved.

Dear Steve,

We apologise for the inconvenience you've experienced and appreciate your feedback. We take your concerns seriously and would like to address them.

Firstly, we regret any issues you encountered with our customer service and the knowledge of our call staff. We strive to provide the best possible service to our customers, and it's clear we fell short in your case. We will review our training and support procedures to ensure that our staff is better equipped to assist customers in the future.

Regarding the switch from BT and the delays in internet and landline services, we understand how frustrating this can be. We acknowledge that timely and seamless transitions are essential. We want to clarify that the delay in internet service was due to factors beyond our control, such as Openreach, in this case, the engineer had completed internal works, before completing external works which has caused the issues you have faced with install, we are actively addressing this with them. We have provided you with a 5g router which is not a standard practice during transfer as your case is an unusual circumstance, this was provided to cause you as little disturbance as possible whilst we try to rectify the issues that were caused by Openrech.

As for the quality of our equipment, Our boxes are of a high standard. In majority of cases, they are equal to or even better than competitors. We apologise if you found the mesh solution and router to be of poor quality and if it has resulted in reduced WiFi performance however, we have successfully transferred thousands of customers, please appreciate that there may be other factors that can contribute to poor service that may be beyond our control.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services, and we are committed to addressing these issues to provide you and our other customers with a better experience. Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team for any further assistance, and we will ensure that you receive a call tomorrow from Senior Management to discuss and rectify the situation accordingly.

Please also note that I am personally investigating your concerns and I will ensure you are provided with a speedy outcome.
