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.

Great customer service

Megan contacted us to warn us of some extra charges on mum's phone bill, this enabled us to contact the offending company and stop any further excessive charges.
Great customer service. Thank you.

The customer service I received was excellent.

From my initial enquiry to "going live" the people I dealt with were professional, efficient and courteous in their approach.
A minor hitch was dealt with promptly without any problem.

Review of invoices and payments.

Inspire Telecom have been providing my internet access for a couple of years now. I have always found their help desk very competent and easy to access (no long waits). Last week I was reviewing my invoices from them and I called them as there were a couple of things that I did not understand. They then undertook to do a complete review of all of my invoices and payments going back over the last year. This took a couple of days (over a weekend) and they then provided a very thorough breakdown and explanation of everything. This completely answered all of my queries. So full marks to them for being so thorough and helpful.

I have been a customer of Inspire for 5 years now

I have been a customer of Inspire Telecom for the past five years, and as a person who values reliable service and prompt assistance, I couldn't be more satisfied with their offerings.

The best part of Inspire Telecom is their customer service. I have contacted them a few times, and each time, my call was answered within the UK very quickly, no long hold times. This fantastic in today's world, where long hold times are unfortunately common.

Ripping off the elderly

Very disappointed with this company. My 89 year old father signed up to this company after a cold call where he was led to believe that they were taking over from BT in the area a few years ago. He is now moving house so I have tried to cancel the contract as we want to go with BT who are offering phone line cheaper as opposed to Inspire who not only charge a monthly rate more than BT but also ask him to pay over £170 every January up front for 12 months line rental . Way more expensive than BT. They are now saying that he owes £380 termination fee as he allegedly agreed to sign up until Jan 2026! Disgraceful way to prey on elderly people. I will be requesting a recording of the telephone conversation where he allegedly agreed to extending his contract as he can’t recall this and said he would not have agreed to this as his house was on the market.

Great patience and knowledge

A company who shows great patience and resolve for us, we aren't very technical, my parents called very flustered as their broadband and care line stopped working when they got new phones. It seems they may have muddled up the setup when changing them. They spoke to Sam who walked them through getting the line and broadband working and kindly advised to contact the council immediately as the care line seemed to be faulty. He even followed up with them to make sure they were okay and again stressed the need to call the care line provider.

A very personal touch to them which Inspire weren't obligated to do. Definitely an inspiring company and a breathe of fresh air.

Phone line not working

Phone line not working, simple phone call, taken through the options and warned of possible cost if fault was on the householder side, offered a solution to help if there was a cost however speedily resolved once reported to OpenReach.
So helpful, so personal as I felt I was being treated as a person rather than a unit. Well done, a credit to this company.
