Worst Broadband Provider I have ever…
Worst Broadband Provider I have ever used!
Firstly, I told You Fibre on a number of occasions that if things were not resolved then, I felt that they had left me no option, other than to write this review & still no one took the opportunity to commit & resolve this issue. A few promised to but never followed it through.
Customer service is shocking.
Connection is shocking, not stable, speeds constantly dipping & dropping out, making devices disconnected daily.
Speeds shocking, rarely what they should be.
Sales rep will tell you to “read Trust Pilot reviews as people love to moan, so anything will be on there”. If you are considering You Fibre then please also read Google reviews, with lots of people having the same issues as me.
I joined on the 1st September.
Installation was on the 24th September, a date provided by them, not a date we asked for by preference or anything. Since the 24th September to today (30th October), I have to make contact with You Fibre 26 times:
3 times by phone, of which 2 of them I had the call ended on me ( 1st occasion it was answered after around hour, by this time it was 19.50 so due to close, the agent was very uninterested, probably as a result of the time, became unresponsive when I asked for her name & waited for the line to end for close of business. The 2nd time after around an hour to be answered, the call was immediately ended before even speaking).
3 times by email to the complaints department, non of them answered. I got an auto response saying 72 hours & someone should be in contact but nothing, which I think is completely unacceptable for a complaints department.
20 times by Live Chat, as they seem to be answered a lot quicker, but in my experience, to no end result. Lots of going round in circles & turning off & on devices, so that speeds improve, which we simply should not have to do, daily.
Since the 24th September I have also had 2 engineer visits, the first time nothing was found, the 2nd time a new router was provided and some kind of software to the internet box on the wall. But despite all of this nothing has improved.
As a final test we were asked to try a static IP Address & that the agent (steven) would call us back the next day to see if this resolved the issues. Finally we felt we were being listened to & that the issue would be resolved. It didn’t resolve the issues & surprise, surprise he didn't call back to follow this up. Leaving us to contact via Live Chat again. The agent, Nomsa asked me to give them the opportunity to correct the matter & said that she “would make sure that Steven called us back in less than hour”. This didn't happen.
I am now faced with having to try & take this matter to ombudsman as You Fibre are clearly not going to resolve this matter for me.
We had no connection or speed problems with our old provider.
If you do decide to go ahead with choosing You Fibre as your provider, then please make sure that the installation is within the 1st week of you signing up as the “14 days cooling off period” starts from the day you sign up (the day the rep comes round & you agree to everything) and not the day it is installed, something we naively didn't realise. For us that meant our cooling off period had already ended before we had even had the broadband installed & had chance to try it. This is probably purposely done, as it is practically impossible now to leave without early termination fees. T & Cs state that if speeds are not consistent & speeds not as promised then you have the right to leave without the ETFs but you try & do that. I have provided speed test result after speed test result to You Fibre, I have had equipment replaced, co-operated and have been more than patient. But still cannot get out of contract, let alone just get the problem fixed to have the service we are paying for. To date I've paid 2 payments of £25 for a service I am yet to receive.
Please, please save yourself the endless days/hours of having to contact You Fibre . It really is a shocking company in my experience. Selling a product, they can not provide, and the Customer Service is practically non-existent. They quite clearly do not care about their customers.
Got to speak to a real person
Got to speak to a real person without spending hours on hold,Jenny was extremely helpful and patient and sorted my mums phone line problem,Thanks Jenny.
Disgusting company
Disgusting company, going around housing estates cold calling knocking on doors and using high pressure sales tactics, loitering outside people’s houses after dark in dark clothing looking menacing and causing a nuisance. Clearly not very good if they need to stoop to these low standards

Quick reply
I sent my old supplier's itemised invoice to Youfibre yesterday evening and this morning I received a refund for the disconnection fee. Amazingly fast. Also Laetitia Petrorius got back to me very quickly, a couple of hours after my initial email, regarding a question I had about my bill.
Terrible Service
I'm writing this on behalf of my grandparents as I'm disgusted with how they are being treated. I live with my grandparents and so I have saw firsthand how they are being messed around by Youfibre.
They joined back in July of this year and when they had the broadband first installed they were told that an WiFi-booster would be fitted as the internet does not work in one of the bedrooms and this has still not been fitted and they have tried calling but keep getting cut off before getting through to anyone, I have tried the live chat and I keep getting disconnected and I have emailed a few days ago and no response.
The engineer that installed the broadband has left his name and number but now he is not answering his phone or voicemails that they leave him or if he does answer he says he will come over and sort it but never turns up.
When they joined they were told that the buy out fee would be covered to leave TalkTalk and there was no mention of having to send anything in to claim this money it wasn't until the one time we managed to speak to someone on the phone because there was an outage for several days and then when we tried to send the bill they would not accept the first two.
The outage my grandparents were not told about and when I tried to look it up online there was nothing coming up and when I tried the live chat they said there wasn't any outage but then the automated message when you phone say there is and that customers would be updated by email but we wasn't.
Regretting moving from Virgin
Regretting moving from Virgin, can't believe I typed that. Random drops of internet, slow sluggish speeds. Sometimes it ok, but It feels unreliable for 1000 package. The latency seems really poor also compared to previous net provided. Considering switching back after my contract ends.
On hold for over 15 minutes during latest outage. Internet goes down I get it but its far too freqently in my area of late and I need a stable connection working form home.
Did a switch from VM to YF
Did a switch from VM to YF, got the hub installed today by Gary it took little over 1h to get it up running. Looking forward to have a great experience from YouFibre
it is brilliany
It is brilliant I recommend that you get it as soon as possible
Poor connectivity and unreachable customer service
Connectivity has deteriorated and still have no phone line connection. Have tried for days to speak with someone, have emailed and tried live chat to no avail. No replies or solutions to issues. Need someone to call ASAP for account - 118282084.
Install
Friendly, prompt and knowledgeable installer Lee Dwyer done a good job installing my new Broadband.
Broadband installation
Your engineer peter chan was helpful and informative
Great customer service from Maya E
Ultra Super Smooth installation!!
So far, communications have been exceptionally good. It was much appreciated when the Engineer, Dane Moorhead gave me a call when he was available to attend to our Youfibre broadband installation earlier than the time allocated for my installation which was an advantage too.
I thought the installation was going to be more 2 hours but he finished in half the time allocated which I found to be awesome!
Since my recent heart attack and my hubby being poorly with kidney failure, moving and lifting for us was off limits but the kind Mr Moorhead did those jobs for us, I cannot be happier!!
Happy with the technician which… installed my Fibre line
Happy with the technician which installed my Fibre connection. Chris Hearn went above and beyond to get me up and running with my new internet provider.
Danny was so professional & friendly
Our engineer Danny was so professional & friendly. We had our house renovated so carpets were brand new, he came in and wore shoe protectors, he vaccumed all the drilling that he did. Thank you so much Danny for all your hard work and for going above and beyond with your customer service!
WiFi installation
We had our wifi installed today - brilliant service and respectful engineer. Jovan was very friendly, cleaning up after the install and kept us updated with what he was doing. It didn’t take as long as we thought it would to install. You Fibre were recommended to us and we will definitely recommend them to others. Thank you Jovan!
Max B was extremely helpful today 🙂
