- onetel broadband - any comments?
- Posted by Peter Hall on December 8th, 2004
I am moving from BT Broadband and considering onetel's broadband offering.
Bandwidth is no big issue for me, just reliability and support.
Any opinions on them? I use their landline services and they're fine.

Dunno about the broadband at all, but I used to use their phones services,
and they kept billing me wrong, then making some exceses, untill I got fed
up and cancelled. Even that took some effort, adn to date I still get their
e-mails saying my online bill is ready to view! I haven;t been with them for
like 5 years! My collegue at work had exactly the same problems.
I can;t remembr all the details, but I know that at the time they enraged me
so much, that I swore to myself I will NEVER user their services again.
Of course there is always a chance they got better in 5 yrs, I personally
wouldn;t risk, but by all means read their users reviews on adslguide.com
site

site does NOT look too promissing at all!)

They just cant get my name right on my bill , its always wrong .
i have tried to get it corrected but its hopeless .
WORST OF ALL THEIR SUPPORT IS IN INDIA !AND TRYING TO GET AN INDIAN
BLOKE TO CORRECT MY NAME SPELLING IS HOPELESS
THEY USE INDIAN OUTSOURCING ,SO I WOULD NOT ADVISE USING THEM FOR BB.

I use their phone service and dial-up (now only as a backup).
Their customers service has seriously deteriorated when they were taken over
by Centrica (I am a shareholder !).
The email servers are bit temperamental at times.
Their Usenet was pretty useless, I don't use it now, but it probably still
is.
The price isn't competitive either.
I have had PlusNet BB since May03, not missed a bit yet, except 2 hrs when I
upgraded to 1Mb/s at even cheaper price.
If you are happy with 1Gb a month then 1Mb/s at £14.99 is unbeatable. If you
go over, you simply pay another £2 for another 1Gb.
Should you decide to go with PlusNet please use my 'jerryw' id as a
referrer, it will save me 25p.
Regards,
Martin
