ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL COMPANY - STEER CLEAR!!!!!
These scammers phoned my 84 year old father who suffers with dementia and is registered with tps so should never have been called in the first place, the contract was cancelled and now he is being sent letters threatening court action to recover money they claim is owed to them. The stress caused to my father after reading these letters has been awful.
I've sent numerous emails and thought this had been sorted and still it goes on.
Truly awful company
these people are the most disgusting people I have ever dealt with
after reading other reviews on this website I see this is how obviously they do business

Pretty hopeless on all accounts as far as broadband provider goes. An intermittent service, no ability to talk to anybody apart from over live chat. When you do eventually get through on live chat they don't seem to be able to fix the problem, or just deny there is a problem. The router they provide as part of the service seems pretty hopeless too. All in all avoid like the plague!

Shocking and Diabolic. I can't believe a company like this is allowed to operate. I run a business and had no phone or broadband for over 8 days. Customer service is disgusting and have still heard nothing after complaining 2 months ago. Avoid at all costs!!

Without internet for weeks. Then charged £10 more than the price, 2 weeks early, after being told I had a month free for the loss of service. Doesn't connect to all devices e.g. ring doorbell/smart lights. No responses by email. Call center is only open during working hours. Live chat function offline during opening hours. When online, no agent is available. Rubbish service, worst connection ever.

Thankfully cancelled prior to connection, ascending prices, no mention of the McAfee and other add ons. Despite insisting I cancel still kept getting progress emails etc then a router turned turned up. Told them to return to sender then a long expletive filled email as I was at the end of my tether. Avoid at all costs, the reviews are true!!

Utterly dire service. Like a similar reviewer we switched from sky as service was apparently cheaper yet faster- they mistakenly activated internet at my old address which was a fault they recognised themselves so we promptly got onto customer service who said they'd get it sorted in 14 days. I asked for an email to confirm what was said & they obliged. One month later no email, no internet and neither my partner (NHS employee) or myself can work from home. I should say I have been onto online customer service many times and their recommendations never work. Huge mistake, thoroughly regret trying to save a few pounds. Honestly, avoid them.

Worst experience EVER. Half the download speed tested before they took over, condescending customer service and try to rob you with extras you haven't asked for (Kapersky) that YOU have to cancel. Terrible company

Phoned them to cancel the mcafee security before the free trail ran out. The man on the phone was VERY pushy for me to keep it and wouldn't take no for answer. In the end I said just cancel it, I do not want it and he huffed and puffed and said OK I will put a note on your account. Thought that would be it..........oh no! The money came out of my account making me overdrawn and paying bank fees. Don't think they seem to realise people nowadays are living pay packet to pay packet amd don't have the extra money. Have only been with them 6 weeks and regretting it already. Also couldn't find anything on line to cancel the mcafee otherwise I would of done it that way rather than talking to someone who made me feel bad for not having the extra money to pay for something I don't want.

The fact that the company charge £10 for a late payment, which I've attempted to resolve the same day I received the text notification, is poor form. A fine of this type only serves to punish further customers who are likely already struggling financially, and there are apparently no grounds for appeal. I know this is a typical aggravated customer catchphrase but this, for me, is enough to mean that I'll be leaving Onestream as soon as I'm out of contract, and I'll be spreading reviews to ensure other potential customers know about this slithery policy. This is absolutely not the time or the climate to be issuing fines; people are struggling, and the higher-ups in this company don't have an ounce of humanity between the lot of them, it seems. The shareholders and CEOs might walk past a £10 note in the street but for me and a lot of customers, that's shopping for the week, or public transport for a few days. I'm incredibly disappointed, and quite hurt.

Based on my own experience I cannot recommend doing business with this Company at all. I was fully paid up until midnight on 31 July 2023 at which point my Broadband arrangement with Onestream was due to end.In plenty of time, I had earlier advised Onestream that I would not be wanting any further Broadband from them beyond Monday 31 July 2023 due to an extended trip overseas. Onestream did not like that at all and, in a fit of pique and without any prior notification, they unilaterally decided to cut-off my Broadband connection at the end of Sunday 23 July 2023.Not only did they not reinstate my Broadband connection at any time between 24 July and 31 July 2023, they have also not refunded me for the money that I had previously paid to them for that particular period.Such petulant behaviour on the part of Onestream speaks volumes about the sort of Company they are. In my opinion, not only is their behaviour immoral and unethical, it also illegal to extract full payment from a customer then not provide a full Broadband service for the complete month and also fail to reimburse the Customer for the period in question ie. their behaviour is that of an Organised Crime Gang - this was not an administrative error on their part, it was knowing, deliberate and intentional - they knew exactly what they were doing. It follows that one should think long and hard before entering into any Contract with this Company. Based on my experience and my perception, it seems to me that it is yet another Broadband company which, if it were possible to shake hands with them, you would have to count your fingers afterwards.

New customer and they refuse to help. I barely have internet in any room apart from the one its connected in (and it's a tiny house!) and one room with no connection at all. No help whatsoever was just told I can buy a new router which I will be charged a ridiculous amount for. Haven't even had this internet a month yet. Regret going with them. AVOID!!

Save yourself from misery and choose someone else. They charged me for an extortionate package i never been agreed. I asked for the record of the conservation where i said i said yes but never got an answer. The connection is the slowest and worse i never had. The tech team ask me to run tests and buy extra booster and move the router and all the excuses they have but the connection is still crap, plus if I was an expert i wouldn't ask for help. I am stepping forward and officially complaining with ombudusmam. After that, i will pass to my lawyer. This time I won't let it go, they are so arrogant and unprofessional and extremely bad working practices. Be smart, don't be a fool like me, don't pick onestream.

We went from a working internet line from another company on Wednesday to a non-working one from OneStream on Thursday, and now it’s Monday and still no internet access – it’s not going well!
I had been advised to do the changeover not on Friday but a day earlier, in case there were problems as I couldn’t ring over the weekend to sort out any problems.
Maybe this ought to have given warning bells! No support at the weekend!
Hulya Okudan was great when signing up - really helpful and answered all my questions, including about the bad reviews on this site. I naiively thought all would be ok.
But then I signed up and everything fell apart. One they had the contract, I’m not sure how much they cared.
We were told the internet would be off for a few hours. We still haven't got any internet a 4 days later, causing a lot of disruptions and extra costs as I had to buy data instead. No offer of compensation. That would have eased the blow.
If this wasn't bad enough, we couldn’t contact anyone about it!
Phone calls: Turns out, that we couldn’t call, even on a Thursday or Friday for assistance! They were not taking calls (ok this may be due to the situation but we were in the same situation when I signed up and we weren’t warned about this). They have a mailbox for elderly and vulnerable customers – but the mail box was full. So that shows how much they care about that! It is not hard to re-route numbers to personal phone lines if they wanted but seems that they are not bothered.
Live chat: The phone line, website all said to do this. This has not been working at all even on the 4G we luckily have.
E-mails: No response for hours/days depending. One response from the complaints department was to use the online live chat which we had said in the e-mail that it wasn’t working (!).
When we did finally get a phone call in response to lots of e-mails, the guy who tried to help us was really great. So helpful and friendly. But although he did a lot, there was only so much he could do, and it has been raised to the technical stage which takes a long time. (After a lot of emails we finally found the reason why - it is with an external supplier vodaphone so had to wait for them too)
As with a lot of people, work and food supply is online so this is not great.
It really has caused so much problems already.
Maybe they will start caring about current customers (rather than just potential customers) more in the future, but I would really suggest avoiding if you rely on the internet for anything. This was for the fibre option. I saw all the complaints and wondered if it related to just normal broadband. I saw the complements, and yes the staff we have spoken to have been great, especially on sign up, but the overall service for us once signed up has been appalling. I also noted the comments where OneStream has offered a competition to get free broadband for a 6 months if leaving positive comments. This could explain the positive comments. The warning signs are all there, sigh.
We are within the 14 day cooling off period so I think we are going to change supplier I think. Just for piece of mind in case a fault happens again as their service is so dire. Another company would have sorted this out much quicker, and we would have been able to phone them. Our previous company is not perfect, but was better than these!
The guaranteed speed isn’t all that much better than our previous broadband anyway for the cheap option, so worth considering whether it is worth paying a little more for better speeds and a better company. If you don’t rely on internet if you don’t mind that they do make mess-ups in the payments (as they have done) so you have to keep an eye on that - maybe onestream will be ok for you. I really don't think they are for us!
UPDATE:
We have internet!! Amazing - 4-5 days with nothing and now we have. But!!! It's below (8.25) the minimum guaranteed speed (only 10!) We are paying more for less. Expected is 15-20 they say. Lower your expectations I say.
Have e-mailed to confirm that we will get a refund and can pass to another company without penalty.
UPDATE: It gets worse! On complaint of the low sppeds, was told the minimum speed guaranteed for wired connection only! Not wireless! Where does it say that? #Duped They ignored the question about my refund (!). So I've asked it again. Not expecting much.
A couple of the staff lower down the pecking order were quite good - higher up? Nope. That plus lack of being able to contact them efficiently = low scores all round.

Avoid. Don’t fall for the cheap price. Is horrible try to contact them. No effort to care for the customer, they only care to take your money monthly. They have an “Early termination fee” they don’t establish in their welcome email. You cannot know how much is it so they can put the prices up as much as they want. This is ilegal and they don’t inform the customer. Scammers! Don’t use them!!

Onestream suddenly increased their collection on my direct debit with no notification by email or post. When I tried to call their support line the message says due to Covid they can only provide online support via chat. When I tried to connect on chat there was no response after an hour. When I emailed their billing and support emails there was no response or acknowledgement. I assumed the company must be going bust! Assuming Onestream had probably gone into liquidation I read the very negative reviews on TrustPilot and Broadband.co.uk and thought if I cancelled my direct debit that might persuade Onestream to call me and explain what they were doing. Within a few days my phone line was terminated and broadband stopped working. I called Plusnet and they answered the phone on a Saturday after 5 rings and have now transferred my account, or I thought I had! Although I am out of contract and free to move Onestream have now deleted my number from the registry as one last act of defiance on their part so I am having to so get a new telephone number after 20 years with all the headache that entails. They really are not a very nice company and their service is atrocious so before you consider signing up with Onesteam I suggest you consider the value of having a person answer a support call within a few rings - given how much we rely on the Internet it's worth the peace of mind to pay a little more - except Plusnet is £7 a month cheaper! No, I am not linked to Plusnet in any way I just felt they needed a shout out for saving the day. In these dark times it is a great relief that there are some decent companies out there providing what is an essential service. Goodbye Onestream and good riddance!

Absolutely diabolical, so much wrong it's hard to know where to start. I'm not even sure they have a customer service team as you'll never get them, apart from when you want to leave there use underhand tactics and renew the contract despite saying no. Chat service doesn't work and no response to the service tickets. Appalling.

This is the second time within three months that I am without internet service. On the first occasion, I was without service for four days. Currently I am without any service for four days and counting, with no idea when I’ll be able to reconnect. I have reported the incident as a technical fault on the website but no one has since followed up with me in the form of an update, nor was there an email confirmation of the logged ticket. Quite frankly, a pro-rata rebate does not compensate me for the downtime I experience during a outage.
The Openreach technician checked the line today and confirmed that the issue resided with the router.
If Onestream cannot guarantee a service available 100% of the time, this should be stated as such in the product offering. It would be very useful for me to know when I can expect outages such that I can make adjustments to my schedule accordingly. My over-reliance on internet services is sad but an unavoidable reality of the times we live in.
I must confess that I have never experienced such a poor level of internet service provision as I have with Onestream. Needless to say, the contract will not be renewed at the end of the term as I seek a service provider capable of providing a reliable uninterrupted service, and that offers telephone support at a weekend. Furthermore, how does Onestream expect a customer to speak with an agent via the echat service when their internet is not working?
Very disappointed in Onestream, and in myself for not heeding the warnings on customer review websites prior to committing to a contract with them.

Ever since setting up my account with them they have overcharged me. This month they advised me my direct debit had failed and so I rang up to sort this out. They took a payment from my debit card and also took the direct debit. Contacted them regarding the overcharges and the double payment and they refused to refund. The service isn't even that great - very patchy.

I am utterly disappointed with the services provided by ONESTREAM. Despite my contract with them expiring, they have continued to charge my account, and to my disbelief, they are even adding penalty fees on top of that.
Let me break down this appalling experience. First and foremost, my contract with ONESTREAM was supposed to end on 17-03-2024. As per our agreement, I expected no further charges beyond this date. However, to my dismay, I noticed unauthorized charges on my bank statement well after the contract termination.
When I reached out to their customer service, expecting a quick resolution, I was met with sheer incompetence. The representative I spoke with was unhelpful and seemed completely oblivious to the terms of my contract. They claimed that my account was still active and justified the continued billing. Moreover, they had the audacity to inform me about additional penalty charges for late payment, despite me having no knowledge of any outstanding dues.
Not only is this level of overcharging and mismanagement unacceptable, but the customer service experience was abysmal. It's evident that ONESTREAM lacks transparency and integrity in their billing practices. This ordeal has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I am actively warning others to steer clear of this dishonest provider.
In summary, avoid ONESTREAM at all costs. They have demonstrated a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction and ethical business conduct. I am now in the process of disputing these unjust charges and will be exploring alternative service providers who value honesty and accountability.
Save yourself the frustration and financial headache—look elsewhere for your service needs. ONESTREAM is an epitome of everything that is wrong with corporate greed and customer exploitation.

Worst broadband company. Please stay away from them. I ring them everyday to ask them to sort out my internet issues and it never gets resolved. Problems since day one. I have given them 1 month notice, now they have totally turned my internet off. I cannot even use it.

Completely unreliable internet from Onestream. I purchased ultra fast fibre deal which went live on 15/01/2021 but it’s not working at all with Zoom or Teams on which I do majority of my work. I have to use my 3 mobile hotspot instead. I did troubleshooting in vain.
I called and emailed Onestream several times and no response. I asked to cancel but nothing, and the fee still gets deducted. Will contact my bank now to block further payment.

Called 6th July to give them 30 days notice as my current contract was coming to an end. Was told I had to phone and it would not be accepted on live chat as it could be anyone. Woke up the next day and they had cut me off. Dead phone line. When I asked them why they had done that they said it was a mistake their end and they got the end dates wrong. Still have no broadband and working from home and paid until 5th August in advance. They're not bothered. Been with them for 18 months and that's how they treat their customers. You have been warned.

Avoid avoid avoid! Been passed from pilar to post. Spoke to nearly all the staff at the customer services department and none could come up with a reason why they haven’t been connected the internet in over a month. They still had the cheek to charge me even though I was promised I wouldn’t have to pay. Even now I’m sitting here without any internet a months and a half later. Worst company ever. I’ve cancelled my contract and gone elsewhere. Complete waste of time.
