Hassle free order and install

Ordering was very straightforward. Installation was quick and profesionally done, and the speeds are as advertised.

Fast install, great experience overall

Ordered at Midnight and by 8.30am the next morning the CityFibre engineers were doing the pre-survey. Router arrived in plenty of time in advance of the installation date which was one week later, which went smoothly. Couple of support queries I've had were answered quickly - no queuing - spoke to someone knowledgeable quickly. Great experience so far! I would recommend!

I would have given you five stars but for the fact that you charged me for posting out the router. First time I’ve been charged for the privilege of plugging in a router.

Jay has been fantastic

Jay has been fantastic. An asset to the company. He sorted out my slow speed issue quickly by using his vast knowledge of the network. As a senior Openreach manager, I would love to have someone like Jay in my team with the knowledge and customer service skills he has displayed. He also checked in tomake sure everything was working fine. Great personal touch. Well done Jay and thank you

Appalling customer service

It's buffering and when I tried calling 5 times nobody answered. I got an email asking what was wrong and I sent one back asking them to ring but the didn't. Then there was a major outage. Only just got it in last week. Not a great start!

The number you show here is an answerphone and nobody calls back!

My name and number is on the Answer phone!

i was told that an engineer would be sent out to set up the router. i assume someone at brawband figured out that i already had a fiber box installed, but i wasn't updated with any information if someone was still coming to my address or not. the engineer did not turn up, but thankfully i was able to install the router myself but just a disappointing first impression.

Installation was great but one down side.

Installation was great , bang on time , quick , and mess free. Download and upload speeds are as promised and consistent . Only down side , despite several attempts, I can't connect to wifi on my laptops via my new router , they even sent me another new router , but I have the same problem with both , I've tried everything and so have they , so having to stay wired for now which is not ideal going forward.

Installation was excellent was signed up for 24 month contract which just found out expires last year wasn’t notified and doing some checking I find I am paying more for 500 speed than the 900. So find this a little bit of rip off knowing I have been paying more for less. Don’t know for how long.

Great, smooth service! The way wifi should be!

Great service! Really smooth process and when I needed advice before setting my appointment up, I was able to phone in and talk to an actual human. Glad I could finally leave the evil red maiden, cut my bill in half and get even better speeds. You have a great thing going on right now Brawband, providing excellent speeds at reasonable prices to people all over Scotland. Please don't ever become a greedy evil empire like the rest! Customers that show loyalty should be rewarded, not scalped. Thanks!

Don't get stuck thinking Virgin is the fastest anymore

The engineer was very helpful and explained everything we needed to know. Really straightforward switch over. We had a crossover with Virgin Fibre because we didn't want to be without a connection. My son did a test and the connection was 100% faster than Virgin. If anyone is hesitating because they have gaming kids and need high speed Internet I'd advise to just go for it. The Virgin monopoly of poor customer service, and bottlenecked fibre speed broadband is over. And it's a lot cheaper as well. No regrets. And it's a Scottish company so I know it's good.

Slight problem on the first day of installation, however, a slight resiting of the modem rectified the problem and for a week now has worked faultlessly. Every step was as agreed and the whole process was seem less. Highly recommended…

Broadband Ok, Service non existent

No real issues with broadband, albeit much slower than promised (between 160 and 260 on a 900 connection).

Problems with billing though, constant emails setting up and cancelling direct debits and then double the amount due being debited from my account - can’t login to website, password reset not working, and no one answers the phone…

Hi Oliver, thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. We're sorry to hear you haven't been satisfied with your BrawBand experience so far, and would like the opportunity to make things right.

Our up-to-900Mbps packages have a guaranteed minimum speed of 450Mbps, so we're sorry you're not experiencing this - and that you've had trouble reaching our support team. This isn't the high standard of service we usually provide.

I understand you've been having issues getting through to our team on 0808 294 444 on this occasion. You can also try emailing help@brawband.co.uk or our new live support chat feature at https://brawband.co.uk/#help

We look forward to the opportunity to work to find a positive resolution for you.
