Good job Guys!

Fantastic response from the team at Pine Media.
Requested an upgrade of my contract speeds and this was dealt with promptly and efficiently.
All correspondence were clear and friendly.
Can’t fault the team, especially Steve.
Good job guys. 👍

Be careful

Wasn't told about a £30 charge for BT Openreach to activate an already installed box, very disappointed to be ripped off

👋 Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed. Just to clarify, the £30 charge you’re referring to is an activation fee, which is set by the ordered plan and applies even where equipment is already installed. This isn’t something we add on later or hide.

All activation fees are clearly shown on our website for each plan and are also presented again at checkout before an order is submitted, so customers can see the full cost upfront before committing. We don’t charge for the installation itself – if a property can receive our service, the install is completely free.

That said, we appreciate that these industry fees can still feel frustrating, and we’re always happy to talk through any charges before or after an order is placed. If you’d like us to look into this with you directly, please get in touch and we’ll be glad to help.

Service has gone down hill

We have been on pine media for many years, and recently decided to upgrade to faster internet. Since then we've have endless problems - initially the internet was installed but we couldn't connect to it and we had issues setting up the account for the eero box, then we were being billed twice both for our old internet and the new upgraded internet.
Now we have no access at all to the internet and from our account it appears rather than cancelling the old broadband, they've now also cancelled the new...

Trying to resolve the issues is difficult - at the weekend you can not speak to them via the phoneline and have to go through a chat AI box who sends you in circles (advises you to use the phoneline, which then directs you back to the chat box..). We always get the same response that they will connect us to the out of hours team and their usual reply time is under 30 minutes, however it never is and normally takes a few hours.

Previously we would have recommended pine media to everyone, but our recent issues has made us consider moving to a new provider and would no recommend this service.

Reply from Pine Media Broadband

We’re really sorry to read this and understand how frustrating this experience has been, especially after being with us for many years.

Firstly, regarding the current loss of service: there is a power cut affecting equipment in a local hub that serves your property. This is impacting multiple customers in the area, and our engineers are actively working to restore services as quickly as possible. We appreciate how disruptive this is and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We also take your feedback seriously regarding weekend support and response times. While we do provide out-of-hours cover, we recognise that delays and circular contact routes are frustrating, and we are actively reviewing this to improve the experience.

We’d really like the opportunity to properly review your account, clarify what’s happened, and put things right. Please contact us directly via support@pinemedia.net or send us a private message with your account details so a member of the team can take ownership of this for you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback - it genuinely helps us improve, and we’re sorry your recent experience has led you to feel this way.

Kind regards,
The Pine Media Team

Had no internet after storm and snow

Had no internet after storm and snow. I contacted and asked for help. Swift response and I was very quickly reconnected. This is a great improvement on how issues were poorly handled with my former provider.

Easily the best provider

This is by far the bes providee I have used. Steve, in particular, has been spot on with advice and set up haa been hassle free. My favourite aspect is that this is a relatively small company that outperforming the big corporations. You can email or talk to a real person directly rather tjan wait for hours on end dealing with a bot or outsourced call centre. Most refreshing!

Steve was amazing

Steve was super friendly in all his emails. He replied very quickly and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Great communication and excellent service throughout! The technician who came to my apartment did a fantastic job fixing my WiFi connection. He made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Great service and very reliable—highly recommended!

Great customer experience from Pine Media

I've been with Pine Media for a couple of years and have been very pleased with the cost, reliablity and customer service throughout my full fibre broadband contract. My contract was up for renewal but I couldn't see from the website how to renew so I contacted Customer Support. It was a very good experince as I got through quickly and easily to a 'real' agent - and a bonus for me that Pine is a local Sheffield based business.

5 star

The help I got with installation in a new house during a tricky time of year was fantastic (thank you to Steve in particular).

During the installation process I was kept well informed of expected delivery dates and next steps.

My service has only been running for a short time but speeds are as expected—very fast.

Can recommend.

Such a great local company

Such a great local company. Been with pine media for a year now, great Wi-Fi service and brilliant customer support when it’s needed. So much better than a large, faceless company, makes such a difference being able to chat to a friendly, local person on the phone with questions/issues.
Big thankyou to Steve who quickly sorted the mess I made of tinkering with my Eero settings today. Fully expected it to take hours to get through to someone, but within 5 mins I had Steve sorting it.
Thoroughly recommend.

I would give 10 star review but unfortunately it only goes up to 5.
Extremely helpful, efficient, all problems were fixed and any equipment replaced and sorted out same day or next day. The internet speeds are 10x what I was getting before and I'm paying less! so happy to have switched, and kudos to Steve with his lord of the rings memes, you're invited to my 111th birthday!
