Service outages on 150+ days in 14 months - is this normal?

Hi all,

I am really hoping anyone can advise me what to do or has experienced similar issues (though I wouldn't wish this on anyone). I have had fibre with this utterly useless company since September 2023. I have experienced more service outages than I ever imagined to be possible in the last 14 months. Some days it doesn't work for a few minutes, other days its hours (1-14, the sky's the limit with them) and when it's especially bad it can them them days to fix this. Yes, DAYS. They keep sending their stupid update texts saying it is now fixed bla bla bla, but it obviously never is.

At this point I believe it is an area issue that will not get solved anytime soon, if ever. 

I want to leave my contract, which ends end of March 2025 and have sent them a long complaint via email. Got a lovely AI response claiming the issue was fixed. Nope, it was not. Neither did they respond to my request to end this contract by the end of the year nor did they mention my request for compensation. 

I spoke to them on the chat today where all my questions were basically ignored. Getting hold of them on the phone is mission impossible.

Has anyone had similar issues and can tell me how they went about it and what the outcome was? The thought of being with them for another 4 months is unbearable to me. Performing my job from home has become a real challenge and I don't get how they can get away with this. 

Thank you all in advance!

Best, 

Ted

Hello TheNiceBear,

Welcome to the community and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you've been having over the last 14 months that is far from the level of service and experience that any of customers should be having. When you experience the outages, is any information shown on the service status page about your issues?

How are things looking at the moment for you and have you had any further outages since you last posted?

Kind Regards,
