Excellent customer service and reliable speeds. UK Online did not dissappoint me though I had to pay for their router which is indeed good. Their professional service worth your money and I can recommend UK Online broadband to any of my friends.

I switched to UK Online a year ago and I chose Premier package as I require high speed broadband services with unlimited downloads. Their netgear wireless router works well and I have not had any problems since the first day. Customer support is impeccable.

I get speeds up to 12 Mbps with UK Online ADSL 2+ package. Excellent service and I did not have a problem since the first day. Their Netgear wireless router gives matchless performance. I would recommend UK online to anyone.

I did not know any broadband jargon when I signed up with UK Online. Their customer support is really good so I did not have a feel of it. Everything goes fine with my connection so I will highly recommend UK Online.

Absolutely fantastic service! Their UK based customer support is really helpful. They dont provide free wireless router, however, it is a reliable service so you can go for it.

UK Online customer support is exttremely good. I signed up to their premium package last year. Excellent service and reliable speeds. Only thing I had to pay for the netgear router which provides excellent wireless networking. I would recommend UK Online to anyone without hesitation.

Excellent provider. Broadband connection rock solid. If you are looking for the Rolls Royce of ISPs this is it. If you are looking for additional services look elsewhere. Not the cheapest but for quality of connection and service excellent.

Well, nothing to say anything good about the UK online. Client communication is too poor. Reluctant to speak to the technical support executives as there was no response except the apologies from them. Better opt anything except this!

I took a 1MB connection from UK Online. The starting itself was a problem. Got the modem only after 50 days of applying for it. They charged service charges for 2 months, though I was not using their service at all! Now, the speed is only 95kb, when compared to the 1MB that I have subscribed for! Not happy with them at all.

I recently took this connection, and so far I have no problem with it. The speed is also satisfactory and the download speed is also good. Never needed to contact the customer service, so do not know how the team responds to queries and complaints!

Pros: Customer service is quite good and the queries are attended to and passed to the technical division quite fast. Cons: The accent is a bit difficult to understand; probably they have their customer service somewhere in the Irish areas. Also the technical service section needs more trained people. I have logged my complaint of not being able to make foreign calls, 2 weeks back, still no proper solution to it.
