    Dont ever use this company!!!! They are terrible! They made me pay for a new instaltion when the previous tentant alreay had a phone line with them and there was only two weeks between him moving out and me in. They never ring you back when they say they are going to. I mean never even when you ask for confirmation that they will. Their customer service is extremely poor it is shocking. I will stick with BT from now on they have so much better customer service

    This appears to be a well run ISP. Staff are friendly, you know who you are talking to, you can get someones direct dial extension and their personal e-mail. You do not often have to leave a message asking for a call back, but on the very few occasions when I have had to, someone has always phoned back promptly. When I origianlly moved my ADSL service to The Phone Co-op I had DNS problems, which they sorted out OK. They even apologised for only being able to advise on my Windows machine and not ...

    Phone Coop's ethical principles are apparent in its honest pricing as well as environmentally sound operating practices. I have found its service reliable with speeds normally around 6MB. I have been in contact with its customer services only to sign up for and then extend services - I have never had any faults or problems to report. I regard the Phone Coop as good value compared to big providers with lower upfront prices (that in any case double after a few months) but dismal standards of rel ...

    I found The Phone Co-op to have a very poor technical support. Not open on Saturday afternoons or Sundays. In my experience there was no way of talking directly to technicians, after waiting in a queue for 15 minutes all they did was take a message and get someone to call you back at an unspecified time when you are invariably not there.

    If you want reliable connections and it is important to have faults rectified quickly, in my experience forget it.

    Generally I'm happy with the service. I had an old Speedtouch router which never worked but as soon as I changed for a Netgear I was online and (touch wood) everything has been fine ever since. I got my last bill and extra charges amounted to about £3 worth of international calls which is a much better deal overall than i had with BT. Phone Co-op is about £30/month all told, my BT bill was closer to £50/month/

    The Phone Co-op are, I think, simply too small an organisation to be an effective ISP: they do not have the resources to deal with technical problems - and, despite the far-from-bargain prices, they claim not to have the financial resources to provide adequate technical support. While I'm a supporter of co-operatives in principle, I would very strongly advise anybody against considering using the Phone Co-op's internet service. I have had (due to my own inertia!) three years of unreliable serv ...
