I just tried to cancel while being on their "montly contracts". They are charging 15£ for a "cease fee" and 23£ for a notice period... They are monthly contracts are a scam.

We're sorry to hear that you're not happy with these two things.

Cease fees are very much the norm and these are fees we pass on at cost and make nothing from them.

A monthly term simply means you are not committing to the service for a long term usually in reward for a lower monthly cost but in either case, you have to give notice to end the service applicable to what was ordered.

We are very upfront about both of these points during the ordering process where they are clearly explained before you enter any of your details.

I moved to the UK and wasn't sure which ISP to go with, but saw that Uno was ranked highly on lists. It appears that is justified, indeed! The service has been fantastic so far, with no interruptions (that I've been aware of) in the time that I've been a customer.

The speeds I get are as advertised, and I was satisfied with their range of package options. I also liked the fact that a monthly subscription option was available (noticed a lot of providers had only 12-month contracts) so there is some flexibility there. They don't have branded routers, rather have a selection of recommended ones on their site, so it was nice to be able to choose a router that fit my needs. I prefer this, as I can be sure there will be nothing fishy happening on the router side.

Finally, the customer service has been excellent. They are really quick to respond, and the staff is very knowledgeable. They were able to answer any questions I had, and arranged to have service connected within only a day or two.

Highly recommend this ISP!

Jumped on the fttp train as soon as openreach pulled their finger out.

Went from 5Mb adsl to the full juice fibre service. Uno were excellent in dealing with the order, getting the new service in despite the wait from the delays openreach have now, speeds consistent and not dropped a beat.

I've used Uno for over 5 years now and the service has not skipped a beat in that time. Utterly reliable even through crappy BT copper.

I find myself now stuck with a different provider of FTTB services after a home move and from the off, they don't give you your own IP and all support is off-shore.

These are small things that make all the difference and Uno gave me a real IP and even a routed IP block for my own network and all their team were people in the UK.

As soon as openreach appear in my street, I am coming back, tail in between my legs and will learn to research options with more detail in the future as wrongly assumed openreach had a good service everywhere in central london.

I'll start this off by saying that I've been with Uno ever since their broadband segment was known as Xilo back in the day. It's been a long, long time!

I've only had issues twice during my entire subscription to their broadband service. Both of those issues were when I was nightowling a few days for work and OpenReach performed maintenance during the early hours of the morning. To be expected.

Both of those issues were reported and the team came back to me within minutes of submitting that ticket.

I recently upgraded to FTTP. This went ahead flawlessly, and I was connected on that very same day. I didn't notice any outage - I have the hardware to support a failover line, and my VDSL line was still active. I ceased that a month later without issue.

Just upgraded to 1000/115 which completed overnight. Ran a quick speedtest in the morning and it turns out they're overdelivering!

I'd recommend this ISP to anyone in a heartbeat, though the price does take some stomaching. You pay for the speed of the support and the quality of the line, and it shows.

TL;DR: Uno is a great, rapid, UK-based ISP with people I now know by name running support and NOC work. I won't mention them here, but if you do read this - Thank you for all the work you've done to help me!

I'd recommend this company to absolutely anyone. Thanks guys!

Uno is a superb ISP which I can wholeheartedly recommend, even though there are a couple of things I think could be improved.

First the negative...
Passing on of cease charges to customers migrating away.
Yes I know they tell you this upfront, but still, I've been with around 15 ISP's and Uno is the only ISP I've been with that have passed on this charge to the customer.

Secondly, the number only checker on their website. Without an address checker, how are potential customers meant to check prices, connection method and estimated speeds if they don't have a BT landline.

Want FTTP but don't have a landline - you have to contact them.
Have a Virgin TalkTalk or Sky number and want Uno ADSL/VDSL? Checker just says "We're currently not able to offer you any services" This has actually put off friends and family from joining them after my recommendation.
Need a new landline installing? Who knows.

The good...
Speed, great, line speed all day everyday. Not even a hint of congestion.
Latency, as low as can be expected for location and VDSL
Reliability, great, maybe 1 or 2 small outages a year.
Internet completely unfiltered.
Work VPN works flawlessly.
Support, phones always answered promptly, professionally and by very knowledgeable people, they really know their stuff.
Outside of office hours, I've often had tickets responded to within an hour or so.

Wading through the growing list of internet providers offering FttP, I found Uno a breath of fresh air.

Pre sales answered all my questions and offered help with some questions about wifi not strictly about the service they offer.

Post order, there were some problems caused by OpenReach and a blocked pipe to my house. I was kept informed regularly and didn't have to worry about the problem being proactively managed by them.

Post install, speeds are exactly as ordered. My EERO wireless tests this every day and I have yet to see this drop and more than 1-2Mb from the product rate.

Entirely recommend Uno to all as it has been one easy and stress free transition

We joined Uno when moving to a new house in August. The house previously used Virgin, so didn't actually have a phone line. Cue lots of angst while OpenReach messed up the connection twice. *However*, Uno's tech support was brilliant. Phone answers within a few seconds, helpful advice (including skim-reading the manual for my router to help me diagnose whether I was seeing a sync signal) and general friendliness.

Speed tests show a few percent over what I'm paying for and a ~30ms ping.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new ISP.

Many times there was a complete loss of signal, I had to submit a ticket, wait for someone to pick it up, ask me additional unnecessary questions, only to find out a day or two later OpenReach planned maintenance for that night and morning. It was irritating watching status page on Uno saying there are no issues and connection is fine while you have no connection at all, apparently as expected.
Uno always told me there is simply no way for me to find out when those maintenance windows were planned for.
After switching to another provider with a lower rate, I know it was not true. I can now see upcoming outages and past incidents recorded by OpenReach (even those I did not notice). Not a useless "always OK" status.
I don't use a landline, only broadband. Apparently, Uno could not possibly check the signal on their end (I paid for their phone line, btw). I had to buy a phone just so Uno can rule out problems with the phone line they provided.
My current ISP was surprised this was ever a problem to check for Uno.
Of course they charged this nasty disconnection fee. Plus since I submitted cancellation request to wrong dept, they also charged for extra few days.

We're sorry if you feel the questions are "unnecessary". We have to ensure that we gather information for a reported issue and if we are asking such questions, it means that not all the information has been provided on the initial form. Unfortunately, some information entered is either incorrect or the fault type selected could be mismatched to what is being stated; these are things we have to check.

Much of what you've claimed however is incorrect in regard to Openreach works and line checks we can and do run on faults.

Openreach do routine cabinet reboots/software upgrades and these are not always notified to us on an exchange or cabinet level. This is not unique to us in any way. Genuine outages however are recorded and published when service affecting.

We can, of course, run a line check and this is one of the standard things we do when a report is received. However, as you do have a line, if the Openreach line check is clear (returns no detected fault) and based on the issue you are reporting, checking for a clear dial tone amongst other things are standard diagnostic checks.

If you've requested to cease your service which it sounds like you have, a cease fee, charged by Openreach, is passed on at cost. Unfortunately, if you've not followed the steps within your portal, this delays your cease request but could have been avoided by doing this on the first instance
