Onestream Broadband: The Cheapest Fibre in 2022?

Onestream Broadband are an independent broadband provider that specialises in affordable broadband packages across the UK. But does cheap mean you need to compromise on quality or are the Onestream Broadband reviews good enough to consider switching? Find out by reading our Onestream Broadband provider guide.

Who Are Onestream Broadband?

Launched in 2018, Onestream Broadband is part of Onecom - an independent specialist broadband provider based out of Hampshire. Offering simple and easy to understand broadband packages, Onestream Broadband might be one of the cheapest broadband providers on the market.

Onestream Broadband currently offers FTTC broadband which means that it doesn’t have super-fast broadband that some providers have already started offering and its speeds are limited to 80 Mbps. Whilst this shouldn’t be a problem for most households, some customers with large families, or students sharing broadband, might want to look for faster broadband elsewhere.

What Network Does Onestream Use? Like many other broadband providers, Onestream Broadband uses the BT Openreach network to provide broadband to its customers. This means that this provider is able to offer broadband packages to almost every home in the UK, except Hull as this region has its own infrastructure provided by KCOM.

Onestream Broadband Review

Despite only being around for five years, Onestream Broadband has racked-up some excellent reviews. When we took a look at the Onestream Trustpilot page, we found that the provider has an ‘Great’ Trustpilot rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars from 6,508 reviews. This might persuade you to switch your broadband provider to Onestream Broadband, but make sure you read all Onstream Broadband Reviews before making a final decision.

 Positive Onestream Broadband Reviews

Most customers who leave a Onestream Broadband review seem to be satisfied with the provider, in particular they noted that even when they have had problems, Onestream customer service has been exceptionally helpful. In other cases, customers have been happy with Onestream Live Chat which is easy to use.

Spoke with molly who was excellent sorted everything I asked swiftly , very professional great service molly thanks

Chloe W is a great help to the team doing her job and the cancellation departments job as well. Unfortunately she would not have had anything to do if the cancellation team had seen fit to bring my contract to an end in a timely manner you would think that having had a months notice they might have demonstrated a glimmer of activity perhaps even attempted to keep me as a happy customer

I used the live chat as I unfortunately need to cancel my service. I spoke with the very professional and yet still friendly Tom H, who walked me through the next steps and has processed everything on my behalf. He answered all of questions quickly and concisely. I truly will be sad to leave Onestream, I have never had an issue with the live chat, everyone has always been incredbily helpful. Thank you for everything guys!

Easy to speak to someone that is obviously human without the ordeal of typing in or login in to speak to someone - chat function that is easy to use ... how refreshing!!

 Negative Onestream Broadband Reviews

18% of customers left a negative Onstream Broadband review on Trustpilot, the nexus of these reviews appears to be from customers complaining about being signed up to Kaspersky Internet Security without their consent, as well as being levied with additional, unexpected, charges on their bills.

Onestream Broadband does respond to these complaints and states customers are informed of these add-ons and charges when they sign up. However, when you are obligated to accept a free trial and cancel later - this could easily be overlooked or forgotten by many customers.

Awful customer service. No internet for approximately 6-7 weeks, decided to leave to go to Sky. As soon as I was leaving, received a phone call from Blake in the sales department promising to match the price & provide new internet. 2 weeks on from this - still no internet. Left again to go to Sky but unfortunately Onestream are making it increasingly difficult for the line to be transferred over. Appalling customer service, difficult company to contact, always on hold for over an hour and in the online chat the most advice is to ring the generic number. Poor communication and I would not recommend using this broadband provider to anyone.

KASPERSKY & ONESTREAM SCAM
when switching or joining OneStream you will be charged £30 EXTRA without your consent by the end of the first month. BEWARE One Stream SCAM! I realised the extra charge to another card (not the one I have my direct debit (HONESTLY THIS IS SO SNEAKY), called them to complain and they said I had chosen that when joining - WHICH IS A LIE! I've confirmed it is a lie. I eventually got the refund but had to build enough evidence that to prove they were incorrect first, before hand they were very confidently saying I was not eligible for a refund. THIEVES!

ABSOLUTE THIEVES!
They subscribed me on a Kaspersky service I never asked for and charged me £29.99! The people are thieves! And when I asked why they told me I should have unsubscribed! As if I knew what they did! From now on I will subscribe every employee of Onestream to myservice and bill them and tell them tough luck. You thieves! I reported you as well to kaspersky as I doubt they know how you get customers and gave them as well a negative review. Thieves!

They have taken 29.99 from my account for Kaspersky without knowledge and wouldn't refund this charge. Said it was a trial in my welcome email. And if not cancelled get charged. Can't see this in the 'Welcome email' be careful you don't fall for this

Onestream Fibre 55 Review

The majority of customers who left a Onestream Fibre 55 review pointed out that they were happy with the overall speed and quality of Onestream Fibre 55, though some Onestream reviews for this service have mentioned that they didn’t receive the promised minimum speed.

Molly was very helpful today. She dealt with my query very quickly. So far, I’m glad I made the switch to Onestream from EE. My broadband is definitely faster since I changed to Onestream Fibre 55. My first bill has arrived and it looks correct apart from two add-ons that shouldn’t be on the account.

Onestream Fibre 80 Review

Customers who gave a Onestream Fibre 80 review seemed disappointed that they were not receiving the speeds they had been promised when they signed up to Onestream Broadband. However, the slow speed seems to be the only issue facing customers giving a Onestream Fibre 80 review.

Chloe W was very helpful with resolving my issues. Wether the internet speed is close to that advertised we are yet to see, currently get 10-12mbps out of the 80 promised. Wish I had paid £1 / month more for Vodafone.

How Good Is Onestream Broadband? On the whole, it seems that Onestream Broadband is a good provider. Onestream reviews look promising and most customers receive what they’re promised. Those customers who have had a negative experience should not be dismissed however and we recommend doing thorough research to compare broadband providers to make sure you choose the right one for your home.
