Post Office broadband
GENIE SAYS
Post Office broadband is here! The Post Office is boasting that simplicity and dependability is the difference between their 8Mb connection and other offerings on the market.
The service is not the cheapest available, but the company seems to be offering peace of mind. It will also give you a discount on your broadband if you opt for a Post Office telephone line as well.

Well, i've just ordered broadband from the post office for my grandad. It's an extra £15.00 a month on top of the standard post office line rental for the "unlimited" 8 meg service with a wireless router.... More details to follow when the router turns up and the line is activated. !! :)

really pleased. post office homephone broadband at £21.95 per month - I'm getting free evening and weekend calls and line rental included in charges – no extra charges. so much better than BT phone plus pipex charges!!

I have had Post Office line rental with Broadband for just over three months now. As is expected, there have been one or two initial problems, but I have always found their help line easy to use with calls being returned as promised when appropriate. I did have a bad experience with Talk-Talk a couple of years ago following which I decided not to bother again with Broadband. However, I am glad I went to Post Office as although a little slow at times it is adequate for my needs and their charges are very competative.

Got my postoffice broadband connected on the 28th, set up was relatively plug and play easy....but....speed is abysmal...tried the BT broadband speed check..68.2 kbs download and 86.6 upload...thats dial up speed...never known uploads to be faster downloads either..phoned the PO customer support...did the basic checks again..and was told it couldnt be classed as a fault untill the ten days settling period! If i try and watch a short video clip it plays pauses plays pauses just like dial up...i regret leaving tiscal now i was getting to meg from them!

One week in and no complaints. Having been told that I could expect a download speed of between 1 and 2Mb/s, Post Office said the speed would vary in the first few days as it was "fine tuned". Well, I now frequently get around 3.7Mb from my initial 1.9Mb with an upload speed of 365kb/s. (1.6 miles to my exchange.) The Netgear modem runs rather hot though!

Having read many reviews of Post Office Broadband, many being not very complimentary, I signed up with some trepidation as I am a computer novice. I applied for Broadband Standard and Home Phone on 26th April and was given a 'Go Live' date of 13th May. I received the modem (Netgear DM111PSP) on 9th May. On 12th May ( a day early) I was told I was ready to go and at 6:15pm I connected the modem and followed the instructions. 5 minutes later I was on-line. A speed check in the evening (busy time) indicated a download speed of 1.9Mb/s - brilliant for my area. Go with the Post Office - it does what it says on the tin!

Originally offered connection on 28.02.08 - it finally happened on 18.03.08. after HOURS and HOURS of telephone conversations and being directed through switchboards of sales people. Asked for rebate on telephone charges on 0845 which was agreed. Eventually made contact with an informed adviser who seems to have come up with solutions - mostly of BT problems. My existing e-mail was disconnected long befor the 28th, however, which was unacceptable. The comments from other users would be more justified if the writers were using accurate written English and could spell when critising spelling from others !!

Before signing on to the Post Office broadband make sure your computer has at least the following tech spec! If it does then the service is exceptional Your computer must have at least: Pentium II 200 Mhz (or equivalent) or better 128 MB RAM CD-ROM drive ethernet port 150 MB available on your hard drive The Post Office® Broadband router supports Windows 98SE Windows 2000 Windows Me Windows XP Windows Vista To see what your PC has, click the ‘start’ button in the bottom left hand corner of your screen, right-click on ‘My Computer’ and select ‘Properties’. The information you need should be in the bottom right hand corner of the window that pops up. Hope this is off some help! Post Office Broadband team

VERY dissapointing customer service, didnt work when it was supposed to, needed to get a 2nd MAC code, that cost me a further month with my previous ISP. modem didnt arrive, then 2 came ! Their agents will tell you anything to close the call, really nice people but they dont know what they are talking about and much is not as it should be.. Advert promises a security package, none was sent.Cant get logged into e mail.. as "password is incorrect", new password provided but that doesnt work either. Its a real mess.. broadband does now work, but the grief is endless. AND everytime you ring their number YOU pay for the call.. I saw all these bad reviews and said I don't believe it.. I believe it now.. Its a shame because it could be really good if they sorted out their customer service and many technical issues.

Well, This is the worst servie I've ever had. So many mistakes by the company - wrong delivery address, incorrect e-mail address given to me which i still can't get into, the list is endless - what a complete nightmare. Haven't received any information or confirmation about anything in the post, having rang up on so many occassions requesting this! - like it is such a difficult thing to do ! Call centre staff aren't helpful, kept being passed on and putting on hold for ages. they don't seem to know what they are doing or talking about. Have spent endless hours on the phone trying to sort things out. Finally have broadband, which is working well, but the actual service is not that good. Would recommend the broadband itself, but dealing with the company is a total nightmare. I'm still awaiting details through the post a month on. Will Not be renewing with post office in future - would rather pay a little extra and get better service elsewhere.

Great speeds and solid connection, but the rest is hopeless. Like others have reported, they can't seem to cope with such advanced concepts as e-mail or webspace. Half of incoming emails disappear (I am working from my domain both to PO and to Gmail, so I can monitor), I cannot send through their SMTP servers after 2 weeks, and my webspace still doesn't work, despite repeated calls. Customer services are always there, but not always useful! So if you don't use email and don't want webspace, use this, otherwise, avoid like the plague!

Don't even go there. Post Office have lost so many of my emails that I'm having to use another account just for recieving emails. The helpline is expensive and the staff are badly informed.Customer services are awful. However, have found the internet speeds good.

I have had p/office broadband installed now for a couple of weeks,and to date have had no problems at all.The wireless router installed itself on my go-live date+everything is working fine.I get speeds of between 6-8mb although i do live only 400mtrs from the exchange. The service that many people on here are/have been experiencing worried me a bit,but i for one have been very happy with them.

Started well !! Already a PO phone subscriber & this service has proved fine. As I was fed up with Freedom [Virgin] & the service was closing I foolishly decided to extend my PO services despite knowing that BT were the PO's service provider !! Welcome pack arrived ahead of go live & on the day. The BB worked from the outset but speed is very varied . Email would'nt work so several calls etc later eventually told that the inbox on the crap MPO webmail account had to have an input mail to 'initialise it' !!!!!! Come on BT never heard of sending one yourself to WELCOME your new client. Waste of space but thanks to the PO lad who sent me a mail & my mail then started arriving in OE. After a half day it stopped again. Approx 5 days later & after calling/mailing them [via Hotmail] this apparently 'long term' common issue got fixed. This lasted for 2+ weeks & suddenly the inmail stopped again so several calls/mails later I am back in the same position - partial service only

The Post Office have a serious problem with their server and potential customers should not sign up until they are sure this is fixed. I have spoken to four technical support staff over the last month who were very polite & helpful ( I did not have the problems getting through to this sevice that others have noted) After one month (the time span due to my lack of time to persue the problem) I have now had connection for 10 days but today cannot send & have lost messages as page closed. On phoneing technical support I was informed by a polite but demotivated staff member that server problems continue and they cannot say when they will be fixed, he suggested I use google e-mail which he advised is very reliable!

I set up the Post Office deal for my friend. After two months they still have not sorted out her e-mail address and password so she cannot download the virus checker. She has a connection and is using hot mail. they have changed her address and password twice and still i cannot connect to the post office site. The tech support is useless with horrific waits for help. frequently cutting off after waiting for 30 or 40 minutes. i would not recommend post office. its overpriced and i got a better deal from Orange. i get maximum broadband with a mobile fone deal. £25.00 per month for a mobile 500minutes a month 1000 texts all that with broadband and the wireless livebox. On top of that for an extra £5.00 i get faster broadband plus an internet fone that can call any landline number in the world free of charge. AND free calls to orange mobiles. my kids call their friends all the time and i dont care.....my bill has dropped by £150 a quarter.

" UPDATE " 3rd Feb 2008. At first very good, But the last 8 days have been very DISAPPOINTING. Long waits for reply at Tec-Support, I hour waiting for reply yesterday. Issue { very Slow, or no Broadband at all, lots of dropouts, so slow I was timed out trying to access GoogleMail. (( a basic requirement of broadband.)) but to-day, ( Sunday 3/2/ 08 ) it seems to be OK. Time will tell. If I revert to my previous ( next to useless connection,) I will update report via a friends computer. However, I would say when you finally get to speak to someone at the Tec-Support team, you are talking to a friendly, and helpful person. Also the issue may well be a line problem. MyPostOffice are not the owners of the telephone lines. Finally this is my first Broadband experience. Happy until this problem showed up.

My experience with PO phone/broadband is mixed. No problem with phone, but broadband was a completely differently story. On the day of going live, I connected the router and went to work. When I came home in the evening, all the router lights were on as they should but not internet. Tried my previous ISP and it was dead as expected. Contacted the tech support and after some tests I was told my log-on ID were incorrect and needed resetting. I asked how this would take and the guy could not give me an answer. So I asked him to give me some idea i.e. hours, days, weeks or week, expecting a reply of a day or two but him still would not give me an answer. So I said "so it could be months" and he said "Yes". I though he was joke but clearly he wasn't. He then called his supervisor who told me that one of his customer had similar problem before Christmas and they still had not resolve the problem. I went cold. But for some unknown reason it started working last nigh. So be prepared.

Yep - you guessed it, my third MYPO install didn't work out of the box. As there's no technical help (server names, IPs etc) supplied I had to ring Tech Support. I got thru in about 2 mins, BUT the young lady whilst pleasant was of little help getting the WAN side to connect. She said an engineer would call me back after 8:30pm (it was then 6:20pm !) I was on-site until 9:30pm nobody called. Poor.

As a PC/Networking Engineer I'm on my third My Post Office broadband install now for friends. On the +ve side it's good value for money (if you already also use PO home phone) and it works. The router comes pre-loaded with connection info so (in theory) it's true plug and play, BUT if it doesn't you're in deep do-do as the tech support is poor and (in evenings) constantly engaged. They are NOT publishing the SMTP & POP3 details and this is a REAL ISSUE as the MyPostOffice web mail interface is (in my opinion) truly AWFUL. I confirm the details found elsewhere on this page DO work so you can setup OE, Outlook or whatever email client you wish. There are clearly STILL problems with secondary email accounts and the email server itself was reported as down this week. For these reasons I think you'll see contracting reviews - all could go well out of the box in which case you won't understand what all the gripping is about OR it won't and you'll need the patience of a saint !

After reading all the negative reviews I considered cancelling my order with Post Office Broadband, but in the end I decided to take the plunge and try the 8Mb Phone and Broadband package so here is my review. The router supplied is a Netgear DG834GPSP wireless router, which is not locked down (user=admin pw=password) as reported in previous reviews, everything looks like it can be changed so the router looks like it can be used on another ISP. The email settings are pop3.mypostoffice.co.uk and smtp.mypostoffice.co.uk, yourusername@mypostoffice.co.uk I got this info from the tech support, who were very helful. The whole thing is packaged for the over 50's which explains why there is so little technical info available. There is a fair use policy but do not appear to have any sort of traffic profiling in force, so P2P is ok. So far I have been quite impressed with the service and would recommend them to anyone.

Bad week to give up smoking.DO NOT SIGN UP TO POST OFFICE BROADBAND. Not enough space to put all problems down with postoffice home phone & broadband extra. It's taken 2 letters,3 emails and one month later for them to respond.they DON'T WANT TO KNOW and DON'T CARE. So DON'T DO IT.

i set up my broadband wiyh the post office on the 28th december 2007 my family and i excited to have it for the first time .At the time we were told it would take 3 to 5 days to get it up and running . i rang a week later to find out when it was going live and we were told 14th january ,at which point i had made it clear that i did not want amodem as everything we were going to be using was going to be wireless ,i made this point twice and said i was prepared to pay the extra money to have a wireless router sent.On the 12th of january we were sent a modem and when i rang to find out why ,i wastold that another mistake had been made and we would definetely get our router in 3to5 days .We have still not received it and to be honest feel that we have been misled with the service that the post office keep advertising .we are beginning to regret our decision to go with the post office as not one promise as been delivered ,its a shame to have to criticize a company but its true

Hi, Thanks for the reviews and info. I am going to risk Broadband with PO. Already with them for landline and pretty happy with that. Grateful if any one could let me know what router they supply. I will let you know my experience. Oh off topic but somebody did comment on generally poor ISP support. I have experienced this with Tiscali and AOL but CLARA and esp WAITROSE have been excellent. Most recent experience with Waitrose: their support has been mint and FREE. No 0845 or charge business. Kind Regards Paul

Had PO phone connected for two months now but no bills. Rang them to broadband migrated several times but they could not do it for some unknown reasons until today. I had to go through the whole process as if I were a now customer to apply the complete new package. MAC code went through OK (according to PO). Just have to wait and see. Not sure if it is the system or people that is incompetent. One thing I did find out was if you want to use your own router, you can get them from the technical service, but they do not provide surport for the third party hardware. As I am going to set the router up for my in-laws, I was given their user id in the form of firstname.lastname.postoffice@mypostoffice.com password contains 6 digits lower case letters. I will find out if this works or not this week end.

Thansk to this site and ML, got my mum's post office email up running with Outlook and incredimail. Absolutely no info on website or with package to tell you how to do this, very disappointing. goto Tools/Accounts (right at the bottom of the menu) then "add" a new account the the majority of the settings are fairly obvious the problem ones are the server settings and username format set outgoing server to be pop3.mypostoffice.co.uk sey incoming server to be smtp.mypostoffice.co.uk use the full e-mail addres for the username x.xxx@mypostoffice.co.uk do not select "Log on using secrue password" or "my server requires authenitcation" Hope this helps you all. And this is a very useful site, keep upthe good work.

have had broadband and home phone with the post office for nearly a week, although i got connected ok i cant use the email address and password they gave me as i get the message saying they dont recognise my email address, so, perhaps it takes a while for it all to register, and internet explore still puts me into my old server (tiscali) as my home page , so i dont know whats going on, but at least i'm on the net so thats whats important to me, lets hope i dont get a horrid message from them saying i'm abusing their service. lots of teething problems i think. as for the customer service, well, dont get me started!!, is anyone there.

I've got the standard broadband package. Seems to work well and the speeds are good as well. However, they don't supply the ADSL user name and password with the standard netgear router, so if you're thinking of upgrading to a wireless router then you will have headaches, trust me. I've tried getting hold of customer care but i sit on hold for over 10-15mins then give up. Tried emailing them and no response. The only way so far is to daisy chain the modem and the wireless router, which works after fashion, but they should be supplying the ADSL user name and passwords to connect to their service (BTW this is not the user name and password supplied in their welcome pack). In short if you're happy to use their standard netgear wired modem then its a good service.

My Post Office Broadband & Home Phone started 26th November as promised the router arrived two days before, very easy to set up , just plug it all in & it works, the only problem i had was that 3 of my new e mail addresses did not work & i got no help fom technical support , but everything works well now. To me its a great sevice as you can pay in cash at the post office, as i do not have a bank account i could not get broadnand with anyone else & managed with BT Dial up for years.

The kit arrived but the service did'nt start when it was supposed to. Tried phonong their so called "support" but totally unable to get through, constantly left waiting on the line (50 mins last time)Written Two emails to tech support and complaints dept. Neither have responded 3 days later. ABSOLUTELY APPALLING. So I can't contact them , dont know if I am being charged because the website "portal" gives no information .Hopeless in the extreme. If I ever get thu I will be cancelling. BTW connected the supplied Netgear router up and tried to get access to it via its IP but it is password SECURED and the password is not provided. How bad is that?

Dont buy this. The post office are having appalling problem with delivery and computer systems resulting in huge delays in activating peoples service and getting kit out. This is by thier own admission. I have been waiting weeks and weeks. It is near on impossible to get them on the phone for reasons that I cant comment on, however, it seems fairly obvious what the real story of bedlam and dissarray is. You are probably better off going to Pizza Hut for your broadband. I have allowed contingency for another months waiting by buying, at considerable cost, a GPRS T-Mobile modem to get me by. If you want all your hair to fall out and to resort to the land postal service (ironically) then sign up for Post Office Broadband. Serously folks - dont go near this provider until they have sorted out the fallout from thier infrastructure and industrial relations issues.

Having been a Homephone customer for the past 18 months, and very pleased with this service, I ordered up Standard Broadband. Everything arrived as they said it would, start date was when they said.......All o/k so far. Started install, router self-configure worked o/k, but NO broadband connection. I knew this was a BT line problem, so spoke to Tech Support (all Irish) nice people !!. (No Indian call centre...Brilliant). Tech support are polite but not deeply technical.....explained the problem.....said they would log a call with BT....(but i've heard this one before)....No response for 24 hrs....rang again...They said it had been overlooked, they would log call again....Nothing again for 24hrs, so decided to do my own BT line troubleshooting. Found a wiring problem in my roof, hence BINGO Broadband up and running..........and it works well !!!!!. Just to recap, all "Broadband ISP's" tech support is poor because they are all under so much pressure in this modern world.

Involved setting this up for a friend. They have had a lot of teething troubles in early Nov 2007, some of which at the time of writing have still to be resolved. From my experience you can forget the tech support line in the evening as they are swamped with calls and obviously oversupscribed and undermanned. As a computer professional I found the tech support to have little technical (network) knowledge. Email (secondary names dont work) appears only to be web based as they don't supply any POP3 or SMTP server details. Looks excellent value for money IF your install goes smoothly - great if it does, lord help you if it doesn't !

really pleased. post office homephone broadband at £21.95 per month - I'm getting free evening and weekend calls and line rental included in charges – no extra charges. so much better than BT phone plus pipex charges!!

Well, i've just ordered broadband from the post office for my grandad. It's an extra £15.00 a month on top of the standard post office line rental for the "unlimited" 8 meg service with a wireless router.... More details to follow when the router turns up and the line is activated. !! :)

I am a branch manager at a Post Office and I can assure Post Office Broadband is coming, I am going on a traing seminar on 5th October 2007. More details will follow. The phon service is better and cheaper BT. I believe broadband will also be cheaper and better.

With BT treating its customer so arrogantly, the Post Office could net the BT fall-out - and I would be there if Post Office had broadband. Unfortunately at the moment, BT have it. Come on - wipe up the market!

I live in hope that Post Office Ltd will soon offer broadband as I would expect it to be less expensive (along with better customer services) than Orange or BT, (what have you done SKY?) This will hopefully be combined with my present phone service (PO) to offer me an honest straight forward service. May you rule.

I would love the Post Office to offer Broadband, I am thinking of going back to BT or other Broadband connection. I don't wish to because the Post Office I find very helpful and cheaper than BT.

I am finding it impossible to get broadband through a Post Office phone line at all, or any info on Post Office broadband at all! Its a shame because I have been with the Post Office for a while now.. but I'm forced to go back to BT!! Sorry!
