The BEST internet provider

I have used ALL the Internet providers over the years. Not one can compare to country connect. When there is an issue, day or night, (almost always user error) I can get hold of them and they will remotely sort it out for me within minutes. Even later on a Saturday evening. This has happened multiple times and they’ve never once let me down. I CANNOT recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely terrible company

Absolutely terrible company. Worst part is I live in a new build and they have a contract with the building developers to be the sole ISP. Internet drops constantly, they use CGNAT because they are too lazy to implement IPV6, Customer web portal is atrocious and doesn’t work properly(this is even with their “new” revamp), also they have now removed their service status tracker(I wonder why).

To add insult to injury, they have now increased the tariff price I’m on but are offering a lesser service. I’m getting the same download speed but they’ve reduced my upload speed by 90%! Guess this fits with the new “Pay more, get less” culture sweeping the UK. Not impressed!

Reply from Country Connect

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience, but we’d like to clarify a few points.

We do not use CGNAT on our network, so this wouldn’t be the cause of any issues you’re experiencing. We’ve also tested your line and have not detected any connection dropouts, which suggests the issue is most likely related to internal or wireless connectivity rather than the service itself.

Being the sole provider in new-build developments is a standard arrangement, allowing full-fibre infrastructure to be installed from the outset and deliver better performance than legacy networks.

We do not reduce speeds without notice. If your upload speed appears significantly lower, we would want to review this, as it may not reflect your actual package.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the portal and service tools, and these are areas we are continuing to improve.

Please contact our support team directly so we can investigate further and help get this resolved for you.

Hi Heather,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience — this isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, especially after you’ve been with us for over four years.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like there may be a performance or setup issue, particularly if multiple devices are heavily using the connection. We’d have been more than happy to investigate and help resolve this, but we’re unable to see any support ticket raised. If one had been logged, we could have assisted much sooner.

We’d still really like the opportunity to put this right for you. Please get in touch with us directly and we’ll prioritise your case.

Overal ...positive

I had no choice to sign up as I moved into a new build. The customer service and set up was brilliant. The Internet cuts out quite a bit, no where near as much as sky used to and a lot cheaper.

Thanks for your review, we’re really pleased to hear you found the setup process and customer service brilliant.

We appreciate your feedback on the connection as well. While it’s good to hear it’s been more reliable and better value than your previous provider, dropouts shouldn’t be happening regularly. If you haven’t already, please raise a support ticket with us and we’ll be happy to take a closer look and help improve this for you.

We have zero choice but to accept country connect. The service is fine, they fix issues quickly. What i object to is the i crease in price with reduction of speeds and being told this is part of an enhanced experience.

As soon as the network is open I will leave you try connect, as will 80% of my neighbours

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad to hear you’ve found the service reliable overall and that issues are resolved quickly when reported.

We do understand your concerns around pricing and speeds, and we’re sorry this has caused frustration. Changes like these are part of ongoing network improvements, but we appreciate this may not always feel like a benefit from your perspective.

If you’d like, please get in touch with us directly and we can review your connection and package to ensure you’re getting the best possible service.

Country Connect Broadband

Have been with Country connect since they took over the previous company as we inherited the service. I run my tv and wifi items and have not had any major issues. We have had an odd downtime due to system update but this has not lasted long. I was happy paying the previous price as it was kept the same as before they took over, but not too impressed with the new rate. At the moment we have no other choice

Rip off price increase!

Overall I've been with CC for 5 to 6 years now and as a low user couldn't fault their service. But as of the 1st of April they are implementing a 180% price increase, how can they justify increasing their prices from £21.60 to £39.00! Customer services were not interested when I raised this issue as they knew I had no choice but to stay with them as they have a monopoly in my area.

Thank you for your review and for being with us over the past 5–6 years.

We understand your frustration regarding the recent price increase. These changes are part of wider network investment and are applied across the service, not on an individual basis.

We’re also concerned to hear you felt your query wasn’t handled properly. That’s not the standard we expect, and we would have been happy to review this further with you at the time.

If you would like us to look at your account and discuss your options, please get back in touch.

Excellent company

Have been with Country Connect for over eight years and have nothing but praise for the company. Over the last couple of years their service has been extremely reliable and have had zero cause to contat them. Any network issue they are experiencing are quickly relayed and resolved. I work from home most weeks and an unreliable network would have been a nightmare

Overall the service works well

Overall the service works well with only 1 major problem since we joined. The service went down for a day and I felt the Company should have kept Customers informed throughout the day.
The Customer Team always respond to queries and are happy to deal with all issues. The price is right and is very competitive versus competitors especially Sky.
All in all very glad I chose them.

Once you’re in, you can never leave

The estate I live is ring fenced to one provider. No other providers are able to use the “wires” that country connect use.

Therefore if I decide to leave, I will be without broadband unless using a “sim-only” related broadband.

If I stay, there is no competition to drive the prices down. If I stay on a rolling contact I could be paying up to £49 per month. If I stay on a two year fixed rate I could be paying £46, either product is between £10-£14 more than I currently pay.

Whilst the service I have found to be okay when used, I’ve found that once you’re in the contract, you can’t get out - don’t get caught out!

Thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We understand your concerns around provider choice and pricing. In some areas, networks are built to serve specific developments, which can limit availability to other providers, particularly in the early stages.

We’re glad to hear the service itself has been working well, but we’re sorry you feel restricted by your options and contract. We always aim to be clear about terms and pricing, and we’d be happy to go through these with you to ensure everything is fully understood.

If you’d like to discuss your situation or review your options, please get in touch with us directly.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, this is not the level of service we aim to provide.

Issues with speed and a lack of response from customer service are taken seriously, and we apologise that you’ve felt ignored. If a support ticket hasn’t been raised, we wouldn’t have been able to investigate, but we’re more than happy to help get this resolved for you.

Please get in touch with us directly and we’ll make this a priority.
