Hi Tracy, we’re really sorry to hear this was your experience.
We do want to clarify that members of our team did reach out to you by phone to try and help resolve the issue. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to continue supporting you at the time due to the abusive language used during those interactions.
We’re always here to help our customers and do our best to get things sorted.
All the best,

Although our issue was fixed quickly by City Fibre , we were refused a new EERO by Brillband even though the engineer recommended we get one. Which seems very strange

Reply from Brillband
Hi David, glad to hear CityFibre got your internet back up and running quickly — always a relief when that’s sorted! It’s also great that the engineer gave you some advice about the router.
Because CityFibre engineers work with loads of different routers, the advice they give is useful but not always a perfect fit for every set-up. That’s why we do a few extra checks on our side — like Emma did with you on Tuesday. In your case, everything looked normal on the router’s thermal levels and the Eero app showed things were running smoothly again.
That said, if you do have any more problems, please just give us a shout. We’ll happily dig in and, if needed, can even look at sorting you out with a refurbished replacement router.

Avoid at ALL costs
Brillband is one of those companies that steal your money and offer you speeds “up to” 900mbps. They use out-dated eero technology which is very unreliable as well as their actual customer service team. You can only ever get a hold of them between 9-5, which most people work 9-5 Monday to Friday so getting a hold of someone is a nightmare.
Brillband also “incentivises” you by offering you 1 month free by referring someone to join them. If you refer 14 people, you get 14 months free, yes it’s good, although it’s very pyramid schemey. Once you’re in, you’re in.
Communications from them drop, and when you miss a payment you will suddenly hear from them, haha.
Their social media sites are full of crap. Why am I paying for terrible slow speeds while your staff are making tiktoks. “I have one daughter👆”. If you know, you know. Spend my money on FIXING your speeds

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your experience — we’re really sorry to hear how unhappy you’ve been with Brillband.
We’d like to reassure you that we don’t cap or throttle speeds — our service is delivered over full-fibre connections capable of up to 900Mbps, but we know speeds can sometimes vary depending on set-up, equipment, and wider network conditions. Our support team is always happy to troubleshoot to make sure you’re getting the best performance possible.
In terms of customer support, we’re available 7 days a week, and from September onwards we’ll also be online until 19:30 to make it even easier to reach us outside of standard working hours.
Our referral programme is designed simply as a way to reward customers who recommend us — there’s no catch, and we operate like most other broadband providers with customer contracts.
We’re sorry if communication has felt lacking at times — that’s an area we’re working hard to improve, and your feedback is really valuable in helping us do that.
If you’d like, we’d love the chance to look into your connection specifically to get to the bottom of the speed issues you’ve been seeing. Please do reach out to the team and we’ll make this a priority.

No broadband, no status page, no excuse.
I will continue to score Brillband 1 star until they implement a proper, public status page.
Since switching from Sky to Brillband, the number of outages has been completely unacceptable for a broadband provider. Because there’s no status page, I don’t just waste time contacting support — I also waste time troubleshooting the problem myself, only to eventually find out it was never something I could fix in the first place.
The lack of transparency is made worse by how slow you are to proactively inform customers of issues. Instead, we’re left in the dark, burning our own time and energy for something that could be solved with a simple, real-time status page.

Reply from Brillband
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback — and I’m really sorry for the frustration this has caused.
We completely understand how valuable a real-time status page would be, both for transparency and to save you from wasting time troubleshooting something that’s actually a network-wide issue. You’ve made some fair points here, and I want to be clear that your feedback has been heard.
We are actively reviewing ways to improve how we communicate outages — including the possibility of a public status page — so customers can get instant, accurate updates without needing to reach out.
I appreciate you raising this with us, and I’m sorry again for the disruption you’ve experienced since joining. We’ll keep pushing to make our service more reliable and our communication faster and clearer.
All the best,
Team Brillband

CityFibre Becoming more unreliable and untrustworthy
I work in IT Security incident response and I am on call constantly. We have been responding to an incident this weekend through into this week, and I have been unable to effectively manage the incident as you have been down for most of Sunday and now today as well. This is not only affecting my ability to work, directly affecting my income, it is also affecting my reputation and my ability to affectively help get very vulnerable customer back to a working position. It has been extremely stressful, especially for my customers. I need a reliable provider and recently that has not been you / CityFibre. The slow response times, lack of information or Post Incident Review is worrying, and the fact that a company with as large a coverage as CityFibre does not have adequate resiliency is very concerning. I need to move to a more reliable provider but to do this you are quoting me over £400 to cancel the current contract (that you are currently unable to fulfil).

Hi Sean, thanks for taking the time to leave this review — and we're really sorry to hear about your recent experience.
We completely understand how critical a reliable connection is for the work you do, especially when it directly impacts not only your own responsibilities, but also your customers and their wellbeing. It's clear this recent downtime has caused significant stress, and for that, we sincerely apologise.
We’ve been working closely with CityFibre throughout these recent outages, and we share your concerns around reliability. We’re continuing to push for better resilience and faster communication during incidents, and your feedback is a valuable part of that conversation.
If you’d like to discuss this further, including anything around your current contract, please reach out to our team — we’d really like the chance to talk it through with you directly.

Anytime there is a issue with the broadband service either going down or degraded, takes a while before anyone responds to various messages either through WhatsApp or email, example today I received a WhatsApp message reply to my query informing me there is an issue with broadband and city fibre was aware, however my request was sent the day before and the issue was resolved by city fibre the day before, and I am now getting a reply a day late to say" we are aware of an issue affecting broadband service and city fibre is looking into issue" so come on brillband get your help service up to date.

Hi William, thanks for your feedback — and really sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
We completely understand how frustrating it is when you're experiencing a broadband issue and don’t hear back straight away. In this case, the outage was a bit intermittent, so we were trying to identify and reach out to anyone who may have been affected as the situation developed.
That said, we totally take your point and we’re actively working on improving our response times during service issues. Thanks again for your patience — we really do appreciate it.
