Initial selling points differ when you change to another energy supplier.You get charged for anything you added initially for an extra month when the account has been cancelled.Not very nice.

My experience with UW Broadband has been extremely poor. I initially contacted them to purchase a broadband plan. I clearly informed the salesperson that I already had a router, did not require another one, and that I needed an Openreach engineer to carry out the installation at my home. One week later, having received no appointment, I contacted them again. I was told that no engineer had been booked and that I would need to wait two weeks until my service went live before arranging an appointment. In addition, I received an additional router, leaving me with two. After waiting two weeks, I contacted them again and a fault was opened on 18 March. For the following month, I was in constant contact with UW, as no engineer was sent to resolve the issue for weeks. They never gave me proper explanation on what was happening. When speaking directly to Openreach engineers in the area, I was informed that the information provided by UW was incorrect and that a different team was required. This happened multiple times. Information I provided to UW was not passed on, resulting in repeated delays and a clear lack of coordination between the two companies. I finally received internet access on 15 April—28 days after the fault was raised. The issues continued with my first bill. I was charged from 18 March, despite only having service from 15 April. I was also compensated for only 6 days of delay instead of the actual 28 days. This compensation does cover the period during which I had no service. Additionally, I was charged for a router that I explicitly stated I did not need. Since then, I have made numerous calls in an attempt to resolve these issues. Each time, I am passed between different teams, often spending long periods on the phone (in one instance, 1 hour and 45 minutes) without any resolution. I am repeatedly told that a case has been raised and that I will receive a response within 24–72 hours; however, this never happens. When I call back, I am often told that no case exists and a new one must be created, restarting the process. Attempts to contact UW by email are equally ineffective, with either no response or delayed replies that do not address the issue. I have also tried to raise formal complaints and escalate the matter, but have not been able to reach anyone with the authority to resolve it. In summary, UW has failed to provide the agreed service, has mismanaged the installation process, and has charged me incorrectly. I am being billed for a service I was unable to use, and for equipment I did not request.

Awful Service. Fault with broadband and phone line. Phone to get an update and not even actioned 4 days after reporting the problem. I was promised an update and nothing. When explaining impact of no broadband (husband and I both work from home) and impact on my son who is Neurodiverse and the call taker asked about my son's ILLNESSES!! He isn't ill, never have i felt so let down on behalf of my son that this is still what people think. They seriously need to look at their inclusion and equality training! I am still waiting for my call back from the manager that was supposed to be over 5 hours ago!! Awful service and product

Absolutely awful. The worst company… avoid like the plague. They have messed me about for 18 months by wrongly supplying faulty full fibre broadband and then said it’s in their small print that they don’t have to supply a working Wi-Fi… and yet they have been happy to take my money for 18 months. I have now been forced to take legal action against them… all they do is close complaints and say that they are fixed when they know they’re not. Disgusting… if I could give no stars I would.

It's taken me 6 months & A LOT of money to leave utility warehouse. Absolute nightmare, wouldn't recommend unless you intend to stay with them forever 😕 If you're getting an energy discount check your bill on pg2 & also check your internet speed as you pay top price for the lowest mbps. Their BACS acc number doesnt exist either. Staff & reps are lovely but the company itself is poor.

Avoid this company! They make it extremely difficult to cancel. I cancelled in January and they are still charging me in April.

After years of loyalty, my supplier charged me £116 to remove my gas meter after I switched to an ASHP. Despite admitting they never told me there would be a fee, they are still demanding payment. I’ve filed a formal complaint, especially since Ofgem has ruled that charging for meter removals in this context is unlawful

16 Days with no heating and hot water Short version: UW respond really quickly to billing/sales enquiries but their customer service is appalling. Long version: 2 days before my holiday my boiler broke down. I called out a GasSafe engineer to come and diagnose the fault and service my boiler. The engineer diagnosed a faulty smart gas meter which had lost power. I called UW (took ten minutes to answer) whilst the engineer was present and the UW agent on the phone (who sounded like she couldn't care less) informed me that I must send a video by e-mail. The gas engineer said "let me speak to her", but she said there was no point. So, I sent a video by e-mail. Their e-mail said the video must be shorter than 30 seconds long. I sent a 29 second long video. I received no reply, so chased this by email a few days later, they said they hadn't received an email from me. So I sent it again, again I received no response, so I'm assuming my e-mail didn't go through. My assumption is that their system for sending videos of faults must only be able to process videos of a certain file size, so the video length is irrelevant, especially if the video is 4K/HDR/etc. It baffles me that a company such as UW does not have a better system for uploading video files. So anyway, I cut down my video to 18 seconds, sent this off to them, and hey, still not received a reponse! What a shock... I believe your gas supplier is supposed to reconnect your gas supply within 4 hours, I am now on day 16 and we still haven't got to the stage where we are discussing an engineer coming to restore my gas supply. I had someone staying at my house to look after my pets whilst I was on holiday, and they refused to stay which caused me a logistic and financial problem, plus the stress of having to deal with this whilst on holiday was a real pain. SORT IT OUT UTILITY WAREHOUSE!

Worst company ever went from using£35 a month in gas and then all off a sudden £900 in one month then went from being in credit to being in debit told that was estimated bills they get meter readings supplied every month still not sorted. And bombarded with phone calls about SIM cards and broadband

After nearly 3 weeks without broadband or landline phone they are still happy to read from their scripts whenever I call them and all they do is pass the blame to a third party. I have never reviewed any organisation before (either positive or negative) but I am genuinely shocked by their lack of concern. As soon as this problem is fixed (currently not till next week at the earliest!) I will be closing my account and moving to other supplier. I naïvely thought that my contract with them was reciprocal ie I give them money and they provide a service. Evidently not !

Absolutely useless company! Happy to take your money, but not help you and provide you with the service that you’re paying for. They found that it was acceptable to send a Plumber within 24 hours, when water was absolutely pouring through my house. Failed callbacks,, poor customer service, no help to find a resolution, and no acceptance of not providing you with the service you are paying for. Stay clear also, my eldest daughter has had similar problems with them relating to her electricity supply.

Trying to cancel my mums landline as shes now gone into a care home, as each month goes by and they send the bill, they confirm that will be the last payment to pay, then another month goes by landline still not been cancelled and another bill dropped on the door mat. How does this company justify ripping off a 86 year old woman with dementia that hasn't lived in her flat since the end of January and yet in that time I have been asked for 3 payments. I have followed all cancellation procedures and they still do not cancel the landline. No one tells you the same thing when you call, 5 calls, 3 bills and 2 emails later still no joy. My advise is if you enjoy stress join UW otherwise AVOID THEM !!

Awful service!! You have to wait for about an hour just to get through, yet you can’t resolve anything with them. I contact the department on Thursday 12th March to discuss and arrange for payment. The Lady I spoke to promised to call me back on Saturday since she is working. I explain to her that because of the nature of my job I can only be available at 10 am. She then suggested 11.00 am because she wanted to deal with herself and get it resolved, which I thought was nice. Saturday 14th March at 11.00am nobody called. This is not the first time I was promised a call back and never received it. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. The company is charging over £300 for a broadband connection which only worked in 2 rooms for 5 days before terminating the contract.

They have the worse customer service- you can never get hold of them! Wish we had never switched to them, will definitely be switching back to my other providers at renewal

I swapped to an eSIM and it was a disaster. No phone usage since 2nd March. I am abroad and have no access to phone, internet and it has severely impacted my work. I have phoned 4 times. Emailed countless times (they say 2 days reply) I waited 5 days. I also tried WhatsApp messages and they just ignore you for hours. And when someone finally replies it’s when you have no wifi so can’t communicate. They then place you back in a queue. It’s a never ending circle of no one giving a damn. Your options below select one or another type of communication and I tried all of them.
