We're over the 18 month mark in waiting for our fibre connection. Have been provided meaningless 'time-frames' which have come and gone. Cerberus' have an innate inability and laxness to manage and ch... See more

FTToD order, very happy with communications from Cerberus. I think over 9 months I only had a handful of missed updates. The updates they give are always a week or two behind, but thats clearly OpenR... See more

So far all is excellent. Delay in initial installation was caused by Open Reach who seem so pedestrian in their management’s approach to providing service to the end user. Aneta at Cerberus kept on to... See more

Helped our migration

They migrated us over from our old Horizon based solution, to 3CX. We had no loss of calls, and they've helped us configure the new system to exactly suit our needs. Their support team are always quick to respond, and have efficiently answered all our questions.

Not influential or effective for the price they charge

We're at month 14/15 with Cerberus middle manning our FTTP project with useless Openreach.
Given Cerberus will be charging over £1k per household (10+ households in our project), they really should be doing more than advising us they can't influence Openreach to operate any faster.
As a result of them being involved, we now also cannot escalate any complaints to Openreach as their contract is with Cerberus. We should have a severe discount for Cerberus's "service". Appalled at how little they are actually able to do yet want to profit <£95 per month if the Internet goes live.
Cereberus, put this right by lodging a senior complaint with Openreach to get money back for their useless service
AND providing a 50% discount to all households for overpriced internet provided
Then I would be happy to remove the review as they have made efforts to resolve this.

Overall it has been a good service but…

Overall it has been a good service but ceasing the FTTP service has shown to be troublesome.

I've recently signed up to a local altnet ISP who I initially had an issue with but this has since been resolved. At first I was going to migrate my FTTP service to another ISP who uses the Openreach network. However, now that the issue with the altnet ISP has been resolved I contacted the ISP I was migrating the FTTP service to and they were more than happy to cancel the migration and cease the FTTP service which would've happened by the beginning of next month.

Unfortunately Cerberus Networks cancelled that cease request shortly after the other ISP I was migrating to placed one and it looks like I'll now be billed in excess of £100 for another month's FTTP service (out of contract and excluding the cease fee too).

A reasonable service has now put a bad taste in my mouth now that I'll no longer be using them. I can't give them more than one star due to this.

Poor re-grading of speed experience.

Poor re-grading of speed experience.

When I've had a change of package from other ISPs, it's taken minutes for the new speed to kick in, this took a month. Cerberus blamed "technical issues at BT". If that is true, then it means Cerberus is beholden to BT, in which case, what is the point having them as an ISP? Might as well be just BT in that case, to cut out the 3rd party and save a bit of money.

I can't knock knock the politeness and professionalism of the Cerberus staff, they're not to blame. It would seem that much like we have energy suppliers that don't generate energy, we have ISPs that can't actually control infrastructure without going through the likes of BT, it's a ridiculous system.

The way to get FTTPoD in rural Hampshire

Cerberus have generally been positive and helpful, though they have at times required chasing to get updates for OpenReach rooted problems with the FTTPoD build out.

The were, however, invaluable in negotiating the voucher funding process, and helping make a group application for the 3 houses in our close. Without them we would still be relying on unreliable and slow DSL.

On balance am I glad I went with Cerberus? 100% yes, because I had no other option, they made FTTPoD happen for me despite OpenReach, and I'm very very happy with the product. Thanks!

Would I be using them if Zen did FTTPoD? Frankly no, as for over 20years Zen have offered me first class service _and_ they have a residential VoIP offering. However, Zen have (understandably) decided not to get into the nightmare that is getting OpenReach to build out FTTPoD.

Will I move over to Zen when my 12month contract ends? TBD...

Fantastic so far

Fantastic so far. Not the cheapest, but the service is exactly as advertised; no fuss, no frills, and they've kept to schedule. I have also actually connected to an individual in support when needed each time so far, and when they say they will email me back they actually do. A pleasant change from the typical BT/Virgin/Sky nonsense.
