Customer service was brilliant

Customer service was brilliant! Had a few issues with the initial set up but they swiftly replied and were on the case! Sent an engineer the next day who was very helpful and thorough in making sure everything was resolved.

Long term user; Long may it continue

I have enjoyed internet service from Pine Media since 2017. In my working from home job in software development for suites of cloud base systems, I was enormously grateful that Pine Media were able to bring FTTP (fast fibre) to the rural location where I live and provide me with very reliable, stable, low-latency bandwidth that took many delays and anxieties from that part of my internet usage. Latterly, streaming of high quality audio and video has been more of my needs since retiring from that job and retaining Pine Media as my ISP was never going to change.
All in all, the level of service provision from Pine Media has been exemplary, and any very occasional queries or issues I have had were always acted on with rapidity, great dedication, knowledge and care: I would recommend Pine Media unreservedly.

Fast technical solutions

The flat was incorrectly wired to the internet, and the PineMedia engineers were working to solve the problem with the utmost priority. Steve was updating me several times a day on the progress. I was not expecting this issue to be solved so quickly.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. I chose the GLO 1000 based on what our property could recieve and speeds were always over 800 Mbps. The few dropouts we had were sorted quickly and effectively by the team who were very easily contactable by email. Responses were very quick to enquiries etc. and they let us have an extra pod once we upgraded which meant the whole house was connacted well. Overall great experience and would recommend!

Positive Experience for both product and service

Our experience has been good so far. The technicians customer service was great and cannot fault them. We had two sites that we needed installation which they set up pretty quickly. WiFi seems to be ok for now so hopefully it holds up and we don't have to revert back to bigger chain!!

Cut off during a dispute

Pine Media cut off my broadband during a dispute, despite agreeing in writing to keep it active. Their handling was unprofessional and misleading — they even offered help conditional on removing reviews and previously incentivised customers with £5 credits for reviews. After delaying and arguing with the regulator, they were ordered to apologise and pay me £200 compensation. They missed deadlines twice and continued disputing the case after adjudication. Having operated for nearly 15 years without proper regulatory oversight, I’d strongly advise against trusting them with something as essential as your internet connection.

Reply from Pine Media Broadband

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your service with Pine Media didn’t meet your expectations, and we’d like to address the concerns you’ve raised with full transparency.

First and foremost, we deeply regret the disruption to your internet service and the stress this caused, particularly around a bank holiday and with your family’s needs in mind. While our intention was to reach a resolution that worked for both parties, we acknowledge that the communication and handling of the situation did not meet the standard we strive for.

While your broadband service itself ran without issues, your initial concern related to confusion between the two VoIP products we offer. To clarify:

- Landline Phone Socket – A traditional landline-style socket that allows you to use your existing handset.
- Digital Landline – A service that enables calls through our mobile app, using a landline number.

You originally selected our Digital Landline option but expected it to work with a physical handset, which we completely understand may have caused confusion. In response, our team offered to switch you to the Landline Phone Socket service — with no additional effort or costs required on your part.

Unfortunately, despite our attempts to resolve the confusion, you chose to cancel all services. We regret that we couldn’t reach a solution that worked for you, but we respected your decision, cancelled your account, and fully refunded all charges to you.

Regarding the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme, we understand the seriousness of your concern. We are registered with CISAS and are fully committed to maintaining compliance with Ofcom regulations. Previously we were registered with the Ombudsman. We accept that our administrative processes in the past could have been clearer, and we’re reviewing them thoroughly to ensure no customer is ever left unsure about their rights.

On the issue of the digital landline and our approach to reviews: our team’s offer was intended as a goodwill gesture to help cover additional costs, not as a condition to suppress honest feedback.

We appreciate you highlighting these issues — your feedback is helping us improve. If you’re open to further dialogue, we’d be grateful for the opportunity to speak directly and learn more about how we could have handled things better.

Pine Media Fibre

I have just taken out the Pine Media Fibre package, the whole process was simple from start to finish. The communication was great throughout....I would highly recommend.

I was using PineMedia in my previous…

I was using PineMedia in my previous property for a year without any problems so when I moved to a new rental unit January 2025 decided to continue with them given their reasonable price and previous good experience + supporting a local business. However, that might have been one of my biggest mistakes in 2025. Despite promising to set up the router in 3-5 working days (I put the order on January 23rd), I ended up waiting for more than 4 months. I spent +60£ on add-on data packages on my sim card hoping to get connected soon, something that never happened. When I finally got fed up and asked them to cancel my order they said I might need to pay cancellation fees because I am already on a contract with them, so I ended up waiting even more to avoid that. Only now (13th May) and after getting independent legal advice I realized they couldn't legally charge me any fees and I have wasted my time and money for nothing. Sad thing is now already 5 months have passed since I moved into this property, and the new contract with a different provider will finish after my contract with the current property ends and I will end up paying these 5 months extras (well above 100£) if I decide to move out!
Long story short, go for a reputable company and save yourself the headache of several months of sending follow up emails and calls.

Easy organisation

Easy organisation, easy setup, easy installation. The provided router is pretty simple to get running and configure. No issues with speed or uptime since joining 2 weeks ago. Two thumbs up from me!

Good WI-FI speeds, prices and helpful team

The customer service team are very friendly and helpful. We had a slight delay in our service getting activated but a team was on-site each day it was down to help, and were able to resolve it quickly. Well priced for the speeds available too!

Great, reliable service

Always very helpful when I’ve had queries but more importantly in the 3 years with PineMedia there’s been maybe one outage / issue… a far cry from our precious provider! Very reliable for working remotely.
