“Avoid XLN. Nothing is excellent there. We contact them many times trying to reduce our bills because we no longer use their services. We moved into a different office with broadband and telephone lines included in the rent, so we do not use XLN anymore. They do not care about you, just want your money even they do not provide any services. On top of that, as we are a long period customer, they rise our bills without my consent. Now we have to pay nearly £70/monthly for nothing. Customer service always said sorry, we can't help you. Avoid XLN. I’m sure that they push their employees or pay third parties to write reviews to keep their ratings up.”

“Poor service providers. When not if your line goes down which your business needs you Stuffed! 3 days no phone line. I lose £500 per hour and been told to check line equipment myself and fit a adsl filter. Adsl filter fixes everything like poly filler for the scouser... obviously I know it's not that but still no phone line. Now please check inside the bt box, I am no engineer and not a clue what to look for, is this my equipment? Do not use this firm to save money, it will cost you dearly.”

“In the the beginning xln is very helpful & supportive but wait what happens after 6 months. I signed 2 years contract & my bill went up from £22 to £27 according to contract which is fine then instead going up to £32 on the 12th month xln changed to £58 without my consent. When I called xln told me that they have sent me emails to confirm this, i had never received any emails. Then the lady tells me that was the best deal they put me on & it's too late to change it back, the only way she can give me a discount if I switch my card machine & mobile to them then I will be entitle to discount. I told her, first she has to fix my tariff then I will consider switching my other services. From here her attitude started to change & very firm & raised her voice. Xln is a RIP off, they are just after your money. I have about 6 months of my contract left then I will cancel it. In the beginning I was considering to switch 2 card payment machines & 5 mobile numbers & now I am glad I didn't switch. At the end of the day you end up paying the same as BT or big companies plus you have to deal with all the hassle. STAY AWAY FROM XLN”

“Worst company ever I've dealt with. 10 years of dealing with many business lines XLN are the worst. Add on insurance products without my permission by sending out soft letters saying automatic enrolment which I never even received. Charging me over £100 for a missed appointment. I've never had a missed appointment so when I call to ask for my money back I'm told I need to wait 8 weeks for it while they investigate it with open reach. Absolute RUBBISH!!! BT were slightly higher in terms of price but honestly never had these kind of issue. Anyone on XLN please please please check your invoices monthly. A £40 a month max contract ended up with me paying £175 this month. Thank God I checked”

“Worst company ever to deal with. Tried to cancel only 5 days into the contract but they threatened that I’d have to pay £400 fees as there is no cooling off period. I changed to fibre and the connection was still as bad. They told me I can only use one device at a time (seriously ?!!) so I have now cancelled. Once again I’ve been threatened with the £400 fees but they can take me to court, I’m not paying. They don’t scare me. I know my rights and they haven’t provided me with the service I signed up for. Therefore I have the right to cancel without charge. Please do not sign up with this dreadful company !!!”

“JH Yorkshire XLN Telecom 2019-04-19 I honestly believe they make their money by providing such a rip off terrible service,many customers actually pay their huge termination fees just to get away from them. Slow broadband, hidden charges, threats if we dont take out their business assurance etc. This is the type of company you always hope you will never accidentally sign up with! Avoid at all costs”

“Exactly two months after I moved into my new home, I now have again the original telephone number of the property, the one which was on all my change of address cards! The previous owner was with XLN, who refused to transfer the telephone line, the telephone number, the telephone service and the broadband service to my existing provider, Plusnet. XLN record all their calls so they will know that they lied to me when they said that they owned the line and owned the number. I felt this was absurd at the time - surely the ownership of these things is with Openreach? - and I felt I was being blackmailed into staying with XLN. After reading all the horrendous reviews of XLN, here and particularly in Serchen, I was determined not to sign up with XLN. I got the most ridiculous collection of calls and correspondence from them, some addressed to 'Mrs New Tenant' (like something out of Monty Python!) and all containing what with hindsight were clearly lies - Jesse Pollard-Reynolds should particularly hang their head in shame - and I am most grateful to the dozen or so Openreach and Plusnet staff, who have contributed to the success of providing me with my "old" number again, together with a broadband speed that is 4 times that ever achieved with XLN. Thank you all. To XLN: thank you for nothing but lies.”

“HERE WE GO AGAIN Just got my bill for month and yet again without notice gone up, rang XLN to find out why. they say my phone package has gone up, we are trying to encourage you to use your land line to ring mobiles and land lines free. i dont even have a land line phone i just wanted broadband. Anyhow XLN say i have to pay extra and cant get out of it. i now pay £36 just for broadband.If i hadn't kept a eye on my billing and hidden extras which they don't tell you about i'd be paying over £50 a month i cant wait to end my contract as i feel as a small business they are far to expensive and not a genuine company.”

“Unfortunately XLN is not suitable for small businesses especially not Vat registered. Only first 3 months are free of Vat then Vat is added to the bill. Also the base cost is increased after first 3 months without any notice. Services like diverting calls or even caller display are available at an extra cost. Incompetent customer support - gives misleading information on the phone when asked about billing in an unpleasant tone. Minimum 2 year contract. Overall not impressed at all with their service.”

“XLN is an awful company and from experience I would recommend small business' to look elsewhere for a provider. Over three months without an internet connection, which I paid and never received compensation for. Then they Add Business assurance to your account, even when you have written to them to opt out. Terrible service, terrible customer service, take your money but don't provide a service, never mind the stress of having to deal with all their diagnostic checks.”

“SCAM!!!! This company lured you in with low prices and free services then a months into the contract things change. I started paying £18 at beginning now I’m paying £48.50 each month just for the internet. And I’m pretty sure that they get there employees to write reviews to keep there ratings up. I would recommend paying a bit extra and using a proper company such as BT or anyone else”
