Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 65 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the incredibly knowledgeable and exceptionally helpful staff who provide prompt, direct human responses rather than relying on automated scripts. The overall service, network connections, and home installation processes are consistently described by consumers as highly reliable, fast, and remarkably smooth to transition to. However, some people mentioned that dealing with customer support could occasionally feel frustrating, unresponsive, or unhelpful when complex technical problems arose. Reviewers also noted specific instances where communication broke down completely or technical assistance fell short of expectations during prolonged connectivity issues.

Exceptional customer service

Exceptional customer service and very reliable. If connectivity is important at home, for example due to work, then the peace of mind that comes with being able to pick up the phone to a knowledgeable, UK-based human being is priceless.

Hi Timothy, I've since called you regarding this and you were able to explain which setting change made this work - thank you.. I'm glad it is now working, you explained the fix was the setting in the VoIP device to only use IPv4 instead of "preferring IPv4 over IPv6". We will update our documentation regarding this as it seems this option is incompatible with Plusnet somehow - at least in this case.

Excellent internet provider

Excellent internet provider. Very responsive to questions, informative, plain language, transparent pricing structure. I’ve been with A&A for many years and would not change.

A&A very good as always!

Had a new FTTP line installed to replace the FTTC line I've had with A&A for many years. A&A were very helpful with pre-order questions as usual and all went smoothly. The only small improvements I can suggest are to add details to the order confirmation email about how best to cancel the existing line once the new one is up and running. ("Order" a cancellation on the website or phone in) and to add details of the latest BT (Adtran) ONT to the support pages.

Extremely efficient and well-organised set-up, no problems. Excellent customer service too.

Not many companies were willing/able to provide a WiFi service at my location, so I am particularly grateful to A&A for that.

Supportive when moving house

I have been with AA for about 8 years and they have always provided excellent customer service and internet.

We moved house recently and they made the transition super easy and clear.

Absolutely first class service

On a completely different level to any other communications provider. Like dealing with a small local firm. Support calls are answered immediately, usually by the same very knowledgeable person. Any line issues and they act immediately. Information provided by their system is second to none too.
They provide our line, broadband and VOIP services.

Does you ISP send you an email whenever your connection drops? Whether it is unplugging the phone line, turning off the modem or OpenReach problems (sadly they don’t know which). Used them for years for DSL, VDSL and FTP, great service and real people providing support. Do yourself a favour and check them out.

The Best ISP in Britian

I have been using A&A for over 8 years now, when my old ISP went bankrupt and left me (and others) in the lurch at Christmas 2016. A&A got me connected within a few days. On the few times I've had to get in touch, I've always found their UK-based advisers to be polite, knowledgeable and professional. No problems with the connection, always willing to sort things out with BT, and no hanging about on the phone in a queue. I've never had a problem with slowdowns or throttling, but then again I'm not a gamer, but I do use YouTube & Netflix. I recently had FTTP (Full Fibre) installed, and the process was seamless. I have the 160/30mbs option which is more than enough for me. No problems (not even teething) since it was installed in early December.
A&A are not the cheapest, but the quality of the router, line & service are incomparable. BTW, their website always keeps you informed of forthcoming or ongoing works in your area. Highly recommended.

Second worst ISP ive used (after Virgin Media). Ridiculous pricing, ridiciulous quota (Yes, in this day and age!).
And despite the claims, appalling customer support.

The only good thing I got from these people was a decent router (which i still use today for 300mbit fibre).

I can not understand all the positive reviews, friends and family?

Hello Steve,
We're unable to find your account based on the details in this review - we do have our escalations@aa.net.uk email address which is a good port of call to raise any problems that you think are not being dealt with properly.
As for Quotas, we did remove the quota as an option in the summer of 2024. Customers on the higher usage quota tariffs had the quota removed at the time for no change in contract or cost. We have kept the lower quoter as a lower price option
As for the other reviews here - they really are from real customers :-)
Please do get in touch and we can review your service.

Not part of OFCOM Code of Practice

Sadly, as I live in a country place, I can’t give AA any better than 2*. If a storm like Darragh takes out the cable, we still have to pay for the service we aren’t getting as AA have not signed up for the OFCOM code of practice. This last time we were without any service for 14 days. No proactive follow up with Openreach (‘I’m sure they’ll fix it in due course’) - I had to ring AA, and Openreach won’t talk to me because they provide services to AA not me. With a 91 year old in the house and minimal mobile reception, information matters. Great pity, but it’s galling to pay more and get less.
Sadly, given that outages like these are likely to get more frequent, I shall be looking elsewhere. I’m sure it’s great for those in cities where infrastructure is more robust.

Hello Mary, We are sorry that you had a fault caused by Storm Darragh. Although there would be no compensation from Openreach for the incident (as Openreach declared a 'Matters Beyond our Reasonable Control') we would offer you a refund for the cost you paid for the service for the duration of the outage - do get in touch and we can sort this for you.
Sadly, the aftermath of the storm was a difficult time for Openreach and repairs did take longer than usual and engineer activity updates were less frequent. We did post about this on our status page https://aastatus.net/42732 and the MBORC status was finally removed for all areas on January 3rd.

Consistently excellent service

Consistently excellent service, from sales and support team. The technical abilities of their offering are unmatched and the recent switchover from FTTC to FTTP was straight forward.

The best ISP in the UK by a long chalk.

This is *the* ISP for anyone who likes talking to actual real human beings who are knowledgeable and able to help! Possibly the only service like this left in the known universe!

They're also great value for money and technically excellent. I can't imagine going to another ISP ever again, and if you're not a customer I recommend you head over there ASAP.

Their emails aren't formatted as if they spent £££ on artwork and advertising, and like everyone else sometimes things go wrong, but the different with A&A is that they then pick up the phone, figure out what is wrong within a few minutes and then fix it. Wow! It is like going back in time!

Been with them for 9 years now and can't rate them highly enough; they deserve more stars :)

VIOP phone issue

I had a problem with my VOIP phone and box that links to the router. It’s quite difficult to change the settings on this so Andrews & Arnold offered to fix the issue if I sent the equipment back to them in the post and they would return it. This there did and I don’t think they even charged for the return postage so can definitely recommend this company this fix issues when they arise.

No Issues after transferring to A&A

I transferred my FTTP and internet phone service from Sky to A&A using their one touch switch system. I placed the order online and was asked for a preferred transfer date. The service was automatically transferred on the appointed date. I am using the A&A technicolor router which has 2 phone sockets meaning I could just swap out the Sky hub and plug my phone into the new router. All very painless.
I highly recommend them.

Andrews & Arnold are the best

Andrews & Arnold are the best. No gimmicky marketing or drowning you in communications. Just a highly professional and expert company at what they do, providing first class services in broadband and networking. They provide excellent advice and go above and beyond, without ever sticking you in a queue or shoving you out to a call centre. I would never go anywhere else.
