However, despite topping the charts in the latest 'comparing customer service' report, TrustPilot reviews paint a less positive picture, where the provider has an overall rating of two stars. Out of 11,625 reviews, 1,500 users have given Plusnet five stars, but a whopping 77% of the total reviews on TrustPilot are rated one-star, reports .

Plusnet is part of the BT group, alongside and , both of which scored lower satisfaction levels in the Ofcom report. However, according to Ofcom's data, the broadband provider with the lowest satisfaction is TalkTalk.

Customers have praised the outstanding customer service of their broadband provider, a sentiment echoed by Ofcom's findings, though some did point out concerns regarding rising prices. One user said: "Customer service is great.

"They helped me out within 24 hours, and I had an engineer visit booked for a few days later. The price for 1gbps is 36.99, however, by the end of my contract, it's going to be 42.99."

Another said: "Really consistent speeds and service, didn't have a single problem while I was with them for a year and a half. Unfortunately had to leave as they hiked up the initial price twice within a year, and it got too expensive to keep it installed."

TalkTalk boasts of offering full fibre for £26 a month with speeds reaching up to 900Mbps, but falls short according to the Ofcom report, which indicates that areas like complaint handling, reliability, speed and overall satisfaction need improvement. competes with frequent discounts and deals, also offering full fibre from £26. Satisfaction statistics place Sky Broadband slightly behind BT Broadband by 1%.

However, the report suggests while Sky Broadband may not be immune to criticisms, their proficiency in managing complaints remains commendable, scoring them above average marks in that department. While TalkTalk sits at the bottom of Ofcom's list, is just a notch above them, but there's little to separate those providers in the middle of the pack – EE, Vodafone, BT, Sky and Virgin Media are all neck and neck.

Looking at the current prices, most services offer entry-level full fibre packages from around £26. If customer satisfaction is priority, then Ofcom has made it clear: is the provider to go for, and with competitive prices and a tempting reward card up to £100 if switching before June 11, it might be time to consider switching.

Bear in mind that to make the switch easier. While Plusnet doesn't offer this service, will cover up to £300 to pay for your termination fee if you're leaving your current supplier early.
