You’ll always get the fastest broadband we can deliver to your modem. Plus, you can choose a monthly download GB limit to suit you. On top of this, we bring you a Data booster purchase option if your standard data is consumed.

4. Our obligations

Our Sales staff will be pleased to explain our services and terms and conditions to you before you sign-up. Installation of your equipment can either be from a professional installer or by yourself. Once it’s setup a simple PIN is entered, and the internet service will be activated.

Freedomsat carries out preventative and corrective maintenance over its networks and services. Our aim is to minimise inconvenience and correct faults.

We have a customer portal to enhance your customer experience and to help you monitor your service; we recommend all customers use this portal before reporting any perceived issues. Free access to your portal allows you to check data usage, signal, and other information about your service and the ability to purchase extra data as required.

5. Billing and payment

We invoice our customers monthly in advance, we offer discounts for larger prepayments so please contact our accounts team for the latest offers. We are pleased to deal with any queries that you may have, and our accounts team are available Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 5:30pm.

You can pay your bill by recurring card charge which is a simple and secure way to pay your bill online. If you are a new customer this is set up during the sales process where you will submit the details of your preferred card to be charged at the value of the subscription you have selected.

We list all our prices on our website. You can also ask us to send a paper copy of these – just talk to our sales team. We may change these from time to time either permanently or for limited periods (offers and promotions) and will provide public notification in advance of such changes to our customers.

Customers are required to pay their bills on the due date for payment shown on their bill. Where this doesn’t happen then Bentley Telecom may chase payment by calling the customer and/or sending reminders. If there is no response to this contact and/or full payment of the arrears is not made, then the customer’s services may be suspended. The customer will be reminded that continued non-payment will lead to full disconnection of the service. We will follow this by debt recovery procedures which would include disclosure of relevant customer information to the appropriate credit vetting agencies leading to a possible bad credit history. Any debt recovery procedures will be carried out professionally and in accordance with relevant UK legislation and best industry practice. In the unlikely event that Bentley Telecom were to disconnect a customer incorrectly the customer would be reconnected free of charge.

6. Leaving process

You may cancel any of your products or services at any time. However, if the product or service has a minimum term, you may have to pay for ending it early. To cancel a product or service, the cancellation form located HERE must be completed, once submitted a member of our cancellation team will contact you regarding next steps.

7. Complaint procedure

If you are unhappy with our service, please let us know as soon as you can. We’ll do our best to put things right, so you can carry on enjoying your service.
