About Us:
At Cuckoo, we put our customers at the heart of everything we do, as we try to make their lives easier and their broadband faster.
Because the truth is, we want them to actually feel good about their broadband. That's why we call it feel-good broadband.
We've already topped MoneySavingExpert's poll for the best customer service (twice) and are well on the way to achieving our overall aim: to become the UK's most recommended way to connect.
So if you're as customer obsessed as we are, and want to help change the face of the UK's broadband industry, we'd love to hear from you.
