BT Broadband Reviews

disgusted by all service with BT won’t give them a rating for anything, they just fob you off when you have a problem

After years of sub 5 Mbs speed, and waiting to be connected to fibre (about 300 yards from the house), we installed 4G broadband. We now get 30-35Mbs download, and about 10-15Mbs upload. This may be pretty pathetic for city dwellers but if you live in the countryside you will appreciate that these numbers are high. So if you live in the middle nowhere, like us, it might be worth trying a 4G service. We needed an aerial on the outside of the house, but BT installed that for free, a rare example of good customer service. We pay £50 monthly and are capped at 500GB monthly, but again, having tolerated miserably bad speeds for years we're quite happy at the moment

Been without network connection for nearly 4 weeks now. Firstly i was told that it was an external problem and would be sorted within 5 days. I then had a text to say the problem had been sorted..... it had'nt. Another hour long call and they arranged a house visit and i had to wait another 5 days. I booked a day off work. At 2.30 i had an email to say i needed to book an engineer to fix my problem. I telephoned bt again an they said
(this is where the lies start) an engineer had been and there was nobody at the premises. The engineer then phoned my mobile and i cancelled. I asked the advisor if he could confirm the number the engineer rang and the number i was given did not belong to me, or anyone in my household.Another appointment was made for the following day, guess what! Yes it was cancelled again, through an email telling me again that i needed to book an engineer. Another hour long call to bt, this time they could'nt give me a reason as to why they had cancelled. I told them i wish to terminate my contract with them and they told me i had 12 months left and would have to pay the outstanding amount(£460) The first oppertunity i get to leave this supplier i will. They said openreach was the problem and they they do all the broadband regardless of my supplier. I said that bt are the company i pay and it's up to them to provide the service i pay a lot for.

Our experience with BT is absolutely horrible. We signed up with them only because they were the only provider offering over 100mb speed at our current address. They booked us an engineer visit on two occasions which they've missed (both), then 3rd time lucky, but leaving us without internet for 5 weeks. Now we are moving home and they can only offer us 30mb to 60mb at the new address. They wanted us to sign a fresh new contract on 30mb for a further 24months. Of course, we want out of our contract since they cannot honor their part of the deal & Virigin can offer us up to 500mb. They are not allowing us to leave without a buyout fee which is ridiculous. Since they want us to go on a fresh contract, it only shows that the old one does not stand. Absolutely horrible.

Internet down for 2 weeks now. From first day promised will come back in 24 hrs - never did . Both my wife and I opened complaints and got "assigned case owner "- never heard back ( not even an email nor phone call ) - and now my complaint marked off as completed and resolved without any feedback or progress . Openreach staff told me outside on main road it was their fault as they mixed cables - transferring greenboxes on the first day of internet loss . I wish I could mark no stars on this - but Trustpilot only allows me to mark lowest 1 star - absolute appalling ( both of us rely on the internet at home for income - during covid . If my phone signal was good enough in area or if I had an alternative option - I would have swapped already .

An absolute joke of a company in terms of service and looking after your new customers. We were due internet on Friday and one and a half weeks later we're still speaking to support to even get an engineer sent out. The initial engineer wasn't able to complete work outside the flat due to requiring a hoist to get up the pole, however he just left and never told us even though we were just across the road.

Had to phone back, get another engineer booked for Wednesday, never showed up. Had to book a new one for Friday, now there was an error in their booking system and so never showed up.

Booked again for the following Monday, and yet again the same system error meant that no engineer showed up on the day (we only find this out after each of the no-shows and not in advance)

Now we've been told that the 'error' is meant to be fixed by Tuesday and only then can we book an engineer again which will likely be at least another few days to a week.

All in all we set up to become a customer over a month ago to be live 2 weeks ago, seems that planning ahead means absolutely nothing. The empty promises and poor service is endless, and at this point any trust in the company is completely gone.

I wanted to post this as a complaint on their site but before I had finished posting it, it was already closed. Showing they clearly care about your feedback. I can't be bothered to change this text so that's it's not directly addressing them but I want to post this to get this off my chest. So keep that in mind.
My situation was this, I am currently using BT in my apartment and have been doing so for a year and a half. Recently, I bought a new house and the keys to the house would be handed to me on the 19th October. In anticipation for this day, I went to the BT website on the 6th of October and had ordered for new broadband to be set up for the 22nd in this new house. On the 13th, the week before, I received an email saying that this order had been cancelled. Confused, I called in to BT to try and understand the situation. I explained my circumstance to the person on the phone and asked him what could have been the reason for the cancellation, and he said he did not know. I then asked him if it was possible that the people who were currently staying in the house who were about to move out, were the ones who cancelled it and he said it was possible. Okay I said, I could see how if the previous tenants got a call saying that their internet was going to be changed (granted that it was going to be taken over on a date where they would not be in the house) then I could see how a mix up could occur. I asked the man on the phone if it would be possible to make the order again and which time it would be best to do so. He said that it would be alright to make the order right away if I knew I was definitely going to be at the house by the 19th. I said I was sure I would be in the house by then, but I wanted him to be sure that I could make this order and this would not happen again. He assured me that it would be fine. We make the order again and I can see that it was made for the 27th of October. This is a lot far down than I would like it to be but I thought it was fine if this is the best time they could do and I know things are stressful at the moment so I don’t want to push anything.
A week passes and the weekend before the 27th comes around and I receive no notice of BT making their order which I thought was odd as I thought BT would always give me small reminders that they were coming. Especially when you compare it to all the process of all furniture shops and gadget shops that I’ve been seeking patronage from for this new house as this is the standard process for all of them.
The 26th comes around and the delivery of my equipment has not been made yet. I track my order online and above it says that my order is cancelled but below it looks as if my order is still on track for my house. Confused, I call into the BT help desk to ask them what the true status of my order is. The guy checks my order and says he noticed the cancellation that was made before but that this current order is still on track but there were just some delays. He said that it should really arrive the next day or the day after. I feel relieved as he has reassured me that the order was still on track and happy that I could finally set up my internet so that I could move in and get my house together while working from home.
The next day comes and nothing arrives, and no email or text message arrives telling me they are still making the delivery. I decide to call in again to reconfirm that the order is definitely on its way only to be told that this new order was actually cancelled by the previous people again and it was done on the 15th. Now I am seriously confused and frustrated and extremely disappointed. I tell the assistant I had not received any message indicating that this had happened and that someone had told me yesterday that the order was on its way. She apologizes profusely and says there’s nothing she can do except make the order for me again and that it should come on the 10th of November. I ask her if there is any way she can move it up and she says no. I feel really dejected at this point so the lady encourages me to call in until someone makes a cancellation and I can take their spot. I felt a bit better after hearing this and decided that I would try.
Now today comes which is the 28th of October, and I decide to call in to first check the status of my order to confirm it is definitely on its’ way and to see if there were any cancellations. The man that answered assured me that the order is on its way but told me there was no way for me to take the spot of cancellations and move up my date. I told him this was not what was told to me the day before and he tells me that the lady must have been wrong. Again, I feel dejected again and he apologizes by giving my £10 credit for my phone (which I won’t use) and that he will lodge a complaint for me but frankly, both things don’t make me feel better about the situation.

Now I completely acknowledge my fault in trying to order the internet before I had fully moved into my new house. I should not have assumed that because I had paid for the house, had a date set for when we would exchange keys and know that the tenants were definitely moving out that the process would have been smooth and without hiccups. However, I wish to address the parts that were lacking on the BT side and were improvement could be added.
1. Communication – the first problem stems from the fact that I did not receive an email or text message or a phone call or anything letting me know of the second cancellation. Had I been allowed to know immediately after, I would have waited for the 19th to come, knowing we had full rights to the house (so there should be no reason for a new cancellation), and made a new order where it wouldn’t take so much time for my internet to be installed.
2. Staff collectively and consistently knowing the process – As I stated above, I talked to several people within BT in order to sort this out and I was given very different information from all of them. If it was a situation where I stayed quiet and just accepted everything at face value, then I wouldn’t make such a fuss for this point. But that was not the case, I constantly asked questions in order to reassure or reconfirm my suspicions. I asked the first guy if it were possible that the order could be cancelled again, and he said it would not. I asked the second guy if the order was still on track and he said that it was. I asked the third lady if I could call back and move up my installation date, if there was a cancellation and she said that I could, only to be told by the 4th guy that I can’t. What is going to happen if I call the 5th time? What is going to be contradicted now? This is the genuine paranoia that I have been left with and it will not fade until I am sure there is internet in my house. I understand staff having flexibility to appease their customers but knowing what limits can and cannot be set should be understood by all in order to not create any confusion.
3. Lastly, making the process faster – I am not going to lie, this point comes from a more selfish request, but I still want to be able to voice it. I understand that fulfilling orders can be hard especially in a time where we are in lockdown and we are supposed to be appeasing to social distancing rules but I find it so frustrating when I have ordered something and it is consistently pushed back more and more and more. I made this order early because I wanted to make sure everything could be organised. If there is internet not only could I start living in the new house and effectively put furniture together, but I could start working properly from home for the new job that I just acquired. I would not have to spend money on bus tickets or expensive taxis so that I can be there in time for furniture orders just to go back through the same method to my apartment for work. I would not have to spend exorbitant amounts of energy going from my apartment to my house and back again just to sort things out. I wanted to sort out my apartment so that it could be left in good condition and I could get my full deposit back. I most importantly I wanted my house to be sorted out before my family came for the holidays.
Overall, I think that BT internet has been exceptionally good however you have issues when it comes to first delivering that service to people. I have lived in different places for work and education and this issue with delivery is not the first time I’ve experienced this. There was even a time where I ordered for your broadband service and it did not start working until after about 2 months and a half and this was mainly due to the fact the house was not suited for the broadband that I wanted, so someone had to come in and physically install it. Waiting at this point was not an issue because I had access to the BT public Wi-Fi, so I was able to do the things I needed to do and the situation wasn’t so dire. However, at this new house the signal is so bad that I cannot connect to anything and therefore I can’t do anything. This issue where the house is not suited for the broadband that I want, could happen again but I would not know until I try to get the internet started and that would lead to more waiting which again will just make me more frustrated. I am not expecting any improvements on my situation to be made I just wanted to voice my frustrations in the hope that in the future, me or anyone else do not have to go through this.

Broadband keeps cutting out. Had more serious outages in 3 months with BT than 10 years with Virgin. BT can only book engineers a week ahead, and even then they aren't guaranteed to show up. Even when they did turn up they sent someone to fix the phone rather than the broadband.

Avoid at all costs, really poor service.

Hindsight, they say is a wonderful thing. Had I read the reviews before deciding to try BT I would never have agreed to a contract. At the moment I am two weeks without internet. Thanks to a neighbour I'm using their internet. If possible I would give zero stars to all of the above. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to speak to someone on Wednesday and when I did get through I was told I would be getting a call back on Sunday, that's tomorrow for an update. When I contacted them over two weeks ago about an engineer calling to investigate the problem I was sent a confirmation email from BT but two minutes later a second email was sent telling me that there was a delay so they couldn't give me a time when it would be addressed. I won't say fixed because I can't see that happening. I may just have to cut my losses and ask for a disconnection. I'll probably pay through the nose for it but at least I can try another broadband company. Maybe someone more reliable. I see positive review here but to be honest I think they must be from BT staff either that or someone who is being paid to write imaginary reviews

I was having problems trying to switch over to BT from virgin (virgin is excellent but a little pricey) Tried to contact customer service and had nothing but hassle. It felt like they were not bothered about me switching to them. It got to the point where I was so frustrated with them that I put the phone down and I will now stick with virgin and not be using BT. They are not worth the hassle.

Drops in speed all the time. Zoom calls cut off regularly. In these times of home working we need a more reliable service. When my contract tie in ended they quickly bumped me up to £40 month even though the same package for new subscribers is £26. We are living in tough economic times but BT will still happily rip you off.

engineers come out and don't know what they are doing
no broadband now for 3 months can't get out of contract until they say so


shambles passed onto 8 different operators to sort


worst service ever

If you're thinking about switching to BT broadband because of the BT reward card incentive then beware. They seem to be making it difficult to claim this, despite them claiming it should appear automatically on your account.

My own experience was that the reward card never appeared on my account. After contacting live chat to enquire about this, the adviser said he could not transfer me to the relevant department and told me to phone instead. This would have involved wasting more of my time because of the long waiting time on the helpline.

A quick Google search of 'bt reward card', and filtering by the past month shows lots of people complaining about not receiving reward cards, showing this is a current widespread issue. So unless you're prepared to waste time chasing this up, then don't expect to get the card.

The broadband itself has been excellent. I'm on a FTTP connection which is fast and reliable. It's just a shame that this experience with the reward card has soured my opinion.

I get 73 Mbps download and 18 upload on BT Fibre 2 package. I am lucky being just 120m from the fibre junction box so the copper wire last leg is relatively short. When things go wrong (about once a year - usually the service suddenly slowing down or needing frequent modem reboots) BT support has always been very fast and efficient. If they cannot fix the line remotely, an engineer has always arrived within a couple of days and the latest modem sent by post - all at no extra charge. You don’t often hear this... but I think the BT service is excellent.

I thought paying top whack prices would equal top whack service,reliability etc - it doesn't - looking at the reviews you are just as likely to experience slow speed patronising unapologetic customer service providers as you are paying half the price of BT - I am swopping to a cheaper provider for what I imagine will be the same poor experience but at least I won't be paying 50 quid a month for it

Such a terrible provider, download speed always fall short of the stated speed (e.g the stated speed was 11-13mb, and I am constantly receiving speed less than 5mb) and the pings are always spiking (varies from 30 to 500). The worst is that the slow wifi plan is even more expensive than some of the optical fibre plan provided by other competitors, I had no other choices as there is no optical fibre in my area. If you have other option BT should be avoided at all cost, extremely terrible.

Have recently moved home and simply wanted to move the service across, but this seems to have been an unnecessarily difficult process for BT. Have had multiple orders cancelled for no reason over they last three weeks, which they cannot seem to stop doing. They say they will call back to sort out, but never do, resulting in me having to call them back. Previously the broadband had a tendency to cut out at least twice a day. It takes a good while to get through to any customer service reps, and even when you do, whilst they are pleasant enough they can rarely solve your issues there and then. Don't even think about asking for discounts for inconvenience, because they won't even consider it. Have been a loyal customer for a good while, but enough is enough and it's time to move on.

Awful awful awful. Two weeks with no internet. Engineer supposedly came - no change. New modem sent. No change. Back at square one after two weeks and now have to wait yet another week for another engineer. Been told I cannot cancel contract unless BT fail to provide a service for 90 days!!! How can that be fair? They can fail to provide internet for three months yet I must still pay. Disgusting. Can't wait to leave...

The worst company by far. Slow WiFi, slow internet, poor customer service. With our plan was included a free TV which never arrived!! When we complained they told us they couldn't do anything!!! And for last but not least we paid BT Sport and it doesn't even include payperview. What can I say? Don't sign with this company, it's a scam, big, big scam.

Awfully disappointed with the dreadful service. Tried to set up a line for SIX weeks but hindered by a series of BT's mistakes. They only know how to apologise but will not compensate in any way. I do not recommend starting with this unhelpful company.

Bt came to transfer our broadband from plusnet, but managed to mess it up and we have now been left with no broadband and no phone for the last fortnight with another fortnight until they will come out again. Where we live we get little if any mobile connection and rely on the broadband for work. Although after an hour trying to rebook a new visit they have behaved very badly making us wait for a month for something they did.

Our Fibre Optic box shared with other occupiers of our small building in London EC1 was isolated as the probable fault as to why only our office and no one else in the building had no internet. Monday we made contact. It was almost certainly a switch that needed to be pushed at Open Reach's end but they could not do this without a job no. This took 3 days to organise. The engineer then arrived late one afternoon and did his best but could not determine the fault and had to return to another job. It turns out that it ialmost certainly is the OR switch and we hope after over a week without internet , it will soon be fixed. Meanwhile, we installed a Vodaphone 5G system as back up-even if China can allegedly interfere with this! It seems to be performing better that fibre optic so we we may ditch OR. I hate poor service as my busibness would not survive if we gave this so I happy to ditch OR and never depend on them again at the first opportunity-JP

Moved into a new build property in July 2020 and as an existing customer signed up for their 'easy' home move system. All communication up to our move date was positive, orders confirmed etc. and 3 weeks notice was given. No internet on the day following move in so contacted the customer service team who said the line could not be activated because of a records issue. This was the company line for 2 weeks (we still were without internet during this time). After two weeks the internet started working but was not at the speeds we were paying for. I called numerous times and spoke to numerous people, each one as clueless as the last and it took these two weeks for BT to acknowledge it was there error and apologise!

I was subsequently told that BT would need to re-order our broadband and phone which would take a further days to organise and then another 3 to process the order. This was due to happen on August 10th. I then received a call saying that the order had not been actioned and that we would have to wait another week. This issue is still ongoing and BT have seemed to be uninterested in resolving for us. We are in a new build property so are unable to move to another provider and this is clearly why they do not feel any pressure in finding a resolution.

I cannot stress how little I would recommend this company. Throughout, I have had to chase and clarify details at my own time and expense and was also still issued with a bill during this period without internet access. This was only refunded after I raised this as an issue.

Terrible processes, terrible customer service and seemingly a lack of interest in getting our issue resolved within a timely manner. Save yourself stress and inconvenience by choosing another provider.

If I could give 0 stars for speed I would. We live in a rural location, HOWEVER across the street from us there is ultra fast broadband. We cannot get access to it because we are on a different exchange 2miles away. This means we get 2mbs while my neighbours enjoy 800mbs. We are all working from home these days and are utterly dependent on good broadband. BT does not care and will not help. I have spoken to them for 4years consistently trying to find a solution. Our jobs are on a knife edge and if we do not get better broadband soon we will have potentially lose our jobs and home. Tell me BT how do I explain to my 7 year old that daddy and mommy longer has jobs because of bad internet.

Awful service! AVOID ! I was waiting for their engineer for all day which never turned up. At the same time BT bombarded me with warnings that missed appointment will cost me £130! It seems my time does not cost a penny ! To resolve a problem it takes 40 minutes of holding and listening their arrogant music. The problem never gets resolved from the fist attempt. What a shame! If I knew, I'd never sign contract with BT.

Three months no service this year (2020)
Five days after finally fixing the latest fault BT inform me my line is due to be ‘taken over’ by someone else.
Despite informing BT this is incorrect and being assured the process will be halted...BT end all my services. They then bill me £555.23 for cancelling my contract early!
Empty apologies, unable to reconnect without taking out a new contract and ignored calls.
Now failed to meet a promised call to discuss ‘my complaint’ (!)...

Truly truly awful. Please go elsewhere, this company are beyond self help

PS. I couldn’t give less than one star sadly.

Don't use BT if you live in central Birmingham. The broadband is terrible. I also had several issues with them when I moved apartments. I moved in the same block and they couldn't fix my connection issues. They made me wait 9 months after which I gave up and ended my service


Also they have absolutely awful customer service. You wait a good 20 minutes on the phone only to have no help until you threaten to leave their service. Complete waste of time and money

I made a change of house I took BT, but they started to charge the rest of the old contract, I called and they said it was incorrect, not to worry, 4 months later, I receive a letter from their company of 475 pounds debt recovery, and I'm still a customer. In addition to being incompetents,they are liars.
