When I signed my BT landline plus broadband contract, I was informed it is going to be a 12-month contract. One month before the contract ends, I phoned customer service to give the 30 days notice. I was told that my contract has magically extended. I have to pay £140++ worth of cancellation fee. This is all be cause BT sneakily advertised the landline service to be mis-matched with the broadband, so that we customers will be tricked to pay for the broadband for 18 months. I am a student who are financially affected by the pandemics. I demand my service to be cancelled free of charge.

Moving over from Sky fibre broadband to BT FULL FIBRE BROADBAND would be easy I thought, as I was promised minimal disruption. Instead, BT have left me with no internet connection and no phone line for almost a week (and still counting). My wife and I can’t work from home (I am vulnerable), kids can’t be homeschooled, parents can’t call us. Add to that we can’t access our Netflix or Amazon accounts. This is most likely the WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE of my life. I have had to buy a mobile Wi-fi dongle and data card at nearly £100 to give me something in the interim. Gave one stars only because the system didn’t allow me to leave zero. Can I go back to Sky...?

Moved house, requested a change. On the day there was no connection. 10 days later, still no connection. Awful customer service, lie after lie to get me off the phone and no clarification on when we'll be connected. Decided to look elsewhere and cancel our subscription immediately

I've been a BT customer since I moved from Sky 8 years ago. Moved the service to the new house 2.5 years ago with some problems with the new set up. Since then I have 74mb up and 18 ddown 24 hurs a day EVERY day. I am now moving to the FTTP 300 mb option and have had the xternal work done (cable from the cabinet 30 yards away) and I'm now waiting for the internal connection, delayed due to the epidemic. I have always found the broadband rock steady and at the speed advertised. I do not use the BT router/wireless hardware as it is far too restricting in how you can set it up (30 years in the IT) industry. No company is perfect but I am a happy bunny with them and would not change suppliers.

business broadband is absolute crap. There has been no full week of optimal performance, either constant dropped connections or just download speed below an acceptable level.
BT is absolute crap for the level of national infrastructure they have unfettered access to.
I will not recommend the business plan to anyone nor the regular plan as I've used both.
Customer service is good as there the poor guys always try to help but from a LEAN perspective, organizations that invest so much in customer service to deal with errors have done a very bad job in giving a good service.

I despair at BT nowadays. For the past 2 months, over 20 phone calls to them and several hours on the phone I still have 2 landlines. Is it too much to ask just to transfer the broadband to the other line and then close the first line? Every BT advisor has a different opinion of how to do this. Their complaints procedure is not fit for purpose and they never call me back. Usually half an hour wait to talk to them then constantly transferred. Its time the Government looked at their infrastructure monopoly in the countryside.

Dreadful speeds for most of the day, never more than 10mps, and drops right off at 5pm to less than 2mps despite paying for a minimum 16mps. Complaint lodged with them.

BT broadband has got good customer service, but the connection is an absolute disgrace, it keeps cutting out every 5 minutes, and I had to ring up customer service this morning, and they told me they would try their best to fix it, but overall, a very poor service... STAY AWAY

The service to get connected with BT broadband is worse than in a third world country. I have spent a total of over 7 hours waiting, being cut off , passed round different departments repeating the same name and address details to different people coming on the phone and talking gobbledegook. Aaarghh!,

After recently joining BT I was not best pleased with some of the service we got and nothing was getting actioned. However I luckily got a lovely lady called Jinder Kaur from the Leicester office (I think) who promptly resolved the issue and promised to call back which she did and also followed up after Christmas to make sure I received my connectors and got the engineer booked in.
If only all customer service stay was like her in every company!! These 5 stars go directly to her and I really hope this review will be passed on to her.
Thank you Jinder!!
Regards,
Chloe

One of the worst companies I have ever had to deal with.
Been a customer for years and always had pretty terrible broadband below speeds of 1mbps, and crackling telephone line.
Customer service is awful and they will use a variety of tactics to prevent you from leaving them, including just charging you after you phoned about 8 times to cancel.
Waste of money, bad service, bad customer service, would not recommend.

Broadband ordered at EE/BT shop; EE agent signing me up to BT contract ordered wrong installation. He also got my email address wrong and failed to correct it when I pointed this out.
After much to-ing & fro-ing, the wrong installation was corrected but BT classed that as a new contract (not a correction)and charged me a higher price ! BT refunded the difference only after high level complaint, but refused to correct the erroneous contract price.
After 3 unscheduled calls to me when I was out, BT's CEO staff's first reply to my complaint was an email saying they'd closed my complaint, with no explanation. I had to arrange a scheduled call to find out what action had been taken. They said the 'closed complaint' unexplanatory email was standard policy, and they (CEO staff !) had no power to change it, nor could say who set up that policy. Also said they were the highest complaint level, the CEO & senior staff were above my reach (how convenient for them !)

"Sorry, nothing we can do" should be BT's motto
The worse experience with anything ever. It started at the end of September when I placed an order for their full fiber 100 and TV package. It was more expensive than the competition but because it was a line take over they told me it should take only 20 days to get it set up as opposed to other companies that told me it would take a month or more. 20th of October was the initial activation date and the only thing that goes live is the landline (super useful in 2020) and nothing else. Apparently there was a need for additional work before they could get the broadband installed so I was pushed back to the 29th.
On the 29th an engineer came and told me he could not install the fiber broadband because there is no fiber run to this building. Apparently Open Reach has also messed up their site and had the wrong details about what kind of broadband can be installed at my address. This is the beginning of the downward spiral.
After that BT doesn't know how to deal with the problem. They put me on a temporary copper connection straight out of 1995 with less than 1Mbps speed on average and tell me it might take up to 26 weeks to fix the problem. At least the TV line was activated so good job there I guess.
Luckily, it only take a couple of weeks for Open Reach to fix their mess but when I thought it was finally over it turns out that the original fiber broadband I have order is no longer available, in fact there is no more FTTP plan available, only FTTC. As confused as I was I said "fine get me that one and let's be done with this".
Another small problem, because the initial order has gone through it has glitched the system and no one can cancel the order now in order to place a new one.
Now this is the peak of autism for BT. When I call to ask for a solution someone tells me that it might be faster to make a new account in my name (the original was in my father's name) and take over the line. What he failed to mention is the penalties that will be incurred for doing so. I call them and ask them about that and they told me "it's all very unfortunate and we are very sorry but there is nothing that we can do". I was directed to the billing department to dispute it and will update this review with the results.
So, after all that, more that 2 month of delay you would think that I finally got my services activated. Wrong! 9th of December was the new activation date and that day comes and again nothing. I called today (10th of December) and they told that they will get back to me, Almost every time they told me that nothing happened and I had to call them back.
At his point I don't know what to say anymore. I have been treated like a door mat for BT to wipe their feet on and then I was asked to pay for that privilege. To be fair, their customer services was friendly but next to useless so what's the point?
0/10 would absolutely not recommend, even urge you to steer clear if at all possibl

Terrible service, fault with broadband and have to wait couple of weeks before they can look at the fault, been told that they don't have to fix the fault within the first 30 days. Would be quicker for me to change broadband suppliers but BT will charge me £200 plus to leave before contract ends.

I would not recommend BT to anyone. What should have been a simple and easy case of transferring my existing account and service to my new address when I moved house has been an absolute nightmare. They cancelled part of my order on my moving day took over two weeks to put the new order through (leaving me without a working landline or internet service for a number of days), billed me for an increased tarrif at my old address account after I'd moved out, assured me that they wouldn't debit my account for this incorrect bill but did anyway, they've also set my new account up on a higher tarrif then originally agreed, and have ignored my last six emails to the Home Moves Team trying to get this all resolved (who'd promised me a call back two weeks ago, but who still haven't called me). I've also spent hours repeatedly on hold also trying to get through to someone to get it sorted (I'm currently on the phone to BT in a queue and have already been on hold for over an hour this morning). I've lodged complaints which have not been dealt with, and this is still dragging on six weeks after first advising them of my house move. Absolutely unacceptable way to treat their customers! I'll be raising this with the Ombudsman if BT don't get it all sorted out soon. If you're thinking of moving to BT I'd advise you to avoid at all costs, I'd really wished that I'd just switched to a new service provider when I moved house!

Horrible service ! Have paid for my contract with them, a month has passed and they still haven’t implemented the equipment and the wifi in my place. Have had 5 arranged appointments with them, and every time the engineer did not show up and did not even inform ! Completely unacceptable, horrible service and reliability ! Every time you try and contact them you have to wait for one hour, and every time someone says they will fix it and then the appointment does not got through ! Also, they promise to call you back, but eventually no once calls you, so you have to call them again and wait for one hour until someone replies.

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.
