    If they weren't this big they could easily be labelled as scammers. I've been with BT since they were under the EE name and when my contract ended, they didn't bother to tell me and put the prices up. I paid extra like an idiot for over a year because I don't check my contracts. Once I've renewed it it went down to a decent amount and now it's getting ridiculously pricey. I'm paying nearly another half bill compared to the initial cost and other suppliers aredoing cheaper deals for better speeds. Also, if you fail to pay on time, they will add extra yo the bill. Never encountered this before in a reputable business, just the odd loansharks. I do not recommend at all just for the scammer like behaviour of the company

    Tv programs stop half way through or do not record fully. If we knew we would have all this trouble we would have not had a contract with you.

    Simply appalling. We were persuaded by a BT rep to leave our last provider and switch to a complete BT package of Broadband Halo and BT mobile.
    The worst decision I have ever made.
    Our Internet has been off for 3 weeks now with no indication as to when it will be repaired. There seems to be no communication between BT and Open Reach despite being part if the same company. Their complaints department NEVER returns your calls and the irony if it all is we are on their top package for customer service. Becausecwe are a Halo customer we have no landline as it is broadband based and BT mobile is very poor reception from the house. A nightmare from beginning to end and the moment we are reconnected we will leave BT and EE and never ever return.

    Been with BT longer than I care to remember. I rate servoce above pride everytime. My most recent experience is typical of their services. I received an email saying they had noticed a drop off in speed every now and again over the last 3 weeks and that they would look at it and I would be contacted over the next 5 days. Within 24 hours there was a knock at the door and an Openreach engineer came in checked the set up changed the connection box fully tested the system over the next 30 minutes. Worth the money

    No wifi all day and set for none tomorrow either, not ideal when you rely on it to work from home. This has happened on multiple occasions too.

    My worst nightmare! Rip off, thieves, non existent customer service, incompetent employees, poor service, absolutely not worth it. I've been with them for 6 years, first broadband, then added TV and mobile. Coincidence or not since EE took over, everything went bad. No mobile signal, no Internet signal, no TV signal. They forced me to upgrade fie a higher band saying Internet will work, but it hasn't and I couldn't stop contract. They charged me and extra add on for netflix which I didn't ask for, they didn't want to let me finish contract before April although I am paying for nothing. You have to wait up to 6 hours to get through to customer service, and if you are lucky they will move you from one department to another with no success. They will just walk you through all tests and procedures and codes and staff that you simply quit because you would need 3 days and lots of patience while they are taking your money without any shame. Run away from them! Run!!!

    Even Escalation to Exec level complaints team was a waste of time and after they initially agreed that 6 months of unreliable service was unacceptable and needed to build a case to take it to Director level at Openreach to resolve they then called and out of the blue are now claiming that 5 drops in connection per day for a minimum of 10 minutes at a time is now their ‘acceptable standard‘ so like it or lump it there’s nothing more they can do which has overnight went from really helpful and agreeing with my complaint to couldn’t give a monkey’s and take it to the Ombudsman if you want (which we have no alternative but to do given that as BT are the only provider who can offer any speeds over 3mb at our address and they all have to use BT networks anyway)…..shocking and a complete U turn on their initial attitude. Suspect they are refusing to repair old network (despite still charging customers for unreliable service) as focus is on meeting targets for new super fast network with future overhead cables to everyone’s property)
    Hopefully now BT has been taken over by EE they will get rid of their couldn’t care less attitude and bring standards up but don’t hold your breath as BT staff attitude is probably now ingrained with ‘do as little as humanly possible’ and will be difficult to change.
    The fact that BT don’t even comment on reviewers nightmares speaks volumes about their couldn’t care less attitude.

    For dubious reasons our housing developer told us we had to use BT for our internet for the first year in our new build despite our apprehension - and what a year.

    It took weeks just to get the internet running as set-up had been done wrong 3 times, resulting in multiple trips from “engineers”. Even when we recently managed to change to Plusnet (who offer way better internet speeds for much less money and both use OpenReach) our internet wouldn’t work because BT messed up giving the correct serial numbers to OpenReach. More completely avoidable idiocy.

    The customer service as every other review states is worse than abysmal. When I called to confirm I was changing supplier one lady just sighed and hung up on me I guess because she couldn’t be bothered.

    The next lady then denied all knowledge of Plusnet informing them of the switch so they had full intent to keep charging us. It took a very long time to get it cancelled on that phonecall then they sent me a bill for over twice my monthly payments. When I contested this they told me it was a mistake and I would be refunded.

    It looks now like that was a total lie to make me go away as you have to pay the bill regardless so you don’t harm your credit score. Trying to contest this again has been totally futile, the money is just gone.

    I’ve heard from multiple sources they will just pretend not to have received your router when you finish with their services just to try and charge you more so KEEP YOUR RECEIPT.

    I would recommend switching to literally any other company today.

    They mis sold me on delivery times they couldn’t deliver to, I have been lied 3 times by there customer support teams, they couldn’t even get a mini hub to work, they are liars and do not care what they say to keep your business, I have been left without any broadband over Xmas. Go somewhere else you will get a better cheaper service from companies that care, because BT do not care or have any systems in place to help you.
