    BT package is Infinity 2 Unlimited and (calls £7.50 a month) Since starting this package on 8th January broadband has been around 12 times today 3rd Feb. The broad when working is down to a download speed of 0.03 Mb/s which is worse than the old dial up and you can't use it. Avoid BT like the plague.

    I am trying to watch the FA cup reply Manchester United V Cambridge online, which would have been the pinnacle of my day and would have been a source of entertainment. But to my disappointment and annoyance the website remains half an hour after trying to login, at the login page. I had to receive the score through my friend, who is also irritated, frustrated and pissed off. I think it would be fair of you for the loss of my time and causing me emotion distress, to recover the costs of my displeasure with a Ferrari, preferable a red one. I hope you will sort this out and have back-up measures in places, to avoid this recondite in the future and a Ferrari would not have been given to me. Yours Faithfully, angry, deprived football fan.

    Beware - quoted a package for 12 months but when confirmation came through the price was only discounted for 6 months, make sure you read the small print

    Moved address in mid January 2015, placed an order for phone, broadband and TV on 8/12/14, plenty of time I thought and could even keep my own number!! Well here I am as February starts tomorrow, phones working, though no answer phone or caller ID, televisions just connected today but no BT sport!!, internets ok, but half of the speed quoted!! And still I wait for my old number to return,, then and then only will BT even consider the days taken off with no engineer, still not sorted out in 2 months and bills that don't tally to what I've had??!!, and I know it's a free phone number, but they're getting paid to speak to me, who's going to reimburse me with the 12 hours (so far) I've spent on the phone because they can't sort a straight forward order out.

    Decided to join BT Infinity in May 2014 as it apparently was the best, fastest broadband on the market.
    Since May, we've probably made over 20 calls a MONTH to complain about our terrible service. Calls will usually last around 1hr - 3hrs, this is fine if you don't have dinner to cook, places to be and lives to live but sadly, we do. The customer service over the phone is patronizing and usually rude, we get ran through the same things about connecting wires etc, but its no help. They say they note calls but when you call back they tell you you've never called them, even though you spend hours on the phone with them a few weeks prior. We have opened up so many cases now we can't even keep track, none of the cases have been solved. The internet will drop out randomly, sometimes it will talk over 2 hours to turn back on. When the internet goes out, you get steps to follow in your browser, after about 6 times its mind numbingly annoying to go through the process of checking wires, pressing the refresh button and unplugging and plugging things back in even though my router is never touched, only ever cleaned around. On top of that, if you accidently knock over the router - or even just nudge it gently - sometimes it will totally freak out and refuse to connect to the internet.
    Recently, the internet drops every hour or so then connects again which is incredibly annoying. We have had a new router sent out and it made no difference.

    We called them today and they did some 'tests' on our landline and wireless, apparently their maybe a fault in OUR wires, they are charging and WHOPPING £129.99 to check these wires in our homes, which we are 100% sure they're is nothing wrong with them.

    We were previously with TalkTalk, we hope to go back to them but sadly we have to wait for our contract to end before we can do so as they said they would charge a large fee to get out of the contract and we certainly don't want to give them any more money. Avoid BT Internet at all costs.

    I had been with SKY for over 14 years few small problems but always resolved quickly.

    BT I am shocked at the very poor service I have had
    No internet for best part of 5 weeks cut off while BT connected me
    and 3 engineers appointments the
    forth one did not show up!
    then its been no quicker than Sky they said it would speed up I did call BT to say that it was no quicker than my old Sky but I could not understand the man at the Indian call centre .! And im sure he did not understand me! I did ask for a call back from a UK call centre but never got a call back.
    "this has happened 3 times now"
    we use our BT phone 3or4 a day
    my first bill was £90 and my second one was £90 each month when I called them up and complained
    all I got was "well you have used you phone"
    I was told my bill would be same as my sky tv phone internet package inc all call £45 each month its been twice that
    the tv package is poor my repeat player keeps cutting out you need a masters degree in nuclear science to use the remote
    totally disappointed shocking BT
    you should be ashamed
    if your with another provider STAY PUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Welcome to the JOKE LAND of BT Business Total Broadband. So here and there you get some issues, sometimes for couple days, sometimes for weeks. Does anybody cares that you running your business online?Nope BT don't give a slip. Do you get compensation or something if you internet isn't properly working for two weeks? NOPE. Does anybody call to see if it's working now, after all you paying for the service? NOPE...So time passes and I receive phone call for renewal, they offering £2 discount and the bill would be £44.00 a month. Really? I been customer for more than 5 Years and I get £2?lol OKEY..I say I will shop around and ask if they could call me tomorrow, they don't sound too happy, plus now they tell me that I should call them back. Really is that how you treat your customers? So I found deal with Talk Talk who offers me same deal for £25.00. So today I get letter from BT saying I will need to pay £53.61 for stopping contract early. HOLD ON..it was just last week I spoke with them regarding renewal. So I call them..Now they telling me I have two different contracts, one for broadband and one for phone line..???but I never asked for two contracts. Yes but for broadband to work you need phone line. So how come they on two different contracts?Cos they two different services...Am confused. So broadband can't work without phone line but they on two different contracts even that broadband can't work without phone line. So wouldn't it be a common sense to put what is needed for broadband to work on one contract?ITS LIKE YOU SELLING A PERFECTLY RUNNING HORSE BUT WITHOUT LEGS which you need to buy separately. Plus because I didn't know that phone line was renewed somehow till October 2015 now I need to pay £53.61. My opinion is: BT DONT CARE about you or your business all BT WANTS is you MONEY.

    Awful dreadful service. Never again. I've wasted a whole day waiting for a box that they decided to cancel. Not only that but I spent 53 minutes trying to ask what happened and I was out through to four different people all as clueless as the rest

    I ordered infinity after a call from bt trying to get me to commit to a new contract. The installation immediately caused problems as they removed an extension from my hallway which was no longer suitable. I accepted this as I was expecting super fast infinity broadband. This hasn't happened!! We are constantly dropping out, speeds are not brilliant. I can't download films from Sky anymore as they removed the extension I was able to use. I cannot speak to anyone but an Indian call centre and they use the scripts and are unable to deviate. On contract until Feb 2016 (6 months in on an 18m). I wish I could get out of it, horrendous service, no customer service.
