Joined bt back in November my live date was the 30th broadband and landline was dead rang bt and they too me it was a fault on the line I got told numoures dates to go live it didn't happens no end of phone calls complaints still nothing done then Friday 28th Dec and bt customer services rang me admitting their was no fault it was the local supplier for the area who hadn't done the work in the beginning they told me I couldn't switch provider as the fault would still be there I've spoken to no end of call handlers and each one lie threw their teeth this company has the worst customer services I've ever dealt with every time I ring I get told 2 days one week and so on a outside company needs to go in and sort them out do not change to bt |

I get BT broadband for free and I still don’t want it. Giving one star is to much. BT have the cheek to portray that the average customer rating is three star. I don’t think so. One star is more like it. Keep well away from any BT service unless you want to throw money away and go back to the 1980’s. |

My issue was overcharging, I agreed a price for a 12 month contract but was overcharged and the refund was agreed but I never received the refund. BT signed me up to another contract charged me £80 in equipment fees and wasn’t willing to reimburse me. Very bad experience. |

Been with BT for many years now, consequently the most frustrating years of my life. The Broadband that BT provides is a mess. Exaggerated WiFi speeds / lieing about WiFi Speeds. Every day my WiFi goes down for no reason. BT have brought me closer to ending it all than anything else. If you're reading this. DO NOT BUY BT. DO NOT |

BT have just upgraded my broadband, during the upgrade there was an accidental break in service. I reported this at about 1700 on 27 December. A smart engineer arrived at 1100 on 28 December and tracked the fault back from the house to the cabinet, including checking the incoming wiring. All was fixed by 1230. First rate service. I also ended up with a SIM card that I didn't need, this was cancelled with a minimum of fuss. Thank you BT |

The worst internet money can buy I think bt has the worst internet quality it constantly turns off won’t connect me and they don’t offer fiber in my area depriving hundreds of people internet a really poor service |

After getting well and truly sick of BT saying 'there is nothing wrong our end' when failing miserabely to resolve the uk's worst broadband ever, I feel this statement really means 'we are still stealing a lot of money out of your bank account and giving you next to nothing in return despite knowing we are breaking our contract'. Our BB keeps dropping every few minutes, can barely stream anything of which in this day and age is a crime given the legitimate streaming services we pay a lot of money for. Yesterday I did a speed test getting 0.7mb but they are charging me for 50mb (nothing wrong our end then eh). After several phone calls and endless tech walkthroughs they literally said there is nothing more they can do and I have their 'refuse' package until July 2019. It sickens me to the core. We have brand new laptops and phones etc and they ALL drop BB frequently (but nothing wrong our end). They even suggested putting a BB signal booster between the BB router and our laptops of which is approximately 5 feet away in direct view? They even suggested hard wiring our laptops so that we have ethernet cables lying all over the living room floor? They make my blood boil and cannot stomach the name BT never mind all the rubbish they spout. Until the day I draw my last breath I will NEVER EVER have their Fisher price equipment in my house again (no offence Fisher price at least your stuff worked!) |

Always slower than what you are paying for. Done with BT. |

First off, a one star rating for their reliability and customer service is still an overstatement. We have had issues from the start of joining them and it hasnt got better. The internet is more unreliable than anything, we thought Virgin Media were bad but currently the only thing we can rely on from BT is a lack of help from support and our internet to die. They have come out and replaced our cables as that was apparently the issue but shock horror, we are still suffering and will be without internet in the house over christmas. If you are looking to join BT i would look elsewhere, i think a potato is more reliable. |

Complained to BT about our Broadband constantly dropping out, each time I did this BT advised me to get a better, faster Deal, a new contract. Now we are paying over £50 a quarter. We tried to end our Contract and were advised we had to pay £216 if we pulled out. We still loose connection from time to time and BT say they don't guarantee constant connection. They said, "Complaining on social media can be effective" lol check out Facebook posts, EFFECTIVE? Are you kidding? We have been bludgeoned into paying more and more each time we have complained, by telling us to upgrade to this and that, and I'm sure we are not alone? Did this ever happen to YOU? We had an Openreach engineer sent out to our home to fix the fault by BT? Great he found out what was wrong, fixed the problem. All good then? No. The engineer went out to his Openreach Vehicle and filled in his report stating No problems found? WHY? Because BT-Openreach would get away with paying Compensation to Customers if the report states this. BT allowed this, turned a blind eye. Now today if the Engineer finds a fault in your home you have to pay a fee of £75. Is that the same TRUSTED Engineer from OPENREACH sent out by BT? Yes it is. |

Several weeks ago I reported problems with my router, far from the three days as promised on the adverts, I am still waiting. Every time I speak to BT customer service they assure me that they have placed an order for one to be sent, each time I check my order History and nothing has been sent. My complaint has been escalated to the highest level and was given final assurances that my new router has been sent, but the same thing has happened again. Please avoid BT at all costs. |

Avoid avoid avoid. Can't believe how disappointed I am. Ordered the service on 29/11. Was supposed to be active 6/12. Nothing happened and I called the customer service. They said the engineer made a mistake and it will be activated 11/12. Nothing happened. Called the customer service and they said the engineer is rescheduled for 16/11. Northing happened. Same stuff happened again and the next "activation date" is 19/11. Bt has one job and that is to turn my broadband on. They have failed to do that simple task for 3 weeks now. I would never recommend anyone to change their service to BT. |

Unbelievable. Broadband speed is awful. BT don’t guarantee speed of WiFi in my house only wired connection. BT TV hasn’t been working for 3 months. They will only send out an engineer only if I agree to pay £85 if the fault is in my house? Don’t trust them! Poor poor service!! I was with Sky for 10 years. Not one problem. No one. |

Do not use this service. I have been locked in a contract for 24 months now and cant wait to leave. Monthly prices have been upped 4 or 5 times during this time and I now pay almost £50 for a broadband only service. Never again |

The worst service I have ever been in contact with. Booked an installation, took a day off work and no-one turned up. BT told me the engineer came at 3.30pm but I was waiting all day, so basically a lie. I re-booked for another day and called BT twice to make sure they would come, they told me on both occasions that someone would definitely attend this afternoon. Called them a third time and BT said that the appointment was changed for the next day, without bloody telling me. I cancelled straight away, I am not paying some muggy company my hard earned cash even and this is even before the initial installations. |

LN12DF, Paid for 60mb-80mb Broadband but actually receiving constant 29.3-29.5mb, and there has been no Dial Tone since Friday on landline!. This is paid for BT Broadband Super Fast Fibre II: and this a breach of contract since Friday 07/12/2018. Hope anyone working for the Telecom Regulators, Ofcom read this. Now on telephone line: 0800 800 150 and usual BS about sending out an engineer and a callout FEE. Same script different day. |

I have been having issues with the router since mid October, contacted BT on numerous occassions, speaking most of the time to rude staff who were sending me instructions for hub 5 or smart hub while I have got hub 4! They were aware as they had asked before. Asking me to split connection, etc. Ended up with having 3 engineers who ordered new hub for me. It didn't arrive so I contacted them, they don't know anything about it! Once it arrived, the speed has dropped so complained again, then they sent me some texts and asked to reply what would cost me extra money. In addition, on one occassion I asked when my broadband contract would expire, lady told me the 4th of January. I rang them at the beginning of December to cancel, I was told that line rental contract expires on that day, broadband contract in July. So lazy! Honestly, I'm fuming, never had such bad issues with Sky or Virgin. I can't wait the contract to be finished! |

BT custemer for phone many years and broadband for a few years. Switch to Fibre but had 9 days without broadband due line not set up. First person claim ethernet cable and would take 5 works to receive this to sort problem which was wrong and needed engineer. 6 days after second person said engineer required. spoke to rude line manager offer £10 as complaint. then tried to charge £85 for the engineer which was the incorrect as previous showed under £50. finally had engineer solve broadband and he confirmed normally no charge for fibre set up. spoke to second link manager about complaint again poor service and like previous manager lied about complaint service at BT. not all staff are bad as previously spoken to other members in other offices and ok. Broadband staff are just poor at everything. BT just rubbish and I would never use them again |

If you plan switching to BT, beware they would cut your existing broadband service on Friday morning and leave you whole weekend and bank holiday without Internet connection - which has happened to me. And they won't give you any compensation either. What they boasted "Switching today, connected tomorrow" is totally ******** and lie. BE CAREFUL!!! |

I bought a BT broadband in 2016 and then renewd on 17.In 2018 when i was getting a problem with their speed download/upload speed and worst customer service experience ever i had in life, decide to change my provider spoken to BT few times about my last day of ending contract and so on. after switching provider (in process)after few days later received an email from BT stating that i need to pay £86 for cancallation fee due to i am in contract with them till 2019. So i contacted BT customer service lady doesn't know what she is talking about and all the time TRYING to selling me BT package in a different ways. which i said NO for any package after waiting 45 min over the phone, customer service lady mentioned me i had renew my contract in arpil 18 for next 12 month contract. which i was completely disagreed with her as why would i will buy a new contract when i am already in contract and new contract is more expensive then old contract thirdly i had not received any emails or notifcation that about new contract or switching to new contract. |

Following resetting of an e-mail password by an Indian call centre techie my e-mail stopped working. A quick call to 150 got me to Ireland where I was fed a line of utter BS yet promised a call back by an expert at a set time. |

BT are rubbish. Decided to use two cans and some string. Send message by pigeon was much faster . Don't call them for advise as will bring out a side of you you did not know was in you. I turned into a monster because they are robot's spuying out pointless tech advise you have tried before you called them .charge you a fortune to tell you to switch it off and on again. |

This company is shocking I moved into my new home and gave 2 weeks notice to BT that I was moving. I spoke to home move team who explained I will be getting my hub posted and a engineer was booked also, I was happy with that set up. |

I have been left lots of equipment I can’t use and been without broad band service for over a month just received another delay confirmed today . if u wise avoid bt and go elsewere |

| Michelle rainey | Northern iteland | BT | 2018-11-29 | |
Absolutely shocking, would not recommend to anyone, waited nearly a month for connection still waiting, was told if I cancel and go to another provider that everyone goes through open reach and I would start all over again and would end up waiting longer, guess what a week after that get a call from bt saying they have cancelled my order by mistake and guess what got to start again, wished I'd gone elsewhere, it's more like customer we don't care. |

| Antony Jones | Shavington Crewe | BT | 2018-11-27 | |
Terrible customer service. Needed to switch to a new account after other flatmate moved out but we were already using BT. They had no problem turning off our broadband but haven't set up a new connection. Get fobbed off every time I call with no one taking action or accountability to see our problem to resolution. I have to call every time and explain the problem and then get connected through to a different person where I have to explain again. Would never have gone with them if I had read the reviews first. |

Worst experience of my whole business career. I don’t want to go into deatil as I simply don’t want to waste anymore time. Ended up costing my company thousands. Find another supplier for business phone and broadband. |

| Andy Gray | Ayr | BT | 2018-11-23 | |
Absolutely disgusted with BT! Have cancelled service within 14day cooling off period because they have failed to instal my new phone line and broadband on 2 occasions and failed to send engineer despite promising a visit todaySpent hours and talked to many agents on phone to no avail so have cancelled the service.BT are utter rubbish and I advise you to avoid them like the plague! |
