Avoid this rubbish internet provider. Their service and customer service is useless. I have been having problems with their internet for the last 4 months. Whenever I connect using wifi to any of my devices, it says "no internet available". When friends/ family tries to connect to my wifi, it says the same thing. I rang BT on numerous occasions explaining the problem and all they can tell me over the phone is " they have done all checks on their end and everything is fine from their end". So there is nothing they can do for me because everything seems fine from their end. They said that I am getting the best signal strength although I am not getting any internet service. Do you know how frustrating it is to be told that an internet provider cannot do anything to try to resolve a problem you are facing because they cannot see a problem on their end? They wouldn't send a new hub or even an engineer to find the problem. Just absolute nothing I got from them with poor customer service. I expected better from a big company but all I got was dirt, considering I am still paying £30 a month for this service I'm not getting and not being able to come out of an 18month contract without having to pay a huge sum to exit. It is unfair, they are unreliable and useless, customer service was beyond poor and staff are rude, unhelpful and speaks to you with attitude. This company has stressed me out to the core. Once they have you, they feel they can take your money and give you 0 to nothing service. I wish I read their bad reviews before I signed up to them or I would have gone elsewhere. This company is a major disgrace. Once I am out I will never go back. Disgusting service, nasty company. |

Been with BT for over 25 years and the price increased to over £75 pm. They wouldn't budge on price so I switched. Best thing I ever did. My broadband speed has increased from 13mbps to 21mbps even though I'm on the minimum speed (and I was paying for a premium broadband speed from BT). Cost is less than 50% of what I was paying previously. |

I bought a 5-day wifi from them thinking that I will be able to connect from home. Although I live in Reading near the centre, there was no signal, not even close. |

Absolutely terrible customer services! They are billing me more that my contracted sum and cannot get anyone from customer services to resolve the matter. BT clearly do not value their customers and from my experience are totally incompetent at dealing with customer services issues. |

BT business i would never recommend this company they are not flexible at all and do not UNDERSTAND if your having probelms no compromise no help no negotiation just disgusting the experience I have had. Try other providers not BT. They just plain black and white I would say whether you can afford or not complete your full term length dont care or want to listen to your probelm. Manager was absolutely disgraceful I found. |

I cannot put into words how bad BT are. I can safely say that they are the WORSE company i have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. |

| James | Church fenton | BT | 2018-10-02 | |
If I could put no stars I would. Ive just never been through something like this in 2018 I cant get the speed higher than 2mbs and I've called them 5 times to try and sort it and apparently the fault has never gone through. They're totally unreliable. Im paying 45 gbp a month for practically no internet and no one has managed to successfully put my fault through to open reach. An absolute incompetent provider. I wish I could move! |

As soon as the contract is over with BT I will never ever use them again for anything at all. Can not say enough about how f****** awful they are. Broadband speed is okay but reliability is beyond a joke!!! I had better connections when you used to have to dial your phone line to get connected to Internet. I cannot stress enough to everyone around reading this too not go near BT! Every time I try and I mean try to get a reason or figure out why our internet doesn’t work most of the time every time the response I get is try plugging it in and out. Absolutely ridiculous! Final straw was I tried to use the online chat service and after them asking for my details several times through three different folk they ended up cutting us off! I am appalled that people still use these shower of cons |

Every 5 minutes the internet would fail and kick everyone from the internet it sometimes would go off for more than 10 minutes before it finally came back on we have had problems since October 2017 and it's not October 2018 don't waste money on this boardband it's the worst we have ever had |

There is a lack of communication between BT and me. My broadband package expired this September, but BT doesn't contact me to inform this and charged £20 extra this month. It was ridiculous to pay £63.49 to pay for the broadband package?! |

Just terrible. Have been with BT for over twenty years, the broadband has been really bad over the last five years or so. |

I cancelled because of the many price rises and when your tied into a contract there's little you can do. The service was relatively good but did go off on many occasions. Absloutley discusted with them. We cancelled well with the 30 notice and they decide that they are going to charge us for the next month and once the final bill is generated then they will refund us...after 7-10 days. Be different if we owed them. Waffle on about the terms and conditions but where's the consideration. Just out to Rob your money so glad I cancelled. Been passed about departments for an hour minutes absloute rubbish!!!! |

I wish there was an option of 0 star. Worst customer services. Charges are 2 X more than Voda and speed is also half. Can wait to get rid of them.... |

| Muhammad | Ilford | BT | 2018-09-27 | |
We moved and needing reconnecting. The date we will given didn’t go ahead and had to wait another week. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The staff really don’t care and don’t want to deal with you. I wish we didn’t sign up again and will be looking at leaving them in the future. Be aware people they take your money and don’t do what they say they will. |

i joined bt 2016 and i was very happy with them and the services that was provided until i moved in 2018, they dropped my package to the lowest speed without telling me and let me carried on paying for fibre prices and i spent 3 months down the phone arguing with them and waiting for engineers not turning up, and my contract was gonna end in october 2018 when it came close to the time they told me im in contract till february 2020 so i took on the fibre package and im only getting speeds of 0.15mbps i now want to cancel and they wont let me cause they said i have to pay the old services fees, load of rubbish they are and cant wait to get rid of them. |

I have gone to the BT web site. Entered my postcode and ordered the fastest broadband+TV package available. The technician has visited in 4 days to install (This is unbelievable right? 4 days only. What an improvement!) |

I moved into a brand new development mid July and received confirmation that I could place an order for broadband on the 31st July. I called as soon as I had the confirmation to place the order the same day. I was assured that once the hub had arrived, I needed to follow the instructions and that I should have a full working service by 3rd August. The 3rd August comes around and the hub had a steady amber light which indicates an Internet problem. I followed the troubleshooting instructions which sent a signal to BT telling them there was an issue. I received a text message the next day 4th August telling me they needed to book an engineer to attend the property and the earliest time they could do this was the 15th August. Due to the nature of my job, I am unable to take time off for scenarios like these and therefore my mother attended the property for me. The gentlemen told my mother that he couldn’t fix the problem and gave us a code which I had to relay to the BT complaints team. It turns out that Openreach had wired up the lines externally incorrectly and another engineer needed to attend to fix the lines. The earliest they could do it was exactly a week later. Wednesday comes around, the day the engineer is coming to repair the lines and the day I was promised for the 3rd time that I’d have a working connection . I receive a telephone call to say unfortunately they were unable to carry out the works and they can’t give me an indication of when it will be fixed. During this period, I’d racked up a large mobile phone bill due to data upgrades that I really needed as I was exchanging emails from the site team of the development regarding to snagging lists and meetings as well as trying to set up the other utility bills in the house. I expressed to BT that I’d had to add on this extra data due to the circumstances I have noted above. A gentlemen told me not to worry and that I would be refunded and all I needed to do was send them a copy of my mobile phone invoice. I called the day before the engineer was supposed to arrive the first time just to double check the times and also to reconfirm what was said to me regarding the data refund. The women had no idea what I was talking about and said that BT do not under any circumstances offer this kind of compensation. She opened a complaint and told me that they would look back through the pre-recorded telephone conversation and would get someone from the complaints team to call me back with a resolution to this problem. This did not happen. I was not actually offered any kind of compensation until the phone call I received from the young lad who had to tell me the engineers couldn’t fix the telephone lines. Even then, all I was offered was £50.00 credit on our account which didn’t even cover the cost of the data upgrades anyway. Any how, I get home the night of the telephone line scenario and the broadband was working. I sat there confused as to why they phoned me to tell me that the service wasn’t fixed and wouldn’t be for some time.. I tried to call to let them know the service was fixed but I never managed to get through to anybody. I had a holiday booked for the 27th August which they was aware of. Whilst I was away, I was inundated with emails telling me I still had no broadband and they didn’t know when it would be fixed. I decided to ignore these numerous messages as I was on my holiday. When I returned the broadband was working so I made another 2 phone calls and an email to tell them the service is working. A week later at 7:30am I received a phone call from an engineer who was outside my property telling me he was here to install my broadband. I had absolutely no knowledge that any visit was booked to install any broadband? I’d called them a week earlier and told them it was working.. I had to turn the engineer away and filed another complaint for the lack of communication. I come home today and the broadband hub is a steady amber light meaning there’s a problem with the connection. Just when I finally thought that the situation had been put to bed, the monster comes out the closet and here we are again waiting for an engineer to come to my property and tell me they can’t fix it again and they don’t know when it will be fixed. Here’s to another racked up phone bill which I will have to pay and a sky cinema package which is totally useless. Here’s to more emails between myself and BT and more broken promises. If I had the choice to take my service elsewhere, I would but unfortunately due to the type of internet that I can have in my property due to an arrangement between BT and the building company, I have no choice but to hand money over to company that cannot even provide a service. Nothing but stress and aggravation since the day I placed the order. Gutting. |

Terrible costumer service with poor broadband network provided i have 4g network on phone faster then their cable connection dint get any help from-the operators are just passing my call from one to other put on hold and then close the call. |

| Mario | Purfleet | BT | 2018-09-20 | |
not sure why there are so many negative reviews; we have had BT broadband/phone for 11 months now; never had any problems, fast speed (usually around 50 MBps - as 'promised') reliable landline - only reason we're (probably) going to change is that the initial 12 months discount expires... and now things get really expensive :( |

| customer 123 | Manchester | BT | 2018-09-19 | |
My first experience with BT Broadband, which was a quick fix for my VOIP requirement, is that the engineer didn't even turn up and I have to wait three more days for an update. Rubbish! |

Strongly not recommending BT!!! |

| A | Manchester | BT | 2018-09-19 | |
Diabolical customer service. They frequently fail to call back even when escalated to personal case manager. Engineers that come out are clueless and don't report back the problems, end result is order Jan and cancelled in September with no line even being fitted. |

miserable services, totally disappointed.paid £7.99 for a one-day voucher and never got the code. tried contacting customer support and all 4 operators I have asked for help have shut the chat window. |

Switched from another company to BT and had a horrible experience. Their TV service is different from their competitors (Virgin and SKY) meaning I had to rewire all the aerial/antenna system. Also, you need the tv box to be connected to the router, which is not so obvious. I have my router net to my computer for work reasons, and I cannot have my computer next to my phone line and TV at the same time. SO I had to turn my house upside down just to get the cable connected in the right place. |

Would give zero if possible. I was with EE and BT 'slammed' my line, cutting me off. EE tried to contact BT to get the line back but BT refused, I contacted them myself and got no where. I had nothing to do with this company yet they managed to cut my internet off due to their own error and then refused to fix it. No internet for 3 weeks, eventually had to leave EE and go with Virgin as they have their own phone lines. |

Utter rubbish since getting bt I have nothing but trouble always getting cut off with internet signal saying authentication problem. I reset hub more than once still didn't resolve it I restarted. Y phone making sure that wasn't the problem still didn't solve it. I can't connect to my hub and neither can my kids customer service only open till 22:45am from 7:30am no one on live chat after 22:45 I checked my service in my area it said that the was no faults which must be a load of BS I can't log in with my husbands details (as he is the account holder) kept saying I put the password in wrong to many times,even though it works when I use bt openzone when I am out and about. |

2 Years and we have had a fault every week. We have spent days off work waiting for engineers to come round, we have had our business disrupted constantly (self-employed) and lots thousands of pounds through downtime being unable to operate, we have spent the equivalent of what must now be days on the phone trying to raise fault notifications and complaints and we get nowhere. We get charged full price for a service which is operational 50% of the time. We get no compensation and ultimately, the issue never gets fixed. We are leaving. |

I had the ‘20’mb connection. Equating to roughly 1-2mb at peak times and about 4mb at its very best. Can’t even watch a film at peak times with good quality picture.rendering it near enough useless in the evening. |

Shocking customer service, read all these negative reviews before joining but thought I knew better and try it out, regretting this decision now, will see my options as I am without a phoneline and broadband since BT cancelled my Sky subscription without properly processing my order, so now left without anything for minimum 2 and a half weeks, the customer service when I rang up was the worst I've ever known, no one could help me, and the lies and deception from them to get rid of me and transfer me to department tondeoaetment was bad. |

Total rip off artists. Waited 3 weeks for an install and then 6 months layer got a charge by dd for £240! |

| Chris | Craven Arms | BT | 2018-09-13 | |
Most shocking customer service Ihave probably ever experienced ! Systems and ways of ordering are utterly shambolic ! I moved house and could not get my new service sorted despite many phone calls and hours of my time . Told something different every single time I called . Got given a 2 month post move date for activation then when tried to order new order online got given a date for a week ! It’s a complete joke of a service . I have been with lots of internet providers none of which have been great but BT tops it by a million miles as most shambolic chaotic service with systems in place that are inadequate staff that are either useless or are completely crippled in what they can do by their computer systems . Would not recommend to anyone and as soon as my contract is up I will be leaving no matter how good their tv packages are ..... it’s just not worth the hassle when things go wrong , If my dealing of problems in |

Shocking customer service - I wish I could leave and go back to Virgin but I would have to pay over £200 on the cancellation fee. |

| Darren | Cardiff | BT | 2018-09-12 | |
I got disconnected every hour for a whole year. I called their technical department every week to report it. Each call took at least 45 minutes, after being on hold, security questions and the tests they had to run. Every time, they told me there were no faults on the line, and therefore wouldn't send an engineer. |

| Ged Egan | London | BT | 2018-09-11 | |
I'm so ******* done with BT it's absolutely slowest internet I ever had!!!! Paying monthly is more than 50£ FOR WHAT???? Always disconnect's , very slow, and Then you try to contact services and after you trying to explain the issue they hang up the phone! You know you can find it better network for 50£ in month so I'm so done.! |
