The worst provider I've ever been with. The connection always goes down, is ridiculously slower than what I was told I would get when it does work, and they were 2 weeks late installing it. Couldn't hate a company more! |

I have been a bt customer for 3 years, my contract is for 42mb/sec I get about 4mb/sec tops! @£29pcm if your a day late in paying which happens to me a lot as I'm on benifets you get disconnected which includes a charge of £12.99! 5his months bill was £41.98, I spoke 5o a lovely woman in India who was quite helpfull but not overly so. BT is a terrible broadband provider when it comes to the money grabing scheme, as for the actual broadband its slow at best depending on the server your connected to, for example if your watching the YouTube it's slow to the point that 6our video will start and stick to a very low quality like 480p until you manually up it to 1080p, general Internet page searching is not fast like pre 1mb speeds however if connecting to a Microsoft server for xbox I get a good deal 40 odd mb/sec which is great. You can have all this for a mer 29 quid per month. I will not be updating my contract this time and can not recommend at all. |

BT has the worse customer service iv ever dealt with, i was happy till i moved in february 2018 and i was a fibre customer, they put me on slow internet speed and didn't tell me and made me a new contract which i couldn't get out of at the time, when they claimed to put me on fibre my download speeds dropped more than the slow speed one i was getting, so after months with poor customer service and arguing i told them where to go with there broadband, i was also a mobile customer and with out my say so they claimed i said yes to cancel my mobile deals so when i was cut off i called them for 3 days trying to get the pac code so i can keep my number, cause the sims where cut off they can not generate a pac code, they may speak english but they dont understand english, i will never use them again, and i advice anyone else to go else where and save yourself the agro. |

In the last 6 months the broadband service we receive has been unreliable ranging from 2Mbps - 6Mbps. For a week we did actually get speeds of around 15Mbps, so it is really hard to understand why the service is so very poor for the majority of the time. I'm switching from BT as my Demon Internet is much more reliable. |

I won’t bore you with the story. However take the advice and do join another provider. Even though BT are a very large company they are clearly going through some serious money issues. The service is shocking and never worked properly. They will over charge you and make it near impossible for you to get your money back. Don’t be suckered in by the introductory offer, you will be better off paying more else where and the price being fixed however still receiving good full working service. BT customer service is pathetic. Again they have cut costs with over seas call centres reducing the customer service levels. |

Multiple week delays on installation leaving me without internet for a period despite having left a generous overlap with my previous provider (Hyperoptic). Thankfully hyperoptic were able to extend my previous package without issue to cover this. My new BT internet cuts out on a regular basis. Speeds slower than previous provider. Signed up in April, 2 months later they raised my package price by 15%. Apparently I missed a letter and have now cannot dispute this. Customer service unhelpful, generally unable to answer simple questions. Very unimpressed, service with other providers has been far better. |

Absolutly disgusted with bt I'm a new broadband customer and my service was supposed to have been activated last Tuesday today a week later still no broadband.After numerous heated conversations and a visit from an engineer I still have no broadband.I have now been told another engineer will be out on Monday..Nobody seems to know what they are doing it's a wonder they have any customers if this is how they treat a new one . I will be cancelling my contract that hasn't even started. You have been warned |

I have no other option but to get in touch with of ofcom, BT should not be allowed to carry on like this, endless phone calls to bt on my mobile I might add as My landline stopped working broadband works when it feels like it, a month later and open reach has to dig the road up which will be another week. I made a complaint and bt closed it with out even asking, they are a complete shambles!!! |

Been with bt for 7 years since fibre was available in my area, I’ve got the fibre 2 package which the speeds were up until couple of weeks ago at near max 67mb, then after noticing speed was down to 45mb so I got in touch with them was told by a guy from bt that he sees the problem bangs on his keyboard for couple of mins then says give it 48 hours and it should be back to how it was, 48 hours later still the same so I get back in touch with them another guy goes through the same dummy steps and says that he’s put it on record and they will look into it, week later still the same so ring them again and explain it woman says it could be the hub so she will send one out could take 3 days to come, 3 days later no hub so get in touch with them again have to go through all the problems again with them even tho it was supposed to be on record so I wouldn’t have to explain! Anyway woman from bt says there is nothing down saying a hub was sent out and she is processing it now to get one out asap so couple days later hub arrives set it up try speed tests and it’s the same, so ring bt back up fella tells me that my speed is just over the minimum 46mb that was agreed with the contract, I try telling him that for all these years it was at max so we got the more expensive fibre 2 package now over time it’s gone down to a speed where a cheaper package would of right for us, But I hate the fact that over these years the internet price has gone up but the speed has gone down, he blamed my neighbors or closer to the exchange etc even Openreach were to blame!! Owned by bt I may add, anyway we agreed to it in contract so it’s tough poo!? Shocking company avoid peeps. |

BT broadband is terrible. My phone works faster on 4G. Keep well away. |

You will spend just as much time bwing without internet as you will with internet. Every other month you will have a full 2-3 weeks of constant disconnections which wont allow you to get anything done. |

Very poor. Unreliable more time spent trying to get reconnected. Do not bother |

| Unhappy customer | London | BT | 2018-11-01 | |
Easy to renew contract for phone and broadband. Broadband speed quoted as minimum of 53 mbps but getting only 30. Router log shows internet connection dropping out betweeb 20 and 40 times per day, generally during busy periods. Definitely not getting value for £55 per month. Telephone on same line having no problem. |

On my Dads death I took over the BT broadband account only to discover BT were ripping him off over £80 for the basic broadband service. I relayed my utter contempt and disgust and camcelled the service. Do not use BT or deal with this company is my recommendation. |

After ordering bt broadband as i was trying to move from virgin i realised the broadband was no good as i need a fixed ip address and that bt provided revolving ip addresses. |

| DPJ | Grimsby | BT | 2018-10-25 | |
Internet and phone including, for my own experience is just totally wasting of money, I regretted make the contract start at £31 and after got into £34. Don’t make contracts or deals with bt, customers services just crap and unprofessionals , unproductive. The services they provide not value and I’m sure you can find cheaper and better . They are very manipulative without having a clear payment at the end of the monthly also they don’t informed you about the prices going up. |

Continually bad broadband service. BT told me that there are too many people connecting to the broadband service in the local area at the same time! Apparently this is not their problem! Awful people. |

| Halil | Devon | BT | 2018-10-23 | |
BT is a totally unethical company. They hike the price and send a single email giving you 30 days and the email is not clear that the price is going up and you can cancel the contract without any penalties. You only find out once the direct debit goes through showing the higher price. Price hike is more that 15%. I will not be using BT ever again once my contract runs out early next year. When I extended my contact last December it said renew and your price will not increase, be careful as this is not true because any "general" BT price hike can still be passed on to you, so not worth the paper it is written on. Do not trust BT at all. |

My family has been paying £50 for fibre for the last 6 months. We are getting 50% packet loss and our speed is less than standard broadband. In a futile attempt to ask them to fix it, we had them cut us off on the phone twice and haven’t tried to contact us since. I sent them an email 3 weeks ago with no reply. |

| Callum Boot | Torquay | BT | 2018-10-21 | |
Hidden charges if you cancel early. called to see how much it would cost to end the contract and they told me £15, the bill came and it was an extra £70 - not trustworthy |

Customer service appalling |

| Ben | London | BT | 2018-10-19 | |
Was tricked out of switching - BT agreed monthly to match an equal competitor - they reneged 4mths in..just counting 6 months left of contract so BT can be excluded from my future... |

| Techy_G | Bristol | BT | 2018-10-18 | |
Ridiculous customer service, any given time of the day, any given time of the year. Their broadband diconnects pretty much regularly without any mistakes from our side and when a customer service representative is being asked about any failures they ask “how are we to know what’s going on?” |

Haven’t even had broadband from them. Signed up over two weeks ago. Got told I would be connected and have internet by 12am on the 12/10 (over a week after I signed up). Engineer turned up and “sorted” everything. 13/10 and no internet. Get an email saying I’d have internet by 23/10. Both my partner and myself rely on the internet for work. I called them and the person I spoke to advised there was an issue with the exchange and said she has spoken to the engineer manager and manages to pull it forward to the 18/10. Got a text message 17/10 saying it would be the 23/10 again. Called and was advised they could not get an engineer out and I would have to wait for the original date. They will not compensate for the money my partner and I have lost in wages due to having no internet as we are not commercial customers. Called Virgin Media and they said they would send router out and would have internet in TWO DAYS. No engineer required. Never been more angry in my life. |

the worst isp we've ever been with. currently getting speeds of approx 0.5mb/s and 600ms ping. called the customer service several times, they have been no help. lost cause of a service. also it became apparent that when we bought fibre optic and they installed it, they were supposed to install a new splitter for the phone/internet line but they left us with an old outdated one. outstanding. |

| Cade | Clitheroe | BT | 2018-10-17 | |
Approximately a year in contact and all I can say is a year of poor service. First months spent complaining of connectivity but my husband gave up. We get cut off all the time, on acsessability to customed downloads!! Why I ask? Do not choose this provider. I’m so frustrated as my husband has to use his 4g in the house to access email. This can’t be right. Help or advise needed!!! |

Absolutely ridiculous service. I have been with BT for years. Recently I decided to change providers because the cost of their service is just ridiculous in comparison to other similar services. After switching provider to the Post Office I received a call from a BT customer support agent. The agent promised me a reduced price at £20 and included a £50 gift voucher to keep me to stay. After 3 months, still no sign of the gift voucher and emails about it ignored. The price has gone up to £24 without any warning. Avoid at all costs. |

BT is a serious thief in this country we, their customer services team are a big lairs wasting our times, I have been suffering from them for more than one year, they not canceling my contract and not fixing the problem, in addition to all that they overcharging me every month and always I have spend many hours speaking with their rubbish team, really we should bring those thief to the court and it must not be allowed steal people, we should not just write a review we should act to bring those to the court, I am going to make claim for compensation, because they did not let me to cancel it |

| Salar | Burton on Trent | BT | 2018-10-13 | |
It's so bad. For years it has droped out, slows down and just does not work. We have been with BT for years, it's been really bad for the last five. The support team exists, but they are experts on sending people on a wild goose. We must have spent weeks on the phone with them over the years. Unfortunately, if you leave, you lose your email addresses. So it feels like a bit of a trap. I would advise anybody to avoid if you can, there are much better and more reliable providers for the money. |

| Christopher | Dorset | BT | 2018-10-13 | |
Very disappointed. Raised our price after a yer from 33 to 54 quid, this is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. By reading more and more reviews I see that that seems to be the problem with everyone all the time. They value drawing in customers and screwing them over and you better be sure as hell that I am NOT coming back to them ever again. You can catch me at TalkTalk getting higher speed, reliability AND lower prices. We're paying for what exactly with BT? Most of the times I'd have my connection drop, their customer service is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND and they screw you over without even notification, an email maybe like HEY dudes, we're gonna raise your internet price with 21 quid now? Naaaah... who gives a crap about the customers themselves right? |

I am very unhappy with BT. I have had many problems since joining the latest today is my new expensive iPhone charge is not working after a few weeks of having the phone and Bt said even under warranty they will not replace it very disappointed |

| Sonia | Chigwell | BT | 2018-10-13 | |
The hours i have spent on the phone to this company is beyond belief. AVOID in the end switched to XNL for business very professional and great communications and they answer the phone within 5 seconds. Should the big wigs be brought in front of a parliamentary committee and drilled about why they are providing a unacceptable service! |
