The most disgraceful customer service ever. All the staff are ridiculously unhelpful and have done nothing but make our lives miserable for the past 3 months. The internet did not work for 3 months and every time we called for help either someone was misleading, the staff lied or hung up during the middle of the call. Appalling service and internet connection. This company should be ashamed of the name they have built for themselves as so many people are complaining about them and so many unhappy customers. We have been lied to and spent most evenings on the phone to customer service instead of relaxing at home with the family. Tragic company and customer service. Would not recommend BT to anyone as they take you money and provide you nothing. After 14 years of being their customer I am shocked by what we have experienced. |

Terrible, the so called 'off shore' Team should be abandoned and technical support brought back to this Country, they are blatant liars and completely incompetent, say they will call back and never do, falsify their tickets with lies, disgusting. |

Was only with these cowboys for less then 2 week. They had me on the wrong package so called to tell them which they assured me would be sorted and someone would call me back after 2 days, no phone call so called again to be told sorry nothing has been done and we have no idea something had to be. They did nothing at all on the phone but did cut me off, so I called back and cancelled which they didn’t even hesitate to do. Now I’m without internet and have transferred back to Virgin. STAY away from BT, absolutely poor customer service. |

After being with TT for many years of trouble free service. I got a call out of the blue from a BT telesales person, who basically lied to me that I would save a lot of money by switching to BT, which I fell for. What a mistake, it was never the price that was given to me, we couldn't receive incoming calls for 6 weeks, which they couldn't explain or fix, no matter how many times I called their useless helpline. After being with them for several months, the set top box would only tune to Welsh TV channels, which was permanent, no matter how many times it was retuned. The helpline is useless, their only advice was to retune the box, or it was the TV aerial, I told them I had retuned it 10 times or more, and it was a new aerial, then to be told " I don't know what we're going to do ". The final straw came when after 8 months they notified me that my bill was to be increased by £25 per month. This was just for a basic service. I cancelled my direct debit and just lately I have been receiving letters from a debt collecting agency, demanding substantially more than a months BT payment plus 25 percent what BT added for administrative cost. DONT USE BT THEY ARE A LYING THEIVING JOKE. |

I had a website built by BT. They tied me up in a contract, the contract ended but I continued to pay and use their services. I transferred the service and they continued to charge. I cancelled and had to cancel via two separate departments and they refused to refund any money due to not informing them. |

BT have an OK broadband speed, this is not just me but other people I have spoken to. However they also have a very poor customer service, and broadband reliability is something which almost doesn’t exist when you’re with BT. Internet randomly shuts off, currently using my mobile data to write this review because the internet shut off again would you believe it or not. Wouldn’t recommend, go for Virgin Media instead. |

Very disappointed. Worked well for 9 months then problem after problem and poor customer service. Helpful and polite people but sent around the houses. Ie told what I wanted to hear. We think problem is router. One will be with you in 48hrs. Someone then tells me order was cancelled. Another tells me it was never ordered. No Wi-fi for weeks. A member of staff hung up on me on live chat. No I want rude. Told today problem was with my devices ie suggesting I ring 6 manufacturers and complain to them. |

Signed up for 18 month contract and Paying for SUPERFAST FIBRE Advertised Average speed is 50Mb. Only getting 0.01Mbs!! phoned the call centre and they say my guaranteed speed is only 0.5Mbs!!!. They said it said this in the small print on the contract and laughed at me saying " Ha Ha Ha.. You did not read the small print" upgrade to the fastest service, I am already paying for the fastest service available, why am I being charged for premium service and getting slower than dialup? I work from home and can't work, it very frustrating and my employer is not impressed I could lose my job over this.I have spent 12+ hours trying to be understood by a foreign call centre. They won't do anything to try and help me BT don't care if I loose my job over this!!! |

I have three problems which have not yet been resolved although I have contacted customer service +20 times. No help from online chat or when phoning customer service. |

| Mark Klamberg | Oxford | BT | 2018-08-23 | |
Bt are an absolute disgrace, 3 weeks waiting for a refund, told I would get a call back almost daily, still not sorted, customer service is next to non, there's been 2 advisors out of all of them I've spoke to that have actually tried to help. Getting through to someone that knows what they are talking about is a mission in itself. Very unhappy ex customer! |

Had a great service until after 2 years with broadband the contract ends and I end up getting charged £50, for 2 months in a row. |

BT are without any shadow of a doubt the WORST company of any of the telephony provides. Their customer service is SHOCKING, we tried to cancel our domestic line, they incorrectly cut off our business line and broadband. We are a retail business and could not take card payments for a week. To cap it all they tried to charge us to reconnect even after they admitted it was their error and tried to tell us we were in a new contract as a result. They really shouldn't have the name "British" in their title, they are a disgrace to this country. Ive had to spend countless hours on the phone to them, and with their overseas call centres getting anything done is nigh on impossible, assuminy you can actually understand the person you are talking to. I will be ditching BT business in favour of Virgin Media business (I have Virgin Media at home now), they may not be perfect but they are a darn sight better than BT |

I have been with BT Broadband since FTTC became available in 2015. I have no complaints at all. Performance has been fast and rock solid, although I have been using my own router rather than the BT HUb. Customer service has been very good (by phone and on-line chat). The cost is on the high side but I am reluctant to switch to cheaper and probably worse competitors. One last point, this is an honest review of my experience with BT as a customer. I have no oher relationship with the company. |

BT Broadband- The Worst Customer service I’ve ever Experienced. I signed up for BT TV and broadband having recently moved house. The installation was meant to be free but they charged me £59. Called to complain and was told the refund would be in my account within 24 hours. One week later had to call again as still no refund. Finally got that money back a few days later. |

Our whole experience with BT has been terrible 6 weeks to get connected, countless calls to customer service, been on hold for countless minutes 55 minutes one day!! Miss informed, cut off, passed to 5 different departments. Finally up and running, we have fibre but it drops off. TV package is a joke wish we had stayed with sky |

I have been with BT for 10 years and watched their customer service slide and slide to the point they are unreliable and take a long time and a lot of calling to resolve basic problems. Staff vary in knowledge and helpfulness. |

It took years for this company to learn the lesson of having UK based call centres. Now it needs to stop spending vast sums on t.v. advertising,computerised answer systems and its preoccupation with the idea that all the customer wants is to watch sport,especially soccer. This company needs to invest in PEOPLE. To improve the dismal customer care they currently provide.I simply want to ring up, talk to a human who can provide the information or help required or connect me with another human who can.Unfortunately that would require an outbreak of common sense and upset the share-holders.The company is ,however, extremely adept when increasing the price of service.This no doubt makes the share-holders happy and profits can be spent on adverts to avoid over-taxation.There must be better out there... |

I left sky to move to bt only because I wanted bt sports for the champions league and sky was not offering that service. It like leaving an ok relationship in search for a better one but instead find yourself in a worse relationship but u can not leave because of the kids. In this case bt is bad relationship and the contract is the kids. The customer service team is really poor at their job. I woke up this morning with my services down, I phone in and the first adviser I spoke with hang the call off because I asked him to give me 5 minuets to find my customer number, when I phone back in to explain what I went through with the first customer service advisor he didn’t stop to think that I am not happy but better still talk over me. I then tried to explain that I make arrangements to clear up my account on Friday 17th August he went in confrontation mode saying my account was blocked because I didn’t pay my bills and the extension time slot is 7days. I tried to make him understand that bt customer service team is really poor at their job just by everything I experienced that I can’t recommend anyone to bt. This isn’t the first time. It is the fourth times this happening the first three was my internet being very slow but for every time when I call back in to cancel my services I will speak to one of the good once I was asked to upgrade my service. Right now I can only take enough if this continues, my only option is to leave and for me personally I won’t recommend anyone to use this service. |

On 6th of July a month in advance I made a call to bt customer service and asked to close my account and stop providing services when my contract ends which is 6th. Bt guy said that my contract ends on 15th of August, I asked to confirm that I won't be charged any extra money and I will be refunded £43 because I'm paying upfront, and the BT guy confirmed that is correct. Now turns out BT guy was lying, I still have BT service and I was charged £58 and not refunded !!! |

It's just rubbish,my previous provider was so much better, in fact my non fibre broadband was more reliable.BT haven't come up with a reason and despite this and whilst I'm paying £33 per month they have the cheek to tell me last month that they are to increase my |

I didn't get past the first hurdle with BT. I called them, as a potential new customer, to just enquire about a deal. I found a deal that suited me, but emphasised I would not make a commitment before I had a chance to think. Foolishly I gave my address, phone number and email, but happily no bank details. Soon after I had emails showing I had an account and a start date. I thought this was wrong as I had not agreed to this, but thought I would go with this, any way. The start date didn't suit me, so I called to change it. It took them 52 minutes to answer, by which time I was seething. I decided if this is typical customer service then I would cancel the order, that I had not agreed to. Bad way to treat people BT and I'll have nothing to do with your dodgy business practices! |

Absolutely disgusting. I was having connection and speed issues with my old provider "NOW TV", and was promised the world if i moved to BT. What i signed up for was BT infinity with all calls just as NOW TV at supposedly £38.00 per month. What i got was a huge bill in the first month for calls made to Poland which they failed to include in my mi-sold package. The usual messing around online and on the phone persued, and they then had to increased my package price to £45.00 (naughty naughty), to include the international calls which NOW TV actually provided for £38.00 and which i was promised. Another week or two and i receive a letter in the post informing me of another price increase of up to around £50.00 per month to keep my package. Again i complained and was told i could have my package frozen at £45.00 if i renewed my contract (naughty naughty). After a long discussion with an adviser i was told that i was also actually paying for sport channels which i never asked for. I took his advice and had the package changed yet again, and was fairly happy with the service at £45.00 per month. Then my speed and connection problems came for another visit and i spent hours on the phone trying to sort it with another technical adviser. It was found to be a faulty router which i was promised was the best thing since sliced bread when they mis-sold me the original package. A new router was sent and we all had fun re-signing passwords once again. Then my next bill came in!!!! £61.19. I was by this time furious and sent some choice word emails and once again messed around on the phone and online. THREE times i was dis,connected from a live chat and nobody wanted to help. After blowing my fuse and making threats of desertion i was told sorry Mr Stephens but they have made a mistake with your call plan and have charged you for local and international calls. They had also messed up in both June and July and simply added the extra cost to your new bill, but here`s £7.00 back as a refund.."yeh right".. Absolutely disgusting. I have now cancelled my contract and moved on because of their persistent errors and incompetence. Now they call me and tell me i have to pay a fee of over £400 for leaving a mis-sold contract to early. "Bring it on BT". I am so looking forward to our day in court when your incompetence and persistent lies are made public. |

The most appalling customer service I have ever received. Few months ago I received an email offering me 2gb extra on my sim at no extra cost ,oif I sign up for 18 months contract. My mistake, I fell into this trap and signed up to this deal. I received an email from BT explaining that you will now receive extra 2GB but my bill would increase by £10 more. I spoke to several customer service people and complaint was open long time ago with no resolution. Early last month one of their agents advised me that I have two separate accounts with Bt one for mobile and one for land line and broadband if I merge these accounts my mobile data allowance will double up from 8 to 16 GB at no extra cost and he will also resolve billing issue for me. Again my mistake it’s been weeks neither my data has doubled up nor my billing has been resolved. My complaint was escalated to level 2 and I was told that they will sort it within 5 days. Yesterday on completion of 5 day deadline I spoke with BT and I have now been told that department is very busy and they don’t know how long this will take to settle. Furthermore since merging two accounts extra services which are offered by the BT eg parental control, web protection have been locked and I am unable to make any changes to their settings. I have reported this issue to broadband tech support team separately on multiple occasions but in spite of their promises no one has been able to resolve this issue either. It appears that departments are not talking to each other and they have a field team responsible to sort out some of the issues but other departments have no phone access to field team. I feel so frustrated and angry with such poor customer experience and don’t know where to go next. All customer service advisors speak in a very polite manner and apologise for the inconvenience multiple times but no actions are taken to resolve the complaint. No one is willing to take ownership and every time you ring your call ends up in a different office and every time I have to start telling them my issue from start. It is so depressing. |

Absolute rubbish.no broadband for over 9 days so far still not back on. Phoned numerous times to be told it'll be on within 48hours and it still hasn't. Been hung up on twice. Can't understand the foreigners. You'll be waiting for ever just until someone picks up the phone! Most useless company ever to deal with |

Poor all round service, BT need to get rid of the off shore Indian contingent they are at best incompetent. Also beware of which support number you use to call them they have the cheek to actually charge you for them to rectify their issues. Also the Broadband speed is poor most of the time however the service remains reliable. I dread having to call their support service which is simply awry, disorganised and quite simply rubbish. |

| Steve Hurley | Lichfield | BT | 2018-08-10 | |
This has to be the worst service we have ever had from any provider. On going issues from 24 hrs after install. 5 months on still not resolved to be constantly told there are no faults. So why do we have no broadband or phone line working???? |
| |||
| Lisa Hall | Fife | BT | 2018-08-10 | |
Firstly my reason for writing this review is that they mis sold my family to a worst broadband not telling us we would lose are fibre place. And for several months we've been hetically trying to find a solution and BT and EE have not co operated or taken action.Secondly they surprised us with nearly doubling the amount of money we had to pay for our monthly contract. And our broadband has become more slow. We are deeply disappointed with BT after being a customer with them for more than 8yrs. And we don't recommend using BT. If it was possible i would of loved to give it zero stars. |
