Money grabbing is all they are good for. Poor speed, connection always disconnecting and tv programs buffer due to premium programs coming through the internet at poor speeds. To top it off when my contract finished and told them I was going to virgin they charged a fee of £31 to disconnect my broadband. Avoid at all costs. Even the money they give out for joining doesn't turn up.

This is the worst internet provider I have ever had, and I come from what the UK would consider a 3rd world country.
The reliability is horrific as internet goes down every 2 hours for no apparent reason. Sometimes it goes down for up 6 times in a row which makes it impossible to do anything really.
Took 2 weeks to replace a router (which I suspected as the being the problem at first).
Speed is mediocre as well.
I do not recommend this internet provider to anyone unless you enjoy getting angry often.

BT provide the most atrocious, awful, poor, unacceptable, unsatisfactory and the worst and most terrible internet ever. I have been with many different internet providers and BT of all services has absolutely shocked me with how godawful their service is. BT say they are supposedly and I quote "the most best and fastest internet provider" out of all the internet providers in the UK. Well if you as the public people want a real and honest answer then here it is. BT are such false advertisers and it is completely ripped off the internet for over 1 whole year now has been turning itself on and off every 1 minute so for every 5 minutes our internet switches itself on and off about 20+ times and that is completely ridiculous they do not provide any satisfactory customer service whatsoever and I say their company and everything else is a complete failure to themselves and to me, my family and everyone else who is still with then at the moment because I don't know if anyone else is having too many issues to count but if so don't be shy at all to speak out because I am no longer staying with with dread nightmare awful and absolutely God dam horrendous service any more i get more data from my ee data plan (4g) so that says it all. Thank you for my service.

We have had BT Broadband for about 10 years. The first years were pretty good with download speeds in the 3Mbps range. Then we started to get truncation which would make games laggy and frustrating but we thought, hey, new technologies are on their way and BT is worth supporting. This past year or so things have gone from bad to worse and my 'hobby' is speaking to polite but powerless call centre staff who tell me that I have no problems. I have dropouts numerous times a day, an IP profile that has fallen to 0.5Mb as a result and numerous visits by Openreach to make the problem go away for a week or two only. Birstall is a slow spot now it seems but nobody has reduced my £26/month service charge to match.

Thinking of switching to BT Broadband, DONT. I switched from Talk Talk due to slow speeds and poor customer service but believe me TalkTalk seems to be infinitely better than BT. Firstly we were left 1 week without internet connection at the switch. A very poor standard of call centre customer service officer told us that the problem was the Hub that they sent us. They sent a second which also didn't work so an engineer was called who got us up and running. It was not the hub at all. Unfortunately we now find that the speed is well below the TalkTalk speed we tried to move away from. The final irony is that our internet speed is so slow that we can't even run the BT speed tester!

I thought BT was a premier supplier we what a disappointment. Suffered 4 months of poor service after numerous calls engineers working on i still have a problem. Basically the product is not fit for purpose and you have to pay extra to sort their faulty product. Stay well away from BT

Where do I start, BT are a complete shambles. I only live just outside of a major town but the best they can give me is 2 meg. I dont want to pay more for FTC as I think this will be crap as well. At present the superb technological giant of BT can manage to deliver is 0.5m. I have had endless calls to their customer help desk, a singular example of an oxymoron if ever there was one. I have had visits from engineers, I have had new routers, in the end somebody at BT with an IQ bigger than their hat size could work out that its their stupid copper phone line we might get somewhere. Unfortunately they seem to busy escalating it to another team who wont call you at the agreed time and even worse will still not do anything about the issue. I think we couls all club together and send the CEO of BT a torch and a mirror because thats the only way he/she could find there own backside.

Horrendous wi-fi and terrible customer service
Options
on 12-11-2016 14h08
50 minutes on the phone to try to ask when I can get out of my contract....
The reasons are:
Having recently migrated to BT from another provider (fibre to standard broadband) i was left for over a week without any services, somehow my socket had become faulty.....
Once this was working I started to notice that I had no wi-fi in my other rooms in the house. I tried resets, everything, but still no wi-fi.
Deciding to call bt for assistance I was informed I could "Purchase" a super router 6 which would give me a better signal... (I didn't care about the quality of signal, just as long as I had a signal, which I didn't have).
So here it is folks...
Join BT, lose service for 7 days
Experience Broadband like no other, ie no broadband or wi-fi in other parts of the house
Customer service, terrible beyond belief.
I personaly can't wait to leave BT so I'm waiting for the end of my contract as BT will penalise me for leaving a terrible service.....
Disgusting

READ THIS GUYS!!!
I never write these but I've had enough now! I'm having to do this on my mobile because my internet has crashed again and India (who can't understand me at all or are aware of the details on my account at all) decided that it's the line which was tested on the Thursday by an engineer to be fully functional!
Since I joined BT I've had nothing but problems. Lied to on the phone and once a month I pay for nothing!
I moved into my grandads house after losing my job and having to move back home it took me 4 months to finally give in and think why not I'm still paying for it I might as well get internet installed till the end of the year.
I asked the guy on the phone for BT if my grandad could keep his home number and I have a seperate one for my internet, the landline was provided by talk talk. They said that was fine oh was I mislead!
When the engineer installed the hub he gave me a new number and everything was working fine then I got a call from BT to confirm my number transfer and once again I asked them if my grandad would keep his number they said yes.
Long story short they cancelled my deal with talk talk stole my grandads number and used it for my broadband. So now my grandad has to be calmed down each morning before I go to work because he can't ring my mum to let her know he's ok. The phone line has been cut off by talk talk. He has Alzheimer's for God sake you sick people BT! Just because you can't listen!
4 weeks he hasn't had a landline! Now my internet has stopped working AGAIN!!! I want to take this to court and make them pay for this!
To fix the whole problem they tried to charge me 50 quid!! I'm stuck in limbo now with no internet and no landline thanks to BT's award winning customer service well fuck you BT! All you cause is upset and more money added onto the bill!!! Read this and know I will be taking action legally against you if I can afford it after you ripping me off for over a year!!!

Been using BT since dial-up days.Cannot recall any occasion where I've been annoyed by an interruption in service.
Download Speed is reasonable at 26 Mb/s but not as fast as advertised.
Complacent but happy I guess.

I recently moved from talk talk to bt on their infinity 1 package and took the tv starter so i could get the sport channels on my tv.
The transfer of the telephone line went smoothly but the broadband disconnected and didnt come back on, i waited until the following day to contact them, as i know you are advised that it can take up to midnight.
When i got through the lady was very helpful, she explained there was a fault on the fibre line which is why it wasnt activated on that day. She explained that it was scheduled for 2 weeks time and she would look to expedite the date and contact me on the following monday.
Unfortunately i had missed the call on the monday, so i called back in and spoke to another gentleman who told me that he could not do anything about the date and instead gave me a credit of £55.95 to cover my activation fees and the delivery of the hub.
I then got a phone call from the lady on the tuesday who explained she had managed to get the date moved forward and the broadband was activated on the following day.
Yes i was without broadband for 1 week but they were so helpful getting the service activated for me and ensuring i wasnt out of pocket for my troubles.
When the football season started at the start of august i was made aware of the increase in the cost of sport, i had a feeling there would be a charge for the european football package, £5 i can live with.
I decided to get the sports in hd on the day of the community shield and was told that i could have it free for 3 months, bonus.
Since then i decided i may as well get the uhd package as i was pleased with the service ao far. £15 extra minus the £5 for aport so i am only paying £10 a month more and couldnt be happier the broadband is so much more reliable with bt. When i had talk talk i would often experience a lot of buffering during peak times and honestly ive forgotten what that feels like.

We decided to put all our eggs in on basket, landline, broadband, & mobile. We've had five weeks of absolute hell. We've had 17 e-mails, 5 order streams, the same number issued on both mobiles, 8 changes of dates (inc dates made without consulting us), staff lying to us about calling, being transferred 7 times on one call, and countless other incompetances.
They can't update orders until each service is completed.
BEWARE on BT Mobile: BT does NOT offer a Personal Hotspot/tethering services, and won't tell you unless you ask the right question.

What a disorganised, disfunctional,and arrogant organisation. Signed up with bt for tel line ,infinity broadband and bt tv on the 24th august for new property we wre moving into on 18th sept Promised a vist on 14th& 21st sept to have all installed, noticed on tracking my order on the 18th to see that 21st visit had been cancelled without any notification from them. told unable to do outside work rebooked for 30th sept and 6th oct. Low and behold next day an engineer was outside doing the work. Looked at my order tracking and 21st visit was reinstated. But on the 20th day after the first visit an engineer knocked and said he was there for outside work! explained it was all done but needed the inside work done. He could not do that and left. took a day off work to there on 21st and guess what no engineer turnerd up. Rang customer service and told work wont be done now to 9th october. What a waste of time and effort. They never contact you give a load of spiel. and no help what soever. sent an email of complaint but never got a reply. Wished we stayed with sky. and i thought they had bad customer service.

I have the highest level of broadband Infinity and the latest Hub 6. The service is very expensive, with prices rising at least twice a year. The broadband drops out whenever ther is the slightest storm, wind or rain. TV advertisements are usually dishonest and deceitful, making outrageous claims as to coverage and reliability. 'Deals' are offered to new customers only with no regard to loyal customers.
Would advise anyone to look elsewhere as BT offer a poor, expensive service with little respect of customer loyalty.

I subscribed to BT Infinity 1 on Sunday and already I have received absolute diabolical service - I am absolutely astounded they get any business at all - I am going to cancel my order... and why cant I write on their facebook probably because they want to hide that fact they don't know the first thing about customer service!!! Anyone thinking of swapping over I would strongly suggest they think twice and then again because you haven't received diabolical customer service until you have to deal with this lot!!!

A word of advice to anyone thinking of using BT. Unless you really want it don't subscribe to BT Sport, even though it may be 'free'. HIf you decide to change supplier the don't automatically cancel the sports package. They send you a message stating that they'll switch you to full priced BT Sport lite at £13.50 a month, unless you ask to cancel it. This means you have no option but to contact them. When you ring you'll be put through to a customer service adviser who would make the hardest of 1980s double glazing salesmen blush. After 15 minutes of screaming at him to just cancel the sports package he then informs you that there is a 30 day cancellation clause for which you'll be charged the £13.50. What a con

The worst isp ever! I regularly have huge problems connecting. Download speed is appalling. Customer service really don't care about your problems. When your due an upgrade you have to fight tooth and nail for them to even give you one. I had to threaten to leave my contract before they would even listen to me. And to top it all off they have blocked websites so the freedom of browsing is lost with BT, absolutely useless as soon as my contract is over I'm defiantly leaving. I'd get a better deal using a wet fish!

My daughter and I were both with BT for three years. Very expensive and customer service useless. When my daughter changed to Virgin they charged her $31 for disconnection. As a result I left BT as well, never to return.

First time buyer, first broadband supplier, new build. Customer left feeling like a joke.
I joined under the sales pitch that I'd be upgraded to fibre once it is connected to the property, it the meantime I'll have a non fibre package.
In short, there was no fibre upgrade. Uploading 30second social media post bought YouTube on my TV to a standstill. Couldn't watch Netflix without several loading screens. Several webchats talking about low speeds resulted in nothing. They were always seeing their convenient "speed promise" margins, while I was waiting 5 minutes for a video to load.
When I was leaving I called up to talk about terminiation fees, they said they could up upgraded to 2 - 3times the speed for no extra monthly since the beginning.
I would recommend to everyone to stay clear of the broadband.
Cheaper per mb/s alternatives out there.

Absolutely appalling service. Ordered a new phone line and broadband infinity for a house move and it all went wrong from there. Incorrect order placed on their end, 15 hours + on the phone trying to resolve the issue. Inability to speak to the same person twice, each person giving me different versions of the truth, temporary broadband premium at the old address given for '4 weeks' until the move - had it for a week and now being charged £860 for 'cancelling the order early' even though we never ordered it and are being accused of agreeing to pay for a two year broadband contract in two houses, one of which we left two months ago. Being given false information about the cloud and expecting more 'cancellation charges' while trying to sort it. Over 2 hours on the phone again today with a woman from India who made me spell Sarah 3 times and refuses to allow the charges to be dropped, insisting that we were more than willing to pay 2 years of broadband for 4 (1) week(s) worth. And that's is cutting the story short. Absolutely appalled by the despicable service of everyone at bt. Not a single person I spoke to appears to know what their job is. My advice is to avoid Bt like the plague. They have the worst customer service skills and common sense that I have ever had the displeasure to deal with.

BT are literally the worst company I have ever known, there customer service is discussing every single person I have spoken to must be the most incompetent people Iv ever had conversations with in my life. None of them communicate. They cancelled my account without telling me then took over 10 days to set up a new one so was 2 weeks without broadband or a telephone line in a terrible area for signal, after notifying them I had a new born baby and need a telephone line asap. I confirmed with one of the staff I was not paying the one off charge £35 set up few as their service was a disgrace, she discounted that and I paid my bill. They
have now today decided to take £35 from my account for the set up fee that was agreed I didn't have to pay and they tell me it takes 3-4 days to look into the phone calls which will prove I'm right and then will take up to 10 days to get my money back. They are an absolute disgrace I would be embarrassed to work for the company DO NOT USE THEm UNLESS U HAVE TO unfortunately I'm in a new build and we have to use BT.

BT call centre and support line in Bangalore is a joke, had to ring them to sort out a problem with my 90 year old father's switch to BT mail. They don't understand you and you can hardly understand them, my father would have had no chance! After 2 hours on the phone I was ready to sob with frustration at the constant repetition and lack of understanding. In the end they gave up and so did I . I found the answer to a fairly simple problem by searching Internet forums. This call centre is a disgrace avoid BT like the plague.

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

Avoid at all costs.
Connection is poor and live in an area surround by fibre optic yet our house plus 6 others seem to have been missed out even though you can't get much closer to the main hub yet BT won't connect us otherwise i'd be with Virgin.
Got sent a non functioning hub and after spending a week phoning India repeating and jumping through hoops to get this sorted the only offer given to me was to send an engineer and be charged £129.99 because they sent equipment that didn't work. Then the engineer didn't turn up and had to book more time off work for another to be sent.
They will scam you unless you go for there infinity if they feel like connecting your area up that is, Avoid, Avoid and Avoid.
Also Ombudsman doesn't care because they were paid off with buying up all the contracts. Monopoly wins and average consumer gets ripped off.
Parents use sky and they are 10 times better, think anyone else is better and until people stop using BT and the government sell the contracts out fairly this won't change.
