Just had my final bill come in. I have been a customer of bt for the last five years and never missed an expensive monthly payment. My final bill is a criminal £307 that is literally just my cancellation fee! Won't ever be using BT again |

The most horrific broadband service I have ever known. If you’re reading this then please don’t frustrate yourself further by joining BT broadband. It never works especially on weekends when it’s required the most. I have made the biggest mistake by joining them. They have also been overcharging me every month and when I complained nothing happened. I’m being charged £4-5 every month on my bill even though I’m on a fixed contract. When I rang up to enquire they told me we have increased it while I was in a contract fixed at the outset ??? Here’s the thing it NEVER works |

I have been with this supplier B.T. over 10 years but now disappointed with the cost. |

I am pretty sure that some of the less favourable reviews are concocted by other broadband companies to put you off using BT. Maybe I am one of tjhe ucky ones, but in all honesty I have had excellent servic e from BT. The only time I had to have an engineer in, was because of my own stupidity when making connection between the PC and router. I have found over the last seven years that the broaDBAnd has NEVER failed, that the speed is most satisfactory and the price is admittedly high, but it's the old story- you get what you pay for. |

Very flaky broadband, difficult to report due to lack of customer service. Phone line does work sometimes! Would not recommend |

Is there a worse company than BT? I placed an order and had confirmation of it two weeks ago. It was supposed to be activated today. Having heard nothing I rang them this morning to see what's going on. Apparently the order HASN'T been processed because Openreach think there are two lines into this property. There aren't. They don't know the number of the phantom line and didn't bother to contact me, they just did nothing. Absolutely lousy service. I'm thinking I've dodged a bullet. |

Really stay well clear of BT completely the worst company to deal with . I have been informed that Sky are more customer friendly , BT staff do not care completely unfair have had issues since 13th December 2019 |

Worst company ever. They were charging me £45 a month for a 10 Mbps connection. I was asked to make a 24 month contract to reduce the price to £25.99. They had no problem with me not being the account holder (my partner is). As soon as I asked to cancel the account to altogether and get a refund for the last months unreliable and expensive WiFi they said they can’t talk to me because I’m not the account holder. What a joke. There are definitely better companies out there. Do your own research |

I spoke to a guy called Lewis, From Newcastle, he helped me when I was moving my broadband. I've had some good customer service before but he's definitely up there at the top! Incredibly helpful. I know sometimes I'm a little useless and he was so patient, reassuring and explained things very well. Also amazing personality, it was like talking to an old friend. I really hope this finds him because everyone needs to be recognised! Straight out brilliant man (if you do read this Lewis, I got some savage girlfriend points! Flowers and everything! Sad right! Haha) thanks again!! |

Absolutely trash, crap upload speeds, crap download speeds, constantly disconnects and not to mention customer service is as about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Avoid BT like the plague not worth the money. |

I've had issues with their broadband almost from day 1: speed, reliability, dropping out, buffering.... Speaking with customer services is soul-destroying. They are rude, unhelpful and will not accept responsibility. Avoid avoid avoid. |

I do not actually have BT wifi myself but I am a private live I carer and any client I have gone to that has had BT wifi there is always issues with the speed and reliability of their wifi. I think I have had more than 10 clients with BT and every single one has been such a hassle that I just use my phone data. Stay clear of BT as they are useless! |

Sold superfast upgrade. Once signed up BT had failed to check if they could provide service. Now waiting for upgrade of line and points. No date given for completion. Sharp selling and poor service. Do not hold your breath. |

Just a quickish compliment. Recently swapped back to BT from EE. EE was very good but in researching to get my bill down, I found that EE were about to cease their replay TV box which I used a lot. The EE call package was better and their TV box, I found better than Youview. Nonetheless I got a slightly better monthly price with which the new installation included fibre to the door and hub plus the 'complete wi-fi' disc package. The whole kit send, hook up and installation (about £39) was all trouble free and on time. I got near max (38MB/sec) speeds almost immediately. The first install only had one disc but I had a few weak spots and phoned up to get the other two they allow (they sent one at a time but that was fine, it gave me a chance to trial two only). I still had a bit of an issue in two spots in the house with two discs (three floors and a lot of metal) but now with three discs I have 36-38 everywhere including in a shed that's about 12 feet from the house (wi-fi signal has to punch through walls and windows plus wood of shed). All in all I have to say I'm very impressed. |

We carried out a community funded project on our estate for over 400 residents to receive FTTP capabilities. We worked alongside BT, being made multiple false promises by their marketing team. As soon as the connections went live, they ceased all communication with us, and when customers had to complain about service, they were not interested at all. Worst display of customer service and lies from a large company I have seen for a long time. Zen is definitely now our preferred supplier. |

I have had BT broadband for the past 5 years at my current address and am paying £52 a month for super fast broadband 1 which is far too much. Went on the BT website and found that new customers can get the same service for £29.99 and then £37.99 after 24 months. I phoned them up to 're-negotiate' a new contract and was told that was what was agreed when I took it out so they can't give me a better deal. I told them I will leave if that's the case so she 'spoke to her manager' and said they could give it me it for £45.99 a month - still £8 a month more than a new customer once out of contract. |

Ordered on the 2nd December, engineer turned up 16th December then never heard anything back until I chased new year. They missed 4 appointments in a row, explained situation and why was important to be done by a certain date.. still not kept to date so was forced to cancel order. If that was the start of a new customer I was fearful what would happen if I had an actual issue. not pleased |

| Jade | Green Hammerton | BT | 2020-01-15 | |
Had some issues with customer service in the past but picking up the telephone to call someone will get you much better service than live chat. Reliable service and speed. My price went up after 18 months but a quick phone call telling BT I'd found a better offer elsewhere and they brought my price down by more than half price a month. Highly recommend. |

Worse decision I've ever made! I thought I was changing for a better supplier but I was complete wrong. Don't be silly as I was and join BT. They're just money takers and you will regret your decision. I have now two internet suppliers as BT never works! |

SOLD US FIBRE THAT DIDNT EVEN EXIST,CLAIMED WE HAD ACCESS TO IT IN OUR AREA....Without doubt the worst customer service ive ever experienced.Calls and emails completely ignored.My company took case to communications ombudsman and had all 6 issues upheld.You would never in a million years believe a company of this magnitude could get away with level of poor customer service.the sort of experience youd expect if you bought broadband of Del boy and Rodney.AVOID AVOID AVOID |

There is direct fibre optic to premises where I live - BT of course (monopoly). |

The most incompetent company I've ever had the displeasure of buying from. After attempting to set up a fibre broadband package at my new home, I was informed on my activation date that the original order wasn't even actually confirmed due to human error. I then attempted to set up my broadband package again. Two weeks later, on my new activation date, I was told that the order had been cancelled moments after I placed it despite the fact that I had not been informed and had made two subsequent calls to check on the order where I was told it was processing. It turns out they had tried to take over my neighbour's line instead of the deactivated line because, for some reason, when confronted by two active lines and one deactivated line, they assume one of the active lines is the one I'm attempting to set up broadband on. I'm currently sitting on my phone being told by a BT rep that they won't be able to honour my original deal now for reasons that can only be summed up as "we don't want to do it anymore", even though the only reason I don't have broadband at the original price is because of their own incompetence. I will never buy a BT product again and any BT rep I see standing on a sidewalk during a rainy day is getting splashed. |

Appalling lack of clarity when getting broadband installed. I ended up taking days off work to wait at home for engineers that never turned up. |

They allowed a takeover to take place without informing me about it and tried to charge me a cancellation fee. I was then promised priority re-connection which was a blatant lie, I was promised to be reconnected by a specific date which was also a lie. A code of ethics is missing in BT. Trying to charge me for their mistake (proof: text message informing me of the takeover came a day late and the letter was dated a day after my internet was disconnected), lying blatantly to my face, what kind of business practice is that? During the whole process, it took 3 different reps to actually get an apology for what happened, they made absolutely no effort to compensate me in any way for my inconvenience. In fact, Instead things kept getting delayed and I had to argue to get a refund done for the part of the month I paid and didn't use. In conclusion, if you want reliable service, professional and courteous customer service and ethical approach to situations, believe me when I say, BT is none of those. Do yourself a favour and go with literally anyone else. You will save yourself a headache. |

God awful people and a god awful service. They add hidden charges in to your bill but will never ever tell you what the charges are. When you ask one of the idiots at the help centre they can never, or will not tell you what they relate to. Ask for a full breakdown they will send exactly the same bill you are questioning. Be warned, you will never know what you are paying for. Don’t use this company. |

| Scott McCrone | Cupar | BT | 2019-12-11 | |
The broadband is okay but it does drop out. What really bugs me is their dishonest practices. I rang to say my broadband was not giving acceptable speeds and they said I should have been sent a new hub the last time I upgraded. They agreed to send it out free of charge. What I didn’t realise was that they renewed my contract at the same time - signing me up to another 18 months. They added Sky Sports, some HD thing which were free for three months and then started charging me. None of this was discussed on the phone. Due to some family difficulties, I didn’t check for a few months. By which time my bill had gone up from £27 to £65 a month. I called them and after TWO hours on the phone I got the sports and HD stopped and refunded. They said they could not listen to calls that were longer than six months ago. That they refunded me as a gesture of “goodwill.” |

I've been at this property for approx 4 years. for 3 years and 6 months, the connection I couldn't complain about. approx 12Mbps, but it worked. probably dropped connection about once per week. either wifi dropped, or hubs connection to the net dropped. no real problems. |

Bt is the apsolute worst broadband provider I have ever used, internet is slow and cant even get a connection 2 feet away, 100% not worth the time or money |

If you want to get internet from BT make sure you place your order at least 6 months in advance. Last time i believed 3 and a half months just happened by mistake, but 6 years later it's the same. You just lose money taking days off work to receive a call before noon with "sorry, can't be done today. Have a nice day!". Well, i will sure have now, thank you |

Worst company i have ever dealt with. All they are interested in is signing you into a contract then providing you with crap service. My broadband speed was 2MB! When i complained they said the small print states a minimum of 1 MB ! They then offered me an updated router for £70. Dont be fooled by the name. BT is crap. Ive since moved to talk talk. Excellent customer service. Excellent broadband speed and at 1/3 of the price. |

Honestly I can cope with the crappy broadband speed, what really pisses me off about bt is how often there’s a problem and we just lose internet all together. I’m a student and I have a whole lot of my work online, I rely on the WiFi heavily, so when there’s ‘an error on the line’ so it just doesn’t work and I can’t do anything it’s bloody inconvenient. Inconvenient doesn’t even describe it and I would be a lot more vivid if I could. If I could I would give it 0 in broadband reliability and overall satisfaction. Our WiFi has stopped working altogether multiple times and each time they **** around for a while saying that an engineers coming and then that there was an error and they can’t so it’s delayed and I end up going weeks paying for extra data and piggybacking off the school WiFi and my friends hotspot which costs me money and isn’t good for anyone. On top of this because of where we live I don’t have service anyway so I’m not contactable for a while and can’t do anything. The only reason I wouldn’t give customer service 0 is because I have pity for the poor ******* who work for this company. We pay £30 or something a month for this and honestly I think we should be paid for the torture which is using bt. |
