    never had such poor service my download speed is impossible at 0.3mbs supposed to be 8.0mbs. the indian speaking call centre is a disgrace saying there is no problem with my service. when my contract is up I will not be staying with bt, as I am paying for something which 9 times out of 10 I carnt even use and when I can it is too slow to do anything.

    So disappointed with BT. Decided to change suppliers and go with BT, with reassurances from BT that Infinity would work well. Engineer turned up, very grumpy and rude because he had to change junction box. Couldn't set up, said he was going to the main box to reset everything, never returned. Turned up the next day did the same and disappeared - still no broadband. Rany customer services, job marked as complete by engineer! All customer services could do was give me BB fault number - why am I paying over £25 a month for such appalling service?!

    Worst days work I ever did going back to BT. 60% slower than they promised constant loss of connection, don`t call you back when they say they will, and waited in for 5hrs for an engineer that never turned up. An absolute shambles, come back Sky all is forgiven!!

    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.

    With the introduction of BT Infinity 2, I was given an estimate of 57Mbs download and 20Mbs upload. I am consistently getting 70+Mbs down and 14 - 17.5Mbs up. Very pleased with the sevice. Line profile did vary by 20% in first 3-4 days but has now stabilised at 77Mbs+

    0.078 Mbps speed test says it all and only five miles from Oxford city centre in a decent sized village! BT are the only provider available and have done nothing to improve the service, yet charge double that of other quality suppliers. 1 Mbps would be adequate, to get less than 10% of that means a simple page like this takes 20 seconds to load.

    I have had a couple of problems with my Broadband
    over the past couple of years with BT. However on contacting them my problems have been dealt with efficiently and quickly. On the last occasion they even sent an engineer around the next morning and as a result my broadband was back online faster than ever. They may be a bit more expensive than some other providers but service they offer is worth every penny. I certainly can recommend BT.

    Far too slow when I am only a mile and a half from Cupar Exchange. BT give little comfort and seem to be able to change the speeds from 0.1 to 1.33 !!

    bt broadband infinity ???
    it takes an infinity to get online and then takes an infinity to open a webpage, my average speed 0.2meg and im lucky if it stays connected for more than 15 min at a time, bts excuse the wire from the cabinet to my house is too old and in poor condition, they will replace it if i pay.
