    BT is terrible! Been on it for years with a up to 8meg package, 10 GB max bandwidth and my local area with bt is 3mps, while my actual speed with bt is 1-300kbps! I've contacted BT on many occasions but they ignore me and tell me it's my fault, my problem... even when I moved house, changed equipment etc - BT sucks! Stuck with a terrible connection, their customer services are the worst and atm the connection drops out A LOT! Worst time was keeping disconnecting and reconnecting constantly for hours - so no connection! My opinion, DON'T USE BT! Unreliable, slow speeds, bad customer service and overall ... bad!

    Comments:

    Periodic problems with Broadband speed dropping from over 6Mb/s to 1.5Mb/s. Repeated calls to customer service, and interminable waits in automated telephone sytem, bring promises of corrective action from 'an engineer will call' on 'date and time' to 'fault is at the Exchange and will be corrected in next few days. No improvement has resulted. Fed up with being treated like somebody who does not matter. Equally fed up with BT's general attitude to me as a customer, including the Highway Robbery of demanding extra money for not setting up a Direct Debit with them. And they think, after the fiascos of trying to get some action on Broadband speeds, I would trust them with a free hand to raid my Bank Account!!!!

    I have been with BT for a number of years, they promised infinity last year, just been told it will be another six months! I can hardly finish a game on FIFA 11 without it dropping. I'm moving to sky, I like the look of anytime +

    Awful, constantly lied to when phoning up. Speed was 4.3M for a few weeks then they decided that a paying customer should only have 2.8M Yet I am not a heavy user. These jokers give the min speed they have to.

    Using the same equipment (Line,Computers & wiring ) as previous provider ( Plusnet ) but BTs' wireless Hub 3 - used wired Cat5 - my overall speed and 'reliability' and lack of tech support went from Bad to Appalling.
    New Delhi Call Centre is the best thing about BTs' "service" !
    Another "Non Customer Facing" outfit where THEY contact YOU, but YOU cannot contact THEM without devoting hours and hours to phone calls - email contact not allowed !!
    I have a 25% DOWNTIME record so far - and counting.....
    THEY (BT) are VERY GOOD at sending out BILLS - pity their service lacks value IMHO.

    Broadband keeps cutting out, for a short time only, when on facebook. Other sites seem to be ok, but opening sites can take longer than I think it should.
