    Comments:

    Much too slow broadband speed. Customer service (if you can contact anybody) practically non-existent. Utterly hopeless. I am thinking of changing. I am paying BT for 8 Mb and getting an average download speed of 1.87 Mb and an average upload speed of 0.32 Mb. This is absolutely pathetic.

    Option 3 un-capped. However, it appears to be capped at 300k/s d/l speed. BT should have it's virtual monopoly on lines removed, I do not recommend them.

    BT claims 8mb but I have never had more than 0.9mb even though they claim I should get 1.5 on my phone line I have tested it on quiet times so there are no excuses about too many people using Broadband in this area.. When I put in the post code they claim 4mb. Come on BT you should be able to do better thasn this

    BT provides a below average service, it's rather like all services in a rural area, there aren't any. You have to live in a city area to get the rated service. This will always be so, where I live the majority of the population are sheep.

    Despite all the adverse criticisms sites like yours like to promulgate, I have found BT very responsive to requests for help with problems and overall to provide a quite acceptable service

    As usual advertised speeds of 8Mb don't even come close to the actual figure of 1Mb even though i am quite close to the exchange. If this god forsaken town had any choice when it came to suppliers I would change without hesitation.

    the speed that BT advertise is by no means reflected iin their actual broadband provision. I have had nothing but a slow connection, resembling the old 'pay as you surf' days- since we switched from Orange. A move I regret making.

    I was mis-sold BT Broadband. I have complained without result. I have many further complaints relating to apathy, incompetence and downright lies. For far too long I have tolerated an incredibly poor, often non-existent, service. Support has been lamentable. I am currently preparing a file for the Chairman and CEO of BT, with a copy for Ofcom.
