BT Home Broadband Reviews

Worst experience with a company in my life.

Told on multiple occasions they would get my internet sorted. 5-6 times they messed up and it looks like I am 3-4 weeks without internet due to their incompetence.

Also misled me on switching and couldn't claim compensation.

An utter joke of a company.

Very unreliable service, I need broadband to work from home but the service with BT has been very unreliable. The connection drops, and I've been without any connection for several long periods of time, the last time being for three weeks. I was told planning permission to work on the road was required, but when the engineer came he told me this was not the truth. This time it has been one week so far. BT were aware of the fault but told me no engineers could come out until after the Jubliee celebrations which I think is unacceptable. I've called BT multiple times and on various ocassions the customer service team have hung up on me. They've also tried to upsell to me as a "resolution" to the issue, but if the basic package does not work why would I pay more money for an unreliable service.

The worst customer service, you can explain the situation a thousand times and get a brick wall of a response. The “unbreakable” internet we pay a fortune for consistently breaks or is unstable, and yet there is no compensation for this at all in the slightest. What a waste of money and so avoid this if you can.

went out of contract with bt and bill crept to £67.00 for broadband and bt sport which is charged in advance i paid this but then phoned for a cheaper deal on new contract for the next month bill they assured me bt sport would stay connected till end of term i paid for and then the next day i was cut off so misled and misold as a customer of some years i was disgusted i phoned and was told i would get a refund for lost services i had paid for in advance not good enough am cancelling new contract within first 14 days and wont be back beware i needed a cheaper deal so was to cancel bt sport at end of the month but they lied all recorded beware if your an old customer it will not benefit you not acceptable

Broadband drops in and out as it pleases leaving you unable to do anything don’t even contemplate watching a tv program it won’t happen then expect a really long wait on the phone if they pick up at all ! To just be told well I can’t see a fault so if you want an engineer it’s at your own cost ! Worst customer service ever even though I can provide speediest of less than one mg apparently as that’s still getting internet it’s ok although it won’t load their homepage either

One of the biggest scams of our time, absolutely AWFUL connection speeds, constantly disconnecting. Is it a coincidence that whenever you launch your stupid new routers all your other users experience extreme broadband throttling?? Do you think we are fxcking stupid?! You are a bunch of criminals with a company logo & I SINCERELY hope your shareholders & execs see what an absolute clownshow of a company you are and sack the lot of you, FXCK YOU BT

Absolutely disgraceful company. Tied into contract with this useless junk atm can't wait to change

Worst wifi ive ever used £80 a month for the worst ping for when i play and the worst connection possible horrible download speeds and upload speed i would recommend sse who i have switched back to for near £20 a month for better results 100% never using bt again

It's a shame I can't leave minus stars had nothing but connection issues with BT today I decided to cancel my contract and they want to charge me £118 cancellation fee ..Good luck BT see you in court ...nobody but a fool would pay for a service they aren't getting....I look forward to the court case

January 2022 I commenced contract with BT charging £29.99. After 1month they sent a letter saying price has increased from April. April bill was £35.40 including 21p for outside of contract usage. After speaking with them they informed me that the bill is correct and from May's bill £32.77 will be charged due to price increase by the government.
However by brother called and they are offering the same contract for £30.99. Be aware new customer's they will probably do this with you.

Terrible service the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

We signed with BT retail in Oct 2021 on the basis their mkt position, customer service levels, and that their superfast fibre would be installed before our 1st leisure business opened in April 2022. It is 12/5/22 and it is still not complete. I have spent most of my 30 year career dealing with the largest companies in the world. I have never ever experienced the level of incompetence with any company, large or small, as I have with BT. I still cannot believe a company of BT's size and market position can be so incredibly bad. No department knows what the other department is doing. Numerous engineers turn up to do the same job weeks apart. We have had to go out and buy our own 4G routers from Vodafone just so we can open the business whilst we wait for BT to finish. They are months late and still cannot admit fault. They say our issues have been "escalated", but do not be fooled, this does absolutely nothing. I would strongly suggest you look for a smaller provider that is organised and takes care of their customers. If I could go to another provider I would but BT have locked us in for 3 years.

Overall the worst customer service. They blocked our line by accident because a neighbour was switching providers and they incorrectly registered our wifi. They then refused to accept they made a mistake and werent able to fix the mistake until over a week later leaving us stranded without wifi working from home. No compensation, no immediate action. Their customer service staff are incompetent and cause more problems than solve them.

A complete false start. We opted for a new aerial and explained that we live in a 3 story house. Their engineer came out and informed us that they couldn't fit an Aerial and would have known that had they been informed by BT, which they weren't. BT's response was that I Could either pay for it to be done myself at a cost of £360 or they could just cancel the TV part of our package. No effort at all to find a solution, no empathy at all and the ownus put on us to find a solution. We ended up staying with our current provider.

Very happy customer! Install was spot on, install the fibre all with no charge,that didn't look like a small job. On BT fiber 900 speed over Lan 950-1gb. So fast and so far very reliable'-)

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
They don't know their own processes and don't make concessions even if they're in the wrong.

They asked that I return my hardware equipment at the end of my contract as I was moving address. They said go into any EE store and drop it off, it couldn't be easier. I arrived at EE and was told that they have never accepted routers etc. so I called BT from the store to ask what was going on and why they had wasted my morning by advising to take the equipment to EE. They apologised and said they'd send out a returns bag instead so I could send the equipment back. I gave them all the details of my new address as I was no longer living at the old address, and thought nothing of it.

The next time I hear anything, it's my old landlord calling up to say there's a bag addressed to you from BT. Obviously they've sent it out to my old address. After calling up again and explaining the series of errors from BT, I was then told I still had to return the hardware or I'd be charged. So after wasting nearly 8 hours of my time. They wouldn't waive a £50 charge.

It was out of circumstance that I left BT, but I'll be cancelling my business broadband and EE contacts now and won't be back again. Treat people better and you may manage to keep some customers. But I won't be one of them.

Absolutely disgusting service from BT WiFi

Just to waste my time further after numerous texts and 2.5 hours on the phone

Complaint Number VOLO13- 680299153906

No WiFi for months the service team are a waste of space.
Promised a tech to home address, no tech and informed complaint closed by email
Numerous phone calls and waiting in a queue

Useless

My account is up for renewal so obviously with this diabolical service I cancel it

Nobody wants to speak about the three months I’ve been robbed by you taking my money and no service so no surprise all I get is a lady who wants to explain the costs of my closing the account

You lot should wear a mask.. robbing scumbags

Change to bt broadband, the package had the word fibre in it, so i presumed i was getting the high speed fibre i asked for. It's dire, can't even stream a film. Impossible to get to speak to anyone. Their customer service is structured so you cannot speak to anyone. will just have to pay double to get out of the dire service provision and go to a company that can provide what they say they will.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of speaking to your support team who were very rude and unhelpful. I pay for Fibre 2. As a person who is not a fibre engineer I was under the impression and mislead to believe I was paying for fibre Internet. This is apparently half the case. Apparently I get fibre to a cabinet on my street then the fibre goes to my Copper wire to the house. I'm not a scientist but I know fibre which is light passing through tiny glass fibres will not go through metal I.e the copper.


I only get WiFi without issue in my livingroom. I live in a bungalow and the other 6 rooms get hardly any WiFi. I pay an additional fee for guaranteed speeds yet your customer service tell me that if there speed check says I get a speed then it's not there problem if I don't get the service inside the property.... how is this even morally right?? Paying for a service I don't get and your team say its not there problem. You won't allow me to have an engineer out, you will however send me another disc for a charge. While I am paying for nothing already I don't believe I should be paying for another disc.


I have two discs already which won't connect to the router when you leave the room yet your customer service believe if I have another one it will magically work. I definitely don't need 3 discs and a router in my livingroom ... yes I will have WiFi in my livingroom which may be better but it still doesn't solve the issue of the WiFi in other rooms.


Hopefully you will be able to shed some light on why you offer something you call fibre which isn't fibre? Also could you explain why I have to stay paying for a service that doesn't work and you won't help me with and insist I pay you nearly £700 to get out of the contract when I can get real life fibre which is called fibre and is fibre with a different company who will give me the product I was told I would get.

Avoid Avoid Avoid continuous low speeds, was put on the best deal for broadband, was guaranteed a certain speed, this was not working for us! Bad connection and very slow, we were offered disks which added to my monthly bill, many more times with the speed being a issue! Rung today with yet more problems! My speed is guaranteed 65 I think! The call advisor was shocked that it was only 2 no £100 cash for continuous issues with speed etc, am not allowed to leave without paying a fee!!! Absolutely shocking service! I can not wait for my contract to end
