    Shambles of a company. I couldn`t use the Broadband due to unforseen circumstances. Bt said no problem they would send a return bag for the router and there would be no charges. 3 months and 3 phone calls later i have been charged £50 with no return bag sent. I have asked for a return address to send the kit back but they won`t give me one. Total rip off company

    The service they provide is not close to that which is advertised. The internet speed is shockingly bad and periodically goes down for whole weekends. We have complained many times, however, their customer assistants are useless and unable to help in the slightest. One of the poorest service providers i have ever been with. Would not recommend to anyone who cares about broadband speed, consistency or customer care.

    Existing BT customer here, just looking to change the point the internet cable comes into the house, as part of a refurb. Organised a date with BT 2 weeks ago for an engineer to come and do this.

    We were given a window of 8am-1pm. No one here by 12.30, so we rang BT customer services and were promised an engineer was on their way and were just held-up. My wife stayed in for the rest of the afternoon, with our 3 young boys, holding up the refurb work, only for no engineer to appear.

    We ring BT this evening to understand how no one can appear and how the guidance at midday was that someone was on their way, only to be told that this was booked as a remote service and no one was ever going to come.

    Absolutely shocking service. Building works held-up and can’t even find an apology, let alone a suitable revised date for the work.

    Will now be leaving the service and would strongly recommend anyone assessing different suppliers to avoid BT. Their service is shockingly bad for such a high profile company.

    Went for a deal with free Fitbit and ‘Great Wi-Fi’ in every room. 3 months on no Fitbit with no help from customer service after several calls and emails. Multiple rooms without any Wi-Fi even though they are 10 meters away from the main Hub.

    I have taken BT superfibre connection to my work from home. It is the worst decision I made. There was an inordinate delay in getting the connection. (Then 3 blokes came in 3 vans to put ONE wire from the road to the house. One did the work the other 2 merrily chatting away) I wish Virgin was available in my area ! The speed is supposed to be 300Mb, I hardly get 50 MB. When I call BT they insist the connection is fine. The connection is unstable at best and often I cannot connect 2 devices let alone what is said in their ad! Can Britain not have better internet than this?

    Even putting 1 star is better than they deserve. The absolute worst internet I have ever had. Internet speeds ( by them ) were 15mb lower than they said, and my tests were absolutely disgraceful. I work from home so need a stable connection, however it has been impossible to do ANYTHING. Internet speeds showing a whopping 1mb/s (if that sometimes) pages taking years to load, youtube videos buffering on 240p. I have had to work from my friends house the last 2 weeks because of this and it's totally unacceptable. Never ever using BT again, the service is an absolute joke.

    Exceptionally poor customer service, I would strongly advise anyone who is seeking a positive outcome and customer satisfaction to look elsewhere, I have been a loyal customer to BT over the last 24 Months paying my direct debts on time and enjoying the service until I made a short term transition into another property one in which the duration was going to be 3 months at the end of this period my service was going to cease, I made this very clear to BT. I have now been hit with an unexpected charge because of the move, I made it very clear to BT that this transition was going to be 3 months so why lie to a loyal customer and not make that loyal customer aware of the line rental charges, a company who supposedly puts "customers first" one of their core values, I am now starting to realise why BT do not advertise their Trustpilot score. Because of this experience, I will never recommend BT or any of BT's products to friends or family and I recommend anyone who is reading this to seek an alternative supplier and products.

    The absolute worst. Broadband installation is 38 days overdue after a 3 week delay between account setup and the installation. The only time I get updates is when I call, and some unfortunate (very kind) customer service person has explains that they plan to do it in the next week. They never do. Recommend just about anyone else. Truly awful experience, making working from home and moving house an absolute nightmare.

    This has been by far the worst service I have received from a broadband and tv box provider.
    1- The TV Box and hub did not arrive until a week later than the starting date and they did not modify the starting date.
    2- I was promised the big sport package which includes HD channels and had to call 2 times where they said the problem was fixed but it was not. The guys who talked to me did not what were they talking about.
    3- The third time I get to talk to someone who knows what was talking about. Also, the problem with my tv changed as well so to see HD channels it was asking to upgrade subscription. When I talk to the BT specialist he agreed that I should have HD but that it was not assigned and that I would have to pay extra money to get it. That is when I decided to cancel. Luckily enough I still was within the 14 days free cancelation Do not want to know about BT ever again.
    3- The sales guy that promise the package for a certain price was a scam. I honestly do not know how this service can get worst.

    I have been stuck with BT for a good part of 2 years (almost). Although the speeds were decent enough for the package I had, the termination of my contract resulted in the worst possible ruckus - long story short; the chat team does not know a thing about how to terminate a contract and there is a lack of communication between various sections. I had to waste 3 mornings (2 weeks distance apart) to get someone to place a return order of my router and have my account cancel on my requested date - And when that was done I found out (a month after) that I was still resulting a regular customer and paying the bills regularly...terrified of having to set up an account with them ever again.

    normally i leave a bad company at 1 star but this is completely abysmal. rating this 1 star would be generous considering what you actually get from BT. we get our first BT router a few years back, signed for a year or 2 since they promised good connection. nope! couldn't even connect to stuff as simple as video or online meeting. so we phoned them up and asked for an engineer and the engineer came. the engineer promised high speeds and set us up onto the "fastest connection possible". looking back on that, i almost fell out of my chair laughing with how false that was. nothing improved and they charged us anyways without any reason or explanation as to why nothing improved. naturally, we called again and got set up with new internet. this has been a bit better but not much. not to mention, there's zero point reaching out to the support team since they're as about as useful as a rock and will just keep you on an endless loop while being as passive-aggressive as humanly possible. horrible company.

    BT boardband unstable and bad customer service. They expect their customers work around their BT engineers schedule not customers. BT seems to think their customers can take time off work for their engineers. I don't understand that why BT engineers are not at services at weekend or evening. Their fault team is a joke, no customer services at all. Telling me there was no fault when I have no wifi for a few days, then told me not to talk over him when he was the one kept interrupting me talking. Shocking bad services at their fault team. BT management needs to do better to provide some basic infrastructure to the UK public.

    Worst broadband u can have!

    I had a contract with them when I was living in Luton, was ok...ish

    But here, In Liverpool is pure ****! In weekend is not working at all and during the week I have max 2.8 mb/s so is useless!
    I am thinking to make a claim because they don't give me what they said in the contract I will get.

    Waste of money
