BT Home Broadband Reviews

I have had BT broadband for the past 5 years at my current address and am paying £52 a month for super fast broadband 1 which is far too much. Went on the BT website and found that new customers can get the same service for £29.99 and then £37.99 after 24 months. I phoned them up to 're-negotiate' a new contract and was told that was what was agreed when I took it out so they can't give me a better deal. I told them I will leave if that's the case so she 'spoke to her manager' and said they could give it me it for £45.99 a month - still £8 a month more than a new customer once out of contract.
I've signed up for this price as I've never had a problem with the speed/reliabilty etc and looking at reviews for other providers they all seem worse than BT (unable to get Virgin in my area.)
It is disgraceful that a loyal customer should have to pay more than a new customer though.

Ordered on the 2nd December, engineer turned up 16th December then never heard anything back until I chased new year. They missed 4 appointments in a row, explained situation and why was important to be done by a certain date.. still not kept to date so was forced to cancel order. If that was the start of a new customer I was fearful what would happen if I had an actual issue. not pleased

Being fobbed off completely how rubish is this company

My partner have got them for broadband broad band was fine for a few months then they started cutting us off before the bill was due to be paid then after we paid it on the day it was due the broadband started to go funny my partner rang them up and they said that it's because it's under the stair case and because my partner has a ps4 on the wifi and some phones on the wifi which is exactly the same as when we started off so the sent a wifi booster so we can hard wire the ps4 which by the way seems a bit weird in how its set up we set it up and ps4 doesn't work hard wired plus the box then turns amber and doesn't budge and then my partner rings up about 7 times and the whole time they keep hanging up on him then we manage to get someone to stay on the line and he's now saying that we have to put everything back to where it originally was as you can't hard wire the ps4 the way we have been told
does anyone in that company know exactly what they are doing at all because to us all it doesn't seem like it which means there shouldn't be a bt company anymore

Had some issues with customer service in the past but picking up the telephone to call someone will get you much better service than live chat. Reliable service and speed. My price went up after 18 months but a quick phone call telling BT I'd found a better offer elsewhere and they brought my price down by more than half price a month. Highly recommend.

Worse decision I've ever made! I thought I was changing for a better supplier but I was complete wrong. Don't be silly as I was and join BT. They're just money takers and you will regret your decision. I have now two internet suppliers as BT never works!
Advice? Go Virgin! Best you can find.

SOLD US FIBRE THAT DIDNT EVEN EXIST,CLAIMED WE HAD ACCESS TO IT IN OUR AREA....Without doubt the worst customer service ive ever experienced.Calls and emails completely ignored.My company took case to communications ombudsman and had all 6 issues upheld.You would never in a million years believe a company of this magnitude could get away with level of poor customer service.the sort of experience youd expect if you bought broadband of Del boy and Rodney.AVOID AVOID AVOID

There is direct fibre optic to premises where I live - BT of course (monopoly).
The max speed offered at my address is 350 Mbs / 50 Mbs.
I ordered Super Fibre 2
which is 74 Mbs / 20 Mbs. I achieve 10 Mbs upload and BT says there is nothing they could do about it. This is how they screw customers at address where they have monopoly. I would never join them if I had a chance to choose other provider.
HOW CAN THEY OFFER 50 Mbs upload at the address and they can't provide anything above 10 Mbs?? I will never choose them again!

The most incompetent company I've ever had the displeasure of buying from. After attempting to set up a fibre broadband package at my new home, I was informed on my activation date that the original order wasn't even actually confirmed due to human error. I then attempted to set up my broadband package again. Two weeks later, on my new activation date, I was told that the order had been cancelled moments after I placed it despite the fact that I had not been informed and had made two subsequent calls to check on the order where I was told it was processing. It turns out they had tried to take over my neighbour's line instead of the deactivated line because, for some reason, when confronted by two active lines and one deactivated line, they assume one of the active lines is the one I'm attempting to set up broadband on. I'm currently sitting on my phone being told by a BT rep that they won't be able to honour my original deal now for reasons that can only be summed up as "we don't want to do it anymore", even though the only reason I don't have broadband at the original price is because of their own incompetence. I will never buy a BT product again and any BT rep I see standing on a sidewalk during a rainy day is getting splashed.

Appalling lack of clarity when getting broadband installed. I ended up taking days off work to wait at home for engineers that never turned up.

Please I urge anyone reading this to never get BT internet

They allowed a takeover to take place without informing me about it and tried to charge me a cancellation fee. I was then promised priority re-connection which was a blatant lie, I was promised to be reconnected by a specific date which was also a lie. A code of ethics is missing in BT. Trying to charge me for their mistake (proof: text message informing me of the takeover came a day late and the letter was dated a day after my internet was disconnected), lying blatantly to my face, what kind of business practice is that? During the whole process, it took 3 different reps to actually get an apology for what happened, they made absolutely no effort to compensate me in any way for my inconvenience. In fact, Instead things kept getting delayed and I had to argue to get a refund done for the part of the month I paid and didn't use. In conclusion, if you want reliable service, professional and courteous customer service and ethical approach to situations, believe me when I say, BT is none of those. Do yourself a favour and go with literally anyone else. You will save yourself a headache.

God awful people and a god awful service. They add hidden charges in to your bill but will never ever tell you what the charges are. When you ask one of the idiots at the help centre they can never, or will not tell you what they relate to. Ask for a full breakdown they will send exactly the same bill you are questioning. Be warned, you will never know what you are paying for. Don’t use this company.

Very disappointed with BT 's customer service and broadband speed.

The broadband is okay but it does drop out. What really bugs me is their dishonest practices. I rang to say my broadband was not giving acceptable speeds and they said I should have been sent a new hub the last time I upgraded. They agreed to send it out free of charge. What I didn’t realise was that they renewed my contract at the same time - signing me up to another 18 months. They added Sky Sports, some HD thing which were free for three months and then started charging me. None of this was discussed on the phone. Due to some family difficulties, I didn’t check for a few months. By which time my bill had gone up from £27 to £65 a month. I called them and after TWO hours on the phone I got the sports and HD stopped and refunded. They said they could not listen to calls that were longer than six months ago. That they refunded me as a gesture of “goodwill.”
But I am still tied into a contract for another year. I will then leave as I find this kind of sales tactic unacceptable. I got the impression they are well aware of their dodgy dealings and the line “we can’t listen to calls made more than six months ago” is a well-used get out clause from admitting their dishonest sales practices. Shame on you BT. No wonder they don’t have Facebook reviews activated!

I've been at this property for approx 4 years. for 3 years and 6 months, the connection I couldn't complain about. approx 12Mbps, but it worked. probably dropped connection about once per week. either wifi dropped, or hubs connection to the net dropped. no real problems.

for the past 6 months (second half of 2019), the speed has gone up to 20Mbps (which is nice) but my connection has been dropping, probably up to 5 times per day, either wifi, or hub to net. it is starting to get slightly irritating. websites will stop responding for no reason, 5 second delay, then "no internet" message. wait 20 or 30 seconds and it usually comes back. I haven't contacted customer service about it yet.

Cant run more than 2 xbox ect.
I have bt best broadband £80 a month. It rubbish

Don't be fool as I was and join BT. Can't wait to my contract to finish and go back Virgin Media.

With a speed of 0.1mb upload and down load
Absolute disgrace on BT behalf as I have to travel
30 miles to upload my days work .
I have to move from this company

Mistakes after mistakes
Transferred from Sky to BT on 18th November retaining my old number only to find out on 21st November they gave me a new number.

Customer service has been terrible trying to resolve this and I won’t have my proper phone number back until 5th December (large pinch of salt taken) so I would be very wary of any service commitments they make.

They also tried to charge me £25 for the privilege of sorting out their cockup.

Disastrous so I would strongly advise against them

The internet work verry bad in the last time!

over last 8 weeks BT Download rate has been well below the 52 Mb/s guaranteed value.
getting BT to address the issue (Indian call centre!!!) is frustrating.
