    Unexpected, amazing service.
    I spoke with Michael, form the case management in Liverpool (that wat it says on the text send to me within an hour of my conversation which was at 8.20 pm!), who was amazing and went above and beyond of my expectations. Usually, I am not happy with BT, but on this occasion, Michael sorted out everting within an hour (I was expecting to wait about two weeks and to make a few more calls, as usual).
    If BT had more agents like Michael, I would definitely consider moving my mobile service and my cable TV to them.

    Thank you Michael,

    Our WiFi hasn’t been working for 3 weeks because they wired it wrong and they keep saying they’ll send someone to fix it and just keep delaying over and over. Absolute joke really

    The cost of the service is too much. You don’t get any offers. If you are struggling for your contract payment and need to downgrade, this isn’t possible. I am cancelling as soon as my contract runs out. If I could do now I would. So Do think twice before choosing them.

    Honest review - broadband is really good (5/5), customer service is ok - bur pretty slow sometimes on online chats (4/5). BT rewards - good idea to introduce these but 2 months passed and still waiting for my card to be sent - have contacted them several times already, lets see if I will ever receive it (2/5). Also i didn’t really like that I have been charged for 2 weeks from ordering to installation (1/5) - either installation time should be reduced or they should charge for the broadband from the day that it is actually installed. Overall, pretty impressed with broadband but they should manage other things better.

    Terrible. 3 weeks into contract we haven't been connected to the internet yet. They promised an engineer will come 3 times but no one came. Customer service lies as what happened today.

    Avoid BT. Worse service ever.
    Lost a lot of time and days waiting for an engineer which never came. Failed promises over and over again.

    Very unreliable company.
    Very incompetent customer service and LIARS!

    After numerous phone calls and their failed promises 3 weeks later they have not fixed our broadband yet. They will twist things and make it your fault.

    Not worth it. Avoid BT.

    From very unsatisfied customers.

    Having spent a great deal of time "chatting" to BT persons on a few occasions, I am still not receiving the super fast 2 broadband speed which I am paying for. I am not sure which way to turn now as when I moved house 10 years ago, I was torn between BT and another company I was with to getting a working landline and broadband in the new home...it cost me time, more money and considerable stress. "Chatting" doesn't seem to resolve matters......

    Dreadful from start to finish, countless problems trying to setup in multiple houses
    The Call centres they provide are next to useless, their english language skills are awful and their technical skills and knowledge even worse. Had BT broadband in 4 different properties and its been intermittent and dropped out all the time and never been the speed quoted. Overprived and you can find much better deals out there now.

    In my (long) experience of BT I can say that BT provides an appalling broadband service. Although the exchange is across the road from my house the download speed is now only 0.23 Mbps which makes broadband almost unusable. (There seems to be some continual problem at the exchange). Yet I am told that this is an acceptable speed! I am paying £55 a month for this service plus phone calls.

    Been without Internet for a week, Even though BT promised to have it sorted on 3 different occasions, today Open Reach tell me it will be out for upto a month. BT's response is to pass me from pillar to post, ending up with Paul from Cardiff. He read continually from his notes and kept going on mute to write more notes saying the same thing !!! To be honest an absolute disgrace, I've been with then for 20 odd years and they are happy for me to be without Internet for a month but won't let me cancel my contract - that's how to keep customers - what a service !! - appalling from top to bottom

    Promised speeds nearer 50mbs and at the beginning that’s what we received, then the cancellation date passed and speed drops to18mbs. BT first say fault at the exchange, then line outside house now it’s inside the house and a possible £85 charge. Fault promised to be fixed by 26th - now 28th and still poor speed

    BT are an absolute JOKE. Ordered my installation on Jan 5 and was told would be installed on Jan 16. Install was cancelled, and due to "technical complications" had to cancel the order and reorder on Jan 12.

    That put the date back to Jan 22, but connections got it back to Jan 16. Then was told the installation was cancelled AGAIN.

    Was told it would be done on Jan 28, and have now been informed that the engineer WON'T be able to install... AGAIN!

    BT are an absolute JOKE.

    They're too big and just don't care about their customers. Stick with a smaller supplier who takes care of their customers.

    Worst company I have ever been with. Firstly they charge me for a whole year of BT sport when I never asked for it. I cancel my package with BT and they send me a final bill charging me for an extra month. They haven't got anything right from day one. Stay away

    Reliable - check!
    Fast - Nah Nah! I have fibre to the house and pay for 30Mb. Get this sometimes in the evening but during the day only 10Mb. Not technical issue as I get a ping under 10ms.
