    Do not use this service. I have been locked in a contract for 24 months now and cant wait to leave. Monthly prices have been upped 4 or 5 times during this time and I now pay almost £50 for a broadband only service. Never again

    The worst service I have ever been in contact with. Booked an installation, took a day off work and no-one turned up. BT told me the engineer came at 3.30pm but I was waiting all day, so basically a lie. I re-booked for another day and called BT twice to make sure they would come, they told me on both occasions that someone would definitely attend this afternoon. Called them a third time and BT said that the appointment was changed for the next day, without bloody telling me. I cancelled straight away, I am not paying some muggy company my hard earned cash even and this is even before the initial installations.

    LN12DF, Paid for 60mb-80mb Broadband but actually receiving constant 29.3-29.5mb, and there has been no Dial Tone since Friday on landline!. This is paid for BT Broadband Super Fast Fibre II: and this a breach of contract since Friday 07/12/2018. Hope anyone working for the Telecom Regulators, Ofcom read this. Now on telephone line: 0800 800 150 and usual BS about sending out an engineer and a callout FEE. Same script different day.

    I have been having issues with the router since mid October, contacted BT on numerous occassions, speaking most of the time to rude staff who were sending me instructions for hub 5 or smart hub while I have got hub 4! They were aware as they had asked before. Asking me to split connection, etc. Ended up with having 3 engineers who ordered new hub for me. It didn't arrive so I contacted them, they don't know anything about it! Once it arrived, the speed has dropped so complained again, then they sent me some texts and asked to reply what would cost me extra money. In addition, on one occassion I asked when my broadband contract would expire, lady told me the 4th of January. I rang them at the beginning of December to cancel, I was told that line rental contract expires on that day, broadband contract in July. So lazy! Honestly, I'm fuming, never had such bad issues with Sky or Virgin. I can't wait the contract to be finished!

    Annoyed that BT do hard credit searches when your just enquiring about the date/ cost of broadband and don’t go through with the order.

    They should let you know

    If you plan switching to BT, beware they would cut your existing broadband service on Friday morning and leave you whole weekend and bank holiday without Internet connection - which has happened to me. And they won't give you any compensation either. What they boasted "Switching today, connected tomorrow" is totally ******** and lie. BE CAREFUL!!!

    They are FULL OF ****.
    Besides the fact that they actually have speed drops constantly, their internet crashes on a weekly basis, super expensive and ling their asses off.
    On their superfiber page they lie about Virgin Media which was the best and fastest internet provider in UK for a long time and they will be the best stil.

    I bought a BT broadband in 2016 and then renewd on 17.In 2018 when i was getting a problem with their speed download/upload speed and worst customer service experience ever i had in life, decide to change my provider spoken to BT few times about my last day of ending contract and so on. after switching provider (in process)after few days later received an email from BT stating that i need to pay £86 for cancallation fee due to i am in contract with them till 2019. So i contacted BT customer service lady doesn't know what she is talking about and all the time TRYING to selling me BT package in a different ways. which i said NO for any package after waiting 45 min over the phone, customer service lady mentioned me i had renew my contract in arpil 18 for next 12 month contract. which i was completely disagreed with her as why would i will buy a new contract when i am already in contract and new contract is more expensive then old contract thirdly i had not received any emails or notifcation that about new contract or switching to new contract.
    I also mentioned about previous conversation with BT customer service agent which they had confirmed me my last date of ending contract in nov 18.
    Honeslty after spending 3 weeks talking to them its feel like on these customer service is Dumb, and stupid which doesn't understand as well as no communication with each other.
    IF this case not resolve here i will take it to MANAGING DIRECTOR and THEN COURT.
    Piss taker BT. Stay away from these morons.

    Following resetting of an e-mail password by an Indian call centre techie my e-mail stopped working. A quick call to 150 got me to Ireland where I was fed a line of utter BS yet promised a call back by an expert at a set time.

    The duly appointed time came and went and was exceeded by two hours when a call mysteriously came through on my mobile - which I wasn't expecting. Unfortunately the call rang out. Ringing 150 again I was told that there was nothing that could be done, India would ring me again when they were able, they could not define a fixed time. Realising I was beaten, I hung up, did a quick internet search to find out how to complain.

    Yet another phone number and another wait for 15 mins for it to be answered by an abrasive woman from the "Billing" team who couldn't help me and was totally disinterested. When I asked why a member of Billing was answering a complaint call I was told we ALL answer complaints. It's nice to know that your complaint call is not going to a dedicated team but just some disinterested staff member who couldn't give a toss quite safely with no redress. I was told that things were the way they were and I would have to wait. The reason I was contacted by my associated mobile was because there was a fault with my landline - curious that - as I was talking to the hapless BT Billing bint by..... the supposedly faulty landline!!!!!!!

    Well, I am still waiting but I haven't been idle. After 20 years of being a loyal BT customer and after three abortive, painful and stilted calls with Indian customer service within that time period, I have finally had enough. I will be swapping to Plus Net who curiously enough despite their BT links offer a 30% cheaper equivalent package with call and tech support centres in .... Sheffield and Leeds and with an award winning customer service group to boot..

    My opinion of BT is that it doesn't matter how long you have been with them, customer loyalty counts for nothing, they just don't give a ****... and are an unmitigated, 24 karat shower of utter ordure and that is being polite.

    My advice, is to other disaffected customers is to vote with your feet and secure a better service at a more competitive price. - just like me.

    Worst internet I’ve ever experienced in my life.
    Slowest speeds, disconnecting constantly, the worst customer service, engineers seem to continually miss appointments and they give you, wait for it a whole ..... £10 as compensation!! Not like I’ve taken days off unpaid to sit and wait for them not to turn up so £10 doesn’t really come close!
    I’m moving in 6 days time and can not wait to never ever have to hear the name BT ever again!
    I’m paying for fibre optic broadband and get a whole 4 mb download speed, IF IM LUCKY.
    I can not describe how angry it makes me when I’m half way through a game or watching a film and boom it’s gone.
    Do yourselves a favour, never go near BT for anything, EVER.

    BT are rubbish. Decided to use two cans and some string. Send message by pigeon was much faster . Don't call them for advise as will bring out a side of you you did not know was in you. I turned into a monster because they are robot's spuying out pointless tech advise you have tried before you called them .charge you a fortune to tell you to switch it off and on again.

    This company is shocking I moved into my new home and gave 2 weeks notice to BT that I was moving. I spoke to home move team who explained I will be getting my hub posted and a engineer was booked also, I was happy with that set up.

    On the day of the new hub arriving I rang to find out what time they were turning up. This is where the problems started. I was calling the customers services team they did not recognise i had moved and could not find the information regarding any engineers or Wi-Fi hub being sent then they cut me off.

    I rang again and that person also said the same thing. I called up a 3rd time and they found my details without any problems? I was then told I would have to wait, 3 more weeks with no phone, WiFi or TV.

    I made a complaint 1 week ago but have heard nothing back from them. They are the worse company I have dealt with, they lie and tell you stuff that is not true. The funny thing I have texts and email confirming it all.

    I have no choice but to use these jokers I will be emailing the onbusman, and telling everyone because they want to ignore me.

    Terrible customer service. Needed to switch to a new account after other flatmate moved out but we were already using BT. They had no problem turning off our broadband but haven't set up a new connection. Get fobbed off every time I call with no one taking action or accountability to see our problem to resolution. I have to call every time and explain the problem and then get connected through to a different person where I have to explain again. Would never have gone with them if I had read the reviews first.

    BT broadband really isn’t worth having. I’ve had it taken out even though I get it for free. If useless is free is it worth having for nothing ? Don’t waste your money.
