    Worst experience of my whole business career. I don’t want to go into deatil as I simply don’t want to waste anymore time. Ended up costing my company thousands. Find another supplier for business phone and broadband.

    Absolutely disgusted with BT! Have cancelled service within 14day cooling off period because they have failed to instal my new phone line and broadband on 2 occasions and failed to send engineer despite promising a visit todaySpent hours and talked to many agents on phone to no avail so have cancelled the service.BT are utter rubbish and I advise you to avoid them like the plague!

    Ridiculous WiFi, slow speeds paying for 50 barely getting 10mb/s , poor connection issues, says it’s connected but no internet , download speeds are better in potato than their hubs and you’d get better customer service from a lamppost than one of their staff keeping you on hold through till your mid 20’s

    horrible customer service. kept me at home all day just to inform me that the engineer has postponed the visit to tomorrow on his own! while the system still gave today's date and sent confirmations on the arrival of the engineer. customer service has no idea and just apologizes. worst provider ever. don't even think of trusting BT. they will screw you over their monopoly position over and over.

    I've never left a review for a company before so I think that says enough. I would advise anyone to leave BT alone. Absolute crooks. Increase the price whenever they choose. Always make everything in their favour. They charge you for everything. Tell you that you can't cancel till they say pretty much even though they know my internet is faulty. The TV service is dreadful and about 20 years behind sky. When you phone you'll be passed around departments for fun. Please avoid them. Price started at £45 a month then shortly into my contract they upped it to £53 because they can! Oh and we had a month of trouble 18 months ago with the 4k box as well. Will not miss them. Got to wait another month till I'm free. Never again will I gone with BT.

    The worst provider I've ever been with. The connection always goes down, is ridiculously slower than what I was told I would get when it does work, and they were 2 weeks late installing it. Couldn't hate a company more!

    I have been a bt customer for 3 years, my contract is for 42mb/sec I get about 4mb/sec tops! @£29pcm if your a day late in paying which happens to me a lot as I'm on benifets you get disconnected which includes a charge of £12.99! 5his months bill was £41.98, I spoke 5o a lovely woman in India who was quite helpfull but not overly so. BT is a terrible broadband provider when it comes to the money grabing scheme, as for the actual broadband its slow at best depending on the server your connected to, for example if your watching the YouTube it's slow to the point that 6our video will start and stick to a very low quality like 480p until you manually up it to 1080p, general Internet page searching is not fast like pre 1mb speeds however if connecting to a Microsoft server for xbox I get a good deal 40 odd mb/sec which is great. You can have all this for a mer 29 quid per month. I will not be updating my contract this time and can not recommend at all.

    BT has the worse customer service iv ever dealt with, i was happy till i moved in february 2018 and i was a fibre customer, they put me on slow internet speed and didn't tell me and made me a new contract which i couldn't get out of at the time, when they claimed to put me on fibre my download speeds dropped more than the slow speed one i was getting, so after months with poor customer service and arguing i told them where to go with there broadband, i was also a mobile customer and with out my say so they claimed i said yes to cancel my mobile deals so when i was cut off i called them for 3 days trying to get the pac code so i can keep my number, cause the sims where cut off they can not generate a pac code, they may speak english but they dont understand english, i will never use them again, and i advice anyone else to go else where and save yourself the agro.

    In the last 6 months the broadband service we receive has been unreliable ranging from 2Mbps - 6Mbps. For a week we did actually get speeds of around 15Mbps, so it is really hard to understand why the service is so very poor for the majority of the time. I'm switching from BT as my Demon Internet is much more reliable.

    I won’t bore you with the story. However take the advice and do join another provider. Even though BT are a very large company they are clearly going through some serious money issues. The service is shocking and never worked properly. They will over charge you and make it near impossible for you to get your money back. Don’t be suckered in by the introductory offer, you will be better off paying more else where and the price being fixed however still receiving good full working service. BT customer service is pathetic. Again they have cut costs with over seas call centres reducing the customer service levels.

    I've put one star because there is no option for 0.
    I am a new BT customer and have been plagued with lack of service, poor customer care and incorrect billing. The time spent trying to sort this out has cost me far more than any prospective savings from lower bills for the 18 month contract period and I wish I never switched.
    It took BT over a month to connect me from the first visit.In that time BT closed tickets telling me the problem was solved yet I did not have the service I was being charged for. Just as I finally get sent an engineer that knew what he was doing and does connect me, I am incorrectly charged £130 for the engineer visit. This fee is only meant to apply where the fault is with the customer (either on their property or with their equipment). This was not the case with me and I was told by the engineer that the fault was further down the line.
    I do not like the way BT assume the customer is in the wrong at every step of the way. I am complaining to get the matter rectified, but I bet there are many people who do not understand what they are being charged for and just pay the money. This has been a terrible customer journey. I do not only NOT RECOMMEND, I would actively say GO ANYWHERE ELSE!

    Multiple week delays on installation leaving me without internet for a period despite having left a generous overlap with my previous provider (Hyperoptic). Thankfully hyperoptic were able to extend my previous package without issue to cover this. My new BT internet cuts out on a regular basis. Speeds slower than previous provider. Signed up in April, 2 months later they raised my package price by 15%. Apparently I missed a letter and have now cannot dispute this. Customer service unhelpful, generally unable to answer simple questions. Very unimpressed, service with other providers has been far better.

    Absolutly disgusted with bt I'm a new broadband customer and my service was supposed to have been activated last Tuesday today a week later still no broadband.After numerous heated conversations and a visit from an engineer I still have no broadband.I have now been told another engineer will be out on Monday..Nobody seems to know what they are doing it's a wonder they have any customers if this is how they treat a new one . I will be cancelling my contract that hasn't even started. You have been warned
