BT Home Broadband Reviews

Haven’t even had broadband from them. Signed up over two weeks ago. Got told I would be connected and have internet by 12am on the 12/10 (over a week after I signed up). Engineer turned up and “sorted” everything. 13/10 and no internet. Get an email saying I’d have internet by 23/10. Both my partner and myself rely on the internet for work. I called them and the person I spoke to advised there was an issue with the exchange and said she has spoken to the engineer manager and manages to pull it forward to the 18/10. Got a text message 17/10 saying it would be the 23/10 again. Called and was advised they could not get an engineer out and I would have to wait for the original date. They will not compensate for the money my partner and I have lost in wages due to having no internet as we are not commercial customers. Called Virgin Media and they said they would send router out and would have internet in TWO DAYS. No engineer required. Never been more angry in my life.

the worst isp we've ever been with. currently getting speeds of approx 0.5mb/s and 600ms ping. called the customer service several times, they have been no help. lost cause of a service. also it became apparent that when we bought fibre optic and they installed it, they were supposed to install a new splitter for the phone/internet line but they left us with an old outdated one. outstanding.

Too expensive

Absolutely ridiculous service. I have been with BT for years. Recently I decided to change providers because the cost of their service is just ridiculous in comparison to other similar services. After switching provider to the Post Office I received a call from a BT customer support agent. The agent promised me a reduced price at £20 and included a £50 gift voucher to keep me to stay. After 3 months, still no sign of the gift voucher and emails about it ignored. The price has gone up to £24 without any warning. Avoid at all costs.

Rubbish

It's so bad. For years it has droped out, slows down and just does not work. We have been with BT for years, it's been really bad for the last five. The support team exists, but they are experts on sending people on a wild goose. We must have spent weeks on the phone with them over the years. Unfortunately, if you leave, you lose your email addresses. So it feels like a bit of a trap. I would advise anybody to avoid if you can, there are much better and more reliable providers for the money.

Very disappointed. Raised our price after a yer from 33 to 54 quid, this is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. By reading more and more reviews I see that that seems to be the problem with everyone all the time. They value drawing in customers and screwing them over and you better be sure as hell that I am NOT coming back to them ever again. You can catch me at TalkTalk getting higher speed, reliability AND lower prices. We're paying for what exactly with BT? Most of the times I'd have my connection drop, their customer service is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND and they screw you over without even notification, an email maybe like HEY dudes, we're gonna raise your internet price with 21 quid now? Naaaah... who gives a crap about the customers themselves right?

I am very unhappy with BT. I have had many problems since joining the latest today is my new expensive iPhone charge is not working after a few weeks of having the phone and Bt said even under warranty they will not replace it very disappointed

The hours i have spent on the phone to this company is beyond belief. AVOID in the end switched to XNL for business very professional and great communications and they answer the phone within 5 seconds. Should the big wigs be brought in front of a parliamentary committee and drilled about why they are providing a unacceptable service!

wifi never works. absolutely shit. don’t buy by wifi. simples.

Absolutely amazing service had no internet since yesterday the bloke came out today to fix it even though we have gale force winds and rain he came 10am and it wosint sorted till about 4pm bless him he'd been out in it all day customer service was amazing too thank you so much BT

Just spoke to Matthew at your Blackburn centre re my order for upgrade to fibre broadband.
He dealt with my query efficiently and in a very polite manner.

Been with BT for over 25 years and the price increased to over £75 pm. They wouldn't budge on price so I switched. Best thing I ever did. My broadband speed has increased from 13mbps to 21mbps even though I'm on the minimum speed (and I was paying for a premium broadband speed from BT). Cost is less than 50% of what I was paying previously.

I bought a 5-day wifi from them thinking that I will be able to connect from home. Although I live in Reading near the centre, there was no signal, not even close.
So I called customer support to cancel it and get the refund. They said they can't do it and I need to do it online.
I've managed to cancel this wifi online without using it at all, but never got the refund from BT. Poor.

Wow!!

Absolutely terrible customer services! They are billing me more that my contracted sum and cannot get anyone from customer services to resolve the matter. BT clearly do not value their customers and from my experience are totally incompetent at dealing with customer services issues.

Absoloute crap. Never had anything like it. Says it is connected but that is horse****.drops out every five minutes, requiring you to sign completely back in.wont load anything.wont let you send or receive your ******* messages. And I’m paying over £90 for this ****. Would never recommend. EVER.

I cannot put into words how bad BT are. I can safely say that they are the WORSE company i have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
There staff are poorly informed poorly trained and they even cut me off when they couldn't sort the issues. I swapped to a business line as they told me i would get a better broadband connection.. only thing thing they are good at is billing you. They swapped my line to business and kept billing me for residential too. 10 months being charged double..
This company needs a serious overall. If i could put a minus score i would. If anyone out there could avoid using BT i would higly recommend it.
Complete utter wasters. Service rubbish customer service rubbish.

If I could put no stars I would. Ive just never been through something like this in 2018 I cant get the speed higher than 2mbs and I've called them 5 times to try and sort it and apparently the fault has never gone through. They're totally unreliable. Im paying 45 gbp a month for practically no internet and no one has managed to successfully put my fault through to open reach. An absolute incompetent provider. I wish I could move!

As soon as the contract is over with BT I will never ever use them again for anything at all. Can not say enough about how f****** awful they are. Broadband speed is okay but reliability is beyond a joke!!! I had better connections when you used to have to dial your phone line to get connected to Internet. I cannot stress enough to everyone around reading this too not go near BT! Every time I try and I mean try to get a reason or figure out why our internet doesn’t work most of the time every time the response I get is try plugging it in and out. Absolutely ridiculous! Final straw was I tried to use the online chat service and after them asking for my details several times through three different folk they ended up cutting us off! I am appalled that people still use these shower of cons
