BT Home Broadband Reviews

There is a lack of communication between BT and me. My broadband package expired this September, but BT doesn't contact me to inform this and charged £20 extra this month. It was ridiculous to pay £63.49 to pay for the broadband package?!
I complained about this issue over the phone, one staff advised me to continue working with BT and was able to offer me £36.99 for the broadband and line. I ended the call as I wanted to have a conversation with my partners but was not told the price would be different next time! I called in twice afterward and was offered £37.99 and £39.99. Everytime I called in and ended up with disppointment and the problem couldn't be solved at all. I am so disppointent with the service and price offered. It is defiitely a wrong choice to work with BT and it lets me down all the time!!! Never come back again!

Just terrible. Have been with BT for over twenty years, the broadband has been really bad over the last five years or so.
Stuttering movies, drop outs and terrible customer service.

I cancelled because of the many price rises and when your tied into a contract there's little you can do. The service was relatively good but did go off on many occasions. Absloutley discusted with them. We cancelled well with the 30 notice and they decide that they are going to charge us for the next month and once the final bill is generated then they will refund us...after 7-10 days. Be different if we owed them. Waffle on about the terms and conditions but where's the consideration. Just out to Rob your money so glad I cancelled. Been passed about departments for an hour minutes absloute rubbish!!!!

OK where to start.
Spoke to sale person on Wednesday 19th September at 11.30 am. We ordered Business broadband with 4g assure we went with the 4g assure package because we run a ecommerce business and needed internet access before our line was installed. The sales person promised me the router would be delivered first thing Thursday morning. i was initially impressed. Thursday came and went no router Friday came and went no router i thought it must be delivered Saturday you guessed it no router Saturday.

Monday morning 24th September great router delivered
Plugged it all in no 4g assure working (we have a strong 4g signal in our unit)
50 phone calls later, now Wednesday 26th was promised by a person high up in BT another router would be delivered the next working day.

Thursday 27th no router
Friday 28th Royal mail have been and no router.
Final straw i phoned and cancelled

synopsis
over 50 telephone calls hours of my time wasted
very frustrated

if i could give zero star i would
Trying to get hold of someone in BT now to claim compensation guess that will be another 50 calls

I am a company, we contacted BT to connect a new line and broadband.
the engineer arrived on the monday as planned, but did not install a new line, I was told a survey for an extra cable was needed, this I was told would be within 48 hours and my new line would be fitted by the end of that week.
after no response and calls I finally get told the survey would not happen until nearly two weeks later and the line installation a date could not be given.
So we are moving in to an office with nice new computers, desks and chairs,,, even a nice coffee machine, but no telephones or broadband! We are a service company, with no telephones!!!
BT you are without a doubt the most pathetic organisation I have had the misfortune to deal with. The Legal case stars now!!

I wish there was an option of 0 star. Worst customer services. Charges are 2 X more than Voda and speed is also half. Can wait to get rid of them....

We moved and needing reconnecting. The date we will given didn’t go ahead and had to wait another week. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The staff really don’t care and don’t want to deal with you. I wish we didn’t sign up again and will be looking at leaving them in the future. Be aware people they take your money and don’t do what they say they will.

I have gone to the BT web site. Entered my postcode and ordered the fastest broadband+TV package available. The technician has visited in 4 days to install (This is unbelievable right? 4 days only. What an improvement!)
He told me that the line can't support such high speeds so I need to cancel the order and get another package. I have called BT Support, it took 2-3 days to cancel the existing package and they told me that they will order internally for the new one. They ordered the same old package with activation date 15 days ahead. Guys are this a joke?!! Compared to international standards (I can get a broadband in 1 day in any country other than Europe) this is not only silly, it is a rotten service standard. Why the hell everyone has to wait for lazy Open Reach bustards for 15 days to get a connection? Get lost.

I moved into a brand new development mid July and received confirmation that I could place an order for broadband on the 31st July. I called as soon as I had the confirmation to place the order the same day. I was assured that once the hub had arrived, I needed to follow the instructions and that I should have a full working service by 3rd August. The 3rd August comes around and the hub had a steady amber light which indicates an Internet problem. I followed the troubleshooting instructions which sent a signal to BT telling them there was an issue. I received a text message the next day 4th August telling me they needed to book an engineer to attend the property and the earliest time they could do this was the 15th August. Due to the nature of my job, I am unable to take time off for scenarios like these and therefore my mother attended the property for me. The gentlemen told my mother that he couldn’t fix the problem and gave us a code which I had to relay to the BT complaints team. It turns out that Openreach had wired up the lines externally incorrectly and another engineer needed to attend to fix the lines. The earliest they could do it was exactly a week later. Wednesday comes around, the day the engineer is coming to repair the lines and the day I was promised for the 3rd time that I’d have a working connection . I receive a telephone call to say unfortunately they were unable to carry out the works and they can’t give me an indication of when it will be fixed. During this period, I’d racked up a large mobile phone bill due to data upgrades that I really needed as I was exchanging emails from the site team of the development regarding to snagging lists and meetings as well as trying to set up the other utility bills in the house. I expressed to BT that I’d had to add on this extra data due to the circumstances I have noted above. A gentlemen told me not to worry and that I would be refunded and all I needed to do was send them a copy of my mobile phone invoice. I called the day before the engineer was supposed to arrive the first time just to double check the times and also to reconfirm what was said to me regarding the data refund. The women had no idea what I was talking about and said that BT do not under any circumstances offer this kind of compensation. She opened a complaint and told me that they would look back through the pre-recorded telephone conversation and would get someone from the complaints team to call me back with a resolution to this problem. This did not happen. I was not actually offered any kind of compensation until the phone call I received from the young lad who had to tell me the engineers couldn’t fix the telephone lines. Even then, all I was offered was £50.00 credit on our account which didn’t even cover the cost of the data upgrades anyway. Any how, I get home the night of the telephone line scenario and the broadband was working. I sat there confused as to why they phoned me to tell me that the service wasn’t fixed and wouldn’t be for some time.. I tried to call to let them know the service was fixed but I never managed to get through to anybody. I had a holiday booked for the 27th August which they was aware of. Whilst I was away, I was inundated with emails telling me I still had no broadband and they didn’t know when it would be fixed. I decided to ignore these numerous messages as I was on my holiday. When I returned the broadband was working so I made another 2 phone calls and an email to tell them the service is working. A week later at 7:30am I received a phone call from an engineer who was outside my property telling me he was here to install my broadband. I had absolutely no knowledge that any visit was booked to install any broadband? I’d called them a week earlier and told them it was working.. I had to turn the engineer away and filed another complaint for the lack of communication. I come home today and the broadband hub is a steady amber light meaning there’s a problem with the connection. Just when I finally thought that the situation had been put to bed, the monster comes out the closet and here we are again waiting for an engineer to come to my property and tell me they can’t fix it again and they don’t know when it will be fixed. Here’s to another racked up phone bill which I will have to pay and a sky cinema package which is totally useless. Here’s to more emails between myself and BT and more broken promises. If I had the choice to take my service elsewhere, I would but unfortunately due to the type of internet that I can have in my property due to an arrangement between BT and the building company, I have no choice but to hand money over to company that cannot even provide a service. Nothing but stress and aggravation since the day I placed the order. Gutting.

Terrible costumer service with poor broadband network provided i have 4g network on phone faster then their cable connection dint get any help from-the operators are just passing my call from one to other put on hold and then close the call.
They charged 30£+ extra a month at the end of contract refusing to give any money back or offer you a deal.
What BT are doing is lure good deal with new costumers and as soon are hooking you on contract they just ignore you but are very good on charge extras.
For the peace of mind stay away from them unless like me you had no other options as they run all lines
One star ratings is too much for them.

not sure why there are so many negative reviews; we have had BT broadband/phone for 11 months now; never had any problems, fast speed (usually around 50 MBps - as 'promised') reliable landline - only reason we're (probably) going to change is that the initial 12 months discount expires... and now things get really expensive :(

My first experience with BT Broadband, which was a quick fix for my VOIP requirement, is that the engineer didn't even turn up and I have to wait three more days for an update. Rubbish!

Strongly not recommending BT!!!
BT Breached all codes of practices and they simply don’t care!
Charging for the speed of 67 MB, delivering a speed below 11MB, insisting to get me paying full contract of 18 months even though their emails says I had to pay only for the service I have received!!! Ignoring my calls and emails even on social media so the 14 days would pass so you would have to pay the termination fees!!!
No matter how many years you have been a loyal customer, Just Wait till you have a problem and this is when they all get very rude to you starting from advisers up till managers!!!

Diabolical customer service. They frequently fail to call back even when escalated to personal case manager. Engineers that come out are clueless and don't report back the problems, end result is order Jan and cancelled in September with no line even being fitted.

It’s really horrible and poor service . I move from London as well I call one customer assistant just change and not inform enginier for change Bt connect again I called them what happen I don’t have internet connect . Then another assistant told me it’s only change Adress mention your profile not move your line mention . As well they gave me new contract but without internet . They told me it will be connect inside 24 but not next day I call them every body just only talk with me just 1 minute then cut call , I am really tired , when I told I wanna leave then they stay with me long time without cut my call . Never join with Bt , expensive even poor service .

Utterly useless company. 6hours on the phone, always the same response with all of their staff... I'm sorry to hear that, let me sort it out... then they dont.

I ran up Virgin and within 20 mins got my wifi at £10 cheaper and it was up and running within 3 days.

AVOID THIS COMPANY

miserable services, totally disappointed.paid £7.99 for a one-day voucher and never got the code. tried contacting customer support and all 4 operators I have asked for help have shut the chat window.
most rude, unhelpful and useless people i have ever seen in customer service!
basically, i have paid for some services i still cannot use and their operators refuse to help.
this calls for a complaint to financial ombudsman, i would have never thought that bt is stealing customers' money! shame on you!

Switched from another company to BT and had a horrible experience. Their TV service is different from their competitors (Virgin and SKY) meaning I had to rewire all the aerial/antenna system. Also, you need the tv box to be connected to the router, which is not so obvious. I have my router net to my computer for work reasons, and I cannot have my computer next to my phone line and TV at the same time. SO I had to turn my house upside down just to get the cable connected in the right place.
The installation engineer came and did not even open the router, he said I could do it myself.
Total madness

excellent customer service - glasgow call centre of all places!

i've never had any problems with the internet.

wanted to switch to cheaper broadband provider but was put off by the bad reviews of other isps.

call and haggle for better price at the end of your contract - if need be call more than once. they do reward loyal customers.

Would give zero if possible. I was with EE and BT 'slammed' my line, cutting me off. EE tried to contact BT to get the line back but BT refused, I contacted them myself and got no where. I had nothing to do with this company yet they managed to cut my internet off due to their own error and then refused to fix it. No internet for 3 weeks, eventually had to leave EE and go with Virgin as they have their own phone lines.
