BT Home Broadband Reviews

Utter rubbish since getting bt I have nothing but trouble always getting cut off with internet signal saying authentication problem. I reset hub more than once still didn't resolve it I restarted. Y phone making sure that wasn't the problem still didn't solve it. I can't connect to my hub and neither can my kids customer service only open till 22:45am from 7:30am no one on live chat after 22:45 I checked my service in my area it said that the was no faults which must be a load of BS I can't log in with my husbands details (as he is the account holder) kept saying I put the password in wrong to many times,even though it works when I use bt openzone when I am out and about.

2 Years and we have had a fault every week. We have spent days off work waiting for engineers to come round, we have had our business disrupted constantly (self-employed) and lots thousands of pounds through downtime being unable to operate, we have spent the equivalent of what must now be days on the phone trying to raise fault notifications and complaints and we get nowhere. We get charged full price for a service which is operational 50% of the time. We get no compensation and ultimately, the issue never gets fixed. We are leaving.

I had the ‘20’mb connection. Equating to roughly 1-2mb at peak times and about 4mb at its very best. Can’t even watch a film at peak times with good quality picture.rendering it near enough useless in the evening.
Was told that unless I dip below 0.5mb download then that’s still acceptable. That’s 2.5% of what’s advertised. 2.5%!!!
Avoid at all costs. Had to pay £100 to leave my contract early.

Shocking customer service, read all these negative reviews before joining but thought I knew better and try it out, regretting this decision now, will see my options as I am without a phoneline and broadband since BT cancelled my Sky subscription without properly processing my order, so now left without anything for minimum 2 and a half weeks, the customer service when I rang up was the worst I've ever known, no one could help me, and the lies and deception from them to get rid of me and transfer me to department tondeoaetment was bad.

Total rip off artists. Waited 3 weeks for an install and then 6 months layer got a charge by dd for £240!

Most shocking customer service Ihave probably ever experienced ! Systems and ways of ordering are utterly shambolic ! I moved house and could not get my new service sorted despite many phone calls and hours of my time . Told something different every single time I called . Got given a 2 month post move date for activation then when tried to order new order online got given a date for a week ! It’s a complete joke of a service . I have been with lots of internet providers none of which have been great but BT tops it by a million miles as most shambolic chaotic service with systems in place that are inadequate staff that are either useless or are completely crippled in what they can do by their computer systems . Would not recommend to anyone and as soon as my contract is up I will be leaving no matter how good their tv packages are ..... it’s just not worth the hassle when things go wrong , If my dealing of problems in
My job we’re the same I would have been sacked a long time ago !

Shocking customer service - I wish I could leave and go back to Virgin but I would have to pay over £200 on the cancellation fee.

I got disconnected every hour for a whole year. I called their technical department every week to report it. Each call took at least 45 minutes, after being on hold, security questions and the tests they had to run. Every time, they told me there were no faults on the line, and therefore wouldn't send an engineer.

After complaining, an engineer was sent. He said there were loads of faults on the line and couldn't believe it had been left in such a state. When I complained, the customer service completely ignored my complaint. I escalated the complaint to Cameron Skupski, who was completely useless. I'm still awaiting a response. Horrendous experience.

I'm so ******* done with BT it's absolutely slowest internet I ever had!!!! Paying monthly is more than 50£ FOR WHAT???? Always disconnect's , very slow, and Then you try to contact services and after you trying to explain the issue they hang up the phone! You know you can find it better network for 50£ in month so I'm so done.!

I cant pick up my router from the conservatory and we're in a normal 3 bed semi. It also loses connectivity quite often. tried to get this resolved but they just run the same tests and threaten to charge me £150 to send an engineer out.

Constantly broke down and ran at speeds far below what we paid for. Customer service is awkward and clunky. At one point we had an engineer in to fix the box which he said there'd be no charge for. Then, three full months later, he apparently has decided there is a charge, resulting in our final bill being inexplicably almost to £200 instead of the £60 it should have been.

Avoid if you're a student or, for any other reason, have a fragile bank account. The amount of times we've been hit by seemingly random and unexpected charges under these guys is frankly an absolute joke.

We can't even rate Broadband speed and reliability sections because we didn't even get a connection sorted!
Simply put, we had the worst customer service experience in our life... We were recommended BT Smart Hub by EE staff and we cancelled our precious EE broadband contract and bought BT Smart Hub. It was supposed to be available from 3 weeks ago but then it never happened because of some issues BT had. We made total of 12 phonecalls to check the progress, and each call took 30-1hr. Worst thing is that none of the staff members had clear answer, nor kept a promise to call us back. So after 1 months of no internet period, we decided to cencel the contract.

It seems that their rapid growth in their business is not in parallel with the improvement of training programme for staffs... we were very disappointed and with we didn't stop using our previous router.

Thieves. The internet in my flat has not been working for a week now. Called them several times and they always say and do the same useless things. The usual switch off and on. They said that if I want to have an engineer coming to fix it I may get charged £120! It's your internet that is not working and I have to pay for it? It's a shame that there are no good broadband companies in the UK. Avoid

Took a 24 month contract and PROMISED the price was fixed for term!!!
I was lied to!!!! They increased it!! Now,after I told them I'm leaving, they phone to see if they can beat the price I've been given!!! NOT A CHANCE BY !! YOU'RE RUBBISH!!

Cuts off every day. Never works. Has been happening for the past year constantly. Kicked me off 8 times in an hour. Get sky

Complete ****. Got kicked off 8 times in 2 hours. Never works. Complained multiple times and they don't do anything. Get sky

First the positive- The broadband speed was fine and the service was reliable about 95% of the time.

And that is the only good thing I can say. the customer service is APPALLING. I have wasted hours of my life trying to get seemingly simple things sorted out. Firstly they changed the installation dates 3 times, the final time without telling me leading to costs being incurred through the previous provider (they changed it 3 days early, leading to a penalty fine from the previous provider for still being in contract). Then they didn't transfer my number. And told me they couldn't because. [insert whichever lie they decided to tell that day]. Seriously, no 2 people ever gave me the same answer as to why I had lost my phone number. Including one person who said it was impossible to even have the number! A surprise to us, as it had been our number for 3 years.... After 3 months of complaining they gave me £20 in compensation!! Then it took 9months for them to give me the award card I was owed. Because their system was wrong. You have no idea how frustrating it is being told you're wrong, when you have an email FROM BT telling me I was in fact correct. The final straw was when they raised the prices. this gave me a way to get out of my contract without a penalty and STILL they are screwing me around.

Nothing is ever easy. Everytime I contacted them I had to speak to multiple people, who would all open new complaints rather than deal with the one already open. Or insist on closing a complaint that wasn't fixed. With a few exceptions the support staff I dealt with were rude, at best incompetent and on more than one occasion lied to me.

AVOID BT AT ALL COSTS. If you have no problems you will probably be OK, but even minor problems will probably take weeks if not months to sort out.

Just shocking all round. Poor speeds, unreliable connection, poor customer service... the list goes on. BT under the misapprehension they still have a broadband monopoly. Off to Vodafone.

The most disgraceful customer service ever. All the staff are ridiculously unhelpful and have done nothing but make our lives miserable for the past 3 months. The internet did not work for 3 months and every time we called for help either someone was misleading, the staff lied or hung up during the middle of the call. Appalling service and internet connection. This company should be ashamed of the name they have built for themselves as so many people are complaining about them and so many unhappy customers. We have been lied to and spent most evenings on the phone to customer service instead of relaxing at home with the family. Tragic company and customer service. Would not recommend BT to anyone as they take you money and provide you nothing. After 14 years of being their customer I am shocked by what we have experienced.

Absolutely horrendous.

Literally furious. Why, why on earth do they exist to cause such misery.

The worst steaming pile of overpriced horsemuck.

The connection is terrible, their custom services are useless. Their website is always under maintenance when I sign in to try pay a bill, their Indian call centre is so frustrating,im done.

Going to set fire to their equipment and walk away.

STAY Away from BT.
