    DO NOT USE BT!!! - If you even consider using their service, DON'T!!!! Please - if you are looking at broadband and are reading this, take it from my first hand personal experience that these criminals want your money and nothing more!! I had signed a contract with BT and it took them 3 months.... 3 MONTHS to actually get the internet to work, this involved calls nearly everyday of which the representative on each occasion had no idea that I had called the day before and made me go through the same steps every time to check my broadband was working then said "call tomorrow and see if it repairs the issue". They made me do this for weeks! Then said they had sent out hardware which they hadn't as each time I called, the representative then told me that nothing had been sent and they themselves would send out the hardware... that took 3 attempts. Had I have wasted as much of their time as they had of mine I am sure they would charge me for that too!!

    THEN - when I complained they offered me a £10 compensation... £10.... 10 measly pounds after which by this point the contract had cost me nearly £150... for no internet!! That is like robbing a guy and not going to court for it!! Then when I ask to leave they want me to pay the full contract. which is 2 years long! Needless to say, they can't get their act together, they are absolute CRIMINALS!!!!

    I sincerely hope that NOBODY even thinks of using this service, it is slow, expensive and the hardware they provide you with would be better off being used as a frisbee. ABSOLUTE UTTER RUBBISH!!!

    Shocking service, previously with sky who I left because of cost, BT infinity is supposed to be great but the internet suffers in drops constantly, the fault was reported and an engineer booked who failed to arrive, I called BT to ask where the engineer was and was told that it had been cancelled due to having been looked at by another team from BT who found no fault funny that as when I was on the phone to BT the internet failed again! no email, text or call to tell me that it had been cancelled, so please save yourself stress and time and go elsewhere, BT has now been cancelled after only 2 months without any penalties due to them admitting that they are useless.

    Disgraceful service. Order placed in early dec and no connection in mid March . I have formally complained and been put into "intensive Care". This involves an off shore person calling me with incoherent updates every week using technical jargon that they are reading off of a screen, and nothing now happens automatically and requires human intervention which doesn't happen. So, step 2 gets completed and step 3 doesn't get initiated until I get on the phone and chase. I have wasted 8 days off of work, and am drained. Dreadful, dreadful service especially the offshore "intensive care " team. I am cancelling my order without getting connected, after around 30 phone calls and 8 days off of work I am drained by it. The regulator should revoke their licence.

    Do not sign up to BT they will take your money and not give you what you are paying for. forget customer services they are a waste of space. they will give you features you dont want and charge more and be unable to do anything about it. Sky are a million miles better and will move back as soon as possible. was grossly misold the product and am very very unhappy. will never use or trust BT again.

    AWFUL , signed up to a broadband deal which was advertised to include 18 months free bt sport , they then didn't honor it and blamed me for not ordering it right when i followed the link and it was plastered all over the screen stating i would get it. they then said they would give me ten pounds goodwill which was not good enough as i moved from sky which was cheaper to get this bt sport deal. awful customer service.

    I'm very very disappointed since I've joined bt I'm spending £31 on only broadband yet I've been over charged a few times which was bt fault and claims its a mistake!and due to that I ended up getting debts from the bank each time. Costumer services always give you different information .I also have waisted allot of monthly minutes on just contacting bt. You are losing a jenuinly lovely costumer who quiet frankly had enough and will be thinking of cancelling contract.

    BT Infinity is a waste of time, energy and money. They are incapable of delivering on their own contract terms. Dismissive, rude and obnoxious customer service when trying to complain and escalate unresolved issues. Stay well away if you actually want any kind of decent service.

    As my current BT broadband/calls package is costing £37.99pm, I checked on BT website to find that "new customers" can get the package for £24.99. So I used the online chat - after a very long wait for an adviser - to ask if I could get a cheaper deal (or quit BT!). Eventually was rung and passed over to a sales adviser to whom I complained I felt I was paying too much and what better deal could he offer. He first offered a contract which was only £6 cheaper, then when I prevaricated he offered a 2 yr contract at £29pm - but only if I placed the order there and then (altho I would have 14 days to cancel on receipt of their confirming email). It was stated that if I didn't take the deal today, there was no guarantee it would be available on a subsequent enquiry!! Needless to say, I told him I was going to explore a different provider, and I hung up!! Bully boy tactics I will not abide.

    Oh...dear...a month ago my internet went offline. Engineer came out then it took a week to fix. A month later its down again. Call for engineer first meeting missed, arrange another, that was also missed too! Called to find out whats going on only to find put problem with exchange and ports...not acceptable. Its still down now and has been now for 2 weeks out of a month and keep blaming the ports and the exchange like they think we wont know wjat they mean when im involved in IT. They dont know what the problem is and the service is poor. I will not recommend bt to anyone. Avoid.

    As existing BT customer just attempted to upgrade from copper to fibre (Infinity) Broadband. As usual with BT this has worked OK technically, but horrendously / comically badly in terms of dealing with BT admin.
    Started with an appalling website, very difficult (for a very frequent online user) to determine current package and costs; rip-off prices for loyal customers (new customer deals for £25/ month are £50/month for existing!); after two phone calls agreed a better price, but order confirmation entirely wrong (standard prices); two phone calls, one formal complaint and a month and not sorted out the pricing. BT = B??? Terrible!

    I foned on the 8th March , afternoon, I had a BT guy at my door by 845 the next morning in Dunoon. The man was very friendly and explained things very well and resolved my problem and I felt that he did his job very well. All I know is he has jinger hair and works in dunoon. Great asset to your company.

    I was recommended BT after ringing a company that would stop my contract with Virgin Media and set up a new contract with BT in my new area (VM doesn’t provide its services in Old Colwyn otherwise I’d have stayed with them) and I have never been so disappointment in my 5 years of living alone. I got told that my tv box and internet hub would be delivered on the 08/01/2018 which it was. And the engineer would be coming out on the morning of 09/01/2018 to install and set everything up for us. On the 09/01/2018 everything was also meant to go live(which it didn’t!!). No engineer turned up but when I opened the boxes, I found instructions that I was to set it all up myself. So I did and nothing. Rang BT to be spoken to like dirt and laughed at because I wasn’t sure if I had done it right. The woman hung up on me so my husband called back the next day as nothin was working still. The kind gentleman apologised and told us that he couldn’t get an engineer out until the following week. Following Tuesday, a young man came out and set it all up for me and left without seeing if it was working(which it was not) so another phone call to BT and they wanted me to wait a further two weeks for another engineer. I told them that was fine but I wasn’t paying for my services for the time I didn’t have them. The guy started shouting at me down the phone and hung up on me, AGAIN!! Two weeks & several phone calls later, someone came out to my house and told me that the box didn’t work and he get them to send out another. 10 days later that turned up and I still wasn’t receiving the services. By this time I’d lost count of how many hours myself and my husband had spent on the phone to BT and they agreed to take money off my bill. SIX POUND was all they could take off my bill when 5/6 weeks into having the contract I had no services. I fought until I was blue in the face and eventually they let the bill go. I told them I wanted to leave BT & they told me it was £700 to cancel with them bc I was past the time line. BY ONE DAY!! They are bullies and their customer service is disgusting. Eventually they agreed I could come out of the contract after I threatened to take them to trading standards!! AVOID JOINING BT AT ALL COSTS. I’ve had to keep my internet contract with BT and I don’t haven’t had a problem since I was guided over the phone how to fix this. But I still wouldn’t recommend.

    Absolutely the worst customer services I have ever encountered! Three appointments now moved to have install and one was given to someone else when my wife waited in from 8am until 6pm for a 8am to 1pm appointment. New date confirmed and then a call to reschedule further down the line again. No one interested in sorting after explaining the issue to three different people in different departments! Dread to think what it would be like when you eventually receive the services!
