    They claim that they have unlimited unbreakable WiFi? Don’t even bother! It’s all just a false advertisement. Not a day passes and I regret using BT. It doesn’t even manage to stay online for 24 hours before breaking. Absolutely horrific. Rate a 0 or lower if I could

    If there is 0 stars I would not even give that to BT. Worst company ever. Charged me for account which I don't have and is on different address but under my name. Tried to solve issue since May when I found out about it after received Termination of service warning for account/ service that I don't have. Calling them trying to resolve the issue for over 6 months with answer that case is getting sorted and that they aware of the issue and that they know that I don't have account as it was closed next day after it was opened but there is system fault which they try to resolve. Case moved to BT complaints where I have got information not to worry as all will be sorted. Today I call them again and got information that it was moved to Debt collector and they can not do anything! Now after 6 months time on phone , stress, and I don't know what else I am told that they can not do anything as it is down to Debt collector and they don't want to talk with me. I need somebody else for legal advice to sort the case out for something that I never Had!

    Almost £30 per month for a broadband speed never greater than 5Mbps. Toob are quoting £25 per month for 900Mbps. Tell me how it’s not criminal for BT to get away with this. It’s disgusting that in 2023 where the whole world moves on Wifi that my grandchildren can’t stream tv shows or play on the pc. Absolutely stay away from this awful company.

    Comments:

    More than 2 weeks ago BT “accidentally ” disconnected my broadband (including a Bereavement pHone Helpline). Although mistakes can be made what followed has been unbelievable. When attempting to get the service back I found that BT have tried to make it impossible for a customer in need to speak to them. The only way to speak to a human is to go through as a customer who wants to upgrade and then ask not the advisor to put you through to connections. However, the 9 people I have spoken to at Connections are either completely incompetent or fundamentally dishonest. Each advisor I have spoken to sounds credible and has assured me that they can sort the problem out and dependent upon the advisor the service will be restored “later today, tomorrow, in three days, or 5 days”. It’s now been over 2 weeks since they made their mistake. I am still without a connection, Each time I manage to speak to somebody I am told the failure to reconnect is the fault of BT Open Reach, BT Wholesale, the advisor I previously spoke to or Sky! To top it all they have explained to me that managers will not speak to customers as they can’t tell them anything different to the advisor taking the call. When I insisted yesterday that the advisor connect me to a manager she told me that “Aaron” has only just come back from leave and has hundreds of things to do so is too busy, I did not accept that so she spoke to him again to ask him to take my call, only to be told that he will try to call me within 3 to 5 days.

    Absolutely disgusting after many calls and checks pressing buttons and doing the work for them on all the checks. Engineer came said it’s an outside issue. Nothings fixed all the same. So many more calls and checks. We have received
    No call backs
    No Wi-Fi
    No TV
    No phone
    After 20 years of being with them
    Let’s understand you want to charge us for a service that we don’t have

    I have ordered BT broad band over 3 weeks ago. I was given 10 days installation time. No installation, no update whatsoever for 3 weeks. I called and I was told we will have an update on 27, 28 or 29 September. Sent email to CEO of BT which was responded by someone working for him. She had all the excuses and worst CRM skill and rude attitude, she said "you want me to cancel your order" Just 10 minutes ago I received a phone call from BT telling me that first part of installation will take place on 5 October. BT needs to pay attention to customer misery if they have any sense of it.

    Customer service is almost non-existent and they constantly lie and fail to sort anything.

    Two months and things still aren't fixed. They are actually breaking the law because I cancelled the following day and by law I have a cooling off period.

    I am guessing their customer service work from home, sorry, I mean they are at home pretending to work. It's almost impossible to contact them and there's no email address contacts. They are supposed to be a communications company!

    Seriously, avoid them like the plague.

    Scum of the earth. Please, please do not ever join these. Well I joined BT for there 6 months half price deal and if id have known now what i know, I wouldn't have paid 50p a month. Cut my internet off 7 times in 5 months because they kept getting my grandad and mines accounts mixed up (he hasn't been with bt for 3 years) they kept cutting services off before billing date knowing I'm on the vulnerability list and have young children with monitors ect, took 2 double direct debits which I had to fight for to get back, way below promised spoeds, TV service was glitchy and slow. So I left to Sky, received my final bill reminded from bt £656.53 with options for payment plans ect, called the number to be told BT don't accept payment plans and its because it has already gone to a debt collection agency (when I called day I received the letter) it wad with TDX group... Or so I thought, contacted TDX to setup payment plan to be told they don't support BT as a client and it's not with them

    The worst customer service of any company I've ever dealt with, by a wide margin. I would only recommend them to my worst enemy if I wanted to be particularly cruel. We made a simple request to re-activate a broadband connection, the cable, BT box and router all still in place. After waiting an hour for the call to be answered, we were transferred to four different agents in three different departments over the next hour. The so-called customer service agents were rude and totally incompetent, only interested in selling us an upgrade on our existing connection (presumably there's a commission at stake here). Eventually they agreed to send an engineer, who took one look and said "Oh, you just need this other line reconnecting, that's easy, they've misunderstood". It wasn't in his job description of course and after another hour long phone call with Dumb and Dumber the next day, we gave up. Avoid this company if you value your sanity!

    Worst service ever. Avoid like the plague. Called to move homes on the 11th of August. An engineer was supposed to visit on the 6th of September (new address), the usual 08:00-13:00 five hour wait, no one shows up. Informed the engineer cancelled for no reason and this has been "reported internally." Appointment set up for the 19th of September, initially. Called back, appointment moved to the 11th. Engineer shows up, says he can't fix the problem and another "special" engineer or group of engineers have to attend, says that usually happens in 48 h. No one shows. Multiple calls, promised appointment by the end of the week. No one shows. New appointment for the 19th of September, no one shows. First person says Openreach cancelled appointment, second that BT never sent them the appointment. Third person promises appointment in 2 days or the next day. Appointment booked in three days. Called multiple times again, useless, no one able to help. Called again, appointment confirmed, fed up said I want to cancel my account and my money back, lady tries to convince me this "can't be done," "no one can cancel your account," refuses to put me through to manager. Between all these events, must have spent 10 h of my life on the phone with 15-20 different person from BT, at least three morning waiting for engineers, two of them ghosts. In the meantime, paying for a service I'm not receiving. Absolute scammers and fraudsters. I'd rather throw my money down the gutter than pay them another dime.

    We have had the most appalling service from BT. They were unable to arrange for Broadband to be activated in a new flat recently purchased and could not give a sensible reason. This disgusting service has cost us time and money and we have been recommended by BT to use another provider.
    I would strongly advise anyone not to use BT, the worse service I have ever received.

    Where to start on such a dismal service? Returning to a let property and having a teenager wanting fibre speeds for gaming, I chose BT Full Fibre. This was 5 years ago. They arranged an engineer to visit the property on three occasions. Three occasions they didn’t turn up. Three occasions I sat at home missing work. After the third I cancelled. Few years went by on copper, reasonably satisfied but this renewal I reached out again to BT. Distant memories of that awful service were but that, just a distant memory. This time it will be different I told myself. I stayed home. 5 hour time slot. No problem I said. Seven hours in, engineer appears. Shrugs shoulders and leaves stating he hasn’t got the equipment the installation needs and to contact BT. This I did. No apology. Thought it was completely fine to be two hours outside the appointment window. Nothing. I cancelled once more. Again. How many more times will this pathetic excuse of a company keep letting hard working people down like this? Walk away. They don’t deserve your business.
