TERRIBLE!! Do not buy. Not only is the connection slow, its not even full bars. Thats bad in itself but the worth part of this all has to be 100% be that IT LOGS YOU OUT FREQUENTLY. At random times it will just turn off and you have to go into your settings and log in ALL OVER AGAIN. I bought for a day and within the first two hours i had already logged in 10 different times because it kept going off! Avoid at all costs.

Hello All,
Should be NO STARS on the whole drop down of ratings
Seriously, this has got to be the worst internet service I have ever come across. I´ll go as far as to say it was woeful. I regrettably paid for a month's service as I live outside of the UK and needed a stable service. So bad that on their website I thought I would lodge a complaint via the ombudsman and whilst trying to connect it tilted and failed as I had tried on numerous occasions to follow their trouble shooting remedies, to no avail.
I thought BT of all providers was going to up there as they are most certainly not cheap (as in you pay for what you get).
Every time you, or any one of us three, namely my wife and brother tried to use the service, we had to repeatedly log on and within a short time we lost service. you literally had to stand stationary in the house, service was lost immediately you left the house.
I could not use the service at ANYTIME on a trip from London to Exeter not even at Luton airport upon departure.
Consumption of service on the occasions that I was able to view it was, negligible.
Rounding up, this BT service failed me, the customer.
This was an expensive service so poor value for money.
This BT service, on this occasion was not fit for purpose. and I would not recommend to another.
Shocking when you can´t even lodge a complaint via their ombudsmen link, obviously, I´ve had to use another provider in order to lodge a complaint but at the material time it was not possible.
I hope this feedback proves useful to others, thanks for reading.

The service is absolutely atrocious I get no access to the wifi whatsoever and all in all, I’m genuinely so disappointed and upset about it as I really need this wifi to work for my work and academic reasons. I have to waste money to switch because your systems don’t work. Actually so angry about it.

Deplorable service! Disgusting wi-fi! Waste of money! The management of the company is so bad that employees don't know what they are doing. By mistake, they turned off the Internet at our home without warning, and they have not been able to connect for the second day. I bought Wi-Fi on Demand because I have to work from home - a waste of money. Every half hour, you need to re-login; the speed is very plodding. We have the same problems with business! For ten months, no one from the company, even the top management, could figure out the connection errors made by their own employees! Every day starts with calls to BT. Avoid this company!!!

Dreadful! Absolute waste of money. I would have preferred to put no stars as my rating. Only able to access the internet for very short periods of time before loosing the connection. I wish I had read these reviews before buying 30 days of nothing

This is quite honestly the worst experience I've ever had in any form of service. I signed up for bt hotspot WiFi and at first was pretty good. Not the best but manageable for my needs. But then after my first monthly payment, on that same day I completely lost signal. I managed to find some WiFi and made a written complaint. Oddly enough my WiFi came back on 6 days after the same day I received the email back from the two working day reply policy they have. And told me to contact the technical department. Well after I had been reconnect anyway, all I've experienced is disconnectios, and has been gradually getting worse and worse. Today I have been disconnected at least 20 times. And the connection is extremely weak at the moment. It can't even load a picture on a webpage. If tried all sorts of routes to complain. Was advices to a link on there complaints page ironically it disconnected as I was trying to do this. Eventually got on hoping I could do a simple email complaints. Oh know just found automatic questions that had know relevance to my complaint about the hotspot. I've now left 12 email complaints hoping this will annoy them as much as I'm currently annoyed. I even disconnected twice trying to write this. It seems that they lure you in then bang a first payment happens than all goes downhill from there. I have to say, I am shocked that a national company are able to still operate in this way given the amount of complaints they obviously receive. I could understand it if I was paying £5 per month, but £26 for hotspot not to properly work?! Why even have the service if it's that bad. It's obviously a scam of some description. This needs investigation surely. There is acts in law that should prevent these things from happening. especially when money is being paid for a service.

AVOID!!! I paid for a daily internet on demand, I could save myself the money and trouble! Problems to access the internet, problems to log in, once connected it keeps disconnecting all the time without any reason, and loading any page takes ages! Basically after 2 hours of trying to check my email I havent managed to do anything. Worst service ever!

I bought 5 days as we were on holiday near Buxton in the Peak District. A hotspot came up and I thought it would be a good idea to save using my phone and incurring extra charges. What a mistake. A total waste of £20. Absolutely useless.

I paid for hotspot to tide me over while I wait for new home connection (not bt cause of price and delay) but need internet for work. FFS literally have to log back in every 30 seconds cause connection drops?

As I was in the process of moving house and didn't want to have to subscribe to another 12-month BT contract I decided to try out the service as it was cheaper than being on the rolling BT Infinity contract.
After about 2 weeks use, what a waste of time. The connection is very unreliable, despite my Wifi scanner picking up about 5 different APs and the connection having full 5 bars. The response time can go into the 3+ seconds with packet loss as high as 75%.
My iPad on 4G is more reliable than this.
If like me you need to work from home, don't rely on this...a carrier pigeon would be quicker.

I try to use hotspots when in the West and North of Scotland. Used to be O.K. Not always there but once you connected, it was not too bad. Now in the last 12 months the message comes up every time "cannot connect". I have moved my locations but clearly the hotspots have weakened to the point of uselessness. Now almost a waste of time. So called Super Hotspots, well there is one about 150 metres away and I cannot even get a signal. Did they give up or do they turn everything off when they shut the office door at 5p.m.?

Christ. It's 2020. At £7.99 for a days usage you would think it would work like even Elon Musk could depend on it. But no, it's more like an artificially intelligent spiv. It's the Arthur Daley of internet connections.
Got me out of a jam though...

Possibly the worst wifi hot spot! complete waste of money! I spent £40 of this hot spot and it cuts out constantly and sometimes wont rejoin! Much better just topping up your mobile data than using BT Wifi Hotspot!

Reviewing Date Ratings
Have to disable WiFi, wait 5 seconds, re enable WiFi, wait 5 seconds, go to Google, fall on landing page, select WiFi, click login, wait 5 seconds then try to go online. Sometimes you have to do this 4 times, a session may last only 20 seconds until you have to repeat the above process. I often have more than a dozen used login tabs after a half hour of internet use. Customer service admit how bad it is. Word of note - the contract is unfair under the 1974 unfair contracts act - compensation cannot be limited. You will get your money back if you quote this and consumer protection act and sale of goods act(services(fitness for purpose).
To sum up; a bad, slow, unreliable, infuriating service with no guarantee in the contract except that you pay the fee even if the service is not provided. Contract is wholly invalid, further to that the contract is in broken English with multiple spelling, grammar, syntax and denotation errors.

Worst internet service ever. It’s been 4 days that I cannot connect to the wifi. You guys take money monthly without any hesitation but you don’t provide satisfactory service. Very high price comparing to your service. Awful internet till date. WORST internet ever.

Lately the service has been very poor. Seems like 50% of the time I cannot connect to the internet.
Had very good Customer Service a few weeks ago regarding my account - staff are great but connection can be egregioous.

Waste of money. Signal is strong enough to sign up. Sign-up impressive. Very responsive. Since then. Max 2 mins. Low powered signal. Signed up for 1 month based on the speed of the marketing page. Won't do it again.

Maybe works half the time. Won't stay connected for very long. I would hope to pay for a full month of the internet with the price it was that it would be decent speed and reliability that's a lie. I feel scammed out of my money. Don't purchase unless absolutely necessary and maybe then look for other ways to get internet.

If you have ever had BT broadband and don't any longer then DO NOT buy the packages from the hotspot use your old details to access the hotspot, i had BT broadband 2 years ago then one day a hot spot was installed around 50 yards from my property so one day i tried to use my old details (Bt account) and it connected me with no issues now i don't even pay for my internet and further more install BTwifi app when out and about it connects you straight away no signing each time you want connected, The connection to the hotspot allows me to watch videos online and even use it to play games online, I connect my pc to the hotspot then turn my PC into a Virtual Hotspot so everyone in my home can use the internet.

Absolutely terrible.
After taking £39 this set up can't keep me online for more than 5 minutes without knocking me off.
I'm sure there will be no refund available. Just don't waste your money with this scam
