BT Broadband Reviews

Quite possibly the most incompetent and shambolic customer service I have ever experienced! 6 phone calls and 12 hours of being on hold and passed about and we have now moved into our new home a month and still no broadband. They are completely useless! Would go elsewhere except we are still on contract. Biggest mistake ever, wish I had stayed with sky and that is saying something.

Poor signal strength, only good when in the same room as the hub. Even then the signal strength fluctuates. Rude and abrupt customer service staff calling to ask why I'm switching to another supplier. Won't be returning.

I may as well put my monthly bill money and burn it. BT are worthless is almost everything they do and offer. From day one it has been slow and broken without any response. Small print prevents me from taking action and with a completely unusable service I am stuck paying for something that’s terrible. You should be ashamed BT but I’m sure you already know this!

Hopeless! I would be embarrassed to be part of an organisation that promises so much yet delivers so little. Unreliable Broadband signal and speed; promised 4 years ago we would definitely get Fibre - and still waiting; engineer comes and everything works for about 48 hours then starts to collapse again; there's always something that's not working as it should. With all the technology available, and given how much we all rely on it, Broadband / phone line should be as reliable as water and electricity .... but it never will be as long as BT have the monopoly. Can't wait for contract to end so we can move somewhere else (even then their antique copper wire will no doubt still trap us).

Worthless. 1hr wait first time, 1.5hrs seconds time. Promised £50 credit. Never appeared bloody worthless. Got about 5 channels only, not even main channels.

Really poor customer service. Considering that they are a communications company you would expect a certain level of competence, but they don't seem to be able to communicate with themselves, let alone with their customers. To save you a world of headaches, please steer well clear of this company!

I have been with BT fibre for about 3 years now and to be fair, I don't get many issues.

But damn, when you do have an issue are they shockingly terrible at fixing it! I'll explain the problem I have;

2 weeks ago I woke up to not having an internet or phone connection. After a few phone calls (on my mobile) to BT they sent me an engineer the next day.
The next day arrives and the enginner turns up on time, all well so far. 3 hours later he figures out that my fibre cable had been disconnected from my port in the underground rack, broken in the process and put back into a different port. Basically a contractor stole my connection for someone else.
He then fixed my cable and plugged it in to a new port telling me that BT would need to disconnect my connection on one server and reconnect me on another as I'm now using a different port, which "should take 24 hours".

2 weeks and many...many phone calls later, they should have me disconnected from my old connection by friday the 10th.

So now I am looking at 3 weeks of no phone and internet for them to disconnect a connection and connect a new one. That is actually abysmal customer support and service on their part, for a problem that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Stay away!
Horrible experience with BT you get missinformed from day one and then they change your contract and ask you to pay more without telling you.
Also they refuse to let you open a complaint and most of the people you speak to over the phone are racist and rude!

Took a new contract out with BT on 28 May for 2 years. On 12 June they cut my broadband off by mistake. Rang on 12 June and told it would be reinstated 14 June and they would send a mini hub to be going on with. As you may of guessed nothing happened on the 14 June nor at any other time until today when I was informed the order had been received by Open Reach was going through and I should be up and running on 29 June - don’t hold your breath. So the previous five phone calls I made to the connections team were a waste of time as I was told a pack of lies by each of the customer services people in Stoke. Absolute waste of time and effort trying to get any sense out of them. Couldn’t care less about their customers. Rating below zero.

I've been with BT for 2 years and everything was Ok until I moved homes. Since then it's a constant and very frustrating 2-month struggle to get connected.
During these 2 months I've been connected through a mini-hub as a temporary solution and trying to get connected properly as the mini-hub connection is really poor.
During these 2 months I've been in contact with BT a countless amount of times, spoken to many of their staff members, spent every time an hour on hold while they were forwarding me to different departments and trying to figure out what's going on with my account.
The inconsistency of their work is really shocking. Each one of them says different things and names different problems but the job is still not done. During these 2 months I got a number of contradictory messages from a number of BT staff members: your broadband will be activated tomorrow just connect your router at midnight, your broadband is in place but the landline is not, we need to send our engineer, our engineers don't go to the households due to the lockdown, your engineer will arrive on Wednesday, our engineers don't go to the households, your engineer will arrive on Friday, your appointment is cancelled, your appointment is rescheduled, our engineers don't go to the household, your appointment is cancelled again, your engineer has arrived and sorted everything out, connect your router, the engineer hasn't been there nothing is sorted we will schedule another appointment, your appointment is cancelled, get in touch to schedule another one, your package is fine, you are not at any package, no, your package is fine...
Halfway through they forgot to add some allowance to my mini-hub and I had to spend one day with no Internet whatsoever. And it was my working day so my work was paralyzed for the whole day.
After 2 months an engineer from Openreach arrived sorted out the broadband and the landline and the Internet was working for the whole day.
Next day the connection disappeared and another BT team member said that somehow my broadband hasn't been added to the package so I need to wait another 5 (!) days before it gets activated. I have no idea how after 2 months since my move the broadband hasn't been added to my package.
So far my experience with BT was incredibly frustrating and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
