“BT The worst company ever avoid this company unbreakable broadband and the missed out unbreakable contract for almost a year I had slow speeds or no broadband at all when I phoned was told I need to up grade to the smart hub WiFi hub this made it worse they sent out open reach who said they sorted it but hey ho same again so phoned too needed to upgrade to super hub 2 again more trouble and now paying £50 a month for broadband and phon line nothing else again a man from open reach came said he knew what it was and had fixed it but again no was told to upgrade to super WiFi the fibre optic super fast broadband £70 a month now and again faults but all of a sudden it worked after a year over the year bt paid me back with their price promise money back if it does not work I think in all £90 back a I eventually found out through an article in a news paper that bt knew about the problems with their super hubs and disc but had sorted thefualts it took over a year in the mean time I'm locked into a new contract for 2 years at a cost of £70 a month from starting at £19 when first installed. I wrote to the communications onbusman but those consumer watch dogs are a joke and work in favour of the big company's its all a con or in another word mafia style nice but ruthless anyway rant my advice iive used virgin and sky both great company's had faults but always sorted with satisfaction roll on the day my contract ends and I can switch 2 years is far to long but another change braught in by so called watchdogs”
“I have been with BT business now for about one year. That is definitely one year too many.
I have had problems with their service since before I even signed up, many hours on the phone and online chat trying to get things sorted, even having to resort to the ombudsman.
My contract is up next August and I will not stay with BT for a single day more than neccessary.”
“BT sent me a reminder today July 22nd that my contract is coming to an end on 10th September, so I called them (22nd July) as I found a better option. The guy on retention said that the account would be terminated on 10th September however because an engineer can’t come out over the weekend I could either pay for 3 days extra service or pay an additional £1.10 to have the contract terminated on the DATE of the termination date as an early terminate charge – SCAM.
He then said, that is was good that I called and didn’t leave it until the termination date as they need 30 DAYS NOTICE of termination, otherwise it rolls over….Another way to scam customers! And yet another experience of a customer being inconvenienced for the sake of a supplier!
BT you should be ashamed of yourselves!”
“BT is so bad that they should lose their license. Appalling service. I gave them one star because zero stars is not an option here. You can’t submit the review until you give them at least one star.”
“Persuaded to change from EE. Told it would save £10 per month. Issued with exit letters from EE. Promised this was sorted out after many very long phone calls only to find money taken from account. New super wonderful router? Forget it. Can’t get WiFi in garden now. BT want £16 extra a month for discs to improve strength of signal. Do not change to BT”
“Absolutely rubbish service.It's getting from bad to worse. I have to go back to ''Virgin'' Since one week I have no landline and internet and every time when I have a life chat with the advisers,they put me on ''the slide'' with empty promises.Because I relay on my business from home I am completely trapped now. Shame of you BT. Stay away from this robbers.”
“BT reuse to let me leave without paying the rest of my contract fees despite not giving me the service I signed up for. To leave I must pay £197. I have a ADSL Internet connection which, despite ridiculously slow upload and download speeds which I tolerate, continually loses connection and displays the dreaded ‘yellow light’ on my router signalling a loss of service, REPEATEDLY, 10-20 times a day!! BT offered many ‘workaround’ fixes, free phone data, new routers (x3), engineer visits etc. After my need for a better connection became essential due to large file upload/download for work, up to 6GB+, I decided to leave BT and join Virgin Media which was cheaper and has impressively fast fibre broadband in my area. BT then claim, what for it, that my loss of Internet connection isn’t technically a ‘drop’ in service and happens simply because the accompanying landline has a fault on it!! I explained, it doesn’t matter what or where the source or location of the problem is, all that matters is I’m not receiving the service I should be. To which they respond with their final word on the matter (after long debates and endless transferring from department to department) that my Internet has only ever ‘dropped’ connection twice during the last year and has always been ‘provided’ otherwise and it’s the problem with my landline that causes the problem with the Internet connection at my end, and therefor, because they’ve continued to provide broadband at the speed contractually agreed upon from their end, I am not free to leave without paying the rest of my contract!! Can you believe it!! I said it doesn’t matter what you provide at your end, what matters is what I receive at my end, AND I RECEIVE REPEATED DROPS IN SERVICE!!! I DO NOT CARE WHAT PART OF YOUR SERVICE/NETWORK IS BROKEN, I DO NOT RECEIVE THE SERVICE I PAY FOR AND I WANT TO LEAVE WITHOUT BEING CHARGED £197 TO DO SO!!
BT refuse to budge so I must pay £197 to leave a broadband contract that is regularly interrupted by a fault on the accompanying landline. What can I say except, BT, shame on you, after my years of loyalty, you treat me like this, SHAME ON YOU!!”
“Only 4 months after joining BT leaving them.
Insulting and badly managed with a Ceo own interest is to accumulate capital.
20 days after joining speed went down, they sent me a 'techy' Who has absolutely no knowledge, declaring my wifi bounces on my walls reason why not working!
Then came more insults, blackmailing me to stop throttling on my fibre plus.
Terrible one wonders why they are not oust off business, because that is not business that is very poor concepts of what is a Client!
Shame on the ombudsman letting them run this way.”
“WHAT AN AWFUL AWFUL SERVICE. A BT engineer came to our house a week ago to set up the internet and left without connecting us for some line problem. He gave us no idea on when it would be resolved. Endless calls with BT to organise for another engineer to come today and they didn't show up. I thought it was an essential service what they provide????”
“Shocking customer service. Stay well clear. Since l have joined them over the last few months its complaints all the time. A example asked if l can change my direct debt date as l just started a new job ,yes they said that will be okay. The never listened and the direct debt come out a day before. I had to pay bank charges.”
“This company overcharged by mistake, admits he error, but die not pay the refund. 3 official complaints later and further apologies from BT, still no refund. A company so bad to the bone that they should lose their license to operate.”
“BT is a big cheater I Don't have any services from BT bu they sent.me big bill!!! Hope I can talk to them and explain why they do this.
So please everyone don't go with bt”
“DONT PICK BT FOR ANYTHING
I was conned into joing BT via a black Friday deal I saw online. This was not the case and they started to charge me £45 a month instead of £30. They started charging this bogus amount once you are out of the grace period, meaning if you want to leave by the time you realise they are charging you £45 instead of £30 you will have to pay an extortionate amount in cancellation fees. They are currently charging me £316.93 to leave this con of theirs. My advice would be to stay away from BT, any offers they put are clearly lies and far from the truth. I have been forced to stay in contract with these cons. I would like to share my experience so others would not fall for the same trap”
“New account ordered on 31st March 2021 due to an Openreach box and line already present in my freshly moved in property.
New broadband box reciever recieved on the 8th April 2021 with a notification that my service had been activated... yep, that didn't happen.
It is now 13th April 2021, my service still shows as activate, it is not. Twice now I have been promised an update on how things are progressing... these have not materialised.”
