\BT is decent but could be better. The internet speed doesn’t always match what was promised, and it slows down at peak times. Customer service is hit or miss; sometimes helpful, sometimes slow. Streaming usually works well, but gaming and video calls can lag.

Just a terrible experience. I took the order out two months ago and it keeps being cancelled by open reach. the connection is poor. the hubs are just annoying with the flashing lights. never works. staff dont seem to know what is going on. no customer service at night or weekends/bank hols. for all the money they charge they give very little in return..... Openreach seem to be the boss. if they do not want to do something. they wont. BT is just a front for Openreach.

It is mostly okay. Customer service is great. The price is higher than I would like to pay. Speed is sometimes slower than it should be.

When it works it’s great, but the customer service is terrible, they rip people off with out of contract prices unless you call up and pretend to cancel.

Overall I am happy, although at times I do question if we are receiving the right speed as sometimes our tv lags. However for day-to-day use, including both of us working from home, we have no issues. Their customer account/portal isn't the best designed and at times I have had trouble finding what I need or pages not linking correctly or to where I thought they would go.

My connection is extremely reliable, with only a few breaks in service over the years I have been with them (quickly fixed every time) and always meeting the advertised speed. The wi-fi hub also has an excellent range.

I had the most terrible experience with BT customer support just now. A guy called Hassan just bluntly said it was "my problem" that I didn't do the paperwork on time and just threatent with debt collectors to collect the whole £261 of outstanding ballance. Then he just said that "he can't solve everyone's problems" altho he is working in a customer support which is kind of hilarious. And at the end when I told him that I had a terrible dispute with the landlord costing me tonns of money blod sweat and tears he just said that "It's my problem now" and that "He doesn't know where I've read the policy saying what I ask for can be done". I guess there is no policy about compassion and at least basic emotional intelligence within BT. I am pretty sure I would just pay that freaking bill if they wold not be so harsh and rude with me. But now I am on call for an hour or so trying to reach to his supervisor and can't do that. So while I am waiting I will just leave terrible review everywhere across the internet because that's exactly what you get when you don't want to talk to your clients. Terrible support. Don't use BT guys

They're fine mostly, regularly wake to find the router has had an issue and nothing is working until it's rebooted several times.

BT are an all round excellent service provider. A fantastic 'basic' price for low income families. Quality service that can cope with several devices at one time. Customer service are 2nd to none: friendly & informative. The REAL HARD WORKERS the ENGINEERS who go out in all weathers & VERY QUICKLY get you back online in RARE outages. Easy to navigate website will all the information & guidance you would need. They've 'had my back' for a long long time & I COMPLETELY TRUST them 5 stars!

BT are fairly reliable, although I think you pay more than competitors for the same service. The main reason I have stayed with them is I tried to change once but there was so much confusion and hassle involved (even though I used a switching service) that I decided I preferred to be with a less-good provider but still have internet than keep on pursuing the switch.

Usually reliable 24/7. Annually, try to increase price, but open to negotiation and therefore remain competitive. Equipment is good and service approachable on rare occasions I have needed it.

BT Broadband offers reliable, decent-speed internet with occasional minor outages and customer service hiccups, but overall a solid, dependable choice.

It was easy to choose my new tariff, so easy I did it poolside on holiday. No issues with connecting or speed. When we had an issue due to previous homeowners' installation, BT same straight out free of charge to resolve the issue.

Broadband with BT in our village is slow anyway, but at least I get the promised speeds with very few outages. The signal and speed is good enough for most of the computer work I need to do, and for the use of our mobile phones. In addition, the use of an upstairs booster means that we have a good signal all over the house. Because I don't need too much from BT, I can't comment too much on the customer service , though, on the few occasions I have needed to contact them I have found it difficult to identify the right person or department, or to find staff who are genuinely empowered.

Quite a significant expense but covers what we need most of the time. A few more drops and resets than I’d like but that’s tech I guess.
