    Been with BT for 5 years was originally really very good - new home hub with top speed BT infinity package arrived 1 year ago & problems began - rarely reached anywhere near speeds advertised as was totally unreliable, dropping out daily in a major city which is astonishing. Never seem to accept they may have a hardware issue with there router - even though I'm stood next to it and cannot get online.

    So were quietly leaving & happy to pay £30 cancellation fee to try out Virgin Media.

    DO NOT TAKE OUT A CONTRACT WITH BT. You have been warned.
    Unreliable and unstable broadband and TV signal that required hours and hours and hours and hours of calls to them. It was never properly resolved.
    Ripped off when we had finally had enough and cancelled while in contract.

    Recently moved home and since I was an existing BT customer I decided to opt for the seemingly straightforward choice of sticking with the same company.
    I called BT and told them to transfer my services to my new address (for which an engineer visit would be required) and was informed that the earliest available date would be 23rd December - a full month after moving. I said sorry but that was unacceptable and I would be seeking an alternative provider. An early date of 8th December then miraculously became available. An engineer visited and stated work needed to be done outside of the property for which another visit would be required. Thus far no one has arrived on two occasions and a third visit has been arranged for yes, you guessed it, 22nd December with services commencing on the 23rd. I have no faith that will happen.
    In the meantime I have spoken to numerous BT staff who plainly have no idea what is happening as very little information seems to be recorded. I have received emails stating the customer care team would call on a certain day but no calls. It has been explained to me that I didn't receive calls because they had the wrong number, yet sent me a TEXT to tell me they couldn't contact me because of this!

    So, having stated that waiting till the 23rd of December was not acceptable, I now find myself hoping that my services will be connected on that date. In my opinion I was lied to in order to retain my account. There is little or no communication between departments, trying to speak to a supervisor is a hopeless cause as it seems it's not their policy for senior staff to dirty their hands talking to customers and BT employees seem to make things up as they go along.
    Unnecessary mobile calls over the past four weeks have left me out of pocket and I'm still paying for Netflix which I haven't been able to use along with xbox live.

    BT are a truly woeful company who don't deserve the loyalty that many show them. I am currently seeking an alternative provider.
    Do yourself a favour and do the same.

    BT fitted a new line for free which seemed excellent. Speeds were 28MB with a low ping.

    Fast forward 3 months, my sync is suddenly locked to exactly 20000Kb, ping is terrible (35 when previously 8 to UK servers).

    I try over and over to speak to BT, being told someone will contact me and that they are chasing the fault. After weeks of chasing them they finally get back to me and say there's no fault and everything is fine.

    Apparently is sudden 8Mb drop on my connection (30% of my total speed!) is normal and is possibly down to, and I quote "more people connecting now".

    My old connection had a slightly better ping and would sync at 25Mb. I've moved to BT and EVERYTHING IS WORSE.

    I couldn't recommend against them enough.

    Good but now flawed. I like BT and have had MUCH better speeds than when I was with Sky. However, recently when I've needed help I have been treated VERY badly by customer services. I don't like being spoken to as though I was an idiot. When my contract runs out I will be looking to change providers.
