    DON'T make the mistake of choosing BT fibre optic 2 (not like the advert!) - mine runs like a snail and I am told you can only get super fast if ethernet connected and no other devices??? That's certainly not what they advertise!!They don't want to know you once they've ''hooked'' you into the 18 month contract (at £28 per month)!!! Seriously look around but avoid this mess I've got!

    Completely useless avoid like plague. We arrange to swap to infinity it doesn't work And I work at home so will be billing them for loss of earnings and a refund on time without it. You have to wait a day to book a call to test it BEFORE an engineer gets involved. t.......ers

    Awful company, terrible communications, don't respond to email complaints, didn't send out equipment, never checked installation, have charged me for a free service, despite me telling them several times I don't even want that service, charged twice for equipment, just a mess. Never get to talk to the same person, broken promises of resolution. Their hub stopped connecting to my PC after 20 mins, not any better signal than Virgin. Seriously, if you like good customer service, best just to avoid.

    All I wanted to do was move house and take my telephone and broadband with me - Sounds simple, well it was until I had to change my moving in date.
    Phoned BT up and spoke to India, said I needed to change my moving date but Bless them, turned out they only changed the installation date and not the cut off date at my old property. Found out when first my broadband went and then the telephone. Had to then use my mobile to call them up but for some reason I couldnt have my broadband back, so for almost a month on dongles.
    Three months later I think I've got my £130 charge for moving refunded but will have to watch this space.

    My experience over a number of years has been in short a very very very bad one with BT. Lies, poor service and that's putting it nicely, slow speeds, faults that take months to fix while being fed lie after lie by people who are not qualified to be in a position to provide tech advice or support. BT senior management are a joke and in my opinion a waste of our money. This isn't a problem that affects few it is massive and has been going on for years. BT don't bother with them they are your worst nightmare, don't lets get going on BT India support, why not just take my money BT and kick me in the balls cos that's what your doing to 10000s.

    I ordered a BT infinity student deal for 9 months, at the time seemed perfect, short contract and quick speeds. However we had to wait 2 weeks for an engineer, this is normal, I would like to say that it is now 7 weeks after I orginally ordered their service yet I am STILL waiting for them to sort out our internet, and better still they have charged me £58 so far without providing anything! They have sent out 4 engineers who haven't been able to sort a supposedly simple process. Ive had 8 engineers booked, but 4 never showed up. I've spent countless hours on the phone to their terrible customer service who make false promises (I have actually heard unprompted promoises from them), half of them don't even know what their talking about!

    I'm now 7/11 weeks through my first semester at university where internet is very important, not only have BT had a detrimental effect on my study, they've caused my housemate and myself to run over our mobile phone data bills, I understand this isn't their direct fault, but there are somethings like checking university timetables and sending emails that are necessary, but where we are used to having our phones connected to WiFi, we're now running over our bills costing us more money.

    I thoroughly recommend you to not go for BT, yes every company has cases where things go wrong, but when things go wrong with BT, you're better off instantly switching provider. I am beyond angry with them.

    TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

    Phoned up BT to as I had a problem with my chromecast connecting to the hub, i knew what needed to be done to fix it, change the wireless band from 5ghz to 2.4ghz, was talking to the lady on the phone and she didnt seem to understand how the hub worked, i seemed to know more about it and she is a "technician", as I was asking her questions she couldnt answer she was beginning to not make sense, just saying anything that came into her technical head, she could not get off the phone quick enough and was very rude and not one bit helpful

    TERRIBLE!!!

    I have been a BT customer for 30 years. Recent problems started when they moved my email from Yahoo to BT. Weeks of problems accessing email and now lost access completely when trying to link email to my BT Id. Spent an hour on the phone with an engineer taking over my computer. Problem their end but he could not fix it. Complained by letter and tried the fix they suggested but still no joy. Now lost access to my BT account. Can log in using my BT id but it says because of technical problems they cannot show me my account details. Complained but no word yet when it will be fixed a week later. Of course the prices all go up in December. Now looking to leave BT. Have already moved to another email service provider. They seem to be spending all their money on TV sport rather than telecoms.

    I have had numerous problems with BT over the last 20 years or so. Both phone and internet.
    I now have a situation where my phone is dead and my usual 2.4mbs download speed has reverted back to .75 mbs (yes point seven five!).

    BT have said there is a fault on the line and they say they plan to fix it within 3 days. They think this is acceptable. It isn't.
    They have also said they have tried to call me yet they know the landline is dead and my mobile hasn't rung or reported any missed calls. They lie basically.

    When the system is working it works pretty well but when it breaks they automatically assume you broke it. Even when they grudgingly admit the fault is at their end they won't tell you what the problem is or how it got broken in the first place.
    Then they arrogantly tell me I'm booked in for a call on Friday (3 days from reporting the fault). Well if I tell them I'm going to book them in for a visit to their head office I doubt they would be dropping everything and cancelling their corporate days out in order to greet me. I won't be waiting for their call either. Especially as the phone isn't working!

    This is the most infuriating company I've ever had to deal with. It's automated systems are labyrinthine, it's customer care people lie to you, and it cares for nothing except it's profit margins.

    Appalling.
