    Switched from Pipex to BT I was told it would be faster but no real difference. The switching process was awful BT in breech of contract twice legals pending. Customer service absolute chaos Mind you so was pipex, talk talk. No money has been invested in Axminster exchange for years total rip off for what you get.

    A complete and utter waste of money. Poor speed of 58.Mbps. Terrible customer care/service and you get put through to India to people who can't understand a word you say. I am paying for a service that has crashed twice in a year,the first being a local exchange problem that took 10 days to fix, with lots of fobbing off by customer service in between.

    I am on option 3 and took out Bt as I was promised 4mg.I have always got 2 or 2.5,until it hit the decks a few weeks ago at 0.06!!!!!
    After a new hubb and filters Bt engineer came out today and saw that my Bt extention was installed with thin internal wire and had perished on the outside of the house.He said i would never have got good broadband with that wiring.They have now put the correct wiring in and a new linebox which doesn,t require filters.
    Straight away speed is up to 2.2 and am told it should settle to about 3.2 mgs over the next 10 days.
    customer services told me there was nothing wrong with my connection a month ago.Two weeks ago someone else at customer services confirmed that my line had a problem.
    seems i have had the wrong wiring for 6 years which was ok until I tried to run broadband off it.

    We have BT Broadband Option 3, with a Home Hub v2.0 (wireless n). Performance is pretty good (7MB download) but the connection has a nasty habit of going down 2 or 3 times a week.
    The hub is great - we have 3 PCs wired into it, and run my daughter's laptop, 2 XBoxes and 1 PS3 all wirelessly onto it. Performance wise it is very good.
    Customer service wise though BT are a laugh - rather like a bloke trying to get into a woman's pants they will say anything to you, and afterwards they will dump you and ignore you.

    absolutely shocking!
    we dont get half the channels and the ones we do are always juddery and cut out, the on demand tv works about 20% of the time, got solf movie channels but all of them are pay-per-view. the phone line is crackley and the internet needs to be restarted every half hour or so. Also even though we have 'unlimited' internet we got charged £100 for excessive usage (thanks to the flatmates bf!)
    we have never been on hold for less than 30 mins when trying to get help and their explanation was that we lived in a poor reception area... why did you recommend this package, charge and install it for us then!?!
    this is our first flat and internet ect was the one luxury item we had on our budget. thoroughly disappointed in BT and would never EVER recommend.

    After another problem, this week at 330k on my line and being reported by the "technical specialists" at BT as working fine at 7MB (which I've never had!! 2MB at best when it works) I've had enough. CONTRACT TERMINATED!

    Pathetic in all aspects, donload speed 0.4mb to virtually zero at peak times. Died altogether for a week. Customer service is exotic but not very useful.
    The one area they score big time is billing - they sure know how to do that! Try anywhere but hereI wouldn't even give them one star for some areas but zero not an option.

    The only reason I am posting a comment is that I have just phoned BT, which took numerous numbers to phone, to upgrade from Option 1 to option 2. Having agreed the upgrade I asked the question about whether this was a new contract, to which the answer was yes. I cancelled it there & then as I only have 4 months left on my current contract & feel it's a complete con., to start another 12 month contract, especially when I found out only by asking the question.I am an existing BT customer & would stay, but my current view is that I will now move.

    Been with BT for years, very reliable service. Paying for up to 8 MG - never had better than 3.5 - they are now advertising "up to 20" - I feel that I am paying for this but not close to getting any improved service/speed - paying for unlimited download, had 3 teenagers home from uni at christmas - got "fair useage" warnings threatening to slow my download speed - how much slower can it get ? - bills are useless - no idea what I'm paying for - just know that it is costing over £50/month for broadband/ phone line and calls - all on the cheapest rate ! - Overall view - they are ripping me off and hiding it in confusing bills etc
