    promised a speed of 2.5-3 mbps, never had such a speed in 10 months of being with them. The best we have had was 1.5 for 2 days, average is 500 kbps, but normally speed is between 400-30 kbps ( yes 30 kbps slower than dial up modem )speed up to the router as 8 open reach engineers will testify is 2.5 mbps, so line etc is OK, but b.t. keeps the speed low at their end.

    BT has to one of the worst run companys i have ever been with. The customer service is terrible and the speeds which they say you will get are a complete lie.

    Its ok if nothing goes wrong, but any "Techie" calls go to India and the English is barely understandable - no use when trying to explain things. I was trying to get to the bottom of why I was getting a low signal but I couldn't understand what the Indians were saying and they couldn't understand me !! Left in the lurch.

    After 7 years of support to BT, I still pay £26.99 per month for about 1.88Mbps download. I have asked BT for a fixed IP address as compensation for such poor download speeds in order that I can host an exchange server, but they have declined stating I should re-sign up to a business account, but the speed may well stay the same as it is now.

    SKY was very slow and timed out regularly and particularly in on-line auctions. This resulted in not being able to bid and losing items by the time of re-setting back. SKY also sometimes completely disappeared just leaving LAN connections and no (Big Computer Icon)Internet Connection. I joked when leaving SKY I could 'RUN FASTER' :-) The upgrade they gave me for an extra five pounds a month was no better. I did give them a chance but nothing changed. To-day I received and setup the BT hub package I ordered.It was effortless,in fact all I did was connect the wiring(ADSL Filter,Phone Wire and LAN wire). It is so fast 100% faster than SKY nearly 6mb to SKY's 3-4mb. I'm glad I switched to BT, a better service for less.

    very poor speeds, Dial up was faster, average speed is around 180KBps - 240 Kbps (or 0.18 -0.24Mbps). Ringing customer services gets the same responses, although we told you it would be a 4Mbps line that is a maximum and I can see you were suposed to be quicker I change that for you now. Every 6 months you ring the speed increases to 2 - 3Mbps and then slows down with in a few weeks.

    They, BT , are a joke. I pay for up to 2MB per second. I get 320kbs. The service is not good, they take the micky. You are unable to speak anyone who is interested. If you complain enough the speed may improve, for a short time!
