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!

I was promised three Mb, but have never had it for more than a few minutes. For months they were replacing lines in the area, during which we seldom had more than 0.5 Mb, and many times my IP profile gets 'stuck' at 130K, and can stay down often for a week at a time, until my frantic telephoning persuades somebody to move their finger to press a button and reset it. I cannot tell you how many hours I have been on the phone.

Since competition came into our area, BT has always demanded a high price for their ASDL. Now they are around 50% cheaper without explanation, other than I can never achieve a good connection. I discovered I have been double interleaved at the node, and as very very few suppliers will ever divulge the contention ratios, I suspect I'm sharing a measly 8mbps with 500 people.

I have just moved over from Zen internet which was 100% reliable, but limited to 2 meg speed to BT business. I now get 120k download and trying to get any sense out of BT is utterly impossible, they have always had a reputation, but naïvely I though that they had improved. Each time I get through to them, they promise action, but each any every time they let me down. So now I'm stuck, with a "virtual dial up connection speed" and nowhere to turn. So dont be fooled, they were bad, they have a bad reputation and more importantly, they are still as bad as they have ever been. I would steer clear like the plague.

Bt should spend some of their millions doing up all their network to fibre optic, as we find out in local areas like easterhouse barlanark springburn carntyne they dont get the promised 8meg broadband we get 2 if we are very lucky last night mine dropped again to under 1 meg which is appaling as i pay the same price that other people do who get 8mb and above.

Speed check is shocking, considering I was getting a faster connection in the North of Scotland with BT. The wireless is awful Hub V1. I live in a small 3 bedroom house and my playstation 3 cannot connect when downstairs as hub is upstairs

BT have always tried hard to help me, but am faced with speed problems which do not seem to get cured.I am aware being in the country speed can be a big issue, but problem speed has been the main issue for some time.

Although I am grateful that we have broadband,the speed jumps around like crazy.Some times of the day and weekend,you could pull it with a piece of string between your teeth faster.It makes gaming almost impossible.Almost as bad as dial-up.

I'm paying for up to 8mb per per second, I should be getting about 4.8mbps as that what the line currently supports and a BT engineer has confirmed this.For the last couple of weeks I've been watching my service disintegrate before my eyes and despite countless call to BT's support line, nothing's changed. I've swapped out my router, my cables and my filters, no change. my latest test results, download speed of 0.27 mbps and upload speed of 0.29 mbs are about average for the last couple of weeks, although my download speed has been down as far as 0.06mbps! The only reason I've rated the service as very poor is that I can't rate them any worse.

Problem has been ongoing for about 7 weeks. Underground work needs to be carried out. I was told it had been carried out but it is supposedly being carried out today. They told me lies and broadband speeds are pathetic - 332kbbs download 328 kbps upload.Would not recommend BT.

Service liable to cut off,even told network is busy yet I pay and only get low speeds,so presumably my low speed connection is cut off while others paying the same but with more than 10 times my connection speed are getting service.

At the moment I am paying £37 a month to receive between 150-380 kbps. Every time I complain it raises to about 1.4 mbps which is still not very good. Methinks it is time to stop the direct debit.

The response from BT is good, but you are talking to somebody in India, although they are always polite and helpful, it is sometimes hard to understand them, I was told I could achieve up to 5megs if I went with BT, for months I never got more than 485 kbps downloading, I tried every way to try and improve the speed myself, but to no avail, I bought and fitted an Iplate, but got no improvement, I have spent endless phone calls to the BT help desk, they have eventually got my speed up to just over 2 megs downloading and around 450 kbps uploading,

MAKE no mistake BT cost a bomb and charge TOO much, but in return you get an A1 service(24/7) and i've had 3 outages in 3 years lasting a total of 30 mins.

I am supposed to get at least 3mbps out of a package supposedly for 8mbps. As I live less than two miles from the relevant exchane (in a straight line the download speed of 0.94 mbps and upload speed of .331mbps are absolutely appalling. I have complained, had the line checked, etc, etc, and all they can tell me is that the speed is unlkely to improve! I cannot get a cable supplier, as the street I live in is paved, not tarmac, and, despite there being a utility strip down the side of the road, the cable companies will not lay it.

When I chose BT I was told that I would get up to 8Mbs download speeds. When I run your speed test the reported speed of my line is recorded as being able to support 3.42 Mbs but the actual achieved speeds are reported as between 38 and 64 per cent less than I should be achieving.

I have been with BT 18 Mths now and their service has been terrible. My broadband conection is so slow its only just above dial up speeds. ie not in Mb but messured in Ks and not even many of them . All i can say is the connection is stable but at this speed its sometimes quicker to post a letter. In the 18 mths my service has gone down 3 times each time taking days to get put right

Broadband connection speed varies from 3000kbps down to 250 kbps depending on time of day. It is usually slow. Lines have been tested by engineer during visit to location and are OK. Modem router has been changed but results are the same on 2 independent computers.

Considering I'm supposed to get around 3.91 and am only getting 2.5max on a good day.The sooner BT puts down cable then maybe the speed would be somewhat faster

Speed varies by 100% and is low in the late evenings i.e. midnight. The service is expensive and does not offer any significant advantage. Reporting faults can be a long drawn out process often with language difficulties. Especially annoying if you report the same fault several times and know the solution i.e. a reset of the board in the exchange which appears to have a software fault on it causing a lockup. If you want to stay with them and reduce your costs ask for a MAC code. When I did they discounted by 60% provided I signed up for 12 months. I still went ahead and signed up with Sky. Lets see how that goes!!

better than other supplier that i have at this address at least my broadband works 24/7 rather than not working for week in 3 mounths & the supplier taking a week or longer to get me up & running again yes my speed is not fast but that is due to the distance of my house to the exchange so it does not matter who my supplier is my speed will not change & with some suppliers it was actualy less (not sure how that happens) but at least with BT it has been reliable.
