Additional Comments

The company offers a full range of broadband services, from standard fibre (FTTC) to full-fibre (FTTP) packages that deliver ultrafast speeds. BT’s newer Full Fibre plans provide a direct fibre connection to your home, giving download speeds up to 900 Mbps and upload speeds up to 110 Mbps. These are ideal for larger households, home offices, or anyone who regularly streams, games, or downloads large files. Even the standard fibre plans offer decent performance, with average speeds ranging from 36 Mbps to 74 Mbps.

One of BT’s key strengths is reliability. Its network is well-established and regularly maintained, with nationwide customer support available 24/7. The Smart Hub 2 router that comes with BT’s packages is designed to deliver strong Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home, and you can add Wi-Fi discs to eliminate dead spots if needed. BT also includes access to a huge network of public Wi-Fi hotspots across the UK, which can be useful when you’re on the move.

Customer service has improved in recent years, with BT now offering UK and Ireland-based call centres and online chat support. The MyBT app also makes it easy to check your connection status, run speed tests, or manage your account.

Overall, BT is a safe and dependable choice for broadband. It offers wide availability, strong performance, and a good balance of speed and service. While it might not be the cheapest option, BT’s experience, reliability, and extras make it a solid pick for households that want a well-supported, nationwide provider they can count on.

The service is good on the whole. However, I've marked BT down this time around because they messed up our house move. We ordered in good time, and arranged to close down the service at our existing address on moving day and activate it at the new address on the same day. However, it emerged 6 days later that the order had not gone through on the day we ordered. We only found this out because we phoned them to check everything was on course, after receiving a cryptic message about them still working to progress our order. If we hadn't contacted them, I suspect no-one at BT would have noticed the problem They gave us an EE mini-hub to tide us over until the full service was online, but we had to rely on our mobile phones, which was a challenge for elderly relatives.

For the last few months, my internet goes down at about 3am for about 30 minutes. I then have to go through a convoluted activity to rest my Sky Q boxes.

BT? Who are they? I’m a “getting on in years” customer. They’re not interested in me. I keep paying my DD bills, money is safe, don’t bother. Chris B.
