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.

As all I’m very happy with my service provider

A year ago I had to have a BT engineer come and find out why my broadband was so slow. He discovered a problem with the ubiquitous 'box-on-the-corner' and since then my broadband has performed faultlessly. Many thanks to the engineer and to BT for a good service.

As always a great service from BT

My download speed is OK but would expect it to be better for the money. My connection seems OK though we live in a bungalow, not too big and I loose connection within a couple of rooms for no apparent reason. That is annoying to say the least. I have not been into contact with BT at this time about this but may have too.

What's to say? Not the cheapest, but I've had minimal disruption over the years.
