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.

I've found BT to be a highly reliable provider. Speeds are as expected, technical issues non-existent and customer service (which I have only used to renegotiate deals) as been fine. The only possible criticism would be price, but if you pick the right deal, it’s not an issue.

Regular periods of lower than minimum expected speed are a continual niggle.

I had an intermittent fault with my ADSL broadband, with occasional long ping times and derisory throughput for extended periods. BT Support took the issue seriously, and sent a succession of engineers (BT, Qube and OpenReach) to investigate. They were courteous, friendly and professional, but unable to track down the fault. BT Support stuck with it, and arranged for compensation. Eventually, I noticed that the intermittent fault correlated with a background process running on my desktop (Google Drive syncing files). BT were glad to hear that the problem had been resolved, and closed the fault. This was excellent customer support, however frustrating it was at the time! Thanks, BT.

Very frustrating, as when it works its excellent. Two or three weeks with service at speeds as promised and then two or three weeks at normal FTTC speeds!

Download 5mbs, awful, and no relief in sight

No landline phone for a week. Oddly enough, BT broadband still running (just) with speed down from 36/37mB to 15mB

Just started with TalkTalk at the moment first 4 days speed as advertised and no buffering at the moment, so yes happy at the moment, but early days.

BT's service over the last month has met contract standards for reliability and speed.
