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.

BT internet failed the other night. So I rang technical help to find out when it was likely to be restored. Surprise, surprise because it was after 8 o'clock at night there was no one there to help! Luckily it was restored some 20 minutes or so later. The next day I received at least 2 messages from BT saying if I needed help an appointment would have to be booked for an engineer to come out.

I've used BT's Complete WiFi discs for a couple of years. they certainly don't achieve the level of coverage advertised and go down frequently. The fix is easy, either to power cycle them or reboot the router but this is often inconvenient and definitely what I expected of a leading product. I've now bought an alternative WiFi solution that is rock solid but I'm surprised that Complete WiFi is still being offered.

Speed is always an issue can’t do 30mbps in thi day and age

Excellent speed with a fault free service. Accurate billing, but may not be the cheapest on the market, but does what it says on the tin.

Cannot fail BT on its service and reliability! Don't quite understand why some folk give it such low ratings! The 'fiber' broadband is excellent, even if a little expensive. After all, you get what you pay for.

Still on copper and only 500m from fibre on a pole yet BT OpenReach want £32,000 to connect. A mile down a single track country lane, and they rate the property as URBAN. Speechless, or at least when it comes to putting comments in here.

I have the-contracted with BT for their full fibre 100 service. This is for the guaranteed service, but I actually get 140Mb/s down and 31Mb/s up. Another two years. Price reduction. Service has been very reliable and performant. Took out just before Covid hit and have been able to work from home and do all the streaming services. Thanks BT
