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.

Support is poor.

BT. Oh dear. All I wanted to do was upgrade from standard broadband to super fibre. Simple they said... Flip a switch in the cabinet and the engineer would fix up my smart hub for me. The hub didn't arrive when they said it would. The engineer didn't turn up at all despite me being reminded by constant emails and texts from BT that he would be coming between 9am and 1 pm. After profuse apologies they sent out another engineer today who fixed my hub but couldn't flip the switch in the cabinet. So after two days off work for nothing I still don't have my superfast connection. More profuse apologies and a promise to flip the switch tomorrow don't go any way to make up for two wasted precious days off work. BT... Go get yourselves an internal communication skills training package!

Excellent service and highly reliable fast broadband

My house is to far from the exchange to be connected to fibre so I can only get a very slow ADSL+ connection to broadband. BT have no plans to provide a superfast connection for me and my neighbours. I find this unacceptable. BT should provide all premises with superfast access

If something goes wrong with broadband and or mobile (hardly ever) one phone call and it is fixed

BT come in for a great deal of criticism, but speak as you find, I cannot fail, the broadband service they provide. What I am crtitical of is the constant price increases and the way they protect themselves and not the customer. In the past you could leave a contract if BT raised charges during the life of that contract; recently they claim that they will not increase their Broadband charges within any contract period. I therefore presume that they can and will increase charges for other services and as we will be tied into a 'protected' Broadband service for BT, but we will not be able to switch providers until such time that both the Broadband and Phone contracts end together!
