    I have been looking to change from BT to another provider as BT charges are very high, but after reading other reviews on other providers I will stay with BT. Never lost a connection, speed is very fast and found the customer service Dpt. (in India) very helpful, yes they did take the trouble to phone me back to see if all was O.K.

    The problem with these review sites is that people only post to them if they are having problems, hence the peer ratings here are completely un-representitive. I thought I'd provide some balance. I ordered Infinity 2 as an upgrade to my existing BT ADSL, the modem arrived on the promised day, and the service was provisioned on time. At the time of order I was told that I was likely to get a speed of about 50Mb/s, the connection speed I actually get is 70Mb/s, the connection is completely solid and so far there have been no slow-downs or dropped connections. The BT homehub 5 provided has the latest ac WiFi technology, so all my devices get the full 70Mb/sec over WiFi from most rooms in the house. I am therefore very happy with all aspects of the service.

    I have been waiting for Broadband connection for a while. Today I rang customer services and spoke to Jason.
    He was so helpful and answered all my queries for me. He made the experience much less stressful.

    Bt broadband is great, we have been promised fibre optics for 3 years, and still don’t have it, it goes at 0.3mbps, which sometimes goes upto 1mbps if we are lucky, it has only been down 3 times in the past 2 weeks and has been repaired twice, but still goes down each time after, we pay twice as much as people getting internet that is 200 times the speed. That is why I love BT broadband, thank you for taking the time to read how much I love it.

    I've just changed my broadband fibre package from talktalk to BT Infinity & TV. The change over was on the 17/05/2017, BT kept me informed as to when the Hub ect. would arrive, & that my landline phone would be disconnected for a while until they reconnected it.
    I set the infinity Hub & youview up myself & when I turned them on we were up & running, so I connected my smart TVs & computers & everything is working perfectly. So far I'm well impressed.

    I have been with BT Broadband since FTTC became available in 2015. I have no complaints at all. Performance has been fast and rock solid, although I have been using my own router rather than the BT HUb. Customer service has been very good (by phone and on-line chat). The cost is on the high side but I am reluctant to switch to cheaper and probably worse competitors. One last point, this is an honest review of my experience with BT as a customer. I have no oher relationship with the company.

    Our community group as been with BT for 5 years now, and have recently just upgraded to 38Mb fibre.

    On the old ADSL, we had a wireless speed of 18Mb and now have a wireless speed of 36Mb on fibre.

    The only contact I have had with them, was when we phoned to upgrade. Dealt with sincere courtesy and everything which was promised was promised. The engineer turned up this week between the promised times and within 30 minutes we were upgraded.

    I do not know what they are like when you have problems, as we have not (touch wood) had any with them.

    Over our 5 years experience, I can recommend.

    Renewed my broadband TV and phone package after a 12 month discount package and overjoyed to be offered the same package for a further 18 months. Free phone calls 24/7 - full BT sports package and even sent the latest hub. Well informed about the small price increase-great service A1 all round*****.

    The smoothest setup I've ever had, 4x faster than my old broadband and 1/2 the cost (no exaggeration).

    I've gotten the exact speeds advertised, if not more.

    I have been with BT now for 3 months on the 76 mbps fibre package and are more than happy with their service. I have constantly checked speeds and all are in excess of 72 mbps, no matter what time of day. I had one minor issue with the landline at the start, however this was resolved quickly and easily. I have previously had fibre contracts with Plusnet (quite good although streaming tended to stutter) and Vodafone (avoid!). BT are not the cheapest but I firmly believe that you get what you pay for. Overall I am very satisfied with BT fibre.

    I play video games during my spare time and I have several devices connected at once with no drop in speed, I am able to download large video game files from my ps4 very fast, I am shocked everyone else on these sites give BT stick for little problems that cab be solved easily, the engineer for me came earlier than was meant to, I even got sent a second router as a spare, any queries I have I phone up and get assistance instantly with very polite customer service, I cant be more thankful to BT, People should 100% give BT a go, Infinity 2 package is the dream.

    I can't comment on customer service as in 4 years, I have never, ever had to call them. The broadband has never been slow despite servicing a smart TV, 2 smart phone, 3 computers and a kindle. It's never gone off-line ever. Wish it was a bit cheaper though!

    Just moved from talk talk to BT infinity 2. Bt have been brilliant only problems have been with Talk Talk, firstly in supplying incorrect MAC code then insisting they are still connected even though I am connected to BT, this is a technical impossibility. Thank you BT your engineeer was so helpful.

    For years I have suffered with low connection speeds from AOL. I live in very rural location. After 2 engineer visits and countless inane calls to somewhere in India I was still getting speeds of .56 Mbps at peak times, late afternoon and evening. Eventually I switched to BT unlimited broadband and since that day I have a constant speed of 6.5 Mbps and can now watch iplayer, on demand and youtube with no interruptions at all. The changeover was seamless for Broadband and phone and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Have currently given 5 stars but only came on line today. Was with Orange / EE (from the days of Lineone) and for the last 3 / 4 years had problem after problem with them. Poor customer service, speed issues and more. Had a total of 5 routers sent to me, hung up on on numerous occasions and had an engineer out to the house. Finally after the last issue where the support desk simply did not understand what I was telling them put the phone down and immediately contacted BT to switch. From that moment on it's run like clockwork. The sales person right from the start advised me not to go for the top end as those speeds were not available in my area but infinity 1 between 28mps and 39mps were so I could have that at £10 per month as opposed to the 70mps plus deal at £30, result £20 saving already. Line rental already with BT, no change there. Went through all the details, bit long winded but they have to do it. He told me BT sport would be on my Sky that night, it was on before I came off the phone, change over day was the 8th, which it was and equipment would arrive a couple of days before, spot on again. I received paperwork and emails confirming everything including they were handling the switch from my current supplier, they were soon on the phone once that request hit them! Had an automatic call this morning telling me the broadband was up and running before I had a chance to swap over the equipment. Set it up, plugged it in and hey presto, all good. Speed good, box stable and wireless working faster than Orange ever did. Only glitch is email? To get access to the outgoing server you have to have at least 1 BT email account with a user name and password but that's not too sad. Hopefully it will continue like this or I will update my review.
    And no I don't work for or have anything to do with BT, if there had been any problems the review would have reflected that. Seeing that there was only negative reviews on thought I would share my positive experience

    Like another reviewer I left BT about 5 years ago as I found their call centre support abysmal.
    This time I was looking for a supplier who could deliver Fibre to the Home ( this had recently become available but my current supplier did not offer this).
    After shopping around I decided on BT) as they offered my a very attractive deal for 500Mbps with voip (we needed to retain our landline number). I placed my order on a Friday and they replied with a detailed schedule of all work (external works, delivery of router and included VOIP handset, and internal works/commissioning.
    All went to schedule and the service went live 2 1/2 weeks later. The speed of the service is exactly as quoted ie 500 down / 73 up. Even the VOIP service was live before the Openreach engineer had packed his tools away.
    The field staff and the call centre people could not be faulted.
    The My BT app is very good also.
    It seems to me that BT have transformed their business processes.

    Never had any problem with reliability or speed. I understand that some areas have really poor signal due to the lack of fibre optic broadband, however this is being addressed by the Government and Openreach so it is a case of sitting tight and waiting. Customer service was very friendly when there was an issue of switching payment methods. This compared to Sky 2 years ago is a million miles better.

    Signed up to a phone, broadband,tv & sport pack. Less than £30 a month. Equipment delivery and engineer were both early. BT Wifi & BT Sport apps are great extras. I had a fault which was fixed within a week including engineer visit at no charge. Even the infamous BT Indian call centre called as promised. Would recommend to anyone

    I have infinity two with unlimited calls. Great speeds. Only had a problem once which was due to a day when we had constant power cuts. Person on the phone was great and all it needed was a reset. My only complaint is the price at £71 a month while other providers are a lot cheaper. I have looked at their reviews and they are much the same as the bad reviews here and a lot of the complaints are about speeds dropping. Do I take a chance and go for the cheaper provider that’s y dilemma.

    Min speed of 64meg and I live in a village not a town. Very impressed with customer contact centre help (UK, India and I think Phillipnes). One Openreach engineer visit who resolved all my internal wiring problems. Line speed went up from 29megs and is rock solid at 64megs two months later.
