Even Escalation to Exec level complaints team was a waste of time and after they initially agreed that 6 months of unreliable service was unacceptable and needed to build a case to take it to Director level at Openreach to resolve they then called and out of the blue are now claiming that 5 drops in connection per day for a minimum of 10 minutes at a time is now their ‘acceptable standard‘ so like it or lump it there’s nothing more they can do which has overnight went from really helpful and agreeing with my complaint to couldn’t give a monkey’s and take it to the Ombudsman if you want (which we have no alternative but to do given that as BT are the only provider who can offer any speeds over 3mb at our address and they all have to use BT networks anyway)…..shocking and a complete U turn on their initial attitude. Suspect they are refusing to repair old network (despite still charging customers for unreliable service) as focus is on meeting targets for new super fast network with future overhead cables to everyone’s property) Hopefully now BT has been taken over by EE they will get rid of their couldn’t care less attitude and bring standards up but don’t hold your breath as BT staff attitude is probably now ingrained with ‘do as little as humanly possible’ and will be difficult to change. The fact that BT don’t even comment on reviewers nightmares speaks volumes about their couldn’t care less attitude.
