Worst telecom company ever. We are moving out of town and have been told that we owe a £500 penalty to close our account despite being up to date on all payments? Outrageous! Virgin does not slam their customers like that. Once your contract ends I recommend that you choose ANY other provider in the UK (i.e., Orange, Telefonica, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, Telenor Group and Virgin Group). Or if you are looking subscribe, DON'T! They do not care about you as a customer and only want your money, and they will screw you to get it.

Absolutely don’t care, avoid at all costs ! Signed up to deal as only way to TNT sports, that’s where the nightmare started. Cancelled & restarted my order numerous times and then kept moving the the start date. Cut my phone no off I have had for over 35 years and my 86 year old mother in law couldn’t contact me, as I was unaware and then found out they had given me another no. Fighting for 2 x months to get no back only to be told can’t have it and can’t help me as no active account.

More than 2 weeks ago BT “accidentally ” disconnected my broadband (including a Bereavement pHone Helpline). Although mistakes can be made what followed has been unbelievable. When attempting to get the service back I found that BT have tried to make it impossible for a customer in need to speak to them. The only way to speak to a human is to go through as a customer who wants to upgrade and then ask not the advisor to put you through to connections. However, the 9 people I have spoken to at Connections are either completely incompetent or fundamentally dishonest. Each advisor I have spoken to sounds credible and has assured me that they can sort the problem out and dependent upon the advisor the service will be restored “later today, tomorrow, in three days, or 5 days”. It’s now been over 2 weeks since they made their mistake. I am still without a connection, Each time I manage to speak to somebody I am told the failure to reconnect is the fault of BT Open Reach, BT Wholesale, the advisor I previously spoke to or Sky! To top it all they have explained to me that managers will not speak to customers as they can’t tell them anything different to the advisor taking the call. When I insisted yesterday that the advisor connect me to a manager she told me that “Aaron” has only just come back from leave and has hundreds of things to do so is too busy, I did not accept that so she spoke to him again to ask him to take my call, only to be told that he will try to call me within 3 to 5 days.

If I could give BT less than 1 star i would, the amount of trouble i have had over the last 5 years has been unreal, broadband cutting out, loads of engineers coming out and not being able to fix the issues, being lied to constantly, then I had a letter saying my account was going to be closed for non-payment so I looked at my online bill and i could see that I was up-to-date on my bill but I paid this month's early just to be sure, I then received one of those jiffy bags that you have to return the kit, so I went on BT's online chat and asked what was going on as my bill was up to date. Some guy who couldn't hardly speak a word of English came on and said it was their mistake and that the reason I was getting jiffy bags was cause I hadn't sent my old router back last year after I received a new one, so when I told him I had returned it he told me that it was fine and he'd marked it as returned and that my account was all good and I wouldn't hear from them again. I asked why I received a letter and he said it was their mistake. Fast forward to yesterday and my Internet been disconnected so I phoned BT and asked what was going on and was told my account had been closed due to non-payment so I explained and they said although it was their mistake there was nothing they could do and that I would have to sign back up, so i asked if i had to have a new activation date and i was told yes!!! I am absolutely furious, when I spoke to a member of the team on the online chat I repeatedly asked why did I get a letter and he avoided the question I put a complaint in and a very rude woman spoke to me and said it had been disconnected due to non-payment from July to September and I had received all sorts of emails threatening me I would be disconnected, so I said I'd received emails saying thank you for your payment and I could provide proof, so she kept interupting me so when I interrupted her once she had the cheek to say "hang on a minute I haven't finished talking yet" and continued to say that I would just need to sign back up which I refused, i also asked her to check the online chat transcript between myself and her colleague about him saying it was fine and i wouldn't here from them again about this issue and she went and said "I can't check the chat" lmfao so when its convenient for them they can check things but when their in the wrong all of a sudden she cant check lol, so cause my bill is £20 a month if I hadn't paid then why is my "final bill" only £20? Surely if I hadn't paid BT then it would be more than £20? I asked that and the woman hung the phone up on me 🤣, my complaint was closed with the solution being filled out as "we've explained our policy" what a joke!! Why didn't the guy I spoke to on the online chat tell me my service was going to be cancelled even though I told him I had paid it and he said my account was fine. I am disgusted the way I have been treated!! I warn EVERYONE do not go with BT, i have signed up to another service now and it's not only cheaper but seems a lot better than what i've experienced with BT, they are rude, they like to threaten and try to intimidate people but cause instood up to them they didn't like that and hung the phone up on me. I have been in touch with the Financial Ombudsman Service and will be taking this further. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!! STAY AWAY FROM BT!! they will try to bully you and if your in the right they will speak to you like dirt and won't listen to you at all and will continue to threaten you!! Good luck!!

I wouldn't ever recommend this service to anyone of my friends or even foes . I was promised new BT box in tge post 3 weeks and never arrived. I also asked for TNT sports . They informed me that " I would be up and straight on Thursday . Then I were disappointed and contactedBT. They told me that " tge RNT sports will be linked on following Monday , still haven't received it . I ask for compensation and cancelled my sky entertainment package and no way have their TNT sports either. I'm discussed and got through to 3 different advisors and experienced at least one hour on phone listening to music. There is no communication with one another at VT so have to explain tge situation to each advisor you speak too. I could process and write out long story why I wouldn't recommend BT service . The verdict is " rubbish " .

Scum of the earth. Please, please do not ever join these. Well I joined BT for there 6 months half price deal and if id have known now what i know, I wouldn't have paid 50p a month. Cut my internet off 7 times in 5 months because they kept getting my grandad and mines accounts mixed up (he hasn't been with bt for 3 years) they kept cutting services off before billing date knowing I'm on the vulnerability list and have young children with monitors ect, took 2 double direct debits which I had to fight for to get back, way below promised spoeds, TV service was glitchy and slow. So I left to Sky, received my final bill reminded from bt £656.53 with options for payment plans ect, called the number to be told BT don't accept payment plans and its because it has already gone to a debt collection agency (when I called day I received the letter) it wad with TDX group... Or so I thought, contacted TDX to setup payment plan to be told they don't support BT as a client and it's not with them😂 called BT back to be told sorry there mistake it's actually with moorcrofts and they gave me the number, contacted Moore crofts, same thing... No idea about the debt ect. Called BT back to be told its not actually with a debt collection agency yet its not going until 30th September but I could pay the full amount now😂 Im trying to pay the debt but there refusing, manager promised called me today between 12:30pm and 14:30pm no call, called BT back to be told my only option is to wait to get a letter from the debt agency. Which there adding on 15% onto the balance 😂 never known anything like it. Please avoid at all costs. Sky has a bad name but I can assure you, they are better than this scummy company by far. Talk talk, virgin, please go with anyone but these. Not worth it at all.

Bill explanation from bt, for disconnecting service and for £27 unpaid bill - "Hi, the service has been disconnected as the bills have not been paid. The service was agreed in a contract and in breaking that contract these charges have been created as early termination fees. The charges break down as £693.71 for the broadband, £18 disconnection fee, £235.63 for the phone line service, which adds up to £947.34. The VAT on this is £189.47. That comes to £1136.81. On top of this the bills have not been paid for the service" Well done bt, you know how to rip off customers with your contracts

Worst service ever. Avoid like the plague. Called to move homes on the 11th of August. An engineer was supposed to visit on the 6th of September (new address), the usual 08:00-13:00 five hour wait, no one shows up. Informed the engineer cancelled for no reason and this has been "reported internally." Appointment set up for the 19th of September, initially. Called back, appointment moved to the 11th. Engineer shows up, says he can't fix the problem and another "special" engineer or group of engineers have to attend, says that usually happens in 48 h. No one shows. Multiple calls, promised appointment by the end of the week. No one shows. New appointment for the 19th of September, no one shows. First person says Openreach cancelled appointment, second that BT never sent them the appointment. Third person promises appointment in 2 days or the next day. Appointment booked in three days. Called multiple times again, useless, no one able to help. Called again, appointment confirmed, fed up said I want to cancel my account and my money back, lady tries to convince me this "can't be done," "no one can cancel your account," refuses to put me through to manager. Between all these events, must have spent 10 h of my life on the phone with 15-20 different person from BT, at least three morning waiting for engineers, two of them ghosts. In the meantime, paying for a service I'm not receiving. Absolute scammers and fraudsters. I'd rather throw my money down the gutter than pay them another dime.

Don’t go to bt. Customer care none existent. They only want your money once in you can’t get out of deal. BT to big no communication let hand doesn’t know what rights doing. All round shoddy service with no interest in consumer.

Possibly the worst service ever! We have been without phone and internet for over a week! We have phoned daily and promised call backs that never come. We have an BT iCloud setup which only works with internet connection, BT have cut the Broadband line off so no phones, not even to mention to other things that run off internet/ wi fi. Have now had to try involve ombudsman. Best avoided if you need phone lines and internet to run your company. This mistake was caused by International Call centres not understanding our initial reason for calling 🤷🏻‍♀️

My mum has been with BT for 40yrs 3 months ago she asked for a package to be changed from landline to both broadband and landline for 26.99 but they needed to do some work outside the property for fibre broadband while they were doing the work they disconnectef the phone withoyt teklibg her when complainef they issued her with s temporery number charging 45 pound extra a month plus the 26.99 for broadband and she has been promised eveeyweek to have her old number back but they hsvent goven her. That number she has had for 40 yrs is for doctors and family members to call. The temp number is suppose to go but has been stuck for 4 months. The work they have done for the broadband is a trip hazard as they left the wire out which is a trip hazard. Never seen any company as bad as BT. Tried to send a email and they dont have one. I phone them and they give fake promises.

I joined BT TV & Broadband a couple of month ago. The reason I changed was my previous provider was getting quite expensive. I’m a pensioner and needed to cut down on a few things. All I would say to anyone thinking of changing over to BT is “don’t do it” what a nightmare the broadband is ok but the TV is a definite no no. Any App you wish to stream on is extra and needs a additional monthly payments, some apps they don’t support at all for instance Disney+ You can only record one programme at any given time. I could go on and on about how bad it is but I won’t, all in all it’s costing me more money now than my previous provider. Unfortunately I can’t do anything about it as I am on a 24 month contract. All I would say to anyone considering BT TV just don’t go there.

Terrible customer services. Once joined them, told me different things, now I have changed my address they force me to engage new 2 years contract and they raised their tariff without informing me. When range to to complain they said we don't consider any complain.. don't recommend it at all.

Give BT your money if you want hassle and battle. Andrew, BT's customer service supervisor in Warrington, is belligerent, disparaging. It looks that BT makes up their customers' reviews. BT has lost 126,000 customers in 3 months? (The Telegraph 27/7/23). No surprise. BT's customer service is resolutely determined to drive customers away. BT has my landline number wrong and mobile number wrong which might have something to do with their persistent random rejection of my log on to my BT ID since about late 2021. BT then cut my landline and broadband off in July 2023. It looks malicious as I have told BT many times to correct their numbers. BT keeps sending links, as fixes to my complaint, to an email address which I have told them I cannot open. BT would throw up 'We seem to have a technical issue', yet after 3 pass codes, 11 new passwords and 2 PINs and that was done with BT's Luke on the phone on 31/5/23, BT would still reject my log on. Luke said he would raise a bridge case whatever that means and someone would call. No one ever did. Same with Corey on 21/6/23 who said he would raise a ticket and someone would call. Again no one ever did. BT's Mark in Darlington was accusatory threatening when I complained on 31/7/23 as if it was my fault for the issues and he was only doing me a favour. For the 3 dates and the 3 times that BT then said they had called, I had got not 1 of them. David's supervisor Andrew in Warrington was belligerent, a bully boy in disguise. Andrew brought up that I was not on a more costly package with faster broad band. But broad band speed is never the issue. Faster broad band will not log me on to my BT ID. I am a light broad band user. I do not need faster broad band. It says how out of order Andrew is, trying to belittle customers. It makes one wonder why BT has someone like Andrew in customer service and a supervisor at that. Maybe that is how BT makes money. Beat customers into giving up. I would have given BT a negative if there is this option.
