“Due to a divorce, they made transferring the landline phone no. to my wifes name very difficult by providing the wrong information to both of us, and not being very helpful at all. While the matter has finally been resolved, I am not happy with BT, a company I've been with for over 20 years and never had a problem before with. However, I won't be using them again.”
“One of the worst companies on the market. They are professional THIEVES. The online system was down so I could not view or download invoices. So they said they will charge me £5 per invoice. Also the monthly charges are extortionate. The longer you stay with them they will increase costs and add new costs to your bill. Avoid this RIP-OFF company.”
“BT are the biggest mis selling, lying cheats in U.K. Business' how the hell have the regulators not done something about them.
Miss old a product - lied to continually during the process - they admitted their staff put fake notes on my account
Internet didnt work for 3 weeks - 2 weeks in a row engineer didn't turn up
Managers never call you back
Most important they don't follow the correct complaints procedure
Complete frauds”
“My broadband service was un-useable, they send engineers out twice to try to resolve the problem. I changed providers and the problem resolved itself immediately.
The customer service at BT is unsatisfactory, they seem to be limited in what they can do and unable to resolve problems that aren't immediately obvious.”
“I was encouraged to go to BT Cloud voice to improve my business telephony performance. DONT DO IT! I have had six months of hell. Every phone call cuts off three seconds of the beginning of a conversation. This also happens when transferring calls. I have made 27 telephone calls reprting this and spent over 4 hours on the phone. The BT cloudvoice team on two occasions told me i don't have an account! I am now taking legal action against, for misselling”
“I am from Halifax w.yorkshire . Spoke to Jesse (Thursday between 5-5:30 appx 1st of june2017)one of the customer service team member.she describe everything in detail ,ins and outs of contract and I end up signing a 18 months fibre optic broadband contract . Very pleasant lady and best customer service I ever got from Bt . Keep it up Jesse , you have made my day .”
“Any one looking at this do yourself a favour change to anyone but these jokers
Changed from BT to BT cloud should be simple you'd think
Never made aware they operate as two separate entities
Currently paying four lots of bills disconnection charges etc all of which was supposed to be wavered as pre agreed before changing/moving
Once you log a complaint you get what seems harassed daily by customer services to deal with the problem but nothing happens
For a communications company there appears to be none”
“Decided to move from talk talk to BT. First order BT had an error on the system, I found out because talk talk text me saying glad you've changed your mind and decided to stay with us. I then called 2/3 times and BT ended up manually processing the order. Several days later I received my activation date of the 26th.
Everything all arrived and the 26th came and went. I had my phone line transferred but no internet.
Called BT on the 27th and they said that there's been a system error. Was told that my connection would be completed anytime up to the 2nd of May (apologies for the delay but bank holiday means it's going to take longer). 2nd of May passed no broadband, was told I would be updated again on the 6th. I called BT again a couple of days later, still unable to give me a date of when it would be active and couldn't now guarantee the 6th of May. I posted a complaint on social media which I was asked to contact BT with details of this complaint. I then spoke with a specialist team member on the 4th who told me I'm so sorry for the delay, I'm going to clear off your old order and then re-process. I'll expedite your request and the connection will be working on either the 10th morning, afternoon or the 11th of May morning. Nothing happened. I emailed Gavin the CEO and I was directed to the executive complaints team, they finally have given me Monday the 15th of May as my go live date... I'm not sure I believe them but we shall see.
If your looking for a broadband provider do not use BT!”
“Cheesed off with intermittent broadband flicking off/on and bad customer service from VirginMedia I thought it time to switch suppliers. Saw adverts for BT broadband/phone, along with enticements to switch to BT. That must have been one of the most frustrating, problematic switches I've ever done with any service provider! I agreed an installation and start date with BT, only to find I had immediately started paying for BT Sports - 4 weeks earlier than agreed. The fitter told me at installation there was a problem with the new modem and I shouldn't leave it switched on unattended due to a possible fire risk - What!! He said to call BT about it. Contacted BT and was told a new modem would arrive within a week. Eight days later I contacted them again to ask where the modem was and they said they had no record of any request for a replacement modem! They eventually sent me a new one but tried to charge me a second delivery cost for the replacement - no way, it was to replace faulty goods! BT then related that delivery to another new, 18 month contract for some reason. On the phone yet again to query the new 18 month contract when I'd only signed up for 12 month one. I was told BT could not now alter that new contract but I should just cancel the contract after 12 months if I wished - now why do I think I would have been charged an early cancellation charge? He said he would check this out for me and could he put me on hold for a few minutes. 39 minutes I waited before the phone just went dead - incredibly bad customer service!
I then decided to make an official complaint. 1. Wrong start date. 2. Paying earlier than agreed. 3. Faulty modem. 4. Paying twice for the modem delivery. 5. Change of contract length without any agreement on my part. 6. Was initially told I could keep my number but it didn't happen. 7. Was told if I pay 12 months line rental up front I could save 10% but that didn't happen either. All this happened within the first month. What next? I dread to think. BT really needs to realise there is such a thing as departmental communication.”
“Signed with BT for my broadband, and more than two weeks after still don't have internet. After dozens of phone calls, different people answering, different answers, they say I have to wait one more week. No reasons for that. Regretting so much choosing BT.”
“Trying to transfer my residential number account to a business account. BT tell me this is very straight forward. However, after receiving two job numbers even one including a new phone number and line and closing the road near my property with traffic lights following a survey by BT Openreach they want to give me a new phone number!! I am now no nearer in what is just a case of account set up facility etc. I have spent in three weeks over 8 hours on the phone, each time the call centre person has been promising to sort it. They appear initially polite and offer sympathy in sorting it out. But the whole back office is useless! Now after another 40mins today, they promise that it is finally sorted. If on this occassion nothing is done I will go elsewhere. How can this company still continue to operate with service like this....I am in business and cannot afford to spend over a working day a month on the phone to BT.”
“BT CLOUD VOICE!!! Don't. Ongoing issue with hunt groups. Only one user is able to answer the phone in each group. No one appears to be getting a hold of the issue. System not fit for purpose. It also has less functionality than the old Mitel system we used.”
“Absolutely appalling customer service. If you move address good luck. As someone had taken over my old landline I had to create a new order. This kept being cancelled without informing me. and dates kept being pushed back. I only discovered this each time when I called up. Most call centre operators so so rude. Also overcharge and then have no record of it. I'm usually pretty laid back. First time I have ever made a complaint like this in my 35 years. Avoid BT like the plague. I'm going to Virgin. Good riddance BT.”
“I Cannot believe how bad this company is. I came to this country not knwoing much about the competition but speaking to BT, they gave me all the possible good vibes about using them and i signed up with them. in my first year, I was horrified and terrified by the bills and their AWFUL AND DIABOLICAL customer service. every single call that I have made to this company was over an hour, wasting my time and at the end of the call, you feel brain dead because the customer service people twist their words and statements so much. I would recommend NOT TO USE THEM WHAT SO EVER. i can go ON AND ON about them but I can't be bothered to waste any more of my time. THANK GOD I LEFT THEM”
