Question by jean j: Can anybody tell me how good is BT broadband?
I have just closed my account with talktalk because they were such rubbish. I am changing my phone line back to BT, but would like to know if their broadband is any good.

i’ve heard through the grapevine they are rotten, various things go wrong with it.
What do you think? Answer below!
Have been with BT ever since I have had broadband (several years). I have had little problem with them, except that, at peak periods, the service occasionally slows down. There have also been the occasional drop-out(i.e. failure of connection whilst on-line) problems but these may be due to my computer rather than Bt‘s equipment. Annoying but easily rectified using their Broadband Help system.
I have BT Broadband, and it took 102 days after activation to start working! So I’m kinda biased against them in terms of their customer care. The connections not too bad, but a while ago it went off for about 4 days, and I was told that it was a common problem at the time, and nothing could be done but wait.
My daughter just had it for 10 days,it was always going down ,shes cancelled and gone with NTL who im with ,4 years of trouble free broadband.
sorry to say hun but i have bt broadband and i certainly would not recomend it, i have variouse problems, main one is when a caller rings you up they can’t hear you. loading is slow.
I used to be with ntl a very good fast service then we moved house to a non cable area so had to go with bt. the service you get from bt is absolute rubbish if we had an alternative they would be long gone.
Well I have been on BT Broadband for a long time. My only complaint is that the broadband access regularly goes down every night, sometimes up to five or six times every hour. That is a real nuisance for me ….. and their customer service is bad. They promise to sort it but never, ever do. But saying that everyone else that I have been in contact with are very pleased with BT broadband.
BT Braodband is OK but isnt the best the wireless BT Home Hub is great but can have some downsides as dosent have a fixed line rate, so you can get some good (e.g. 500kbps) download speeds and some really crap ones (e.g. 50kbps).
Even though BT says 8mb broadband its deciving and thats not the transfer speed (how fast you download) but overall its ok!
Have had BT Broadband now for seven years. Had one problem in all that time and it was solved pretty quickly. Solid service; good speed. Only issue is that their net protect service is not available for Macs, which is irritating.
ive had bt broadband for nearly 3 years and had little hassles with it / real fast connection too. going from website to website is almost as fast as channel hopping on my tv. I personally would reccomend bt broadband x
I have B.T. Broadband (Basic Package) 2.2 Mbps it seems adequate, pretty reliable, but as it is the only one I have had I have nothing to compare it too,
