My so called 8mb connection often runs at 75k during peak times and lately doesn't work at all at times. I live a few hundred metres from the exchange.

BT seem to consider themselves as gods. and we are the lowly mushrooms that are kept in the dark and fed..... well you know. when someone knows more than the people in the Indian call centers it causes them problems. but nothing ever gets done. an engineer may call round but all he will do is tell you the same info as your router. it is a wonder how they can justify the extra costs of their product. i think a more reliable service could be gained with a telegraph machine opperated by monkeys

The speed is average but drops considerably on a regular basis, far too unreliable.

Low speed as opposed to the published speed ! Line check carried out and all ok. Moved router to a short direct connection to the main bt box and disconnected all other devices. Ran the speed check again and it was still low.

Although being upgraded to the 20MB option I think BT did this network upgrade in my area before it was totally ready. This is born out by the drop in downloading speed initially, compared to my 8MB option previously.I do not like the Indian call centre for support because I cannot always understand what they are saying.Bring back call centres to this country for a customer friendly service.

promised a speed of 2.5-3 mbps, never had such a speed in 10 months of being with them. The best we have had was 1.5 for 2 days, average is 500 kbps, but normally speed is between 400-30 kbps ( yes 30 kbps slower than dial up modem )speed up to the router as 8 open reach engineers will testify is 2.5 mbps, so line etc is OK, but b.t. keeps the speed low at their end.

Its ok if nothing goes wrong, but any "Techie" calls go to India and the English is barely understandable - no use when trying to explain things. I was trying to get to the bottom of why I was getting a low signal but I couldn't understand what the Indians were saying and they couldn't understand me !! Left in the lurch.

After 7 years of support to BT, I still pay £26.99 per month for about 1.88Mbps download. I have asked BT for a fixed IP address as compensation for such poor download speeds in order that I can host an exchange server, but they have declined stating I should re-sign up to a business account, but the speed may well stay the same as it is now.

SKY was very slow and timed out regularly and particularly in on-line auctions. This resulted in not being able to bid and losing items by the time of re-setting back. SKY also sometimes completely disappeared just leaving LAN connections and no (Big Computer Icon)Internet Connection. I joked when leaving SKY I could 'RUN FASTER' :-) The upgrade they gave me for an extra five pounds a month was no better. I did give them a chance but nothing changed. To-day I received and setup the BT hub package I ordered.It was effortless,in fact all I did was connect the wiring(ADSL Filter,Phone Wire and LAN wire). It is so fast 100% faster than SKY nearly 6mb to SKY's 3-4mb. I'm glad I switched to BT, a better service for less.

very poor speeds, Dial up was faster, average speed is around 180KBps - 240 Kbps (or 0.18 -0.24Mbps). Ringing customer services gets the same responses, although we told you it would be a 4Mbps line that is a maximum and I can see you were suposed to be quicker I change that for you now. Every 6 months you ring the speed increases to 2 - 3Mbps and then slows down with in a few weeks.

They, BT , are a joke. I pay for up to 2MB per second. I get 320kbs. The service is not good, they take the micky. You are unable to speak anyone who is interested. If you complain enough the speed may improve, for a short time!

I was promised three Mb, but have never had it for more than a few minutes. For months they were replacing lines in the area, during which we seldom had more than 0.5 Mb, and many times my IP profile gets 'stuck' at 130K, and can stay down often for a week at a time, until my frantic telephoning persuades somebody to move their finger to press a button and reset it. I cannot tell you how many hours I have been on the phone.

Since competition came into our area, BT has always demanded a high price for their ASDL. Now they are around 50% cheaper without explanation, other than I can never achieve a good connection. I discovered I have been double interleaved at the node, and as very very few suppliers will ever divulge the contention ratios, I suspect I'm sharing a measly 8mbps with 500 people.

I have just moved over from Zen internet which was 100% reliable, but limited to 2 meg speed to BT business. I now get 120k download and trying to get any sense out of BT is utterly impossible, they have always had a reputation, but naïvely I though that they had improved. Each time I get through to them, they promise action, but each any every time they let me down. So now I'm stuck, with a "virtual dial up connection speed" and nowhere to turn. So dont be fooled, they were bad, they have a bad reputation and more importantly, they are still as bad as they have ever been. I would steer clear like the plague.

Bt should spend some of their millions doing up all their network to fibre optic, as we find out in local areas like easterhouse barlanark springburn carntyne they dont get the promised 8meg broadband we get 2 if we are very lucky last night mine dropped again to under 1 meg which is appaling as i pay the same price that other people do who get 8mb and above.

Speed check is shocking, considering I was getting a faster connection in the North of Scotland with BT. The wireless is awful Hub V1. I live in a small 3 bedroom house and my playstation 3 cannot connect when downstairs as hub is upstairs

BT have always tried hard to help me, but am faced with speed problems which do not seem to get cured.I am aware being in the country speed can be a big issue, but problem speed has been the main issue for some time.

Although I am grateful that we have broadband,the speed jumps around like crazy.Some times of the day and weekend,you could pull it with a piece of string between your teeth faster.It makes gaming almost impossible.Almost as bad as dial-up.

I'm paying for up to 8mb per per second, I should be getting about 4.8mbps as that what the line currently supports and a BT engineer has confirmed this.For the last couple of weeks I've been watching my service disintegrate before my eyes and despite countless call to BT's support line, nothing's changed. I've swapped out my router, my cables and my filters, no change. my latest test results, download speed of 0.27 mbps and upload speed of 0.29 mbs are about average for the last couple of weeks, although my download speed has been down as far as 0.06mbps! The only reason I've rated the service as very poor is that I can't rate them any worse.

Problem has been ongoing for about 7 weeks. Underground work needs to be carried out. I was told it had been carried out but it is supposedly being carried out today. They told me lies and broadband speeds are pathetic - 332kbbs download 328 kbps upload.Would not recommend BT.

Service liable to cut off,even told network is busy yet I pay and only get low speeds,so presumably my low speed connection is cut off while others paying the same but with more than 10 times my connection speed are getting service.
