BT phone and internet problems

Problems with BT

BT connection problems

It is impossible to talk to anyone as I just can’t hear anything and as for my BT broadband, well that keeps disconnecting every few minutes. This is a nightmare; again I have been on the phone nearly every day.



Since I moved house I've had endless problems with BT. First of all it was my phone line and then when I got broadband things got worse. None of the BT engineers seem capable of sorting the problems out.

01-4-2008NR, if you are abusive to call centre staff then they are more likely to hang up on you than help or call you back. As for premium rate numbers for complaints ???? I think you might have got that wrong.BT engineer
