During December I phoned BT about my phoneline and heard the Broadband option on the automated menu. And a month later, here I am. I've signed up for the BT openworld 2MB Broadband with 6GB usage guideline for £22.99. Firstly, 2MB is fast, although its now been overshadowed by an even faster 8 MB Broadband line. However, BT ...  Read the complete review

Pants - Advantages: Nice characters on advert - Disadvantages: Awful Customer Services, Sometimes Awful connection speed, Far far far far too expensive

I have been on 3 ISP's to date. Tesco.net Screaming.net (aka. World online - aka. Tiscali) And BTopenworld dial up Tesco were a very reliable service provider but were too expensive so we swapped to Screaming.net. They were the most reliable service provider out there I belive. But with all good things they dropped ...  Read the complete review

BTopenworld has suffered rather a lot of bad press of late, including a feature on BBC Watchdog about their below-par billing and technical support. As I'd been with BTO for some time as a happy customer, I didn't take these complaints too seriously. I had been very pleased with the speed of connection, services offered (including webmail ...  Read the complete review

lets break up the word anytime and pronounce it: any time. now any time means any time you want to do something you can do it any time. and bt can advertise what they like to people any time, but can they deliver the product they call anytime to people any time? i have used bt anytime for around 2 years now, the problems i have become used to, i ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who is familiar with BT Internet will know this opinion isn?t going to be singing any praises! Bt Internet charges customers £14.99 per month for their ?Anytime? service. This service apparently allows customers to connect 24/7 - hence the name ?Anytime?. What BT fails to make clear is that you are disconnected every 2 hours to ...  Read the complete review

When I first signed up to BTinternet Anytime, the service was great ands I could connect all the time, absolutely no complaints, well except for the 2 hour disconnection but everyone service provider seemed to be doing that if they provided free calls. After 1 year of using the service, say in the last 3 months, the service has deteriorated ...  Read the complete review

I could rant about this ISP forever but I shall try and give as much info as possible instead of slagging it off which I could do easily. BTOpenworld costs £14.99 per month which enables you to use the internet any time you wish to without worrying about expensive day rates. I had to sign up to a monthly pre pay package as my uni course ...  Read the complete review

BT Openworld (or BTInternet as they were then) have been my ISP for 4 years now. I was initially attracted to them because they started with a bang and got rave reviews for their great service and they quickly hoovered up a lot of disgruntled surfers who were with ‘smaller’ ISPs at the time – I was one of these long suffering ...  Read the complete review

* Not updated, just brought forward. In support of my anti-BT crusade.* Once upon a time, in a land of big skies, howling winds, and unruly marauding Teuchters*, there lived an Aspen. This land was in deepest, darkest Scotland, and was known by few, other than intrepid oil entrepreneurs from some American village called Houston. It ...  Read the complete review

I have been a customer of BT for quite a number of years and up until 10 weeks ago I would have been singing their praises. I was really happy with the service and I had no problems connecting. I got on first time, every time and I would have given the service 5 stars - even though I did get disconnected from the service every few hours, I only ...  Read the complete review

From some of the reviews and opinions on the net it would seem that my opinion of the service in general is in the minority but (In my personal experiance) BT Openworld has been very satisfying on the whole. I was a home high way customer and transfered to ADSL as soon as it was available in my area as ISDN is practically the same cost ...  Read the complete review

I am a member of BT internet and have been for quite a while now even though they have changed the packages somewhat. Btopenworld.com provides you with everything you may want to know about BT it makes a very good homepage and for anyone who wants to know anything about BT then this is the site. They have changed the homepage to make it ...  Read the complete review

Alas my BT openworld ADSL connection is no more... Yes, I was one of the seemingly relatively few fortunate to live within a stone's throw of their local exchange, and managed to get BT to deliver the service quickly (read less than 2 months).

We have NTL digital cable television and a BT telephone line, why? Because I work for a company which provides a free connection for working at home as long as its BT. So when I finally decided to go to broadband I called NTL, NTL don't provide broadband internet in Portsmouth, because they bought C&W's business and have not bothered to ...  Read the complete review

I have 2 phone lines one dedicated to the internet, I ordered the ADSL over 2 months ago and was very pleased when they said it was available at my exchange, living only 2 miles fromt the exchange meant I would have no problems, however when they came out to fit the adsl the line failed the final test they were looking for a reading of .50 and ...  Read the complete review

BT Openworld promises "always on" internet, and that's what it delivers for the most part. The waiting list is quite large, and so it will take a while between sign up and actual installation, but the wait is worth it. I always had monthly phonebills topping £100, and now I only have to worry about the £39.99 flat rate ...  Read the complete review

I registered for BTopenworld in May 2000. This gave me an entitlement to free installation. Since then I've received two e-mails, neither of which conveyed much information. Despite my e-mailing them on a number of occasions they do not even seem to be prepared to give me a rough estimate when it can be installed. I am currently using ...  Read the complete review
