Title: BT
Post by: Peachy on 14 June 2010, 15:32:31
Anyone know how I get hold of BT?
I need to try and get out of my Broadband contract. I have a HomeHub2 I think is called and they have changed it once already, but I still need to re-boot it about 3 times a day. Trouble is I know I will be put through to India and I will not have a clue what they are saying to me.

0800-800-060 or 0800-783-0968.

UK call centre numbers.
(although with some of their northern accents you wouldn't think so................Newcastle and Manchester!!!)

Tunnie, don't start me off. If I could have gotten the number off the BT website I can assure you I would have. I used the number that Mike gave me and I was put thru to a UK call centre. I also remember another member asking for BT advice on here last week and I do NOT remember you giving him the advice (unwanted) and uncalled for that you gave me. Seems you just look for any excuse to have a pop at me. I could have a pop at you for BRAGGING about this and that but I do not. Leave me alone and keep your NASTY remarks to yourself.

After BT ran some line tests they came back with this.......

Download speedachieved during the test was - 4633 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :6016 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 5000 Kbps
So what they are telling me is I have a PC problem. Cannot be, as the problems persists on 2 Laptops and a Desktop. So none the wiser.

With respect, luvvy, this points to yet another BT home hub going faulty................

Time to kick up a fuss and ask for an engineer to call.

I have already had 2 new ones since October.
Guy on phone insisted it was a PC problem, who am I to argue, even though it took ages for the line test page to open whilst he was on the phone with me, and him saying should not take this long to open a page.
Beats Me.

I worked with a couple of guys from that neck of the woods - I could listen to that accent all day - and frequently did ;D ;D.  Quite musical 8-) 8-) :y
