Bt are idiots.

We recently signed up to option 3 on bt total broadband (8mb max speed, 40gb per month usage... and today when we recieved a 'fair usage policy' email stating that we'd exceeded our monthly limit of 2mb!! Great... another reason for me to call BT on monday and have a moan.. they've caused us nothing but problems recently and I'm seriously considering sending a complaint letter!!! ARGH! Why can't anything ever be simple???

  • I left BT 3 years ago. They was unreliable and very expensive and the bill was difficult to read. I went with Onetel and saved over £150 a quarter plus I got free phone calls 24/7. If I was you, I would shop around there are better offers.
    You can see how bad BT are by looking at their phone book but that many people have left them it is only a fraction of the size.

    so you know the cap...exceeded it but somehow it's BT's fault ???? :confused:

    if you "download" a lot of music , films etc surely should have found a supplier that has no cap !

    the OP says that they received an email for using more than 2mb as opposed to 40gb package they are on... even if the OP did do a typo 2gb is still a bit short of the 40GB package that they are meant to be on . . .
