BT is the world’s oldest and a global leader in providing communications solutions to 170 countries. BT’s core businesses include telecommunications, networked IT services, internet products and services and broadband.
BT’s broadband connectivity is offered via three options - Option 1, 2 and 3. Contracts for 12 or 18 months are applicable and longer the contract lesser the price. Whatever be the contract length, the first three or six months (depending on the option chosen) are charged lesser than the subsequent ones. A standard wired router or wireless BT Home Hub accompany the package. The broadband speeds are up to 8MB and download limits are either 5GB, 8GB or unlimited. A BT Hub Phone and unlimited Wi-Fi minutes are available along with Option 3 alone, whereas other options allow 250 or 350 minutes only. Basic or advanced Norton security is also provided.
Features common to all options are the availability of BT Vision, 24/7 customer support, 5GB free online storage, evening and weekend UK calls. The security features include email anti-virus protection and parental controls.
Consumer Reviews of BT Broadband packages have been postive most of the time, with some occasional customer service complaints.
BT broadband can be connected via a BT landline or non-cable telephone line. When the usage allowance is exceeded for two months continuously a charge of 30p per excess GB is levied, starting on the second month. Depending on the choice of connectivity you will receive a welcome pack that contains a microfilter, BT Home Hub, BT Hub Phone and an installation CD and if required an engineer will install the broadband connection. After an order is placed, the connection will be established in 5 working days and orders can be placed via the website or phone.
