Title: Thank god for BT!
Ok so I know BT have had a bit of a bad rap on here and I will preface this review by saying I was previously with Tesco and carrier pigeon would be more use than they were.

My experience with BT did not exactly get off to a flying start. They have an odd policy of not sending out your router until the day your service is supposed to start. I guess this is to make it easy if people decide to change before the service starts so they don't have a router to return. Anyway, come my activation day my router did not arrive, I was not very happy at all. I called up and they apologised and promised one would be with me the next day. Next day comes and goes without a router! So I was really mad this time and the lady on the other end of the phone was very helpful and got a new delivery sorted and also gave me a BT vision box by way of apology so Im pretty happy with that!

The router arrived as she said it would and let me tell you it is a solid piece of kit and is a cut above any router I have been issued with from previous ISP's.

In terms of speed I am getting double the speed I got with Tesco and that is at peak time. I don't seem to have any P2P traffic managment at all and I regularly get 1Mb/s + downloads on uTorrent and around 10 Mb/s on speed tests.

Generally I am very happy apart from the early hick-up with the router and my free Vision box made up for that.

I would recomend BT. Sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
