3 weeks with BT Broadband - How to cancel?

It seems by reading these forums that I'm not alone in having problems with BT broadband.  I switched from Sky to BT for my broadband on the 5th September 2014 an have had constant issues and problems with the service and quite frankly it is not fit for purpose.  At the moment I'm not able to use the broadband service at all as it is constantly dropping out literally all day.
An engineer is coming out on Thursday to look at my issue, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully cancel their BT broadband contract so soon after it started and what the process is for doing so?  I'm not getting what I paid for so far - a dial up connection I had 20 years ago was better than what my homehub 4 gives me!

you need to give BT time to sort out your problem and first step is the openreach engineer you have coming.  hopefully that will fix your problem.  if BT do not agree to let you out of your contract - there is no cooling off after activation and this has been covered in many posts - you will face a high cancellation charge

  • First 4 weeks with BT Broadband

    Hi All
    This is my first post and covers my experience with BT broadband since my connection came live on 23 August 2010.
    I had been with Freesaerve, Wanadoo and then Orange and had a stable connection giving me around 2400kbps, in fact on the 23rd while still connected to Orange I used BT speedtester and that gave me an IP profile of 2500 with a download speed of 2323.
    24th August, now with BT, I checked my speed and was pleased to see I was getting 2485 so was well pleased. For the first time I look at the e-mail address I choose when ordering BB and enter the password given to me by BT.
    Surprise, surprise I have over 2600 e-mails in my in box, 2 are from BT to me, but the rest are in the name of a lady, I am male, and I have a couple of lady friends none of who I recognise.
    I try to change my password but cannot as my details are not recognised. Phone the helpline and speak to a gent who has no idea what is going on but resets my personal details and then I am able to change password and delete all existing information.
    This raise's the question of how unique are BT e-mail address's and/or how long are they active for?
    25th a friend visited and told me my phone was not working, that came as a surprise as I was online at the time. Tried to make a call in from mobile and sure enough no ring tone. Reported fault to BT but was still able to use internet.
    26th phone and internet completely dead and I discover many people in the village have similar problems or have crossed lines.
    Openreach engineer visits 2nd September and gets phone and internet working again. Check speed, it is 1950. I assume I will now be back up in the10 day stabilisation period.
    Well it is now 20 September and my speed seems to have stabilised but at 1450 or there about. BT speedtester now tells me my IP Profile is 1500.
    I am plugged into the test socket and the following are my Hub stats.

    HEC Errors (Down/Up)
    nil / 9
    Error Seconds (Local)
    2
    I clarify that I did switch off the HomeHub last night to see if it might reset to a better speed but I can assure you that prior to that it had not been switched off since 2nd September. Also the noise margin and Line attenuation figures are not changed since my days with Orange.
    It seems to me that BT Speedtester is no different from any other speedtest as all it does it tell you what your current speed is and your IP profile follows that.
    Sorry if this is all rather long but I wanted to ensure I laid out all that has happened since I changed to BT and am now on a lower speed when they say you will be on the highest speed possible.
    Is there anything I can do about this and many thanks for any interest shown.

    Hi Solpuerto,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.
    By the sounds of it your broadband has been affected by the problem you had with your telephone service.  It may take the broadband connection a bit of time to recover from that.  From the stats that you have supplied your sync speed is recovering, if this remains stable then your IP profile should increase to 2000 within 72 hours of your reset.
    If your connection is dropping at all then this will delay the recovery.  If your speed has not improved at all by now then please drop me an email to the address in my profile, include your BT account details and the link to this thread.
    Cheers

  • Excise base amount in LOcal currency in J1IG and How to cancel old

    Hi,
    I have two query for depot plant
    1: In case of import material PO currcny is JPY,  now after PO I have done the GR  then ref. to GR number  I am doing the J1IG  in J1IG  in the column  Excise base the default amount is coming from the PO  but it is in PO currency  JPY , we required this amount in INR,  so is there any setting for this.
    2: Aftre PO i have made the   GR  then ref. to GR  i have create the RG entry  with   J1IG  ,  but there is some problem  in the RG entry  so i want to reverse / cancel  that,  which step to be follow for this  My  GR is OK , i read in some thered  it can be done with J1IJ  but how to cancel it .
    regards,
    zafar

    Hi
    1.     Since you are doing this for depot with foreign currency, like you entering all the excise values for 4 duties manually you have to change Excise base value also manually in INR.
    2.     For cancelling the RG23D entry, go from J1IG itself, when you enter in J1IG you can see 4 tabs at the top, select the last tab with cross on it give your material document no and excise group , year and enter then just save system will ask you to confirm and save, then extract RG23D by J2I5 & then with J2I6 you will see it is deleted.

  • How to cancel BT broadband

    After 3 weeks of having no broadband and BT refusing to believe it's their equipment its now time to cancel. I've had a look at my account online but can't see how to cancel. I've had it for many years so I'm guessing there won't be a cancellation fee. My next bill is due 2nd December so can it be done before I stump up for another 3 months broadband?
    Also what happens to the router etc.

    Hello JD_123,
    There's an option to cancel on the help line when you phone them.
    The number is 0800 111 4567

  • How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ?

    How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ? My husband has an ipad and he can see the whole week and the whole year... is it possible with iphone 4 ?

    What you see is what is available.
    Turning the iPhone into landscape mode with Month, Day, or List view selected provides the closest thing to seeing an entire week.

  • Total Broadband Option 3 how to cancel it all?

    I have today requested, received and used my MAC code so that I can move broadband providers, only reason for move is that my usage is increasing majorly with 3 kids at home.
    Question 1: Will the "Broadband Talk" which is obviously linked to my broadband account automatically stop when the migration is complete? (I pay an extra £5 a month on my broadband bill to have free calls on the hubphone), obviously dont want to pay for something i can't use.
    Question 2: Will the "ToGo" phone (which is on a different account number) also automatically cancel when my migration is complete? I have never used the ToGo phone from day 1 never wanted it but was given it with a new hub upon recontracting last time.
    I've phoned BT till i am blue in the face to cancel the ToGo handset account and i'm at a loss as no one seems to know, one person says it will automatically go with the broadband and then another says it will stay i have to cancel seperate etc...
    Can anyone please shed any light on to this and/or a mod kindly take a look for me please?
    Thanks.

    Hi Stigfish,
    Broadband Talk will be cancelled automatically as its tied into your broadband package.
    Not too sure about the ToGo if its under a different account number but if you drop me an email with all your BT account details then I can double check the order if you like and make sure everything is going through ok.
    Just send to [email protected]
    Cheers

  • How to cancel the connection with my HK BDS?

    Apperently my Harman Kardon BDS wants to connett my MackBook almost 30 times an hour. This is very anoying and I want to cancel this. Please help!!

    Your iPhone 4 should already be internet ready and you shouldn't need a dongle to use the phone. Depending on who you have your service with this is how they make there money by you using the Internet.. If I may suggest lookinto one of the plans that offers UNLIMITED Call, Text, Data, and everything else the phone is capable of for under $50.00 American there are several out there that offer this plan. T Mobile, Net10 just to name a couple. If your intent is to use a phone that has the capability but is not set up it is cheaper and less headaches in other ways.
