I think my next step is to get in touch with the CEO.

Do it ASAP John, as Gavin Patterson the current CEO of BT is stepping down at the end this month. If you check my post in the thread you will find his direct email address. All the best with that.

I hope you people are not with O2 for your mobile contracts - the poor CEO would be losing the will to live!

I don't think any of us are suggesting the moment your broadband slows down or drops out you should contact the CEO. If its a persistent problem and they are failing to solve it, then should we just keep paying the bill and accept a bad service?


As previously stated, going to the top at Virgin worked well for me.

Also when I worked for Sainsburys and they owed me money for overtime for about 3 months, promising to pay it in the following wage packet, and failing, I emailed the CEO. Had the money owed to me, in cash, within 24hrs. Area HR got a kicking, who gave the store HR a kicking. Strangely enough, despite previously being quite widespread within store on a monthly basis, peoples wages stopped getting messed up after that... Christmas profits scam.

Yours is a very mature attitude and one that I fully support.

However, if you read some of the earlier posts, they are suggesting exactly what you are not.

In fact, from what the OP has written, he has only had one engineer visit that fixed the problem but it has reappeared.

There appears to be general lack of understanding of how sophisticated our telecomms service providers are terms of gathering, reporting and analysing faults in order to detect patterns and take remedial actions.

Telecomms is the most heavily regulated of any British industry or service sector and the service providers are required to report to the regulator Ofcom details of their service performance, faults etc. on a regular basis, with fines being imposed for unsatisfactory performance.

People thinking that service faults or complaints get brushed under the carpet if not highlighted to the CEO are showing a complete lack of understanding of the industry and how it operates.

We should be celebrating and supporting instead of criticising one of the few industries where we are still world leaders. Except of course hairdressing and coffee consumption.

Why not check your bills for the past few months online and all will be revealed about your charges - there is a full breakdown of usage and charges on each bill!

1 am not the slightest bit interested in how the industry operates. All I want is a decent service, like the ones that are advertised.
By the way you never did answer the question as to how costs increase because we may choose to contact the CEO?

To calm everyone down,this not the 1st time i have experienced a problem.
It has happened about 4/5 times over the 2 years.
Whenever the weather is wet i get problems. The 1st time i was advised to upgrade my router,the second time i was advised to upgrade to fibre which i did,each time costing more money.
The last engineer told me that the problem is with copper wire,so the upgrades have had no effect on the problem,so were pointless.
I have enquired about Virgin Media,but they are not operating in my area.
Last night i sent an e-mail ( begging letter ) to B.T. CEO. Awaiting response.

Anyone can, and has a right to write directly to the CEO. However, with a company the size of BT, the CEO will not have enough hours in the day to deal with all ceo complaints. They will be intercepted and dealt with by the relavant department.

The CEO will want to know about "complaint trends" in order to improve the service
