FAQ

Do you deliver routers and equipment to my address?
BT ships routers and set‑top boxes to UK addresses; delivery times vary by plan and stock. Full‑fibre installs may include an engineer visit for activation. Digital services are activated online once hardware arrives or the engineer completes work.
Can I cancel or return my order?
Consumers have a cooling‑off period (usually 14 days) to cancel a broadband contract or return equipment, subject to terms. Returns must follow BT’s instructions; early termination charges may apply if you leave before your contract ends.
Are there discounts or introductory offers?
Yes—BT regularly offers promotional pricing, introductory months and bundle discounts for new customers. Offers and eligibility change frequently, so check BT’s website for current deals and any required code or sign‑up conditions.
