Pete Oliver, Managing Director of Marketing BT said, “We’ve designed the ultimate converged plan to meet the needs of the modern family. Halo really is the best of BT – it offers unlimited, reliable 5G and fibre connectivity, and a host of other great features, including dedicated tech specialists who will come to customers’ homes, aimed at taking the stress away from our customers – and allowing them to spend more time on the things they love. A bonus for those of us who spend needless hours trying to get to grips with home tech issues and wrestling with the connectivity in our homes.”
The UK’s best customer service
BT’s new dedicated team of 900 Home Tech Experts can give customers a helpful hand to set everything up – perfect for the 7.3 million Brits who spend more than 70 hours (nearly 10 working days) annually trying to fix their home tech, allowing them to save time so they can get on with what matters the most to them.
Home Tech Experts offer friendly, expert support for customers at home - providing a stress-free set up for BT TV, broadband, home phone and mobile services, and help repairing any problems they may have. What’s more, Home Tech Experts will provide Halo customers with a free ‘Tech Health Check’ to make sure a customer is getting the best Wi-Fi connection in every room of their home
BT’s Home Tech Experts can be booked to come to a customer’s home, with 2-hour appointment slots, 7 days a week. They are trained on a wide range of issues, including helping vulnerable customers where access to technology is more important than ever.
Halo customers will also be supported by BT’s dedicated UK and Ireland customer service teams whenever they need to speak to someone on the phone. BT has accelerated its promise to answer all customer calls in the UK and Ireland, with 100% being answered in the UK and Ireland from January 2020, a year ahead of original schedule.
Halo - Ultra-reliable Superfast Broadband
As well as BT’s ultra-reliable superfast unlimited broadband, Halo customers can also make sure they’re getting the best connectivity in the home thanks to:
- BT’s latest Smart Hub – the award-winning Smart Hub 2 provides the UK’s most powerful Wi-Fi, now with extra Wi-Fi controls so customers can manage the family’s screen time
- The option to take out Complete Wi-Fi – the UK’s fastest Wi-Fi speed guarantee. Providing customers a fast, reliable Wi-Fi signal in every room of their home. This is particularly important as poor Wi-Fi signals topped the list as the most common home connectivity issue (43 per cent) with one in 10 Brits experiencing problems daily
- A new and improved Keep Connected Promise. With Halo, if a customer has a problem with their broadband or move home - a 4G Mini Hub will be sent out to them straight away to keep them online – all included in the package
Halo customers also benefit from no out of contract price rises – so their bill won’t go up when their contract ends. And they’ll never pay more than a new customer for their service.
Halo – More from your Mobile and Home Phone
With Halo, customers can take out BT’s new ‘No Limits’ plan giving them unlimited data and calls on their mobile and home phone – so they can use them as much as they like without worrying about running out of data or running up unexpected bills. They can also choose to add BT’s 5G plans – giving a faster, more reliable mobile connection – even in the most crowded places.
All BT mobile customers within a Halo household will benefit from a double data boost.
