2. Keep Connected Promise: Customers of BT Halo 3 can contact BT if they are experiencing any broadband issues or if they are moving and require a temporary broadband connection. To assist consumers in maintaining connectivity, BT will then offer a 4G Mini Hub (on the EE mobile network).

When BT Mobile customers report a problem with their broadband, BT will enable unlimited data until the issue is fixed.

1. Hybrid Connect: When something goes wrong, it functions in conjunction with the Smart Hub 2 to instantly link a home's internet connection to the EE mobile network. The connection will switch back to BT once the issue is fixed. This automatic backup uses a mobile network with excellent 4G coverage, and BT refers to it as an "unbreakable home connection" because of its reliability.
2. Unlimited wifi: BT Halo 3+ includes Complete wifi as standard equipment.

The following are provided by BT full wifi:

• Smart Hub
• A wifi disc to improve home coverage with up to two additional discs without cost.

It was introduced in November 2018 along with the Complete wifi assurance and functions in concert with that service, specifically the boosting discs that go along with it.
2. Full fibre promise: BT promises to upgrade subscribers of BT Halo 3+ to full Fibre when it becomes available in their region. Customers who don't already have access to ultrafast internet through the Openreach Fibre to the premises (FTTP) network should expect a big speed increase from this guarantee as their home will be linked to Full Fibre 100 as soon as possible.

BT full fibre installation setup

First step: Before installation

When placing yourorder, select a date and an engineer appointment time; BT will inform you of the options when you call. You may view the available times on My BT's appointment booking page if you're making your purchase online.

Your BT Smart Hub is required for BT to finish the installation. Please make sure to pick it up before the engineer shows up if you do miss its delivery.

If you already own a BT Smart Hub 2, a welcome package with an Ethernet cable and booklet will be sent to you. Kindly deliver these to the engineer when they come,

Second step: Installation

BT will phone you just before the scheduled appointment to let you know they are on the way. They will disconnect your old service at the street cabinet and attach your new one before coming to the house. Since Full Fibre employs FTTP technology, the fibre optic connection goes right to your home.

To have the finest wifi performance and speed, BT will then decide with you how to set up your new service. This decision could entail installing new cables or removing outdated extension wiring and powerline.

BT will upgrade the master phone socket (the white box on the wall) as part of the Full Fibre installation. BT will also install an Openreach modem (ONT) connected to the fibre optic cable that enters your home. The ONT connects to your BT Smart Hub and enables you to access the BT fibre broadband and phone services.

Third step: After installation

Once everything is configured, BT will perform a speed test and show that your Fibre service is operational. Additionally, they'll check that any previously linked devices are still functional.

They will ensure that anything new you have ordered from BT, such as a BT TV box, also functions. They'll also demonstrate how to connect two more devices and access the wifi password.
