The field engineers were always brilliant individuals, but let down by the company which, in my experience, is the worst 'legit' company I've had to deal with in my now pretty long life.
One gave me his mobile no. so I could call him direct instead of waiting for official channels. I had over 100 faults in 20 years in old house, & no mobile network coverage back then, so it was a massive safety issue with nearest neighbour 500 yards away.
Not always BT's fault - line was down once because pheasant shooting party peppered it with shot! but it then took BT 6 weeks to have a cherry picker available ... probably because privatisation meant profits were going to shareholders rather than on equipment ... |
Whilst working for them I moved 2/3 times, getting the landline/BB changed over was always the most difficult part! Ended up doing it myself on 1 occasion.
Was a number of situations that I’m sure would blow most people’s minds actually, some of the cost saving ideas, equipment turned off with no idea what was working on it ‘I’m sure people will shout if a system goes down!’ And shout they did! |  |

If you can afford it I’d get one of these without hesitation:

I have this, and it works superbly. Our house has lots of thick brick walls so the signal propagation is appalling.
This system uses either WiFi or your power line (mains) network for communication between the nodes. You don’t need the Powerline option if you are only extending your main node a small amount.
As mentioned above BT will give you a few extenders free of charge, but I wasn’t impressed with ours, hence the tp link stuff we bought |
A problem i have with my tp link extender in the rear of the house is that i walk into it with my mobile still weakly clinging to the main wifi. It doesnt automatically switch and needs a manual one which defeats the point partly. |  |
