  • jamesmorrowhes James-Morrow Entertainment Systems (@jamesmorrowhes) reported

    @btbusinesscare you have cancelled the internet service , despite communications last week to extend it. No one has called as promised to work through the situation. Awful service. Please help!

  • Paul_Owen_CRM Paul Owen (@Paul_Owen_CRM) reported

    @btbusinesscare @BTBusinessCare Absolutely unacceptable service. I’ve been offline since Thursday despite being promised reconnection within 4 hours. As a long-standing BT Business customer, this level of disruption and broken promises is beyond disappointing. #BTBusiness #CustomerService

  • craigcampbell03 Craig Campbell (@craigcampbell03) reported

  • Rosiecat2 Angry Bird Flies 💙 (@Rosiecat2) reported

    @btbusinesscare Hi we had a new contract broadband fitted yesterday. Today our digital phone has stopped working. Can you give me a contact number to get this fixed please. Trying to get help via website is hopeless !

  • BullatBrantham The Bull (@BullatBrantham) reported

    Absolutely shocking service from @bt_uk @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare over 30 minutes online as you can't talk to a person to discuss why they have taken £750 for no reason from our account 😡

  • phillyonskem The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported

    @BTCare is there an issue with bt email at the moment. App says try again later. Web page doesn't load..

  • ceejaygraham CeeJayGee Photo (@ceejaygraham) reported

    @bt_uk @BTCare there are serious circular links on the website. Trying to begin a "moving home" order+retain my BT acc but can't get passed repeatedly confirming my new address. The visual link process doesn't work. I'm waiting nearly 40min to speak to someone. @virginmedia

  • sharonhrealceo1 Sharon Hammond (@sharonhrealceo1) reported

    BT @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare do you? Once again I have been seriously let down by you and it’s impacting my business. Has anyone had a positive experience with Bt lately?

  • GalanthusA Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported

    @phillyonskem @BTCare I agree it has been poor since teaming up with EE

  • KyleJamesRaven Kyle Raven (@KyleJamesRaven) reported

    @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare you should be ashamed of yourselves! A further compliant raised and I can bet my bottom dollar that nothing will be done! Shocking company who do not support their business customers!! The worst customer care and experience I have ever experienced !!!

  • Chrisinho175 Chrisinho (@Chrisinho175) reported

    @btbusinesscare hi there Iv got a standard hub in my place and had some WiFi switches fitted but won’t connected to the hub. The electrician thinks it’s because it’s dual GHz and the switches are only 2.4ghz, is there anyway to turn off the 5ghz to try? Or direct me who can help?

  • phillyonskem The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported

    @GalanthusA @BTCare @BTCare the app has been playing up for days saying "current session timed out". Never used to do that. Get it fixed! Paying good money and can't get at my emails. Service has gone appalling since you teamed up with ee.

  • phillyonskem The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported

    @GalanthusA @BTCare And @BTCare haven't even had the decency to reply. Appalling customer service. BT care?? Do they? Seems not. If it wasn't for the fact that I've had my email address for decades and it's everywhere I'd switch to another provider, but it would be so much hassle.

  • BrianDRobertson Brian (@BrianDRobertson) reported

    @BTCare Full fibre upgrade not happening today since BT claim order never reached Openreach even though I have visit references for the engineer coming this pm. Utter shambles. I had to be on a call for 20 mins to find this out. How hard can it be? 😡

  • craigcampbell03 Craig Campbell (@craigcampbell03) reported

Me: so ur shafting me for having my account for 10 years and im paying double what everyone else pays Bt : yes Me: ok nice way to treat existing clients ill move elsewhere. I appreciate the call to tell me im being screwed though

  • TheOldHammer The Old Hammer (@TheOldHammer) reported

    @btbusinesscare I did... The worst customer service I have ever encountered and you just confirmed it Beth. Anyone with a business, AVOID these guys

  • AllurinAssassin AllurinAssassin (@AllurinAssassin) reported

    @BTCare, your company is atrocious! I am so tired of dealing with idiotic, barely no english speaking customer service team and paying out so much money for a service that still can't run properly and takes you weeks if not months to fix!!!! Piss poor, and I will be switching!!

  • mkacary therecanbeonlyone (@mkacary) reported

    @BTCare 2 hours 10 minutes ago I started a chat to resolve a problem. I am still no closer to a resolution!!! This is hardly a good example of customer service now is it?

  • dsunandan Sunandan Datta (@dsunandan) reported

    @bt_uk @BTCare I have been a loyal customer of yours for about 2 years now but intend to change now. Having changed my address a year ago, i am now told that i had a new contract last year as soon as i moved in to the new address. This is unethical on so many different levels.

  • gibbons74509 we all see it coming (@gibbons74509) reported

    @btbusinesscare No ! It’s all automated crap I’ve been locked out of a business account and need to speak to someone so give me a number

  • NitrogenService NitrogenServices (@NitrogenService) reported

    @btbusinesscare good morning, we’ve had no office telephone since Friday cannot receive or make calls, I cannot log it online as the message on the 0800 number suggests, can anyone help? Thanks

  • dsunandan Sunandan Datta (@dsunandan) reported

    @bt_uk @BTCare What this means is that if we again move address in 12 months a new contract will start and basically we will be in this endless loop where we don’t have any autonomy to quit BT unless we pay a princely early termination fee. Would you be able to help please?

  • ISSACTHEOPHILOS Issac Theophilos (@ISSACTHEOPHILOS) reported

    @btbusinesscare I have been trying to restore internet and telephone services for the last 36 hours at a care home where we care for very vulnerable people. Hopeless so far!! No one has bothered to fix it yet.
