    @bt_uk Service is apparently ok. Tech bot refreshed our connection so we’ll see if that sorts it.

  • copey1986 James (@copey1986) reported

    @bt_uk Hi bt, would just like to follow up... the issue I had, was with my bt TV box going into deep sleep... I swapped it 12>1am, and tested it again... and it kicked me off online gaming at 1am... so whenever my TV box goes into deep sleep, it cuts my Internet connection for a moment

  • luismelo78 Luis Melo (@luismelo78) reported

    I’m @bt_uk customer since 10 years Received an email from them saying: > contract ending 8 Mar > monthly fee will increase by 25% > prices will also go up 31 Mar > “Renew or upgrade with us!” Can any #CX practitioner (or anyone) find anything wrong with this communication?

  • CJW1986 💫Carla 💫 (@CJW1986) reported from Northwich, England

    @bt_uk (1/2) absolute discrase! My elderly grandparents have been left without a phone since last Friday due to a fault outside on the line. Was assured it was a priority and someone would be out on Monday to fix. Monday no one came. Then got told tuesday. Guess what....

  • Jonze1973 Nils Jones (@Jonze1973) reported

    @bt_uk Good morning,I upgraded my broadband in December and returned my old hub as instructed at the beginning of January, I am receiving emails and texts to say I have not returned this? I have retained my tracking receipt from the post office, any help much appreciated.

  • Mossy55018 Gary Moss (@Mossy55018) reported

    @bt_uk here to help... You are rude inflexible and have just lost a customer of 30 years. Beware of the digital voice phone line scam. Off to sky we go

  • katesco5 Katriona Scott (@katesco5) reported

    @cottam_anthony @bt_uk Wouldn't recommend BT to anyone at moment disgusting service and treatment

  • PES_DNA Shales (@PES_DNA) reported

    @DJ_Daymos @bt_uk I’ve got old BT equipment for the last 5-6 years. I would return things but the engineers never have the packing I need to return to items. It would be ideal if the engineers could take the old tech away with them.

  • nathromeu Nath 🎅🏻🍰🥂🐢💩🤬🇫🇮🦋🐺 (@nathromeu) reported

    Thanks to @bt_uk and their useless move service I’m now going to be without internet for a total of almost 3 weeks. I can’t work as the minihub connection they’ve provided as an interim can’t handle video calls. I’ve had to cancel 15 meetings and 3 presentations.

  • PaulGreenTPB Paul Green. (@PaulGreenTPB) reported

    @PennineHeather Yep and of course the #openreach engineer said it was a temporary fix but cleared the job with @bt_uk so they could move on to other jobs. Never to return

  • dean_east Dean East (@dean_east) reported

    @bt_uk Not very excited today, 2 days off,no broadband connection fault in my area, possibly going to take 33+ hrs to fix, wife working from home, thanks BT..😡

  • macmanlfc Ady Lynch (@macmanlfc) reported

    @ZAGKAG1811 @btsport This all started with the breakaway Premier League in 1992 when they stopped giving money to the EFL, wanted all the years money fir themselves so gave tv companies carte blanche to make us travel at stupid times on stupid days

  • ErtuMuslu Ertu Muslu (@ErtuMuslu) reported

    @bt_uk This is not a laptop it’s a desktop Mac and I do have normal speed half of the time so the problem can’t be with the wi-fi or my computer as the results are the same with other devices I have like laptop and iphone

  • ian_mael Ian (@ian_mael) reported

    The lack of response from @bt_uk is not a surprise. Called again today to get a resolution, placed on hold and then got cut off. Same story - different day. It would great if you can put some effort with your customers @bt_uk instead of trying to attract new customers!

  • barkatthemoon77 Liam Stephen (@barkatthemoon77) reported

    I have been in and out of hospital for months and during this time my BT bill hasn't been going put due to banking issues. Noticed today, got in youth with @bt_uk and they went above and beyond to help me with a payment plan and told me to watch my health first. 1/2

  • pikeyman1975 Stephen Thomas (@pikeyman1975) reported

    Some piss-poor commentary from the @btsport commentators on the #WIvENG match. They keep getting the scores and names wrong. Sounds like they’ve been on the Wray and Nephew’s all day long! 🙈 #Cricket

  • PaddyR1888 Paddy Rice (@PaddyR1888) reported

    @garland_conor You’d think he never played for us!! Hate Sky Sports commenting, @btsport pull your finger out and buy back the rights!!!!

  • Holarious Holly Liddard (@Holarious) reported

    @bt_uk hi. I have received a digital voice handset in the post but I dont appear to have the service set up. thanks

  • Georgebtn1 Geo H (@Georgebtn1) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for that link although it really looks useful for some who is a customer. I am just really interested to know whether a BT network survey would involve someone taking a photo of my property. I live in a ground floor flat.

  • temple_ginny Ginny Temple (@temple_ginny) reported

    @bt_uk Hi! How do we go about getting our number ex-directory? Is there any other way than phoning customer services? We're Plusnet customers. Thanks

  • gamingcurate 𝕁𝕒𝕪 🔥🍃🌊 (@gamingcurate) reported

    @bt_uk I’m leaving you. It’s not me, it’s you. My internet’s has crashed three times this stream…3 times. And this is not the first time. Go get help, be better.

  • TRW2002 Tom 🦖 (@TRW2002) reported

    No Clue what’s going on with my wifi at the moment - seems to be working normally (50mbs download), but whenever it go into a multiplayer game like overwatch or DBD, nothing seems to work (200 ping) @bt_uk only came out last week to fix an issue, so i don’t know what’s going on…

  • CJW1986 💫Carla 💫 (@CJW1986) reported from Northwich, England

  • lerchorinyo Darren Jenkins (@lerchorinyo) reported

    @bt_uk Also BT call protect doesn't work with mobile phones. I'm getting 2 or 3 every day. Imagine the amount of old people getting taken in by the scammers. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
