  • GalanthusA Angel (@GalanthusA) reported

    @art_in_textiles @bt_uk I am with BT., I find best service is by phone. Have to queue for a while but its free! Always had really pleasant and helpful employees when I have contacted them including over changing my package end of last year

  • Xihha Maddy (@Xihha) reported

    @JustEatUK @lynseyhipgrave1 @btsport That's about how shocked I was when I found out that despite customer services confirming my order was not delivered you are refusing to send a replacement order or refund me so I can reorder

  • tomallenstevens Tom Allen-Stevens (@tomallenstevens) reported

    Having promised (and failed) to come & connect us last week, & allowed our broadband & phone line to be switched off as a result @bt_uk have failed to honour today's new app't time. TBH I was expecting poor service cos that's the industry standard, tho didn't think I'd be cut off

  • StuartCowper Stuart Cowper (@StuartCowper) reported

    Impressed with @EE support last night & text based line check with @bt_uk which saw an @OpenreachHelp engineer here first thing to fix a line issue. Less impressed the fault is a result of neighbours ignoring a cable marker, digging it out, and then cutting said cable!

  • _alicevsmith alice. (@_alicevsmith) reported

    @bt_uk having tried all your “helpful tips” to improve our connection and being told there isn’t a problem in our area despite numerous Openreach visits & engineers reporting rusty wiring I would be grateful if you could help! WFH with poor internet isn’t much fun!

  • marcusblackcat Marcus Black (@marcusblackcat) reported

    @bt_uk They offer you this as long as you pay an extra £10 a month, and, looking at the replies, it doesn’t work either! Why should you have to pay to get a signal in every room??? No thanks

  • JenDow Jennifer (@JenDow) reported

    @bt_uk we are a business premises still waiting on a visit today to fix our internet. Are they still coming?

  • westcountrybird Rachel (@westcountrybird) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk Your colleague Emmett has all the details, Sharon. I’m incredibly disheartened & disappointed with the service that we have received. The engineer is apparently stating that they came to the house at 0930. I can assure you they didn’t.

  • billacres2 Bill Acres (@billacres2) reported

    @ChrisWoodsSays @ProfEdSweeney @bt_uk I found the CEO approach fruitful too. Although physics could not be overcome. Infrastructure is still poor and service patchy. It’s holding back “Global Britain”!

  • Hotwire147 Justin Greatrix (@Hotwire147) reported

    @bt_uk Joined BT on the promise of receiving an xbox last year.... Never materialised... now paying more per month than any other provider... Locked in for a further year unless I pay over 200 quid to leave. Can't wait to leave but not paying that

  • Dadonraj Rajib uddin (@Dadonraj) reported

    @btbusinesscare can you get bt corporate to contact me, been trying to get response for over 3 week now trying to upgrade my internet. Spoke to your guys twice today been give wrong number and a email that does not exist. Internet at my site is 3mb download and 0.1 upload. Fix it

  • kevinhandley Kevin Handley (@kevinhandley) reported

    @bt_uk Can she give your engineers tips to fix a fault in under a week?

  • Charlot11800311 Charlotte (@Charlot11800311) reported

    @bt_uk not good customer service when your reporting a death and they asked to speak to the deceased. So many problems closing my grandads account. Not happy. Especially when we are trying to grieve.

  • EmmaG_94 Emma Goodchild (@EmmaG_94) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I wish to speak to someone about beginning a BT broadband contact. Please can you advise what the customer services number is please? Or I can send a DM to explain my query

  • fergusvantrump Gavin Hastings (@fergusvantrump) reported

    @gerigallacher @bt_uk In dennistoun, Sky Internet is down. Apparently a power fault in Bridgetown caused the issue. Trying to say it might not be fixed until Thursday.

  • ILoveAimeewa Matthew Langmead (@ILoveAimeewa) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there - are there any known faults on the network in my area - CM16? I have FTTP and my modem has all the correct lights but my router has just a constant orange light suggesting no connection.

  • LizArkwright Liz Arkwright (@LizArkwright) reported

    @btbusinesscare how many times do we have to report a problem with our broadband? We were promised this additional dongle would mean you would know about a problem but it still isn’t fixed wish we had never swapped

  • mhughes2k Michael Hughes (@mhughes2k) reported

    @bt_uk I know that it won’t fix it faster, i work in providing IT services so thanks for pointing that out, and wouldn’t normally be bothered but this is an ENTIRE segment of a city.

  • karencolborn1 karen colborn (@karencolborn1) reported

    @bt_uk serious problems in Northern Ireland my elderly father is still without phone or Internet after 4 days. NEED URGENT UPDATE WEBSITE USELESS

  • AnnabelleWood Annabelle Wood (@AnnabelleWood) reported

    @bt_uk hi BT, not sure who to contact about our BT baby monitor which is losing connection to the camera most times it is used at least once, requiring a reset on the camera itself. Is this a known issue and can I do anything to prevent it? Many thanks

  • karendeans1 Karen ❤️ (@karendeans1) reported

    @bt_uk can you explain this why this fault in the G31 area is gonna take a week to fix ? No Internet, no telephone and yet i still have to pay a bill ?

  • chuxiehills abooka (@chuxiehills) reported

    @bt_uk your broadband service has been out since last night in Glasgow Eastend. LOS LED light on the wall is red and wifi router light is solid amber. Yet your page shows no fault in the area. No fix till 25/02, how will one keep working and home schooling?

  • LWallace845 Lewis Wallace (@LWallace845) reported

    @bt_uk you are the worst company ever we've wasted our whole day waiting for your engineer to come and set up our broadband and now after calling twice you tell us our appointment has been moved to March even tho the email was CONFIRMED for today?

  • wayne23evans Wayne Evans (@wayne23evans) reported

  • Kimmlennon Kim Marie Lennon (@Kimmlennon) reported

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia Change to @bt_uk. Never any problems.

  • Hotwire147 Justin Greatrix (@Hotwire147) reported

    @bt_uk No, bt told me it was an error and wasn't entitled.... Trouble was it was after the 14 days cooling off. Came across as scam rather than an admin error
