    @bt_uk .....what about the money that’s been taken from my account for no service?why do I have to wait until someone deals with my complaint that you’ve had for a month before I can get that money back?

  • bookshop_bear Bear Bookshop (@bookshop_bear) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Still having problems with @bt_uk and I do not have time to spend another hour on the phone talking about the same issues-can anyone help me on here?

  • dinojeram me@dinojeram.com (@dinojeram) reported

    @bt_uk are you serious, you are a communications company and there is no email address for a complaint! WTF

  • renfield73 Renfield73 (@renfield73) reported

    My BTInternet is set to go out of contract next month. If I renew with them, the price will go up by the CPI Inflation rate PLUS 3.9% each March. If the prices go up above inflation for the same service, why can't the workers delivering that service get a pay rise.... @bt_uk

  • clivekilworth clive (@clivekilworth) reported

    @bt_uk another day my business has to go with out Internet and a phone line this service is disgusting, our business phone and broadband was cut off 4 weeks ago and still nothing, it's costing our company money time and customers. Any other BT customers having the same problems

  • BetterMaths better maths (@BetterMaths) reported

    @bt_uk Why is no one answering your phone. We pay twice the amount for bt because we believe you’ll be there when we need you. Help!!

  • grant0s Grant McLean (@grant0s) reported

    @bt_uk I did that, a complaint was opened and has now been closed without any sort of contact with me. How do I take this further?

  • 1Xpubman Phil (@1Xpubman) reported

    Hey @btsport How long is unreasonable to be left on hold on phone line - currently 40 minutes & counting with no contact, Ridiculous levels of service.

  • EliteEmpress2 LadyValkyrie (@EliteEmpress2) reported

    @bt_uk Anyone please check the message I have sent as I cannot call or anything as no signal?!

  • RangerN8 Ranger N8 (@RangerN8) reported

    @bt_uk Done all this. Earliest is Tuesday. But as no one seems to understand. There’s not a problem at my house. There are three villages entirely without broadband. I’ve texted. Phoned and emailed. All with the same result. No one is listening.

  • swhittle Sally Whittle (@swhittle) reported

    Been with @bt_uk new "digital voice" VoIP service for a month or so now and it genuinely is 50/50 on any given day whether my phones work. Anyone know if I can just cancel the phone part of my contract altogether?

    @eentheadviser @bt_uk My #BTfibre keeps crashing too Flashing orange Problems in Birmingham because of #B2022 games?! 🤷

  • CSquires87 Colin Squires (@CSquires87) reported

    @bt_uk been waiting for you to answer the phone for over 30 minutes still no answer. Looking to sort out my broadband contract this is making me want to cancel it completely

  • SarahHar256 SarahH (@SarahHar256) reported

    @bt_uk It isn’t letting us report the problem or book an engineer. It’s taking diagnostic and then says diagnostic expired and sending us round in circles.

  • themanfrommull Ross Angus Williams (@themanfrommull) reported

    Rubbish service from @bt_uk and can not even answer now. Due to have our broadband start today but instead get a crap txt message to say its going to be 14 days before we get broadband🤬 #btuk #btrubbishservice #unhappycustomer

  • Steveapsey Steve Apsey (@Steveapsey) reported

    @bt_uk Bt Internet has been down literally all day for me. No fix time given - what's going on?

  • TheFrostyOne Joanna Smith (@TheFrostyOne) reported

    @bt_uk will there be any problems with broadband supplier switchover today due to the strike action?

  • RangerN8 Ranger N8 (@RangerN8) reported

    @bt_uk @halcyonsong It says no known issues in the area but I can assure you none of us are lying. We can’t wait until Wednesday for this to be resolved. We have people that work from home and also we have poor phone signal and rely on internet to contact people.

  • vinny_mcmanus Vinny McManus (@vinny_mcmanus) reported

    @JoeBrolly1993 People need to cancel their subscriptions until @btsport fix this and give their employees a raise so they won't need food banks to survive

  • titiangirl68 Karyn (@titiangirl68) reported

    @bt_uk BT customer pretty well all my adult life but your service since I lost my broadband connection has been dreadful. Exploring the possibility of switching supplier

  • onewishfortoday Make Each Day Count! (@onewishfortoday) reported

    @bt_uk Why is your 'email' service so slow?! Today, I timed how long it takes to load a single folder; 15 secs! It is by far the slowest service provided by any company, never mind a communications company?!
