    @bt_uk haha you are joking aren't you? The lines are only answered 8am-9pm Monday to Friday even though you complete migrations over the weekend now with what seems minimally trained staff and no support.

    @bt_uk MyBT is a mess. I’m stuck in a loop. When I log in it says I have to update the username to an email address. When I do so it says it’s already in use (it’s the one I use to log in?) end up in a never ending loop. Can’t pay the bill. What’s going on?

  • TomChap
    Tom Chapman 🐀 (@TomChap) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I have just signed in to the BT account and the last bill says (Final bill). Next to the BT account No it says (Inactive). I was in credit and this was sent to my bank account. So I'm guessing its ok to cancel.

    @bt_uk Hi is webmail down please? Unable to log in via browser or app for a few hours, keep getting “ something went wrong at our end”

    @bt_uk Utterly shambolic customer service at your hands. Trying to help a very elderly medically vulnerable customer whose land line and broadband have been cancelled. Hours and hours spent on the phone to no avail. Next stop complaint to the regulator and seeking media coverage.

    Stu (@stoopo) reported

    @bt_uk now got rid of the voicemail but the line crackle is bad. Cables look sound. It’s been like this four days she says.

    @EEBroadbandUK @Ofcom @bt_uk Cheers for the horrific broadband you supply to my parent’s home. Every time I come back here & try to watch a football match or the Formula 1 it fails. They keep getting engineers out but u never fix it, yet you keep charging them a fortune tune?

  • AlanReeve2
    Alan Reeve (@AlanReeve2) reported

    @bt_uk can you help, my emails have stopped working since arriving in Nevada. Everything is set up correctly and I've tried numerous things to fix it, can't even log in via webpage

  • Robswanney
    Robbie Swanson (@Robswanney) reported

    @btbusinesscare I need someone to get in touch please. Really not happy with the customer service we have received. Our broadband has been off now for over 2 weeks. You have closed the fault off as complete, when nobody attended despite you promising to come to the premises.

    @bt_uk Hi. How do I cancel my TNT sports addon? Can't find the option anywhere. Please don't tell me I have to phone...

  • booker213
    read steel ball run (@booker213) reported

    @bt_uk That number was unhelpful and still required a login, so wouldn't let me proceed. I just need to find out if there is an already reported error in my area or if it needs to be reported. That should be public information.

  • JonD_Chadwick

    @bt_uk Still nothing. Asked for a manager to call back to see if they could help Still waiting

    @bt_uk Is there a widespread issue with BT email access today? Unable to login and I need to access my emails.

  • KernowChris
    Christopher Rowe (@KernowChris) reported

    @bt_uk When do you anticipate BT TV will be back working properly? YT and NOW Apps working on the box, EPG not populating and content unavailable. I presume this is connected with the wider issues reported today.

  • messalinahooper
    grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported

    @bt_uk 2 weeks in with just 2 nights tv. Using HELP every night. Your help desk said its my TV. Nonsense

    JARVIS (@grantjarvis666) reported

    @bt_uk I have had possibly the worst internet from you over the past 4 years! I pay for 950mb and barely get 130mbps on a good day. Fobbed off every time I speak to customer service. Never again

  • The_Change_666

    @bt_uk Internet seems to be back on now, this is the 4th outage in 2 weeks! Something is going on!

  • GalanthusA
    Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported

    @scubashark45 @bt_uk Unless you are happy to be without access to emails for hours (like today) I wouldn't recommend the switch. BT used to be good and worth paying extra for but not now. Been trouble since their EE merger and the fibre roll out.

    @HooverMouse @bt_uk I spent nearly 2 hours on the 'phone being passed,after a long wait, to one person after another, only to be told there was no problem! Been going on for days.

    @bt_uk When is #MYBT going to be working again please? It has been down for days!

  • KevinF1311
    Kevin Fowler (@KevinF1311) reported

    So I’ve had a BT landline since 1986 and broadband since 2002, but my renewal cost for broadband 900 Mb was £78.99 but after conversation £60.99, although a new customer can get it for £38.99. Ever felt like you are being ripped off.Awful customer service @bt_uk

  • Annief54
    Anne Fowlds (@Annief54) reported

    @bt_uk want to make a complaint about EE. I am 72 technology I can’t handle. All I wanted to do was speak to a customer service they didn’t want to know. Sky at least treated me as a human, I was so upset, gave bad feedback they didn’t care

    @bt_uk any idea when normal service will resume on the mobile EE/BT network in Mundesley Norfolk? the service has been down for over two days

    @jonboy_103 @bt_uk I can't log in either - The log in page says 'We've launched something new - made some changes etc' - Unwise to do during office hours on a weekday, so there must be a problem in which case @BT_UK should just be honest and post on their X feed with an eta for a fix - v.poor
