  • BatesonNicholas Nicholas Bateson (@BatesonNicholas) reported

    @bt_uk Just had engineer round to "solve" our lack of broadband & still no broadband. BT were extremely rude. Next appointment next Sunday so 7 days we losing money. So I'm going to make a claim in county court against them for loss of income. The worst service on the planet

  • Mark__Eadie Mark (@Mark__Eadie) reported

    Completely let down by @bt_uk’s chosen aerial contractor, TSG. Utter utter utter waste of space. Why am I not surprised that this utter shower of crap has an utter shower of crap contractor taking money for doing bugger all. WTF is wrong with corporate Britain today?

  • atlanta25 Jim Holland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦💙😷#FBPE #FBPPR (@atlanta25) reported

    @bt_uk Yet another of your deadlines come and gone. It’s 2 months and 6 days since FTTP was installed and it’s still not working. This must be a new record for appalling service.

  • jagreen4u Jason Green (@jagreen4u) reported

    @BTCare Why is my internet SO slow\ offline this morning, over 1300ms response to any site LAN or wifi. Engineer booked through troubleshooting but now I sit and wait until Wednesday?! Refund please!

  • IanTaylorAlmond Ian Taylor (@IanTaylorAlmond) reported

    @bt_uk No, pathetic service. Still waiting for a manager to ring me.

  • CoadstaF1 CoadstaF1 💙💛🇺🇦 (@CoadstaF1) reported

    @bt_uk Do you not think I've done this already? SO many times! I give up! Emailing the CEO next as your customer service is diabolical.

  • Ellshakes Ella (@Ellshakes) reported

    @bt_uk (2/2) but we also specifically said that we wanted to keep the landline. And again, when purchasing the package we were told this would be ok, and as it was already a BT landline this wouldn’t be a problem

  • Ellshakes Ella (@Ellshakes) reported

    @bt_uk We raised a complaint via online chat and we passed to a manager called Arnab to escalate the complaint. However he just closed the conversation on us. I would be grateful if someone could call us. Thanks

  • thisdonnyman ThisDonnyMan (@thisdonnyman) reported

    I'm sure @muhammadmokaev wasn't on the bt sport ufc fight cover with all the brits.. Wtf?? Brits taking over? @muhammadmokaev is literally the only guy in Britain winning the next ufc title @btsport

  • Ellshakes Ella (@Ellshakes) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I have had a terrible experience with my Nan today with your customer service chat. Please can you help?

  • BadgerOfSteel Badger Of Steel (@BadgerOfSteel) reported

    @mrjakehumphrey Well you and @btsport were terrible in your Liverpool champion's league coverage. You white washed the lot Jake! You went from my favourite sports/tv presenter to a joke of a presenter more akin to Paul Joseph Goebbels.

  • LizPegrum Liz Pegrum (@LizPegrum) reported

    @btbusinesscare Hi BT business, how come you have lost our order details, we now only have a limited service and your hopeless helpline says you can’t do anything until 29 July? What are we supposed to do? No support available at weekends and some of us have to work at weekends

  • zylononthebag ZylonGGs (@zylononthebag) reported

    @bt_uk worst broadband

  • Janetburrows11 Jan burrows🇺🇦 (@Janetburrows11) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Nope An engineer came and said their the problem is in the area , so we have no internet , no tele, and I work from home Not happy

  • Sunflower26 AF Writing (@Sunflower26) reported

    @bt_uk Oh. And the app is now not working for essential maintenance... 😬

  • License2vril Tony Almeda (@License2vril) reported

    @bt_uk I just keep getting the yellow message saying there are no accounts with this login.

  • sirsabs Abs (@sirsabs) reported

    It has to be said I am becoming ever so increasingly frustrated with @virginmedia customer service. Do not understand what the customer wants despite being on a call 30+ minutes. Why can’t we have call agents based in U.K.? Profits over service @btsport

  • Ziggy_Z4C Zac (@Ziggy_Z4C) reported

    @bt_uk Hello things have pretty much been the same, I turned the WiFi off the other day for about 20 minutes and it made no difference. I just frustrating as the one game I enjoy playing starts lagging every time I’m on it which it never used to

  • PEABEE36 Patricia Brown (@PEABEE36) reported

    @bt_uk It's a pity you haven't been busy solving our problem! We still can't receive calls on our landline despite numerous calls to you and an engineer visit!!

  • paul_jamo Paul James (@paul_jamo) reported

    After a few days of very poor service from @bt_uk we spoke to one of their tech guys, Steve in Sheffield. Three hours later an engineer arrived. We thanked Steve (and his cat), he was awesome. Maybe BT can learn something about customer service from Steve’s approach. #Notachatbot

  • CoadstaF1 CoadstaF1 💙💛🇺🇦 (@CoadstaF1) reported

    @bt_uk No good. Mine has been unstable since mid June! New filters, new socket, hub and cable. STILL intermittent at best and MIA at worse.

  • BatesonNicholas Nicholas Bateson (@BatesonNicholas) reported

    @bt_uk Still awaiting response from BT. If we ran this shoddy service we would have no customers but BT have a monopoly on the lines except for fast growing fibre companies. Hope they go bust

  • Vicky_F1Girl Vicky (@Vicky_F1Girl) reported

    @BTCare losing my patience! Had intermittent internet since Tuesday, more off than on. Tried contacting via text help no reply so called 3 times to speak to advisor for them to put me on hold for over ten min then to say they can see no fault ! There clearly is!

  • screenb303 Bonnie Newman (@screenb303) reported

    @bt_uk Broadband keeps dropping spoke 2 an advisor - was told I'm on the basic package so I won't get the speeds promised & said I would need to pay 4 an upgrade. I said the problem was no service - got passed to the Business team (wrong team). #badcustomerservice #buyersbeware

  • fatballs489 jamie (@fatballs489) reported

    @bt_uk your internet ******* sucks

  • TwistedTim76 Twisted Tim (@TwistedTim76) reported

    @bt_uk no im a renewing customer you have a fancy page telling me its gone down just over £1 which means for my fibre i pay 69.99 a month but new customers can have the exact same for £49.99, as you can appreciate im currently thinking im off to @EE full fibre 900m £50

  • WelliXL WelliXL (@WelliXL) reported

    @bt_uk so someone changed my account and told me my monthly payments would be the same however it's now doubled and my connection is still awful. Wired I get 50mb when it's supposed to be 1000Mbps

  • ThankMeLater999 The World Knows Your Name (@ThankMeLater999) reported

    This eyesore is still the same weeks after repirting it! @bt_uk WTF is going on? A job was ‘supposedly’ being done yesterday, did not happen, WHY? No excuses… #bt_uk #ignored #letdown
