  • BrimmellDen Den Brimmell 🇺🇦💙 The NHS (@BrimmellDen) reported

    @bt_uk As I’ve said previously: 1/mobile signal is terrible in my street. 2/not everyone has a mobile,some have a landline instead. 3/no company will give out “personal information” over the internet to 3rd parties,so that’s hopeless,as I’m finding out! Problem was reported 10 days ago.

  • daveazzopardi Dave (@daveazzopardi) reported

    @bt_uk Phone line really poor and connection keeps dropping

  • denizyaran Serge Denizyaran (@denizyaran) reported

    @bt_uk We’re good BT, thanks. 5 years running still no outage in our estate 👍

  • iestynx Iestyn Lloyd (@iestynx) reported from Caernarfon, Wales

    @bt_uk Any news on WiFi 6 support?

  • ShireBeds Shire Beds (@ShireBeds) reported

    @btbusinesscare We need BT Local Business to sort out the outstanding issues as soon as possible - it had been on going for far too long @btlocalbusiness #btlocalbusiness

  • carlrog58855934 CRLFC.. (@carlrog58855934) reported

    @PS_YNWA This is the reason woman shouldn’t talk about mens football she’s talking crap who the hell is she anyway sort it out @btsport or ppl will stop watching just like when Martin Tyler commentates

  • MarkBenney1 Mark Benney (@MarkBenney1) reported

    @btsport real problems loading on Firestick - slow yesterday, took 28 minutes today. What’s going on #btsports and #amazonhelp?

  • naz18 Naz (@naz18) reported

    Everyone beware @bt_uk does not care about its customers. My elderly parents have not had landline access for the last 14 days and not once have they provided a solution on how my parents can have their landline back. They provide the same old dribble saying it’s with a team.

  • plod1956 Keith Farrow (@plod1956) reported

    @sacosw @paullewismoney @bt_uk One answer to lack of mobile coverage at your home is to use a network that has Wi-Fi calling. Not going to solve all problems, but will help a lot.

  • tafkawac Tafka Wac. (@tafkawac) reported

    @bt_uk this is the kind of thing that doesn't inspire any customer loyalty. CPI + 3.9% You realise by doing CPI +3.9% you're driving up the rate of CPI. Why couldn't you just say 5.5% + 3.9% and be honest that you're putting the bill nearly 10%? #

  • ShireBeds Shire Beds (@ShireBeds) reported

    @btbusinesscare The short term issue is now resolved but our long term issue remains - we look forward to having this resolved by yourselves

  • TheGingerGuy22 The Ginger Guy (@TheGingerGuy22) reported

    @bt_uk I'm trying to track a fault and to my understanding 2 are on my account, 1 stating slow connection (not correct as there is no connection) 2 no land line calls available ( I don't have a landline phone) I'm now on day 4 without connection to broadband services

  • barryfrombarrow Barry Cullen (@barryfrombarrow) reported

    @bt_uk How can you connect hybrid connect ahead of broadband service being switched on in new property, thanks

  • EmilyBurbidge3 Emily Burbidge (@EmilyBurbidge3) reported

    @bt_uk I have been waiting since the 19th February for a complaint to be resolved. I have been told by 3 different people it is sat with a manager to call me back. I have received no correspondence from you. Please can I have the email of your CEO so I can complain.

  • EdCStevenson Ed (@EdCStevenson) reported

    Is @bt_uk having an outage? Struggling for connection at home.

  • jayesstoo JayEss2 (@jayesstoo) reported

    @sacosw @paullewismoney @bt_uk Ditto although since changing from BT mobile to Vodafone, I now get a signal! Although could be a problem when upgrade to 5G as I can't afford a new compatible mobile handset. And have to pay surcharge on broadband for being in a non urban area so limited choice & higher price.

  • n4ssie live slug reaction (@n4ssie) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I was thinking of getting the Full Fibre 150 deal, but I am intending to move addresses by summer. Is that an issue?

  • SensableSteven Steven (@SensableSteven) reported

    @Jancey07 @bt_uk That's the problem with bt, you tend to talk to their staff far too often.

  • travelingdanzie Danzie (@travelingdanzie) reported

    @bt_uk It was down from 930ish to 430.

  • TheGingerGuy22 The Ginger Guy (@TheGingerGuy22) reported

    @bt_uk I have also had 2 dates given to me 1 is today the issue will be sorted or by 14th so which one is it, and will the lack of service be relevant to what I'm due to pay in the coming weeks for a rising service charge I currently can't use.

  • _whatlizloves Liz 🌎 (@_whatlizloves) reported

    @bt_uk @AppleSupport my MacBook Air 2017 is unable to connect to my wifi no matter what I do. I’m literally sat next to the router and the wifi won’t connect and neither will personal hotspot. Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

  • bella_caridade Bella Caridade-Ferreira (@bella_caridade) reported

    @bt_uk Gosh, are you saying that your systems are so bad you can't search for a surname? That's dreadful system design right there.

  • rogerlodgerley Sir Roger de Lodgerley (@rogerlodgerley) reported

    @bt_uk choking Broadband Speeds again. Looks like I'm going to be offered a faster service soon for the additional cost of only £??.??

  • _RyBrown Ryan Brown (@_RyBrown) reported

    @daveazzopardi @bt_uk Had the same all week, upgraded to FTTP with 900 down and I've had nothing but trouble with it

  • Lhasadreams Adrian Daniels (@Lhasadreams) reported

    @bt_uk may I congratulate you on how you are treating customers that are mid-contract around the price rises.Thanks for sending me a letter to point out that you have me trapped with a financial penalty to leave. I will of course let it run and then leave. No customer care at all

  • BrimmellDen Den Brimmell 🇺🇦💙 The NHS (@BrimmellDen) reported

    @bt_uk Now,this may be a stupid question but how are they supposed to contact their providers directly when their LANDLINES &/OR INTERNET ARE DOWN & HAVE BEEN FOR 10 DAYS?!!

  • thomkelly_ Thom Kelly (@thomkelly_) reported

    @elonmusk @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp another 48 starlink into orbit! Wow you cannot get a overhead cable repaired on day 15 of 28 with no service! 👎👎👎

  • BrimmellDen Den Brimmell 🇺🇦💙 The NHS (@BrimmellDen) reported

    @bt_uk As I’ve said previously, it’s not me that has problem,it’s my mom & neighbours but they can’t complain because their phones &/or internet are down! Some are with you,my mom is with @Plusnet. I live in same street but my (& others) phone & internet is fine (coz we’re fibre?) 😤

  • BT_helpline_ BT (@BT_helpline_) reported

    @princeclegg @bt_uk I’ll be honest Simon, there’s not a lot we can do at this time nobody can come into work to help because they can’t afford the fuel and the wages here are awful. Hope you find the solution yourself. From Mike oxlong at bt

    @bt_uk Second time the engineer has not turned up! Absolutely disgusting service!!
