-
Faye Carter (@FayeLcarter) reported@bt_uk I've since been booted off the chat, had a text to say a complaint has been raised but no details of what or how, then had another text to say if I don't reply then the complaint will be closed. How do you reply? Every link sends you back to where you started with the messaging
-
Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported@bt_uk @M300bt3 i’ve had multiple calls and they just say we are trying to fix it - they don’t care - it’s breach of contract surely and they need to compensate us
-
Chris Wall 💙🧡 (@ChrisWall85) reported@bt_uk hi, I need a bit of help! I'm moving in July so need to cancel my service. I can't log in to My BT to do this, could I get some assistance with this please?
-
jpb0332 (@jb0332) reportedI have ongoing issue with BT & internet connectivity outside UK! Using WiFi I cannot connect to get mail on phone, iPad & computer! WiFi will not connect to Btinternet server! I spent hours resetting everything, next day it’s same problem! Gmail is ok @BTGroup @bt_uk
-
Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reportedi’m trying and failing to report a broadband problem to @bt_uk - online is an endless loop to linecheck (fault found), chat message won’t open, phone sends to txt not a person, txt is a very long wait on a charged-for line. How does anyone ever contact BT?
-
David Sinfield (@omotforest) reportedDear @bt_uk You do not have my consent to install anything on my property. If it is free, it cannot be for my benefit. It's for yours. If it's cheaper for you, you can give me a share of your savings. I had no choice over the digital voice downgrade. @openreach will have to trespass to install it. If it is a condition of receiving service, say so and I will seek alternatives. (@Starlink or 5g) Is it on the T&C's? A letter is on its way to your registered address. David Sinfield.

Emma (@88ejackson88) reported@bt_uk So the text bot didnt help, I cannot access the Web page, and I cannot use my landlines to call as its also currently out of use.
-
David Sinfield (@omotforest) reported@WasSamLowryEsq @bt_uk @openreach The French call it demerdisation. Removing the ****. It's how I flew under the radar when I lived in France in an unapproved residence. Basically you keep the local mayor on side* and don't let anything escalate to the departement. *May involve 5L of wine a couple of times a year.
-
Ann Palmer (@AnniePShoreham) reported@bt_uk No I won’t do that. I have spent far too many hours of my life at various times over the last year trying to get this sorted. Please pass this to the complaints team - the agent I spoke to on 5/3 promised to sort it. Another epic fail.
-
Ste (@stepho2k1) reported@bt_uk why is your sales team pushing an elderly person with parkinsons to sign up for a new service. I will be calling tonight to sort this. Not happy
-
Grub Street Publishing (@grub_street) reported@bt_uk And by the way you're obviously using a bot to reply. So obvious by the language. What real person says You must feel let down for sure
-
J (@JLingy69) reported@bt_uk Already did that and nothing got done. Give me your formal complaint process
-
Jon Chadwick (@JonD_Chadwick) reported@bt_uk yes, I did that twice already today. I have spoken to 4 different people Problem is getting worse.
-
Gary Banks (@Banksie_FB5) reported@bt_uk I was told, on Sun, that it was planned 2b here Mon. Then told Mon it was planned 2b here Tues. Now told tomorrow. If the engineer had tested his work before he left I may not have been in this position! Now I’ve had to cancel a job of work “in case” this persists! #unacceptable
-
Jessica (@Jessica67669786) reported@ArmchairAdml @bt_uk this elderly gentleman has been a loyal customer for many years. He is now out of contract paying an extortionate price. Surely you can assist him in obtaining a reasonable priced package for his needs, and perhaps issue a refund for out of contract price hike?
-
John Richards (@Johnty14) reported@bt_uk Please send me the details of how to make a formal complaint and the information to which ombudsman should be also informed.
-
francois clerc (@clercdesign) reported@bt_uk is so bad I can't even test the speed. Fibre!
-
Darren Mumby (@mumby83) reported@bt_uk what on earth is going on with account. I can’t sign in anywhere
-
DebP (@dyson123) reported@GrahamH36921247 @John210750 @bt_uk I was switched to EE from BT(no choice given) &they've been fine.However,new prices look awful and as at end of contract considering a switch. A locally based firm is doing fullfibre for very good price but problem is think it would involve digging up garden. Nightmare isn't it?
-
Brian McLachlan (@Brian_McLachlan) reported@bt_uk I called the number and it said service restricted as bill needed paid. It’s been paid.
-
Ann Beck (@ann_beck) reported@BTCare been told there is no possible resolution to a system error in YOUR company so I either pay nearly double what you quoted or leave. CEO must be proud. Customer care at its worst #donotbuy #Complaints #BTscams
-
Jon Chadwick (@JonD_Chadwick) reported@bt_uk Thanks, but there has to be someone in BT who can fix an email problem? It might not be you, but there has to be someone?
-
DemonicSuccubus (@MissSatanism) reported@bt_uk We’ve done this. But they don’t help. You guys give no help whatsoever. You are genuinely useless. How can you not provide an update based on postcode?
-
Sian (@SianElin_PT73) reported@bt_uk Did you read my message correctly? I do not have signal to call!
-
Dan Reardon (@DanReardon76) reportedDear @bt_uk we moved to an address you don't supply to in Jan. You said cancellation would be automatic but are still chasing me for payment. Your CS team are simply unable to comprehend and my complaint was closed without investigation. Come on eh?
-
Sam Harcourt (@samharcourt) reported@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?
-
jpb0332 (@jb0332) reportedBT / Open Reach Worst service ever! Internet service 3rd world Service appalling!! Make appointments to upgrade to full fibre & cancel without any reason or notification! No service at all!! Is there an alternative?? @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach
-
Gizmo (@Gizmo83508413) reported@bt_uk Done that already. I might be going mad here. It's your sodding website. It shouldn't be down to me to chase a fix ETA on a fundamental problem you have. This should be information on the website and with you, surely?
-
joanne turner (@joanneturner76) reported@bt_uk a lot of bad experiences recently dealing with your teams. Your online moving home system doesn’t work, your team don’t know how to do it either! Very disappointing!
-
@sharpy74 (@sharpy741) reported@martinintune @bt_uk Do you have any local alternative? I’m baffled why people pay BT for poor service at inflated prices. There are so many new Fibre providers now offering a better service at much lower prices. The days of BT’s monopoly and ridiculous Line Rental charges are thankfully, over.
