  • ALISONWILSON18 ALISON WILSON (@ALISONWILSON18) reported

    @georgiebingham I had problems for over 2 months a few years ago and found tweeting @BTCare helped a bit especially when I pointed out that was an oxymoron!!!

  • Becksh81 Becks (@Becksh81) reported

    @bt_uk @hayley_ds Sorry to jump on this, but I’m having the same problem. I had the same issue last time I was trying to renew. Could I ask you to look at mine too please @bt_uk?

  • davidwalsh86 David Walsh (@davidwalsh86) reported

  • KellieKnowles Kellie Knowles (@KellieKnowles) reported

    @bt_uk I have had intermittent/no broadband since October, fault reported on 21.10.20. Still not fixed. Two of your operators put the phone down on me this morningand cut me off when they said they were transferring me to customer services. Who can I discuss this issue with?

  • MabelMck Mabel McKeown (@MabelMck) reported

    @MaitlandBen @bt_uk oh man. Poor you. We've been through this..

  • onthisdaythefa thefootballarchives.com (@onthisdaythefa) reported

    41 days late I finally have Broadband again @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk have been poor from start to finish, engineer couldn't install 5 weeks ago because he wasn't trained, then same class of engineer came and installed with no issues #workshy #disconnected #41days

  • mwnciboi mwnciboi (@mwnciboi) reported

    @bt_uk I’m having problems with my Mac fee virus protection it keeps having a warning exclamation on it

  • MaitlandBen Ben Maitland (@MaitlandBen) reported

    So essentially @bt_uk telling us they can’t even start to fix the problem because THEY lost a form/muddled up our data. And we can’t expect an engineer for over a week after they were booked to visit our house. 5/

  • NUFCcan ThePremierLeagueIsCorrupt (@NUFCcan) reported

    Another day another morning wasted trying to deal with @bt_uk none existent customer services. They’ve cut my phone off so I can’t even call them to try & resolve this yet again 🙄

  • mcgjingsorbust mcgjingsorbust (@mcgjingsorbust) reported

    @bt_uk from the moment the lady from your help team in Enniskillen called me to that point the engineer called to confirm the fix your staff have been excellent. thank you

  • stvcmpbll Steve (@stvcmpbll) reported

    @bt_uk sorry if my question sounds a bit stupid; Comedy Central Extra should be on 308 for BT TV customers, but it's not there. I've retuned numerous times and still nothing.

  • aamalsi Malsi (@aamalsi) reported

    @bt_uk Hello, according to Sky my internet is down due to a BT outage?! When will this be fixed? I have online classes and meetings I need to access. Thanks

  • florislinscott Floris Linscott (@florislinscott) reported

    @bt_uk Big shame. Leaves a bad taste.

  • SazRhiD Saz/Sarah (@SazRhiD) reported

    @bt_uk hi, our broadband has been playing up since Sunday. Connection regularly dropping out and hub seemingly restarting itself. Tried all recommended solutions to try and fix but nothing working. Very irritating when we are WFH and reliant on internet connection

  • jasonc19833 jason (@jasonc19833) reported

    @btsportufc @btsport Looks like il be illegal streaming again then, and **** all you can do about it

  • Xennia79 Renna (@Xennia79) reported

    @bt_uk This number called me telling me my BT router speed is slow & he can fix it for me 01132284425 #scam #scamaware I told him I wasn't interested & put the phone down. Pls add it to your list of scam phone calls. But, how do they have my number? I've not given it to anyone?

  • amyfritzle Amy Fritzle (@amyfritzle) reported

    @bt_uk Internet down in Perth (Bankfoot area), Scotland UK.

  • emelia_jane Emelia Jane (@emelia_jane) reported

    @bt_uk Probably a fault. The service has been inconsistent for about 6 months now.

  • RolandMooreTV Roland Moore (@RolandMooreTV) reported

    @bt_uk hello I need an engineer but your automated service keeps offering me the same 2 unsuitable appointments. How can I speak to a human and sort this out please?

  • 1933Eagles J Tank (@1933Eagles) reported

    Had a couple of calls recently with staff @bt_uk and got really good service. I always moan when I'm unhappy so it's only right that I praise good service also.

  • willmill82 pole vaulting taliped (@willmill82) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @MaitlandBen @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp Genuine question: Considering that BT own EE, could they not offer a 4G/5G router that connects via the mobile networks as a backup option for when the landline network goes down? I think that's what Vodafone offer on their broadband.
