Mert (@mertisbrilliant) reported@bt_uk Around 9am this morning my fttp connection went down (amber light on the hub) and has not yet come back up. I'm based in Aberdeen. Is this a known issue and do you have an ETA for restoration of service?
-
Mags (@mags_cav) reported@bt_uk engineers damaged lights in my garden. After contacting your claims people,and chasing 3 times, I’ve been told keoghs are ‘not entertaining’ my claim! The had NO BUSINESS being in my garden! Damage caused but it’s not your fault? Dismissive and condescending reply.
-
Simon Blake (@BlakeUnit) reported@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
-
Markie_mark (@markie_sumark) reportedTerrible experience again from BT Business. Without Landline now for 5 days and counting. Can’t receive calls from customers or make calls. Why is it so difficult? @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness
-
Kyron Hodgetts (@poutingpou) reported@bt_uk thanks for the great service. Almost two months on, still no fibre connection and now you have cancelled my contract right in the middle of our daughter's GCSE exams revision. Well done everybody. Come on #BT get cracking
-
nicolas mcmillan (@herbie963) reported@bt_uk People only resort to X when traditional methods of communication show themselves to be totally inadequate. All routes appear to lead to international call centers who do not understand the issues at hand.
-
Axel F 🤠 (@BoabSideshow) reported@bt_uk I have tried to download the latest update but for some strange reason it doesn't work on my phone??
-
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
-
alunvaughan (@alunvaughan) reported@bt_uk What's happening with your site please? First webmail, now whole site down which is no good when other sites send 2FA emails you can't get to :/
-
Dave R (@daveRessex) reported@bt_uk I see other people are having problems logging into BT email. The status is "We’ll be right back. Sorry, but we’re doing some maintenance on the site at the moment. It should be back...in a short while." How can you be doing "maintenance" in the middle of a working day?
-
Aaron Law (@AaronLaw92) reported@bt_uk It's never worked since signing up, I was told my account was being deleted so it could be recreated
-
Anne Optimi-City (@AnneMurawski) reported@btbusinesscare I need to pay our bill. Can't log in. You have added a new security requirement. A passcode. When I enter it I get an error message "Bad Request - your browser sent a request that this server could not understand" Tried chat - held on 30 minutes. 1/2
-
🐧 Me Might be Animal! 🐧 (@me_not_animal) reported@bt_uk Customer without a working phone line due to the upgrade to digital voice!
-
pete replica (@petereplica) reported@bt_uk 030726 Hello Peter, Since we haven't heard from you in 7 days, we've closed your complaint", BT are outrageous I've asked you twice in the last 2 days. I get no response. I want my phone number back, and min 700mbs as, promised.
-
Janey Sinnett (@JaneyJaney77) reported@bt_uk what is going on with btinternet? I can’t access my emails, currently in a lengthy queue for online help
-
Andy250 (@Ministryofmess) reported@bt_uk As well as the complaint, I've phoned twice this morning and got told the queue is over 15 minutes. Useless.
-
MikeyyBarbatoo. (@MikeyBarbatoo94) reported@SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk after having an engineer booked in & then speaking to your colleague on the phone they then pushed my appointment back to later date!!! Even though I told them to leave the date booked, please let me know how I can cancel broadband and I’ll use someone else.
-
Kate (@ManiacSpaniel) reported@bt_uk hi my btinternet address has stopped working. I can’t get into it. It told me to call 0800800150 but I don’t have a BT number so I can’t get through the menus. How can I fix this?
-
Kevin Fowler (@KevinF1311) reportedSo 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
-
Chris Pugh (@chpugh1) reported@bt_uk please note I can not access my emails. Is there a technical issue with BT
-
Bilal Ahmed (@Bilalahmadjj) reported@bt_uk Took Vikram 1 hour on a Web Chat for disconnection ..... Web Chat is supposed to work quicker.... Very poor service! I am very happy to leave BT Broadband.. I first ordered disconnection on 29th May but BT has no record of it. Anyway .. I am still not done yet the dude is still doing something in the background.. 1 hour!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯Still no confirmation.. @BTGroup
-
Bunker Show (@businessbunker) reported@bt_uk Wasted weeks of my time on this , you have failed to fix it . Told me you were sending an engineer , never arrived . You told me it was my equipment but all my stuff is BT . The digital phone line never worked either
-
Vijay Nathwani (@vijaynathwani) reported@bt_uk you cut customer services , phones Broadband and no one can advise after 4 days what services will be reinstated. After 30+ years of loyalty your staff advise us to leave as they cannot be bothered to take the pressure and answer questions on shocking service @bt_uk .
-
𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 (@SultryNephalem) reported@bt_uk I wouldn't be leaving if you had sorted my tech issues over the last 2 years. I find it very coincidental that I am switching and I have my problems turned up to 11! And my cancellation fee is MORE than I was quoted the day I was looking at leaving!
-
Steve George (@Baggieboy1888) reported@bt_uk paying refunds with a cheque. In 2026. Obviously their hope / expectation is that with ever fewer bank branches the recipient will deem it too much of a hassle to pay it in. Even for those that do they are earning interest until the cheque is cleared. Poor show.
-
Berni (@BikerBerni) reported@bt_uk I have spent days trying to get email to work, My BT is not working, now I am told they have major ongoing problems! What have they done to tell their customers what is happening, nothing, yet they can still text to say the bill has been raised
-
alex (@Alex_CK2) reported@BT_UK My parents been without WiFi for 3 days. They were told it was billing issue despite paying and having proof. Today my mum was passed between 5 people, blaming either billing or a copper wire switch. No fix, no warning, despite paying hundreds each month. Awful service.
-
💫Adam👀 (@The_Change_666) reported@bt_uk Internet seems to be back on now, this is the 4th outage in 2 weeks! Something is going on!
-
Leo Goile (@AussieBunyip) reported@bradbutterworth @bt_uk @BTGroup Ahh somethings never change.
-
Ramnish Kalsi (@ramnishkalsi) reported@bt_uk Sorry, but this is becoming a part time job. I took out EE contract to watch some Tele not to spend my days troubleshooting poor quality hardware. I have 2 other set top boxes of better quality without contract and this is the only one with contract but of poor quality.
