M.C. (@MCarvill180) reported@bt_uk absolutely ridiculous service. My extender wouldn't connect, customer service replaced it with another identical extender, wouldn't connect, customer service then said they were completely wrong extenders and they would send proper extender, guess what ..
-
Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported@bt_uk you’ve emailed me three times now over the past three months with a digital voice activation date, and each time it never happened. Your chat help times out after 20 minutes and your call centre doesn’t pick up. Do you have an email address or postal address so I can contact you?
-
erika x (@_erikacx) reported@bt_uk broadband has been down for last 20 mins, the online test isn’t working. Please advise
-
john conner (@johnconner05) reported@bt_uk I do call - every Monday, get told order failed they will re-issue told to wait 3-5 days . I then call on the Monday saying it didn't happen to be told the order failed . Etc etc . It's now June . Someone in Tech even suggested cancel account then re open after a week LOL
-
uılʞuɐɹℲ (@puddles46) reported@bt_uk I'm not phoning again. I've had two complaints open both closed with no contact. Genuinely what is the point of calling. You will log a complaint again and then ignore me again. Genuinely the worst company I've ever dealt with
-
Darren Smith (@Smicer999) reported@bt_uk Please can you supply an email address to document my experience with BT & Openreach that has to date: Cost me 8 hours of my time on the phone every day since June 3rd. I’ve had to take 2 days off work. I want to raise a data subject access & a complaint before I go OFCOM
-
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
-
Darren Smith (@Smicer999) reported@bt_uk I must have had 10 complaints raised and closed according to your SMS messages. I want an email address where I can document in detail the atrocious customer service I’ve experienced. Are you saying you provide no electronic communication mailbox at all for complaint procedures?
-
Peter Nunn (@PeterNunn3) reportedThe heavy rains over the past week have knocked out out internet, so for the first time in years I can’t watch Le Mans… Boo Hope you can fix it ASAP @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk 😒
-
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
-
Mark Haynes (@IQuitMuskspace) reported@bt_uk Sorry but you really don't give a sh*t. You fekk up at every contact. Hopeless 'guides', rude, dismissive, unwilling to take ownership, never advise calls are recorded on call backs and now trying to charge me for a temporary fix!!! PATHETIC.
-
Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported@IQuitMuskspace @bt_uk I dont know why @Ofcom allow them to repeatedly get away with such bad service. I hope you get sorted soon.
-
david bootle (@dbootsy) reported@bt_uk I was due a call back yesterday they never got back to me. Can you ensure somebody gives me a call back today? Please? DM me if easier.
-
steven 🏴🇨🇱🇮🇪 (@weblivz) reported@bt_uk It says there is an issue in my local area. This should be a proactive service to my mobile to indicate there is an issue. Also, the diagnostic page just timing out is also an issue that needs fixed. Thanks for the number though, very helpful I knowing what is happening.
-
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
-
liam (@liamsimo95) reported@SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity
-
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??
-
GM Mark Howitt (@MarkHowitt) reportedSlighty worried about @Plusnet cust service as a @bt_uk shareholder... he said it wasn't part of his job to know about the direct debit guarantee!
-
grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported@bt_uk so after 21 days of "service" I've had justv6 days of tv working without Internet dropping. That's really, really poor. If you don't cover Hurst Green then don't sell your service here
-
Tom Chapman 🐀 (@TomChap) reported@bt_uk Hi, I have just signed in to the BT account and the last bill says (Final bill). Next to the BT account No it says (Inactive). I was in credit and this was sent to my bank account. So I'm guessing its ok to cancel.
-
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.
-
JamesWebb (@WebbyJamesHere) reported@bt_uk can you fix your website so people can actually log in! Put details in, get texted a code, put code in, go to look at acc & get taken back to password page… round & round 🔁 🙄 If you want people to pay their bills it’s quite useful to let them see their acc 🤨
-
Andy250 (@Ministryofmess) reported@bt_uk can't get in touch with anybody about an Openreach issue. I keep getting text messages saying they are going to cancel our broadband engineer. Looks like a glitch in the system.
-
J (@jaysta1979) reported@jayclark0106 @EE @bt_uk Yes considering they are "the UK's biggest broadband provider" the service is not great. Already spent time on the phone to them and it still drops out regularly......
-
DBD (@DBDclothing) reported@bt_uk I am at my wits end with your stupid service. I’ve been without email for 48 hours and you’re just sending me in circles, even when I speak to your people. Do you have a human being that actually knows how your business works?
-
grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported@bt_uk what a shame , 2 weekends, 10 days of using your "service" and I've got yo watch about 4 hours tv, in total. Tried calling your helpline but it was a 90-minute wait
-
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.
-
Chris Hill (@dochill82) reportedSo tell me @bt_uk: 1. Is this the excellent customer service you talk about being committed to? 2. Why was my account cancelled when you knew it didn’t come from me? 3. Why aren’t your customer service team bending over backwards to get me online again today?
-
Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported@scubashark45 @bt_uk Unless you are happy to be without access to emails for hours (like today) I wouldn't recommend the switch. BT used to be good and worth paying extra for but not now. Been trouble since their EE merger and the fibre roll out.
