    @btbusinesscare please cancel my order as you seem incapable of delivering a service and can’t even manage to transfer me to a supervisor to escalate my complaint when you change my installation yet again - that’s almost 4 weeks waiting now 🙁

  • ae_parry

    @btbusinesscare Another week and another attempt to get BT issues sorted. Just absolutely incapable. Everything has to be done Chat. I am sure I wil gte an agent within the next hour who will be absolutely useless and just fob me off again.

    @duncsand @bt_uk Being able to find a contact number for a business is more than you get from most companies. Goes to show though, very few understand or care about customer service these days

    @bt_uk why can we not talk to an operator anymore, dyk how, annoying it is, when no one will pick up the call and you have no WIFi for 5 weeks now and all I get told is "there's a network error" Well sort the issue, you are quick to take payment, which I will be claiming back

    @BTCare #openreach have taken our @TalkTalk internet offline AGAIN!! @bt_uk are so ****!

  • MrAndyMich
    Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported

    @bt_uk I’m absolutely disgusted, in this day & age of phone scams you have people phoning from unsolicited numbers about contract renewal (+44 1438 989233). All the person on the other end of the phone could say was “I promise I work on behalf of BT”. I said I can promise I’m the king of England. Do you see how stupid and dangerous this practice is? I think as a company you desperately need to review this, it’s dangerous and it’s making me think if you can be trusted at all. In this day and age it’s unforgivable to do this in this manner.

    @btbusinesscare I won’t see any difference in my service for your extra 7% increase.

    @WeAreOpenreach OR sent a text this am saying my fault had been FIXED. However, the landline is STILL dead and has been dead since March 10th. I live alone and am a pensioner. @bt_uk @Ofcom Help!

    @bt_uk my broadband has been awful for months now, you guarantee 23mb & last night I had 1.8, how is this right when you’re still charging me the same?

  • ItsHWC
    Brain Freeeze (@ItsHWC) reported

    @bt_uk is officially the worst internet in the UK We’re paying £80 per month for a laggy internet connection where you can’t even watch a simple stream. I will be calling up to cancel tomorrow morning It’s ridiculous!

  • DrCEJohnston
    Dr Craig Johnston (@DrCEJohnston) reported

    @bt_uk just moved in to a property which you assured us had broadband - it doesn't. An engineer can't come out until the 7th. So, a week with no Internet or TV. Complaint incoming

    @bt_uk Appalling service. You did not complete our installation on the 20th as promised, so we've been left with no phone, internet, and our security cameras and entry phone system are offline. Thanks

    Brilliant! @bt_uk FTTP N/W - network fault and @EE* 4/5G utterly abysmal at my NR 12 7 location... *Roll on end May when I can say bye-bye!

  • arthurbikemad
    arthurbikemad (@arthurbikemad) reported

    @btbusinesscare This issue is still bot resolved. I find it hard to understand why BT fail to see my issue, I was sold WiFi handsets, there are no WiFi handsets, we now have limited range, BT are now suggesting that I am the issue. Payment is canceled and I still have no resolve. HELP.

  • TrainDriver1982
    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    @bt_uk Can’t believe this. Obvious misdiagnosed as both neighbours and ours routers going down. Now I’ve had an email to say my router is being delivered…. to next door.

    @bt_uk I’ve just tried that generic phone number, after being passed on several times I finally got told that they are experiencing technical outage and to phone back.

    Zentara IT (@Zentarait) reported

    @btbusinesscare Hi have you guys fixed the issue the web ex portal error? There is an unknown error causing a problem. this was the start of the error but to be told by support im making it up is a joke even with images of it.

    @bt_uk Very frustrated that your new 2 step security verification is not working and apparently many cannot access their accounts. Please fix asap

  • LavenderFairy79
    Jill (@LavenderFairy79) reported

    @BTCare can I book a call please? Its regarding a recent service complaint,you didnt uphold your promise and me ending my xontract that ended months ago! You've been charging me twice as much as a new customer for a long time now!

  • thfcsimonm
    Simon (@thfcsimonm) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve tried that twice. It takes 20 minutes to get through and then I’m sat on the phone a further half hour while your operatives ‘ look into it ‘ and then promise the problem will be resolved. Each phone call is over an hour !!!

    @bt_uk Tried this and they say they now need 3 more days to resolve phone line being down. Really poor service and unacceptable.

  • thereal_JOC
    John O'Connor (@thereal_JOC) reported

    @bt_uk Still no joy. Using both my phone and a desktop. Same issues persists. Happy to keep my existing appointment date but slightly annoying. I’ve made a note of your number, but perhaps this is an issue that needs looking at in the background as well.

    @bt_uk This issue is not specific to my account. It's a bug on your website.

    @BTCare why are the sports channels not working? Reset router, reset box, still crap

  • CazMorgan5
    Caz Morgan (@CazMorgan5) reported

    @bt_uk What a joke of a reply. As I said, my boss was on the phone to you for hours on end; 4.5hours being passed from pillar to post and you want him to do that again? Why does the customer have to do all the chasing for your mistake?
