    @bt_uk is there ever a day when your products actually work for a whole day. If it's not the unstable app continually throwing you out, it's accessing MyBT. Why does anyone stay with you. Totally exasperated again.

    @bt_uk Neighbours have same problem. Despite your test saying nothing wrong with line - USELESS BT

    outstanding work from @WeAreOpenreach when installing neighbours fibre they cut our broadband, just cut the cable, Even though it clearly goes into a different house, and @bt_uk / @EE said, best we can do to get it back is Tuesday. The levels of customer service are at a new low

    @bt_uk We have been with BT for decades and never known the customer service this bad. It is too complex to explain on here but after many years, we will be moving supplier

    @bt_uk you’re existing customer price promise is a scam, your customer service is a mess and you have 0 loyalty for your long term existing customer. Get in the bin. Moving to @skytv asap.

    @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 you’ve emailed me saying I can view my bill, can’t get into my account. Is there a problem with your website ??? Been like it all day and I’d like to see my bill !

  • vickiadhmsutton
    Victoria Sutton (@vickiadhmsutton) reported

    Shame on you @bt_uk. When people lose someone they love, they need support not to be told their next of kin need to sign up to a 2yr contract to reduce the monthly bills. Utterly disgraceful. Cannot wait to cancel your services and NEVER use you again. You should be ashamed.

  • nickinoonoos

    @bt_uk shocking service not had internet or Tv for 3 weeks, engineer arrives last night said in the service box repaired issued less than 15 hours normal service resumed and in tv or internet, and now no one will pick up the phone, quick to charge you the bill ... @EE @numan64

  • HounslowParking
    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve told your complaint handlers I’m not spending one more minute of my time talking to anyone from BT. Even recalling any part of this mess will make me lose my temper and I’ve already spent hours. My monthly bills have gone from £125 to over £500. Why? BT has no answer.

  • ChrisWall85

    @bt_uk can't log in via the website or app. Sends a code to my email (fine) then to my mobile which it never accepts. The screen just never progresses? Known issue?

  • MrAndyMich
    Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t need to call any number I need BT and the people making these stupid decisions to realise they’re putting their customers at risk. The issue is you weren’t able to spot whether it was a scam number or not. So the question is why are BT as a company putting their customers through this? Please listen to what I’m saying and pass my deep concerns to the people making these stupid decisions.

    @bt_uk i had my bt email account hacked after putting my login details into a spurious email. I regained access to my email by changing the password but I don’t seem to receive emails and emails that say they have been sent don’t get received. How can I rectify this?

    @bt_uk Tried that and the customer service agents kept cutting me off. Waste of bloody time.

  • duncsand
    Duncan Anderson 🍃🔋⚡️🤖 (@duncsand) reported

    I called @bt_uk to cancel a service we're not using. The "guide" put me on hold for ages, then the line went dead, followed by an automated SMS asking what I thought of the service. Not very good is the answer!

    @BillSco747 @KeoghsLaw @bt_uk Hi Bill, I am really sorry to hear that damage has been caused to your property. Whilst this is never our intention, I understand accidents to happen. All of our damage claims are dealt with by Keoghs. We cannot see the status of a damage claim here. You can email them at (1/2)
