  • Stacey41256907 Stacey (Lola) (@Stacey41256907) reported

    @bt_uk Last text was yesterday asking me to rate my service from you lol

  • DaHoodInternat1 Da Hood International (@DaHoodInternat1) reported

    @bt_uk I don't hate them because they're black, I hate them because they're bad.

  • enscomputers E & S Computers (@enscomputers) reported

    @bt_uk But why are people still getting scam calls from India, where they knew, in the latest instance, that the customer had upgraded to Fibre Broadband, their DOB, bill amount... when the customer called BT to complain the call was answered in India.

  • silverlance35 Silverlance (@silverlance35) reported

    @bt_uk I am getting extremely frustrated with you guys now. After repeated issues last year, I've had to put yet, another complain about the broadband. Yesterday it disconnected twice (almost every Thursday now) during my stream and before hand

  • brookemichele87 Brooke Austin (@brookemichele87) reported

    @bt_uk amazing customer service from Danny in Newcastle branch!!! #happycustomer

  • Jenn_Fairclough Jenn (@Jenn_Fairclough) reported

    @bt_uk Having a nightmare with service from BT. No landline or broadband for nearly 5 wks. Case keeps being closed, despite acknowledgment of a fault. Ringing call centre 3/4 a wk. Engineers have missed 5 appts now. Poor communication. Not sure how to get this resolved now.

  • agustin Agustin Pesciallo (@agustin) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Yes, down for two days and when i called yesterday they said it was gonna be fixed today and it is not. I work from home. I have already spent my @EE mobile iNet and I'm buying @bt_uk passes. How can I cancel the service and move to other provider?

  • Honestyandinte1 Honestyandintegrity (@Honestyandinte1) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks Nicola. I'll give them a try. BT's customer service is very unhelpful and seem to communicate with the technical team by messages and said they couldn't redirect my call. When I eventually got through to the technical team even they had to escalate it up- no idea to whom!

  • krystalbellax Krystal-Bella Shaw (@krystalbellax) reported

    I am so done with @bt_uk straight up lying about sending engineers out when they clearly haven't. Just release me of my damn contract already so I can get internet that actually works at my home!

  • michaaeel1991 michael (@michaaeel1991) reported

    @bt_uk hi there - we were due compensation for a delay to our service installation by about 2 months. I was told this would show on my account within about 14 days but so far can’t seem to see it and today for a bill for £29.99. Is there a way to check when it will show? Thanks

  • ilatlc ilatic (@ilatlc) reported

    @NoahreyliCustom @bt_uk my wifi keeps cutting out every 20 minutes please help

  • SolidusSnake95 Danny (@SolidusSnake95) reported

    @bt_uk It's now resolved, hours after it went down though. The service needs to be improved.

  • Honestyandinte1 Honestyandintegrity (@Honestyandinte1) reported

    @bt_uk have locked me out of my email account twice in the the last month and seem incapable of resolving a simple problem. Currently it's 5 days - customer service do not have a clue and seeem unable to talk to their own technical team. Customers deserve better @bt_uk HELP!!!!

  • hugosoul Hugo Soul (@hugosoul) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there, my poor vulnerable mum has been left without phone or internet for a week after BT a) didn’t attend an installation appointment, b) didn’t send equipment before a rescheduled appointment. Can you help?

  • Iamcosmicsoup Richard Robinson (@Iamcosmicsoup) reported

    @bt_uk So what your saying I will have to cancel my order so you will then be able to arrange to move my master socket.

  • IBorlase Ian Borlase (@IBorlase) reported

    Absolutely fuming. Intermittent WiFi for over 3 weeks, 2day no service for over 2 hours, to be told by @virginmedia it could take another 3 weeks to fix. No offer of compensation. Now moving to @bt_uk

  • AshleyBaker83 Ashley Baker (@AshleyBaker83) reported

    @bt_uk I am supposed to be joining Vodafone but they cancelled my contract and didn’t before telling me, I have submitted my order again but they can’t install until 23rd July. If BT can do it sooner I’ll cancel Vodafone and go with you

  • weaves70 Andrea (@weaves70) reported

    @bt_uk have left my 85 year old mother without phone for 2 days after botched attempt to connect her to broadband. Dangerous as her careline emergency call needs it to work. 1st customer “care” person lied to us, 2nd one better but still no phone. #btuseless

  • Lazlovictor Richard Leslie Lewis 💙theNHS (@Lazlovictor) reported

    @BTCare trying to log in to the BT site but it just keeps bouncing me back to the login page. #bt

  • davethegeek DaveTheGeek (@davethegeek) reported

    Todays achievements (apart from work obvs) @WeAreOpenreach sent by @bt_uk says that he doesnt know why im getting speed issues, could be distance, could be something else. @BritishGas came to fix the smart meter (2nd visit) says he cant do anything needs a new meter and new appt

  • markmgardner mark gardner (@markmgardner) reported

    @bt_uk I am shocked you have sent a bill for what is a shameful service. You should be paying me out of embarrassment!

  • mkrc82 KRC (@mkrc82) reported

    Great to see speedway back on @btsport Great coverage esp compared to the poor effort by @Eurosport_UK not showing the SEC. BT sport showing how it’s done. 👍🏻👍🏻

  • kaloumo Karen Moore (@kaloumo) reported

    @bt_uk hey, my mum and dad have two of you BT HD voice phones. They stopped working yesterday but things were fixed this morning - however, they’ve lost all their contacts. Is there anyway to get them back? Will this happen every time they go down?

  • DavidColeman33 David Coleman (@DavidColeman33) reported

    Currently a @BTCare residential FTTH customer and desperately want to switch the account to @btbusinesscare. But I'm told that I have to see out my residential contract! How dreadful ☹. No such problem at my other location moving from @virginmedia residential to business!

  • JamesDMuir James D Muir (@JamesDMuir) reported

    @bt_uk just wondering if you have any known issues in the IP17 area? All of my devices are unable to connect to the internet. I’m using 4G on my phone.

  • Jules_Clarke Rouge Noir (898) (@Jules_Clarke) reported

    @bt_uk What perplexed me most was the dog thing was quoted as a health and safety issue, from a postman? FFS

  • braemar88 Aidan Brennan (@braemar88) reported

    Really disappointing service from @bt_uk today. Engineer never showed up and no explanation.
