  • RobertClark125 Robert Clark (@RobertClark125) reported

    @bt_uk A slight problem has cropped up. I've received the email to verify my email address, but when I click the button, it says it can't open it. What can I do, as I have to verify the address to get regular hope united updates.

  • MarionPettet Marion Pettet 💙 (@MarionPettet) reported from Kelvedon Hatch, England

    Thank you @bt_uk for helping me. It seems that I wasn't correct as they resolved the issue within their time frame & I wasn't entitled. (The wording could be clearer though.) They also compensated me for a missed visit. I apologize.

  • waynejubb Jubba (@waynejubb) reported

    @bt_uk so engineers have just turned up and taken down telegraph pole for our street. Where was the communication to let us know the work was going ahead!

  • gavintulloch Gavin Tulloch (@gavintulloch) reported

    @bt_uk I have sent this over. Can you confirm that I can cancel and won’t be charged any cancellation fees? I have contacted my MP @GradySNP about this.

  • chadSTERjohn John Chadwick (@chadSTERjohn) reported

    @bt_uk I did manage to speak to someone and got it sorted but I’ve had some more problems and could really do with some help

  • seaghanMK2 Seánie 🥊 (@seaghanMK2) reported

    @bt_uk No all ok. Speed 150. Recent letter saying that our phone service will soon be switching to the back of the hub, was worried it might not work. It hasn’t helped by an idiot openreach engineer outside telling us we are not on full fibre when our contract clearly says we are.

  • sue_cord Susan Cord 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@sue_cord) reported

    @RevMthrSamantha @bt_uk Once, maybe 15 years ago, we were having major problems with our phone line, which meant our dial-up (!) would drop out. This only happened when it rained. If course, when an engineer came, it was glorious sunshine, & they implied we lied. 2nd engineer rewired from house to pole

  • lawrawrrrrrrr laura (@lawrawrrrrrrr) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I placed an order with your shop earlier today and want to discuss an email I just received - can't find any contact # and live chat offline. Can you help?

  • YesCompSols Alan Goodman (@YesCompSols) reported

    So I called into @vmbusiness @virginmedia apparently there's 5 'P4' faults affecting the services, estimated time to resolution is 5 DAYS. @btbusinesscare how long does it take to provision fibre on an existing business line with no left in jumper?

  • dan161285 Dan 🐻🐑 (@dan161285) reported

    @bt_uk internet is down S20 6TA? Can you assist

  • GinnyW71 Jane White (@GinnyW71) reported

    @bt_uk you’ve really excelled yourselves this time. 8 days without a landline and day 3 without broadband. At least 10hrs of our time wasted in calling you for 3 days and still no resolution!? Paying £68 a month for garbage service #appallingservice #joke #btisuseless

  • johnlawless33 john lawless (@johnlawless33) reported

    @bt_uk Hope you can help, reported a fault on 10th May. Had an engineer come out. He couldn't find anything and left. Been without landline ever since.

  • TheGoodwins2 TheGoodwins (@TheGoodwins2) reported

    Hello @BTCare you are driving an elderly couple insane trying to cancel phone their line. You've had us jumping through hoops which we've done & still you're refusing to cancel phone line on completion of house sale. Why would people want to pay for new owners phone calls?

  • sheepiefarm CharlietheShepherd (@sheepiefarm) reported

    @Harrywhoz1 @bt_uk Have reported it as a scam on their website. Normally I would have been wary - must have my stupid head on today 🤪

  • nw1gunner Anwar Hussain (@nw1gunner) reported

    @BTCare @BTGroup @Ofcom complaint ref: VOL013-569118771964 I’ve had poor customer service already in regards to my service. And now rang to speak to an advisor who rudely and aggressively cut me off. I have lost all trust in this company now.

  • NovakEndo Novak Endo (@NovakEndo) reported

    @bt_uk your website is awful, please provide me with a direct link to the Return Equipment Request page because I've tried navigating your website for 30 mins now and can't find it. Absolute joke of a site.

  • LFC_NatPhillips NinjaPhillips ⇨ (@LFC_NatPhillips) reported

    @DarrenDevGuy @btsport The Europa final kept buffering on the app which has never happened before

  • SirCHUCKY James Bowen (@SirCHUCKY) reported

    Are @bt_uk restricting wifi range and on purpose? I have a @ring video doorbell 3 meters away from my so called smart hub but the signal strength is not good enough for the video or audio.

  • lil_skyscraper_ Sarah ツ (@lil_skyscraper_) reported

    @bt_uk we have both domestic and business internet with you and both are down in the ME2 area, is there an outage?

  • quatermass_pitt Christopher Jones (@quatermass_pitt) reported

    @bt_uk @MarcusRashford Will BT and Marcus also support another simpler move; if somebody receives abuse online, they close their accounts and kill the abuse by depriving the trolls the oxygen of publicity. Thierry Henry shut down his social media, a far better step.

  • angronswad Pud (@angronswad) reported

    @bt_uk give Laura D a pay rise! Absolutely lovely to talk too and sorted my issue out in minutes after having no luck at all via phone or live chat! Made moving in a months time a lot less stressful! Thank you Laura!

  • sue_cord Susan Cord 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@sue_cord) reported

    @RevMthrSamantha @bt_uk Bill charged us for both calls outs, despite 2nd call out fixing problem. @Revinthenorth then wrote to their CEO, after we'd spent hours on the phone. The bills, including line rental and calls, were completely written off. We moved supplier shortly after & got broadband

  • MeurlingJohan Johan Meurling (@MeurlingJohan) reported

    @bt_uk is there a broadband service issue in N1? Our connection keeps dropping.

  • otters71 David Ottley (@otters71) reported

    @bt_uk Why are BT still not able to sort out my phone line takeover, this is now over 2 months. They promise one thing to get your business but cannot deliver, very poor BT

  • gavintulloch Gavin Tulloch (@gavintulloch) reported

    @GradySNP Hi Patrick, I am having an urgent issue with @bt_uk who are refusing to let me speak to cancellation team until *after* my cooling off period has ended. As a result, I’m v anxious about getting a huge cancellation fee. Have emailed details and grateful of any support.

  • Revinthenorth Rev James Bissett (@Revinthenorth) reported

    @sue_cord @RevMthrSamantha @bt_uk Bill = BT. The first manse had a similar multiple callout issue, only resolved by replacing about 50mbof badly frayed cable. They also put the wrong name on the account and phone book and wouldn't change it without paying cancellation fees and starting a new contract...

  • alimaxwell_ali Ali Maxwell (@alimaxwell_ali) reported

    @bt_uk Have been trying to get fibre broadband installed for 3 months without success. Bt can’t even give me a date for installation- asked to be put through to escalations team but the person there would not speak directly to me - shambolic service

  • Carer26 Tony Goodger (@Carer26) reported

    been waiting for ages for #BT / @bt_uk to email me a 4 digit code. Come on guys DO IT NOW you'll feel so much better for doing some customer care!

  • reallyblonde Kirsten Gibson (@reallyblonde) reported

    @bt_uk I appreciate the update Dee. Can you confirm it will be an Openreach engineer that will come out to connect it and not a contractor as contractors cannot resolve this problem. Also, how will we be reimbursed automatically if you don’t know how much costs we have incurred?

  • MattNealRacing Matt Neal (@MattNealRacing) reported

    @bt_uk please help me, I’ve stuck with you forever but my home broadband is shocking. I’ll contribute but pleeeeease help!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😩😩😩😩
