  • AlanMacleod14 Alan Macleod (@AlanMacleod14) reported

    Day 71 since I ordered broadband from @bt_uk and still no connection, no idea when there might be a connection, and another level of ‘escalation’ that doesn’t go anywhere from the BT support team who seem to think it’s ok to just ‘call back in 10 days with an update’. #BT

  • GerriisalsoGigi Lady Gigi of Pizza Hall #FBIW #YesScotland 🧢 (@GerriisalsoGigi) reported

    @bt_uk I’m at my parents and their broadband has stopped working, their box is flashing purple. I’ve unplugged/plugged in all the wires and still nothing. Could you help please?

  • TsukiWaza Grant Jones (@TsukiWaza) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Anne, thank you but no! This has caused me so many problems that I have decided to cancel BTTV now so won’t be rebooking another appointment.

  • eagles_se25 SE25EaglesCPFC (@eagles_se25) reported

    @bt_uk Have had no BT internet for 2 weeks. Engineers cancelling and coming to do **** all. Shocking costumer service. Nobody to help. This has been an issue for 1 year now . They are not letting me cancel my account . Avoid BT - they are a scam #BTinternet #scam

  • JimmyJambo51 James Yule (@JimmyJambo51) reported

    @btsport remove Stephen Craigan from my television. Annoying as ****

  • MJMHamill Matthew Hamill (@MJMHamill) reported

    @bt_uk I'm just over ½ way through a 24 month SIM-only mobile contract and want to cancel. The website says I would have to pay off the full remaining 10 months of service on a *SIM-only* plan. Meaning I'd be paying for 10 months of service that I'm not using. Is this correct?

  • TheReverendNess Ness (@TheReverendNess) reported

    @bt_uk It's not an account problem, it's a software problem in the boxes. I'm simply trying to find out when we can expect a software update to fix the bugs.

  • Davewil7476 Dave Williams (@Davewil7476) reported

    @bt_uk I doubt it Elaine but thank you but I will give you condensed version I've been waiting for broadband since July I had a appointment with openreach for8am to 1pm but they never showed up

  • TheReverendNess Ness (@TheReverendNess) reported

    @bt_uk Hoping I'm not too late to get an answer to this... Problem is still happening.

  • frugaljock stormin normin (@frugaljock) reported

    @bt_uk why have you replaced all customer service with an automatic text service… why can we no speak to customer service… 3 days without service waking to a new text each morning saying not fixed today… #notfitforpurpose

  • MeiKHsu Guey-Mei Hsu (@MeiKHsu) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @bt_uk what’s going on with the internet service in Cambridge??

  • liammhornerr liam (@liammhornerr) reported

    Honestly never been with such an unreliable internet provider like @bt_uk claim to be the UK’s best? Have a day off, constant jittering in connection and the speeds are never near what they’re supposed to be. Absolute joke.

  • danielbrooks24 daniel brooks (@danielbrooks24) reported

    if @bt_uk think I’m paying for my internet when it’s been down for 3 days they can whistle.

  • Asamsakti Dil (@Asamsakti) reported

    @bt_uk Woeful service poor excuses have had numerous engineers and still having issues. Home tech expert has validated my issues yet BT have no respect for myself or issues full fibre better off eating all bran

  • lynchlet Angharad (@lynchlet) reported

    @bt_uk please stop sending me multiple emails and texts asking me to send my equipment back - you haven’t installed my new stuff yet having failed to do so last week and I’m waiting to hear when you are going to sort the issue out. So stop with the hassle.

  • Geordiemad1 Geordiemad (@Geordiemad1) reported

    @bt_uk How will you call me as I have no phone or mobile signal at that address which is why I need the BT line installed.

  • TheReverendNess Ness (@TheReverendNess) reported

    @bt_uk There are no checks needed, I've had an engineer out, reset the box to factory settings, replaced the box with a new one, still the same problem. The engineer says it's a software problem. All i want to know is when it will be fixed with an update.

  • TheReverendNess Ness (@TheReverendNess) reported

    @bt_uk It has already been raised, the engineer has been out. Surely BT know that there is a problem with the software in their boxes...? You can't simply ask somebody what's happening?
