Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Shelley Squire (@badshelley) reported@bt_uk I’ve spoken to 3 people. 2 who confirmed the third gave me incorrect information. No offer to escalate and the process on the phone is a smokescreen. How do I navigate it to get a senior customer service representative?
-
Karen ♿🌞💐 🇬🇧 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇪🇺 (@MrsXXV25) reported@bt_uk, has there been a broadband outage in Lanarkshire? I’ve restarted our BT Hub but it has made no difference.
-
Global_Mongrel (@Global_Mongrel) reportedWhy do some companies make it really difficult to contact and notify of an issue that will help their employees avoid fines or worse points on their licence? Especially @bt_uk. Not going to post the pictures publicly as don't want the crap that comes with driving issues.
-
Chiara (@Mhairiang26) reported@JimSpenceDundee @bt_uk BY basically bullied me to move my mobile to EE - customer service zero
-
Bulldog (@UnashamedBrit) reported@bt_uk @whatawallyart Internet down AGAIN!!!!! BT has to be the most useless company ever. Of all nights to go down…. Third world company for a third world country
-
Dean (@thekaratesuit) reported@ofcom you need a word with @BTCare … they mis-sold me a tariff on sep23 and have hung up, lied to me, misled me and just been outright wastes of ***** with me every time i try to fix it - literally impossible to fix their errors… BT = big tossers
-
grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported@bt_uk Really had enough. Please send me a link to make a formal complaint about lack of service and lip service engineer. This is yet another night, one of dozens wifi and Internet failed
-
gary tordoff (@chinleyman) reported@bt_uk no internet AGAIN what is going on. Its nearly every day now, what are we paying for. Costing me to use my mobile data (Tesco) at least I can rely on that. How do I claim for the data I’m using and also a refund for not getting the broadband service I’m paying for?
-
Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported@bt_uk So how do i pay my bill? I cannot login to pay it?
-
grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported@bt_uk how long do I muck around with the chat bot, refresh everything etc before I give up and go to bed early. Again. Tell me if I need a booster or ket me out of this horrible 4 week nightmare
-
Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported@bt_uk The first 3 I cannot do because I cannot log into my account online, you don't take international checks, I don't live in the UK so pay machine doesn't work. And your customer service team want to authenticate the account with me, using a uk mobile.
-
Wendy Holden (@wendholden) reportedThree days without phones or the internet after a tree fell and not one word to anyone in our Suffolk village from @bt_uk. The tree was removed today but no one came to fix the line so another day in the dark. Shame on you.
-
Ernesto (@ernestohegi) reported@bt_uk hello, I've been having the same issue with my broadband connection for three weeks and it's still not solved, an engineer came today and said it's a problem with the line, the problem is still not solved, is there anything you can do about it?
-
Seán (@mylastsatoshi) reported@bt_uk Hello. A customer of yours in Ireland had their internet disconnected yesterday. The reason was down to a missed payment while they were in hospital. Payment was made in full this evening, two hours before your people left the office. All three of your agents were made aware of this individual's mental state. I trust you will retain call recordings from June 7th, 2026, I know I will. Good evening to you and yours.
-
Justine Clement (@JustClembo) reported@bt_uk you made my 84yr old parents wait 2wks for an engineer to install WiFi & when he came he told them he couldn’t help & they needed super fast broadband & left. Over the phone you then said ‘there’s none in your area, what a mess we’ve made’ & now it’s another 2wks to wait.
-
David Jackson (@davidjjackson) reported@bt_uk He offered to put a complaint in, but admitted it wouldnt amount to much. So I said what is the point. Whilst I have had some rubbish service from staff, the problem is @bt_uk itself. How can you sell a service, wth new hardware that is not capable of delivering that service?
-
Daniel Factor (@DanielFactor79) reported@DavidPi74336203 @bt_uk Refuse to pay. If they send balifts round tell them to **** off
-
PTID1977 (@PhilH1977) reported@bt_uk Well it don’t. It’s obviously an app issue and yes my device is all up to date.
-
Sharon&Mark (@sharon_railton) reported@bt_uk I got a call from Chris just after 8pm,basically everyone I spoke with at BT said it wasn’t their problem and that you outsource all your work to open reach,so take it up with them! I pay BT for a service and youre happy to leave vulnerable people without a phone line.Disgusting
-
Martyn_Budgie (@Budgie0624) reported@TomTugendhat . @bt_uk is the problem
-
AcharyaViren (@AcharyaShahV) reportedBT & EE @EE @bt_uk hello WiFi and mobile both have a same problem low connection sometime no connection need help.
-
Keith Stewart (@lovemymemo) reported@WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk said they can’t turn it on before Monday! Please help!
-
ANDREW HENDERSON (@AHende1006) reported@bt_uk 2 hours and 15 minutes to get my replacement Hub up and running on the phone to you. Crap customer experience @EE .
-
steven 🏴🇨🇱🇮🇪 (@weblivz) reported@bt_uk When I click the Scan for Broadband Problems the purple circle still goes on forever, so I can’t get past that screen. Everything still down.
-
Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported@bt_uk We are not wasting 25 -30 minutes on the phone to speak to an advisor, you have our number on the complaint, but you dont bother calling us, we are talking to a new supplier if you dont want our business after 40 years with you then fine !!
-
Karen ♿🌞💐 🇬🇧 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇪🇺 (@MrsXXV25) reported@bt_uk I can’t see anything to describe what to do if the modem LOS light is red. This level of customer service is unacceptable. I’m physically disabled and it’s incredibly painful for me to get low down enough to see or work on the modem. Wish we’d never joined BT.
-
trevor rhodes (@trevjrho) reported@bt_uk The many BT "guides" I've spoken to have been pleasant and tried to help but are constrained by a system that frankly doesn't work in customers interests. Particularly so in the case of older customers.
-
JamesWebb (@WebbyJamesHere) reported@bt_uk can you fix your website so people can actually log in! Put details in, get texted a code, put code in, go to look at acc & get taken back to password page… round & round 🔁 🙄 If you want people to pay their bills it’s quite useful to let them see their acc 🤨
-
Alexander Seale (@AlexSeale) reported@bt_uk Internet has been down all day. This is terrible. Please help!
-
Dr Pauline Nelson (@DrP_Manc) reported@bt_uk @bt_uk. Still useless. You identified an internal fault and said someone would come today. Nobody came. Rang you AGAIN. Was told that OpenReach came, checked outside and went away. Really? The elderly person is listed as a welfare case. Terrible terrible terrible 👎
