-
Lesley Talbot (@LesleyT88) reported@bt_uk your customer service is terrible! This issue still hasn’t been resolved! Told this morning that your executive customer care team would contact my mum to discuss the issue as a priority and she still hasn’t had a call! Paying customers are clearly not a priority to you
-
RichNotRich (@sideangleballs) reported@bt_uk @btbusinesscare My business broadband has been down all morning and in my efforts to log in to fault check you've now locked me out of my account! Help please!!
-
RichNotRich (@sideangleballs) reported@bt_uk @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness Broadband down all morning. Constantly being told there are no faults is not helping me get online. Help please 🙏
-
🏴🫡 🇬🇧 (@glasgoRFC1872) reported@bt_uk can’t access my account either by app or website. Called customer services 5/6 times still not working .
-
Liz Grassby-Davies (@cricketmadboxer) reportedWhat has happened to BT? Changed broadband and calls from Sky to BT for my 91 year old father. It has been one problem after another. Order had to be redone. Dad had no service despite needing careline. Now they want to charge £80 for a router that we sent back @bt_uk help
-
Paul Cawood 🇺🇦 (@audlemagronpaul) reported@BritishGas @HefinR @BTCare What authority do you have to act on customer service issues ? Answer that and maybe I’ll DM you.
-
Roibeard Mhuiris (@RMhuiris) reported@JimSpenceDundee @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk Important to add, and what makes it even more crazy, I personally contacted their Chief Executive because the BT brand I buy my broadband service from (my contractual partner) had their complaints rejected and told me to do so. There was nothing further they could/would do.
-
Ian Robson (@GFX2001) reported@bt_uk What is the point of having different methods to Contact BT if the ONLY method that can resolve a problem is a Telephone Number you must call!
-
Jim Spence (@JimSpenceDundee) reportedOver the last few three weeks I did what I thought was the decent thing and allowed workers from @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk and their contractors, to access my property to check two poles, which were NOT on my property, but in neighbouring properties where access was awkward, but not impossible. This below was the resulting damage from a wire attached to my house to a pole outwith my house, as they worked on it. I’m now expected to fill in a lengthy explanatory form and seek private estimates to repair it, before returning the form to their lawyers. This costs me time and effort for a problem not of my making.

lauren. (@cyberbeautiful) reportedWhy do you never answer the damn phone!?! @bt_uk

@neil_huntingdon #LoveNHS #FBPE #BWithTheT (@neil_huntingdon) reported@s_starrr6 @bt_uk @EE My BT broadband has been broken for a week. BT say they don't even know if they CAN fix it, let alone when. Many broken promises to keep me informed. Utterly useless. Please fix it, or release me from my contract.

mrchrisjohn (@mrchrisjohn) reported@bt_uk Your two-factor authorisation is not working No text messages are coming through!!
-
mrchrisjohn (@mrchrisjohn) reported@bt_uk There is an issue with 2FA Your support team are having to turn off the 2FA security and will take 72 hours to resolve
-
Luanne Woodward (@Lu_Woo79) reported@bt_uk Issues with “customer service” You sent a renewal, the price is too high I want to cancel (give notice) 2 HOURS on a chat only to be told I’m too early for notice?? Why isn’t this being brought to my attention when I stated the cancellation date? Very frustrated 😤
-
heebee (@KHC99d) reported@bt_uk @Xkay26x Our mother has been waiting weeks and let down on numerous occasions. Told to escalate. Escalating doesn’t make a difference. Same with our work contract - nobody cares and they re not to be trusted anymore. Since EE took over they’re appalling
-
Ingleton Ian (@Ingleton_ian) reported@bt_uk Living in her own, remote location and currently no access to emergency services of she needs them.
-
Gari MacColl (@JGMacColl) reported@bt_uk You don't give a ****, do you?
-
jackbwater (@jackbwater) reported@mizmuggle @bt_uk Now router says "connected" (an improvement) but internet doesn't work 'cos the DNS IP address the router is getting is wrong. Can't even ping the DNS IP 81.139.56.100 No option to set DNS from BT Router! Changing DNS IP locally , to 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4 and internet works.

Sheila kirkby (@kirkbysheila28) reported@bt_uk @Boston_Rabbit What a way to treat a 92yr old @bt_uk you should be ashamed

Ba$ho (@MonkeyRaincoat) reportedHi @bt_uk I am desperate to talk to a real person. I don't have a BT account. My 95-year old neighbour has lost her phone and broadband connection. She is largely deaf as well. I can't call from her phone as it is not working...1/2

star6 (@s_starrr6) reported@bt_uk unbelievable service, booked an engineer two weeks in advance only to be told now that ive been missed and the next time slot is in another two weeks! Can i get someone out quicker, atrocious
-
Changeling64 (@64outsider) reported@bt_uk Behind Brilliant things? How? When they upgrade system which results in vulnerable, elderly left at risk with a worse service than they had before! Seems #BT is profiting- w no free customer help number- hours spent trying to get someone to sort a problem that they caused.
-
heebee (@KHC99d) reported@bt_uk How about you deal with our problem - any assistance, a human who understands and is willing to sort out mother’s broadband issues after weeks and weeks of nothing would be appreciated.
-
TechbooUK 🔥 (@techboouk) reported@bt_uk Your service is so trash that I'm gong to pay off my subscription and find another provider. Twice in the past three months you have messed with my account, first time took six weeks to resolve and today yet again its gone down. Utter trash.
-
Carol Lord (@CarolLo58903853) reported@bt_uk And I've missed 2 calls this afternoon due to my poor mobile signal. But no message left or any info.

Large Vodka (@mizmuggle) reported@bt_uk have had no broadband since 25/8. fault tracker says it’s fixed but running a check on it says network fault and the expected resolve date keeps getting pushed back. Can’t get anything other than a bot on phone or text. I work from home and this is not good enough
