Jacki (@SportyOsteo) reported@bt_uk can you please update me as to when the phone lines will be back up and running in SS177BW No 149 has my elderly relative without a phone line and no communication for over 12 days. She has a help line that obviously works off your system. Many thanks. Jacki

Simon Blake (@BlakeUnit) reported@jonboy_103 @bt_uk I can't log in either - The log in page says 'We've launched something new - made some changes etc' - Unwise to do during office hours on a weekday, so there must be a problem in which case @BT_UK should just be honest and post on their X feed with an eta for a fix - v.poor

Alan Reeve (@AlanReeve2) reported@bt_uk I've tried calling and it doesn't connected and hangs up after a second. I am using a USA e SIM right now, could that be the price problem?
-
Bunker Show (@businessbunker) reported@bt_uk Wasted weeks of my time on this , you have failed to fix it . Told me you were sending an engineer , never arrived . You told me it was my equipment but all my stuff is BT . The digital phone line never worked either
-
Andy250 (@Ministryofmess) reported@bt_uk can't get in touch with anybody about an Openreach issue. I keep getting text messages saying they are going to cancel our broadband engineer. Looks like a glitch in the system.
-
M.C. (@MCarvill180) reported@bt_uk absolutely ridiculous service. My extender wouldn't connect, customer service replaced it with another identical extender, wouldn't connect, customer service then said they were completely wrong extenders and they would send proper extender, guess what ..
-
GM Mark Howitt (@MarkHowitt) reportedSlighty worried about @Plusnet cust service as a @bt_uk shareholder... he said it wasn't part of his job to know about the direct debit guarantee!
-
Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported@bt_uk you’ve emailed me three times now over the past three months with a digital voice activation date, and each time it never happened. Your chat help times out after 20 minutes and your call centre doesn’t pick up. Do you have an email address or postal address so I can contact you?
-
Andy (@bigdaddymills1) reportedHaving an absolute nightmare with @btbusinesscare Had problems since yesterday none of them been without Sevices for 36 hours and been told I’ve just got to wait #dm
-
thisissaffers (@ThisisSaffers) reported@bt_uk when should I expect a call back with regards to a complaint I have raised? I have been extremely unimpressed with your customer service.
-
Leo Goile (@AussieBunyip) reported@bradbutterworth @bt_uk @BTGroup Ahh somethings never change.
-
🐧 Me Might be Animal! 🐧 (@me_not_animal) reportedWell the @bt_uk saga continues! Emailed the ELC team on Friday about the issues, someone called first thing this morning and had escalated things with @WeAreOpenreach to have an engineer out this afternoon…. And surprise surprise, OpenReach failed to turn up again (3rd failure)
-
Jack Stocker (@JackStocker95) reported@BTGroup @bt_uk can anybody please tell me when the BT voice cloud app will be functioning again? Been down nearly 6 hours now and we cannot redirect any incoming calls. Need help regarding this ASAP please.
-
tha Movement Noize Production (@JumaMhlanga) reportedWho else is having issues with BT Broadband after moving? 😡 Been waiting 28+ days for service and just spent 2 hours on the phone with no resolution. Broken promises, poor communication, and still no connection. Completely unacceptable. @BT_UK #BroadbandFail #CustomerService
-
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?
-
JARVIS (@grantjarvis666) reported@bt_uk I have had possibly the worst internet from you over the past 4 years! I pay for 950mb and barely get 130mbps on a good day. Fobbed off every time I speak to customer service. Never again
-
Vicky Fraser (@bt_vicky) reported@bt_uk Loyal customer of many years here! Please can you tell me how to get technical email support?! Chatbot offering unhelpful advice and signposting to manuals and no reply on the telephone numbers provided. Ty
-
pete replica (@petereplica) reported@bt_uk Cut off my phone and net 1 week ago, instead of an upgrade. Got net back this week. Now I don't have a phone no. I can get no response from BT now. Customer of 50 years. Treated like filth. B'band speed 1/2 what is promised. Really appalling treatment.
-
Alan Reeve (@AlanReeve2) reported@bt_uk can you help, my emails have stopped working since arriving in Nevada. Everything is set up correctly and I've tried numerous things to fix it, can't even log in via webpage
-
Kevin Chubb (@swanseagas) reportedIt only took @bt_uk 14 days to fix the broadband we pay them to provide. And it lasted a good 9 hours before it stopped working again. We should be grateful really. Incompetence on an industrial scale. Bravo. What a shambles.
-
Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported@bt_uk Why don’t you just fix your website?
-
James Ferguson 🏴 🇮🇹 (@LucioFulciFan) reported@bt_uk I would like to discuss a small issue with my bill.
-
Steve George (@Baggieboy1888) reported@bt_uk paying refunds with a cheque. In 2026. Obviously their hope / expectation is that with ever fewer bank branches the recipient will deem it too much of a hassle to pay it in. Even for those that do they are earning interest until the cheque is cleared. Poor show.
-
welshshez (@welshshez81) reported@bt_uk why am I still waiting for an adviser to help me via your chat option on website. It's been an hour and 10 minutes so far. A bit ridiculous don't you think?
-
PTID1977 (@PhilH1977) reported@bt_uk Well it don’t. It’s obviously an app issue and yes my device is all up to date.
-
Darren Smith (@Smicer999) reported@bt_uk I must have had 10 complaints raised and closed according to your SMS messages. I want an email address where I can document in detail the atrocious customer service I’ve experienced. Are you saying you provide no electronic communication mailbox at all for complaint procedures?
-
MikeyyBarbatoo. (@MikeyBarbatoo94) reported@SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk after having an engineer booked in & then speaking to your colleague on the phone they then pushed my appointment back to later date!!! Even though I told them to leave the date booked, please let me know how I can cancel broadband and I’ll use someone else.
-
💫Adam👀 (@The_Change_666) reported@bt_uk Internet seems to be back on now, this is the 4th outage in 2 weeks! Something is going on!
-
Billy Kelly (@billykellyWWK) reported@HolderSuzan @bt_uk The communication companies are always terrible at communicating 😒
-
Kat (@Kat06075689) reported@bt_uk down and we have a medical device that requires WiFi to measure a baby heart rate. Device won’t alarm if heart rate drops so essentially we can’t act right away should that happen. Fed up with BT now! Can I leave without a fee for this?
