    @bt_uk Can’t believe this. Obvious misdiagnosed as both neighbours and ours routers going down. Now I’ve had an email to say my router is being delivered…. to next door.

    @BillSco747 @KeoghsLaw @bt_uk Hi Bill, I am really sorry to hear that damage has been caused to your property. Whilst this is never our intention, I understand accidents to happen. All of our damage claims are dealt with by Keoghs. We cannot see the status of a damage claim here. You can email them at (1/2)

    @bt_uk I’ve been trying to cancel a line for 8 weeks. You still haven’t done it. Absolutely disgraceful useless service. BT is probably the worst conglomerate in the UK

    @btbusinesscare I’ve just tried WhatsApp and the same issue. No response. Is there a phone number to actually speak to a human ??? 🤬🤷🏻. I’m being threatened with legal action over an account I closed months ago and I cannot speak to someone ??? Your robot doesn’t understand!! 😱😱

  • HounslowParking
    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve told your complaint handlers I’m not spending one more minute of my time talking to anyone from BT. Even recalling any part of this mess will make me lose my temper and I’ve already spent hours. My monthly bills have gone from £125 to over £500. Why? BT has no answer.

  • DavidB25778
    David Banner (@DavidB25778) reported

    @bt_uk If anyone reads this to research whether or not to use BT for broadband, don't use them. Appalling service from all parts of the business that blames openreach. Terrible service from a terrible company.

    @bt_uk I have genuinely had enough of your service now. Expecting a £96 refund but instead for the 4th month in a row after I left you have billed me again. This time it's now apparently overdue. This is genuinely unbelievable

    @btbusinesscare Another week and another attempt to get BT issues sorted. Just absolutely incapable. Everything has to be done Chat. I am sure I wil gte an agent within the next hour who will be absolutely useless and just fob me off again.

  • thfcsimonm
    Simon (@thfcsimonm) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve tried that twice. It takes 20 minutes to get through and then I’m sat on the phone a further half hour while your operatives ‘ look into it ‘ and then promise the problem will be resolved. Each phone call is over an hour !!!

    BT Business strikes again. Totally unable to provide the service they promised or bill correctly. 2 years of hell at their hands. @btbusinesscare you really don’t. Broken promise after, broken promise.

    @btbusinesscare IMP-161473302 - still unresolved despite being opened in first week of December. Escalated in January and still unresolved. We need a resolution , not updates advising us you're still 'working on it'. The impact on our clients isn't acceptable.

    @btbusinesscare what does it take to get to speak to a person for business support. Can’t get online and report a fault but unable to speak to a person to get help. Shocking service 🤬🤬🤬

    @btbusinesscare I won’t see any difference in my service for your extra 7% increase.

  • TrainDriver1982
    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    @bt_uk Your detection system says everything is ok, clearly it is not. Means I’m going to have to speak to your normally incompetent tech support since my open reach box was accidentally wired up to neighbours when development built. Literally had enough.

  • simonjbowler
    Simon Bowler (@simonjbowler) reported

    @bt_uk Perhaps you could read the message I sent ans acknowledge that your chat service and account access aren't working for one of your customers. To be honest, that would resonate better than inviting me to spend an hour on the phone for a 5 minute issue.

  • esolutionsltd
    e-solutions (@esolutionsltd) reported

    @btbusinesscare We have come into the office and surprise the phone system is NOT WORKING and NO CONTACT FROM BT. I guess its another day on the mobile phone (thankfully Vodafone) chasing the elusive BT Cloud Voice team, for another update. why do BT think this is acceptable?

    @BTCare @bt_uk @EE tv. I’ve checked all the help questions , I’ve turned off the tv box. No apps are working. Can’t load BBC iplayer etc. So annoying. I don’t want to reboot

  • euanwab
    Euan (@euanwab) reported

    @asha_shar Any way to have wi-fi 5ghz as default or option? Xbox is one of the only devices that defaults to 2.4ghz with no way to get 5ghz unless you disable 2.4ghz on the broadband entirely. Some providers like @bt_uk don’t allow for that or splitting the network on their routers. Help!

    @bt_uk Neighbours have same problem. Despite your test saying nothing wrong with line - USELESS BT
