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.
-
Meinir H Thomas 🦅🖤 (@MeinirT) reported@bt_uk Issues again today with accessing #bt email!! When will this be sorted please?
-
alex (@Alex_CK2) reported@BT_UK My parents been without WiFi for 3 days. They were told it was billing issue despite paying and having proof. Today my mum was passed between 5 people, blaming either billing or a copper wire switch. No fix, no warning, despite paying hundreds each month. Awful service.
-
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.
-
Shoshanah Cohen (@sc2987) reported@bt_uk And if she were going to switch mobile providers, it would be to Giffgaff, as we're all with them. Not you. You should never be pushing extra services on people moving to a social tariff (or anyone, but especially those likely to be vulnerable).
-
Claire Rendall (@clairerendall1) reported@bt_uk I spent 54 minutes on hold trying to get through to you today on behalf of my elderly parents. Unacceptable #fail
-
John (@palacejohn) reported@bt_uk Incorrect. Tried but the same useless system. Finally successful by using option to leave BT. Straight through to a human being, strange how loss of customers is more important than giving good service.
-
Amanda Llewellyn (@mandllewellyn) reported@btbusinesscare Done that - of course! And your colleague’s are unable to assist me as it’s “a known problem” and “the only solution is to create a new email address”.
-
me (@shenry1972) reportedI'd like to thank @bt_uk for leaving my vulnerable elderly mother without a working phone line for almost a week and giving such atrocious customer service.
-
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 .
-
The Version | Upgrade your downtime (@theversionhq) reported@mongrelcelt @bt_uk You’ve clearly never dealt with @skytv
-
Mini67!x (@jellywellys99) reported@bt_uk I have tried to do it on my account even downloaded the app but nowhere to do it it just sends you round and round in circles I am a new customer today this isn't looking good so far
-
wynne carter 🔶#FBPE🇺🇦 (@gvs368) reported@bt_uk I've now raised a formal complaint with BT. I have the emails and now a screenshot of an Openreach build status map for the Newport on Tay exchange showing we don't have plans to build any further in this area.!
-
Pierssy 💙 (@Pierssy) reported@bt_uk unbelievably terrible customer services, the people I have eventually spoken to have been good, but the automated system is crap as is the 'my BT' when you have a problem. Engineer appointment show 2 different days on different pages, so frustrating!
-
James Ferguson 🏴 🇮🇹 (@LucioFulciFan) reported@bt_uk I would like to discuss a small issue with my bill.
-
Angela Cummins (@Angela_Cummins) reportedMy elderly infirm neighbour has had a fault on his line for 2 MONTHS! It gets fixed and then breaks again within a few days. I now can't speak to anyone about this - its just my line that gets checked! This was an urgent welfare check on Mon & it's broken again! Help pls @bt_uk
-
Joey (@laggyteabag) reported@bt_uk Im helping an neighbour try to log into their BT account. They've set a password a dozen times, and they can log into their BT emails on a browser without any issues, but trying to log into the BT app flags an incorrect password error. Is their any guidance for this?
-
Marc Dyson 🐟🐟🐟 (@markymarc1973) reported@bt_uk Tremendous work @bt_uk not only have I contacted you on here (and you haven’t even replied or DM’d to my reply), but I also emailed you and got nothing back. So, phone call, twitter feed and email and no comeback from you guys other than to call again. Awful. Goodbye in Oct.
-
Shoshanah Cohen (@sc2987) reported@bt_uk Don't imply she's just changed her mind. Your staff deliberately bamboozle people. They are told to. Consider this a complaint, and send her a copy of the audio recording (I know you can't send it to me without her permission, but believe me, I will be listening to it).
-
Vince (@vinc3h4ll) reported@bt_uk don’t want you to close account! can’t login to web as your procedures require a billing account number and I haven’t had but account for some years
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported@bt_uk my mum is a vulnerable customer and had a new connection on the 1st July and it’s never worked. An engineer was due on the 8th, 14th and today I’ve now been told it’s the 15th and she isn’t able to make it. Every-time I call I have to repeat the same tale. Help.
-
Emma Clarke (@ladyemmaclarke) reported@BT @BTcare @BT_Helpline I have been 9 days without broadband. 90 minute waits every day to speak to guides. 1 openreach appointment. Broadband went down 10 minutes after he left. New appointment made and then cancelled not by me. . I have never experienced service as bad.
-
Jess Sanderson (@VSKisser) reported@bt_uk you broke the internet end of Feb! Require a permit to work, cancelled the order to fix - with no communication - I’ve called and rebooked and you move the completion date and still sat paying for a service I am not receiving - absolute shambles!!! Sort my internet out!
-
pst (@sliverlodeone) reported@bt_uk Yes. I’ve just spent 1.5 hours on the phone to a BT guide, for the 4th time in the last 2 months to try and get my issue resolved. After many hours of troubleshooting, with the same processes undertaken by multiple guides you are finally sending an engineer out. Awful service.
-
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.
-
DJ Dinamique 🇫🇷 🏴 💙 (@DJDinamique) reported@CarersUK @bt_uk What I don't understand is now @bt_uk are moving people to VOIP (because that's what it is) they still have that idea that you can only have an hour free even though if you hang up at 59 minutes and call again it remains free. It feels like a trap.
-
Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported@bt_uk So how do i pay my bill? I cannot login to pay it?
-
Dustfuch (@Dustfuch1) reported@bt_uk please tell your call handlers to stop the hard sell once youve asked to leave. 4 times i had to tell them to stop trying to sell me things, and they still kept me on hold and transferred me to a "manager" to let me cancel. Frustrating isnt strong enough
-
ABC (@charl32647) reportedThere is no doubt that @bt_uk are one of the worst customer service companies in the UK if not the world. A total joke of a business.
-
Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported@bt_uk I'm unable to manage my account online due to the recent changes you've made with MFA and needing a uk mobile phone. How do I check on my billing, how do I know what my bill is, and how do I pay it. Tried multiple times calling customer service and nobody has a solution??
