  • MojoJojo780 Johanna Courtney (@MojoJojo780) reported

    3/ ... a card payment and you will reconnect in 24-hours. To be frank, this is atrocious treatment of an elderly and vulnerable customer of @bt_uk during a pandemic. She is by herself, has no one other than me and I’m volunteering to help her out. Many elderly people do not...

  • Stuart_H21 Stuart Millard (@Stuart_H21) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @bt_uk I've got it reported now and have a Halo on order for delivery tomorrow. Just putting up with a shared 4G MiFi for today. Very slow compared with my usual FTTC connection though. How do people cope with such limited speeds nowadays?

  • Kimbles_23 Kimberley Anne (@Kimbles_23) reported

    @bt_uk Hi guys, we seem to have a problem in Gainsborough with internet - are you working on the exchange?

  • alliejc Allie Chesters (@alliejc) reported

    @bt_uk I need to renew my contract but every time I try I'm just seeing a message saying personalised offers aren't available. I've been told to call value team but due to hearing issues this isn't really best option for me. I just want to renew online.

  • bigchesh247 Mark Cheshire (@bigchesh247) reported

    @bt_uk bloody slow again been like this for weeks now it’s a third of what it should be not good enough

  • MojoJojo780 Johanna Courtney (@MojoJojo780) reported

    1/ Very unimpressed with @bt_uk Cut a vulnerable 83-year old woman’s line off, including her emergency alarm for not paying her bill. She’s unable to get out due to COVID and shielding, she has a bad back and is in pain, she pays her bills at the post office so getting there ...

  • Halifax22 Stephen Jones (@Halifax22) reported

    @bt_uk hello i need support with ps5 order and your shop phone lines are closed and no live chat; however my ps5 should be arriving tomorrow but its showing pending processing. Been on hold to normal line for 30 mins. Please help

  • LinaAnaleena Lina Hamed@ANALEENA® (@LinaAnaleena) reported

    @bt_uk Still having problems....

  • HeyUnicorn Michael Matthews (@HeyUnicorn) reported

    @samhoulden @bt_uk @bt_uk really are the worst. I've had two orders mysteriously cancelled without contact or explanation. The second after a formal complaint and being appointed a special contact who promised he'd keep me informed and be in regular contact.

  • G_Maxi_73 Penalty to Rangers 😉 (@G_Maxi_73) reported

    @bt_uk More like terrible internet speed than actual problems despite paying more than the other 4 houses in our street.

  • rogercarlallen Roger Allen (@rogercarlallen) reported

    @BTCare so now we find out you won’t be out to fix our issue until 19/01/2021 - no landline and no internet and no contact with our family over Christmas I will be cancelling my contract come new year without penalty

  • samhoulden Samta MF Claws (@samhoulden) reported

    I have to say that @bt_uk are staying fully on-brand in making mistake after mistake & making moving house as difficult & stressful as possible. #complaint

  • PBuckle22 Peter Buckle (@PBuckle22) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Michaela I've tried this, however we keep getting a red light above the signal indicator (which is what the issue was previously) does this mean there is no signal available for it to work? I've tried the hub around the house

  • samhoulden Samta MF Claws (@samhoulden) reported

    @bt_uk Have done so now. PLEASE answer your phones or come back to me to fix the problems that (by your staff’s admission) BT have caused because this is completely unacceptable.

  • Stuart_H21 Stuart Millard (@Stuart_H21) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Having horrendous problems, for the first time ever, with my @bt_uk broadband today. Making it practically impossible to work. Not helping my daughter, who's self-isolating, do her schoolwork either.

  • KhaleesiBW Højbjerg FC ☃️ (@KhaleesiBW) reported

    BT customer service is awful. I’ve been forced to move out of my house and back home because of my health and wanted to cancel my broadband. I was told to ‘get another house’ to put it in LMAO WHAT @BTGroup @bt_uk

  • Greyingbeard79 David Fleming (@Greyingbeard79) reported

    Dear @btsport your documentaries are usually of the highest quality, but image my disappointment when sitting down to watch ‘Bosman’ and finding out it had nothing to do with Ray Traylor Jnr 😡 #youllservehardtime @btsportwwe

  • PBuckle22 Peter Buckle (@PBuckle22) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Michaela I've managed to speak to someone now, however our bt mini hub is not working whilst we wait for our Internet to be sorted. Can you advise?

  • InderdeepGill Inder (@InderdeepGill) reported

    O 👏🏽 K @bt_uk you’ve just edged me to the end of 2020 + left me for dead with no internet, ON 👏🏽 MY 👏🏽 WEEK 👏🏽 OFF 😭 — a cool mum millennial like me relies on that thing. Apple TV, Netflix, Prime, NowTV, Instagram, PlayStation... chile my **** signal flat can’t handle this!!

  • ComXcomics Eddie Krueger (@ComXcomics) reported

    @bt_uk Still on hold whilst they 'check' my account with a colleague. This issue has been going on since July.

  • RickyMaloney1 Ricky Maloney (@RickyMaloney1) reported

    @bt_uk I need two more discs is the truth of it Gareth. The WiFi in this house is very poor considering we have Halo and a Smarthub 2.

  • theboatman72 Baz on deck 💙💛 (@theboatman72) reported

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp ta for DM 'update is due later today. Our connection team will be in touch then.' After ringing them no one has looked at the issue since the 10th and no one was planning to ring us. 2 adult care worker's unable to properly, whilst you just lie.

  • TerraceCraig Terrace Craig (@TerraceCraig) reported

    @DroopyPiles @bt_uk Dont get excited i had same and its utter crap just a slightly cheaper prices

  • samhoulden Samta MF Claws (@samhoulden) reported

    Your app asks me to use Livechat. I then complete ALL of the details to do so & then get told there are no agents available even to do Livechat. @bt_uk really surpassing themselves in the terrible customer service area here. (Over half an hour on hold now)

  • alliejc Allie Chesters (@alliejc) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you have done that. I want to either stay on current package or drop down but I cant access any of the information. I can see offers for new customers but the moment I log in it tells me no personalised deals are available so I can't see what I might like to switch to.

  • ymarson Yoel Marson (@ymarson) reported

    Moved to EE for bband to get a better service for 3rd of the price but then slap on the wrist BTs term. charge offsets all gains! @BTCare

  • MojoJojo780 Johanna Courtney (@MojoJojo780) reported

    2/ ... has been a challenge this year. She’s had her account since the 70s and never pays late. I stressed when I spoke to @bt_uk in her presence on her behalf in Oct NOT to cut her off and to have a note on her account that she’s vulnerable. I have just sat with her to do a...

  • JuFitJuJu Julian (@JuFitJuJu) reported

    Such poor customer support for a long term customer from @bt_uk @BTCare tried to upgrade my sons mobile contract with yourselves after I’ve taken the full tv & broadband package and the price I was given last week has now gone up £10 a month !!! Shocking

  • ComXcomics Eddie Krueger (@ComXcomics) reported

    Worst part of being on hold on a call with @bt_uk is having cheesy Christmas songs assault the ears whilst you wait. That's really putting me in the right mood for a civil conversation. Especially 54 minutes worth.

  • dansuth Dan Sutherland (@dansuth) reported

    @bt_uk No Aaron. It shows it’s connected to WiFi which is connected to a broken BT fibre.
