Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TommySoprano81 Tom (@TommySoprano81) reported

    @bt_uk over the last few days Sky Sports channels have been stuttery. Moments where the sound drops for a split second, then comes back. And at times the picture just goes briefly before coming back. Is this a known issue or is it my connection/hardware?

  • PaulDufNufc Paul Duffy (@PaulDufNufc) reported

    @MarcSDuffy @bt_uk Talk talk with cityfibre using eero router, streaming multichannel footy no problems

  • Loubie06080834 Loubie (@Loubie06080834) reported

    @bt_uk Done :( this is a really awful situation to be put in. If you are going to charge customers then proper tracked delivery should be provided, not basic second class postage.

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    @TalkTalk I spent a long time today online trying to cancel my fathers broadband only account. Referred to customer service - open until 8 pm. You’re shut. He pays @BT_uk for landline and has had the number for nearly 70years. He is 94. You say he must lose the number. Help

  • ukmcfry Paul (@ukmcfry) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Claire, thanks for the reply. I need to carry out further tests to make sure and I'll get back to you if there's still a problem.

  • h_pillinel harryp (@h_pillinel) reported

    @bt_uk our wifi currently isn’t working in the LA1 postcode (Lancaster) is there an outage?

  • james_hampson7 James Hampson (@james_hampson7) reported

    I wonder if Humphries and @btsport will issue an apology.

  • uncletypewriter 𝕱𝖎𝖆𝖘𝖈𝖆.* 𝚆𝙽𝙲 (@uncletypewriter) reported

    My dear @bt_uk service increasing £8.33 a month? Expect my cancellation later today

  • estelnixon Estel Nixon (@estelnixon) reported

    @bt_uk your wifi is shocking ever since open reach has done some work on it, I am a long time customer please contact me

  • Sandanista Bob P @BobPitman@toot.community (@Sandanista) reported

    @BTCare I have just sent you a DM regarding a sync problem on your mail server. For some reason your server has stopped letting my mail app send/receive email since Saturday morning.

  • Claret_Cook Jay Cee (@Claret_Cook) reported

    As soon as I renew my contract with BT for my broadband they hit me with nearly a stealth 20% increase! BEWARE when renewing! @bt_uk can I cancel my contract as it’s been under 14 days?

  • kimberrley Kimberley (@kimberrley) reported

    @bt_uk I don't think you understand my complaint. Brand new contract which starts on the 9th March - getting hit with the increase 22 days later. It's not acceptable. The increase should be displayed CLEARLY - not false advertising of a price that lasts a fraction of the contract length

  • captainstaino James Stanesby (@captainstaino) reported

    @TheDesKelly @ChampionsLeague @btsport Arent they knocking it down?

  • rgordon1983 Richard Gordon (@rgordon1983) reported

    @bt_uk @MarcSDuffy That’s a dreadfully antagonistic response from a company of that level of ‘stature’, Sharon. Like, really poor form. 👎

  • houseofcaley Laura (@houseofcaley) reported

    @bt_uk hi my router keeps cutting out entirely or being very slow - needs restarting every few minutes to get connection back - are there any outage problems in Yorkshire currently?

  • sukhdevKandhola Sukhdev Kandhola (@sukhdevKandhola) reported

    @bt_uk That’s not what I’m asking. Pls answer - If the BT home hub router malfunctions and stops working - should all device’s automatically fail over to the EE Hybrid Connect ?

  • grahamhollebon Graham Hollebon (@grahamhollebon) reported

    @bt_uk But the phone line can only offer basic help and your email team take days to reply!

  • HighNoon_real High Noon (@HighNoon_real) reported

    @jake82907637 @bt_uk £1.3bn in profit. After this ill never use BT again. They are SCUM

  • BallardEmmamay emma may (@BallardEmmamay) reported

    @bt_uk Sending a DM as we still have no internet. The worst thing is it’s half term for the children, my partner is working from home and on a grey, foggy cold day in February it’s not exactly park weather. All paid for service like Nintendo online, Disney+ & Netflix all all unusable.

  • NDTyler_VI Neil David Tyler (@NDTyler_VI) reported

    @bt_uk Hi guys. I'm having some issues being able to update my details either through the app or on-line. Any help?

  • david_tofield David Tofield (@david_tofield) reported

    @MarcSDuffy @bt_uk Whenever you have a price rise gives you the option to cancel with no penalty or get a new deal...check out deals online

  • mudcakesandwine Mud Cakes and Wine (@mudcakesandwine) reported

    @bt_uk hello we had no internet for over a week in December and told the compensation would go on in January or February unfortunately this has not happened. Can you help please

  • grahamhollebon Graham Hollebon (@grahamhollebon) reported

    @bt_uk why is it impossible to get meaningful help from your technical support team for the wholehome product?

  • Phillwillkill Phillip Your Cans (@Phillwillkill) reported

    @MarcSDuffy @bt_uk Loyalty doesn’t pay sadly. I was with Sky for over ten years and left because the lowest they could get me down to was £60 for what I wanted and if I was a new customer I’d get it for less than £40. With virgin now.

  • Knoller6969 Steve (@Knoller6969) reported

    @wright010619 @mrjakehumphrey @btsport It’s awful isn’t it. Bring back Brian Moore and Barry Davies

  • LauraRD46 Laura (@LauraRD46) reported

    @MarcSDuffy @bt_uk A few years ago they told me the shape of my house was causing my poor wifi.

  • haydonbeagley Haydon Beagley 💙 (@haydonbeagley) reported

    Need some help @bt_uk can’t seem to get my phone to connect to the mobile phone network here in Malta 🇲🇹 any suggestions? My plan has Roam like Home and has worked previously when I visited Malta. Having to rely on Wi-Fi.

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    @bt_uk say it's taken those 2 weeks for @WeAreOpenreach to even open the ticket request. Running a business needs Internet, and woth mobile signal not being great here, they need a landline. Broken for for 2 weeks with no move to fix it, isn't acceptable.

  • Ben85mcgaritty BENNY85 (@Ben85mcgaritty) reported

    @bt_uk why am I suffering with bad packet loss ..I have turned my router off and on and still getting packet loss
