-
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
-
Kevin Chubb (@swanseagas) reported@bt_uk It’s working again this morning. Hooray. But your “cancel my appointment” element of MyBT is not. Swings and roundabouts.
-
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.
-
Steve Taylor (@stevetaylor10) reportedI have to say if I gave my customers the same service that I'm receiving from @bt_uk I really would not have a business left.
-
George Somerville (@geosomerville) reportedDear @bt_uk - for 6 weeks I have had a wholly unreliable WiFi signal. So far I have had 2 engineers to the house & 2 to the outside set up. I am using the chat function again to speak with one of your colleagues for what is now the 8th or 9th time. There is no consistency, I have to relay the problem each time & each time they have another trick to try. I am getting nowhere with fixing the problem & just going around in circles. Please can I speak to someone who can help!!!!! PLEASE!
-
Keith Stewart (@lovemymemo) reported@WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk said they can’t turn it on before Monday! Please help!
-
Dunc (@derbydunk) reported@bt_uk Hello. We got an email to say digital voice starts 20/7/26. It said we'd receive a code which we've never had and said an engineer would visit for switchover. Today we've received a new smart hub and phone. Is an engineer coming? Do we need a code? We're confused 🙃
-
Kate (@ManiacSpaniel) reported@bt_uk I’m still blocked from my btinternet email weeks later. Your customer care person said someone would call but they didn’t. How can I resolve this? I have important information in that email account and you’ve stopped me accessing it with no warning.
-
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?
-
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).
-
Barbara Starkey (@brassbubs) reported@bt_uk when are you going to fix the BT app? For over a month now we have been unable to log on and access our account. Neither can we do it online. It's beyond a disgrace
-
nicolas mcmillan (@herbie963) reportedAbsolute shocking service from @bt_uk and @WeAreOpenreach . 80 year old parents without landline or broadband due to an off site fault for over a week, call center a chocolate teapot and still no visit from an open reach engineer or any hint of service recovery. Contact plz
-
Justine Clement (@JustClembo) reported@bt_uk They’ve spent hours and hours doing that and even your team say it’s a complete mess and a shambles. It’s a disgrace, being the worst, most stressful aspect of moving house. How can you be proud of that as a business and service?
-
Dr Pauline Nelson (@DrP_Manc) reported@bt_uk your service is SO appalling. Elderly relative who depends on landline without phone line for 5 DAYS and you have totally failed to fix within the promised time. Formal complaint coming. Poor, poor, poor 👎
-
Slimzee (@slimzeeUTD) reported@virginmedia 28million pound fine, what a crap service. Glad I moved to @bt_uk
-
Horwich RMI Cricket (@HORWICHRMI) reportedAnother **** show from @bt_uk another wasted day. We have now been waiting 3 MONTHS FOR FIBRE !!!!!!
-
MartinⓂ VOTE FOR CHANGE (@smeemartin) reportedI’ll tell you what, @bt_uk do not muck around, when their internet goes down, it really goes down, 4 or 5 days, no problem for them, they can do that on a regular basis and frequently do🤬🤬🤬
-
Peter Nunn (@PeterNunn3) reportedThe heavy rains over the past week have knocked out out internet, so for the first time in years I can’t watch Le Mans… Boo Hope you can fix it ASAP @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk 😒
-
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
-
Seán (@mylastsatoshi) reported@bt_uk Hello. A customer of yours in Ireland had their internet disconnected yesterday. The reason was down to a missed payment while they were in hospital. Payment was made in full this evening, two hours before your people left the office. All three of your agents were made aware of this individual's mental state. I trust you will retain call recordings from June 7th, 2026, I know I will. Good evening to you and yours.
-
tha Movement Noize Production (@JumaMhlanga) reported28+ days waiting for broadband from BT. Broken promises, poor communication, and still no connection. Completely unacceptable. @BT_UK #BroadbandFail #CustomerService
-
steven 🏴🇨🇱🇮🇪 (@weblivz) reported@bt_uk It says there is an issue in my local area. This should be a proactive service to my mobile to indicate there is an issue. Also, the diagnostic page just timing out is also an issue that needs fixed. Thanks for the number though, very helpful I knowing what is happening.
-
JamesWebb (@WebbyJamesHere) reported@bt_uk can you fix your website so people can actually log in! Put details in, get texted a code, put code in, go to look at acc & get taken back to password page… round & round 🔁 🙄 If you want people to pay their bills it’s quite useful to let them see their acc 🤨
-
Global_Mongrel (@Global_Mongrel) reportedWhy do some companies make it really difficult to contact and notify of an issue that will help their employees avoid fines or worse points on their licence? Especially @bt_uk. Not going to post the pictures publicly as don't want the crap that comes with driving issues.
-
Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported@bt_uk I cannot be the only person facing this issue, been doing it online for years, until the current bill.
-
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??
