  • gfrancomilano Gianni Frankis (@gfrancomilano) reported

    @bt_uk Slow broadband speeds very often (lowest being 13mbps) and being charged £13 a month over the advertised price on their site.. Cant even give the courtesy of dealing with a complaint...

  • stevengardner_ Steven Gardner (@stevengardner_) reported

    @bt_uk I know you guys get stick on the internet. But I've been a BT customer for several years now and never had a problem with my products / services. Keep up with the positivity and stay safe.

  • Fayemac11 Faye MacLeod (@Fayemac11) reported

    @bt_uk My small business is dependant on the 4 phone lines we rent from BT. Following a repair visit from BT to fix one of our lines we now only have 2 working lines and received a call asking if BT could close the repair!! Please fix the lines we pay for! #customerexperience

  • stuartgreen747 Stuart Green (@stuartgreen747) reported

    @bt_uk Just been told by one of your engineers that BT considers up to 5 failures of service per day to be acceptable. This is not the service that was sold to me. #btbroadband

  • Pamela30014600 Pamela (@Pamela30014600) reported

    @bt_uk This must be false! I have been with bt fot a month and had no end of problems. Changed my phone number without any communication last week and not been working since. Fantastic service

  • GD201201 DG (@GD201201) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, my WiFi has just stopped working again!? Is this an ongoing issue as it was sorted last night and has just stopped working again.

  • Fayemac11 Faye MacLeod (@Fayemac11) reported

    @bt_uk Apparently we now need to start a new repair request, despite being told by the engineer that they would need to come back to finish the repair (before we realised a second line was then down too) #CustomerService

  • sunkisscribbles Joy 🏳️‍🌈💙 (@sunkisscribbles) reported

    @bt_uk We phoned you guys last Wednesday to switch to phone and broadband. With the exception of a horrid letter from our current provider (even though the contract with them is well and truly up!), we haven't heard anything from you guys. How long until we get it in writing?

  • Essexbadger Chris Forster (@Essexbadger) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. It seems to have come back but with minor issues, such as a couple of emails missing.

  • McMurray_11 McMurray (@McMurray_11) reported

    @bt_uk is there a current issue with 4G? Was fine yesterday but today I can barely get any internet connection on my phone.

  • SciCommissar SciCommissar (@SciCommissar) reported

    @bt_uk Right now Sharon K my elderly parents would just like a phone line installed their broadband activated and at some point the TV service as well. You know, the things they're paying for that you promised to provide.

  • JonasAlderin Jonas C R Alderin (@JonasAlderin) reported

    @bt_uk Well I phoned your help desk yesterday , she was very helpful but I’m just shopping around now and will see what’s best, I’m just shocked that not one network can guarantee at least 30mb, for a home broadband service in the UK in 2021. Very backward.

  • HakalaManu Manu Hakala (@HakalaManu) reported

    @gemmaTheTeaLady @bt_uk No **** they don't answer when you call them at 3 AM

  • RoryLloyd6 Rory Lloyd (@RoryLloyd6) reported

    @bt_uk Why has my Wi-Fi gone down for the second time in not even a day absolute joke

  • aaronh1993 Aaron (@aaronh1993) reported

    @bt_uk we have no working phone line, which means no working Internet. When will this problem be resolved, I believe my neighbours, and others on my street have no phoneline either.

  • laurabr45152441 Kamakura (@laurabr45152441) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk Hello BT. My elderly mother is having issues with her billing for her broadband. She was originally quoted one price but the bill shows an increased price than the original agreement and which is now too expensive. Can you please advise what she can do?

  • ian_morg1 Ian (@ian_morg1) reported

    @bt_uk @Ofcom 63 days since I was initially supposed to have had my broadband connected. Was promised again it would be done today but again let down. How can a company of your size and stature within the market place have so much of a problem connecting some wires

  • lochs_and_glens lochsandglens (@lochs_and_glens) reported

    @bt_uk Worst Customer Service EVER.

  • KilnFirelinkAlt Lewd Kiln~ (@KilnFirelinkAlt) reported

    @bt_uk you're idiot adviser send my hub to my old address. Now what?

  • Justsum32062003 Justsumguy (@Justsum32062003) reported

    @KaiKuenssberg @bt_uk Yeah... This has got **** all to do with bt.

  • rodmckie Rod McKie (@rodmckie) reported

    @bt_uk Hopeless customer service. You've made it impossible to complain except by toing and froing on your website, and then you ignore the complaints. Bloody awful.

  • Zxchyyy Zach 🕗 (@Zxchyyy) reported

    @CorinnaKopf @bt_uk why is my internet not working????

  • _GAvalon RJ (@_GAvalon) reported

    @SquatBunnie @bt_uk Even if it's a Fibre break...That's a few hour fix time to splice a new fibre optic in, this is why I'll never go with BT, even when they ran the NHS network they where dogshit

  • rodmckie Rod McKie (@rodmckie) reported

    @bt_uk I won't go into it here, but I took on BT for a relative and I'm stuck for the remainder of 2 years with a service that is wholly unsuitable for her. Been complaining for about 9 months and told BT I won't discuss by phone because of my throat cancer.

  • vanesafit Vanesa Malpica (@vanesafit) reported

    I’m truly disappointed of the service provided by @bt_uk I have more than two months struggling with a la k of broadband and I need to work from home 😭 Are you trying to get me fired? Please, I can’t stand this anymore

  • laurabr45152441 Kamakura (@laurabr45152441) reported

    @bt_uk Hello BT broadband. My elderly mother is having issues with her billing for her broadband. She was quoted one price for her contract then the bill arrived charging an increased price Can you please advise what she can do to revert to the original price she was quoted?

  • FXTWO Finlay Ferguson (@FXTWO) reported

    @bt_uk Any chance of help with this? Still out of contract and paying far too much for too little. Tried sending a DM but just getting copy and paste answers in return. Getting close to just cancelling everything and going with another provider.

  • cmckrnn Catherine McKernan (@cmckrnn) reported

    Just me doing the angry customer service bit to remind you that @bt_uk broadband is atrocious and really make working from home a nightmare

  • JohnnyDuncan Johnny Duncan (@JohnnyDuncan) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t even get a stable connection in the room that contains the router!! - I’ve been a loyal BT customer for over 30 years, asked for some new equipment when I last renewed (currently have a 2 box old system) never turned up. I’m moving to another provider asap.
