@bt_uk can you help? My 91yo grandma has been without a landline since 21/12, your engineer said its a major fault and cannot be fixed, "for weeks" but she's the only house experiencing it. She lives alone and doesn't use the Internet/mobiles so is vulnerable.

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk Customer service is not high on the list of priorities for most organisations. If they're not providing a service, are you not entitled to stop monthly payments ?

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk They've clearly not changed in over two decades when I fled from them and vowed never to give them a penny ever again. I'm sorry you're having to endure their inadequacies. I hope they sort it out soon.

@DreyfusJames @samjjones73 @bt_uk See previous post, we went back to sky. The viewing card on our sky box went on Boxing Day. Phoned them on Boxing Day, couldn't fix but promised that they would post out another. It arrived on the 29th. Great service from them

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk My family had a nightmare in 2021 with a new router, which was sold to us by a subsidiary company to BT. We had nothing but trouble with it, and finally got it replaced by BT directly just a few weeks ago. We also ended up paying way more than we should have, but got compensated

@adam__friend @DreyfusJames @bt_uk It`s not the owner it`s the router they supply that counts, BT has supplied terrible routers for years.

@bt_uk They’ll try to allocate an engineer and that I’ll receive some money back off my bill in 30 days. I’m paying for a service I haven’t been able to use since moving house 3 weeks ago.

@btbusinesscare @BTCare I am absolutely disgusted with the shocking service I am reviewing from you at the moment not even a courtesy phone call to say that the job is gonna take longer than it should of taken

@DreyfusJames @JustBusyWriting @bt_uk Today its usually fibre to the large green boxes (DSLAM) & then 🤞🏽 copper beyond. Unfortunately there is aluminium & even paper insulated wires still in the ground. Underground boxes flood easily especially after a storm, wires get rubbed down in the trees if it’s pole fed

@bt_uk Your guarantee is over 40mbs and this is a WIFI LAN connected reading. Been the same on and off for months, BT come & Openreach come & say no problem, it works for a while & then goes belly up. Given up on it ever being consistent, like promised, to be honest.

@bt_uk We were approached on our doorstep in November offering us full fibre - we agreed to switch, with an early January installation. We’re now told an engineer won’t reach us for at least a month; we’re without wifi and can’t do our jobs. This is pretty awful - can you help?

(@carolinesgreen) reported
@virginmedia We have patchy internet and it doesn't work on at least three devices in my house. They all worked fine with the last router so it is NOT our devices at fault. I am paying for an extremely sub standard service and am very very cross. Thinking of going to @bt_uk ASAP

Our broadband has been on/off daily since 16/12 but despite being given a fix date of 06/01 at 1pm this has now passed and the fault checker now says you are unable to give a new date. Can you give update confirm what compensation we are entitled to and how we claim it. @.bt_uk

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk It's why I ended up going with Sky. Not the best by any means, but had very few problems

@toucanjester @DreyfusJames @bt_uk We have fibre from the pole to our house (Swish fibre did it in our area). It’s more about the cable weight and the tension where it attaches which is the issue, as it was explained to me by BT. Had we been the house next the pole, a copper cable would have been okay.

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk As i was told by one of their own customer service the contract works both ways & you can use it to get out of it if they aren’t delivering the product you sign up to. Had a nightmare with them.

(@toucanjester) reported
@JustBusyWriting @DreyfusJames @bt_uk I left before fibre fed off the poles was the norm but more often than not the drop wires (as we call them) are vulnerable to the weather, tree branches & even squirrels (they will chew it to pieces).Even snow can pull them down to the ground.

@toucanjester @DreyfusJames @bt_uk They are too big. I pay through the nose for my internet now (a reseller of BT) just to avoid that level of service you've just experienced.

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk Ah I remember the bad old days of being with a provider who were shite - dropped signals and having to Ethernet ... treated with distain and only interested when I finally had enough and was moving on...

@toucanjester @bt_uk It’s funny you should say that. I’ve heard similar. The poor lad who was here the other day to fix it kept being rung by BT to push him to another job. He had no choice but to leave without finishing. He too wanted to leave them.

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk I had a bad experience with them in the summer, they out source their work to Kelly Communications. Don't waste your time with BT they will only apologise as they have no control over Kelly's and you can't contact Kelly's. I reported them to OFCOM they then had to contact me.

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk I sympathise James. I used to be an engineer with BT but left because quite frankly they were a useless company to work for.They care more about share holders, line manager bonuses & stats.Customer service, health & safety & employee welfare we’re seldom a priority

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk I have no contract with @bt_uk for the reason that I will leave as soon as I have a fibre alternative as they offer no fibre and terrible service - my sympathies!
