    @bt_uk I’ve tried that twice. It takes 20 minutes to get through and then I’m sat on the phone a further half hour while your operatives ‘ look into it ‘ and then promise the problem will be resolved. Each phone call is over an hour !!!

    @bt_uk Referring someone to Ofcom when you won’t fix your own issues is not a solution

    @BillSco747 @KeoghsLaw @bt_uk Hi Bill, I am really sorry to hear that damage has been caused to your property. Whilst this is never our intention, I understand accidents to happen. All of our damage claims are dealt with by Keoghs. We cannot see the status of a damage claim here. You can email them at (1/2)

    @bt_uk Can’t believe this. Obvious misdiagnosed as both neighbours and ours routers going down. Now I’ve had an email to say my router is being delivered…. to next door.

    @btbusinesscare Can you dm me the correct number to call? I’ve just sat on chat with Avik for 45mins and it’s been cut off !!!! Your customer care is horrendous!! 🤬😱. Can you get someone to call me ? As you must have my mobile number on record !!!

    @bt_uk . Online Radio Stations based in Wigan and St Helens and Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea have also gone out at random times so it's in multiple areas as well are BT even on the problem fixing why the whole countries internet is going out at random times at the moment?

  • TruTruThinks
    Tru Benjamin (@TruTruThinks) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness appalling breach of service. 4 dates have now passed where we were told broadband would be fixed. BT seem to think this is acceptable as 'it's subject to change' How are we supposed to run a business with no comms!! 4 weeks & counting

  • ScottWeller1974
    Scott Weller (@ScottWeller1974) reported

    @bt_uk Why are you holding me to a contract you can’t even provide the service for ?

  • JSads1983
    James Sadler (@JSads1983) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you, but these were engineers, who wanted to gain access to my home even though I hadn't approved a visit. When asked for ID, they became rude. They left and then attempted to come back later. Again, with no ID or any official looking job sheet.

    @bt_uk If your take the time to check & converse with each other you would see that several people have all been in touch saying the same thing ! Obviously it is a problem your end. Giving me another reason to leave

    @bt_uk Tried that and the customer service agents kept cutting me off. Waste of bloody time.

    @bt_uk hello BT. I was a BT customer for years but was shifted onto EE. I have a broadband package with them and 2 sim only deals (originated as BT sims) If I change back to BT would I still get the mobile discount with EE being the same as BT or would that change??

  • TEOL85
    The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @bt_uk . Do your job and fix it if it was a dodgy untested update send the routers a new one tonight 0:00-6:00 to sort out the issue or if it's your exchanges end fix it there or if you can fix it remotely just do it but fix it what if our phone lines go out on an important phone call

  • thfcsimonm

    @bt_uk I’ve been trying to cancel a line for 8 weeks. You still haven’t done it. Absolutely disgraceful useless service. BT is probably the worst conglomerate in the UK

  • DerekDonkey1977
    Steph Murray (@DerekDonkey1977) reported

    @bt_uk That’s completely unacceptable Why can I not exit a contract for a service everyone says it’s not consistent with constantly dropping devices

  • Staggly
    Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported

    @bt_uk are you not contractually supposed to prove a bill? if you won’t let me log in to my account or let me reset passwords etc to get access and still can’t fix this issue after a week surely that’s breach? i will cancel my direct debit until i can access my bills

  • thereal_JOC
    John O'Connor (@thereal_JOC) reported

    @bt_uk Still no joy. Using both my phone and a desktop. Same issues persists. Happy to keep my existing appointment date but slightly annoying. I’ve made a note of your number, but perhaps this is an issue that needs looking at in the background as well.

  • nickinoonoos
    Nix's (@nickinoonoos) reported

    @bt_uk why can we not talk to an operator anymore, dyk how, annoying it is, when no one will pick up the call and you have no WIFi for 5 weeks now and all I get told is "there's a network error" Well sort the issue, you are quick to take payment, which I will be claiming back

  • SConwaySmith
    Simon Conway-Smith (@SConwaySmith) reported

    If @bt_uk/@WeAreOpenreach want to survive, they need their current customer service systems consigning to the scrap heap. They are simply unfit for purpose. Took OVER 1 HOUR to raise a service request online to repair a vandalized external fibre connection, it should have taken 5 minutes, then the wrong address was assigned to the case and an engineer 85 miles away called to say he'd be there in a few minutes 🥴 Give me strength!

  • afcdonnilad
    AFCdonnilad (@afcdonnilad) reported

    PT1 @WeAreOpenreach Formal complaint incoming. @bt_uk @EE Order placed 6 April ahead of house move on 15th. Install promised 22nd. Now pushed AGAIN to 5 May with ZERO explanation. Repeated 48hr updates that deliver nothing. No broadband, TV, smart devices — for nearly a MONTH.

  • ChrisWall85
    Chris Wall 💙🧡 (@ChrisWall85) reported

    @bt_uk can't log in via the website or app. Sends a code to my email (fine) then to my mobile which it never accepts. The screen just never progresses? Known issue?

    @bt_uk you’re a ******* JOKE i cant take this anymore. i haven’t had solid service for over a month since joining BT, and today i can’t even talk to a real person cos you say someone will be in touch and hang up? i want to get out of this contract, get me off now

    @bt_uk I do not want this 2 step verification your webpage indicates it’s easy to turn off but there’s no provision to I’ve now got problems accessing emails on my PC as well as extremely slow broadband is this on purpose? Your advisor was useless.
