SeanMynyddLlangynidr 🏴 🇮🇪 🇵🇸 (@SeanLlangynidr) reported@bt_uk I must have spoken to at least a dozen guides over six weeks, spent well over 20 hours of my time listening to lie after lie after lie, and crap muzak. Being told that I have informed BT that problem has been fixed three times is sickening. I've got absolutely nowhere. I'm done.

Caroline (@snowlingc) reported@bt_uk Your missing the point, your engineer installed full fibre today but it is still not working after 7 hours of flashing pink
-
Keith (@MaloneiD) reported@Ofcom I have evidence BT won't let customer complaints get to 8 weeks, so they cannot be reported to the regulator. BT closed out 3 complaints I made, without reference to me. One was closed within hours of being raised. Are they permitted to do this? @bt_uk @MartinSLewis #slamming

Vae Vix 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 (@VaeVix) reported@bt_uk Your new "2FA" is completely broken as the phone number is not validated. I was able to connect using a temporary number in Cyprus to get my "security" code... It adds nothing to security.
-
Grub Street Publishing (@grub_street) reported@bt_uk We've already raised a complaint. But nothing has happened and your billing department hasn't done a thing. Your incompetence is breathtaking. Glad we've moved elsewhere. Just get our bill cancelled or next step Ofcom

Kenta (@nemurikyosirou) reportedHello @bt_uk. I cancelled my broadband service BEFORE activation and within the cooling-off period. However, I’ve been incorrectly charged £33.99. This is unacceptable. If this isn't refunded immediately, I will escalate this to the Communications Ombudsman. Account number is

Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported@bt_uk @NRManc they’ve messed up everyone’s account - it be worried they are taking money from old customers so check your bank - they aren’t acknowledging the issue

RaeRubyRae (@RaeRubyRaeK) reported@bt_uk You do sell customer info and I can prove it! So I can’t use the app unless I give you my mobile number is that what you’re telling me? There’s no other option?
-
Tommy (@leopardtommy) reported@bt_uk hi BT, I’m still awaiting a response re: my complaint. This is nearly two weeks on and you’ve done roughly NOTHING to connect me to your network.
-
Abbie Ruth Sharland (@AbbeyGale99) reported@bt_uk hello I’m in year one of my two year contract but need to terminate my contract from this September for university. Will I be charged for this?

Mark Haynes (@IQuitMuskspace) reported@bt_uk Why bother??? You only close them when you don't know how to fix the problems you make!!!
-
bakerbird (@cakey12) reported@bt_uk been trying for 3 days now see my bill. Please don’t tell me you are not aware of any problems. How about telling me how this can be resolved. You emailed to say bill is available ……. All I get is 3 dancing dots !!!!!

Stockport871 (@stockport871) reportedMad how the internet has gone down in Wrexham and Luton on the same day. They are usually so active around this time. @bt_uk any ideas?
-
Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported@bt_uk @arthur_mp after an hour on hold they said they had an issue and would fix in 72 hours - it’s been a week and now they aren’t answering
-
Holly ®️ (@tctantan) reported from Exeter, EnglandAlmost a yr after i left...and im still getting emails and texts from @bt_uk telling me my bill is ready .. plus they never paid me the money they owed me #BT #EE make it stop
-
Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reported@bt_uk Thanks for this @bt_uk - i did manage to speak to a BT *human being* and the problem is outside my home, BUT the process has triggered BT to book a fourth appointment to connect me to fibre. I’ve had three engineers who say it is impossible - Grade 2 listed house in a conservation area; cables would need multiple way leaves, no practical cable access to my house which is permitted by Grade 2, difficulty of routing inflexible cables once inside. I’ve accepted this, fibre cannot be installed to my home. How do I cancel the engineer and not rebook the engineer appointment which has been set up? There appears to be a lock on the system where it can only be rebooked even by BT; cancellation is absolutely impossible. Should I try a letter? Any phone process doesn’t work as operatives are not authorised to cancel but can only rebook.

Stockport871 (@stockport871) reported@bt_uk Told “it’s not working, it’s been like this for months and we can’t fix it, loads of people are having this issue”. Talk about customer service 🤯🙈

Despite endless calls and attempts to get help !’ @bt_uk cut off again transferred then told no information on their screen , started details again now cut off again as lines close at 6pm this is a business account !!! We don’t close at 6 !!
-
George Somerville (@geosomerville) reportedWiFi over the last couple of months has been shocking. @bt_uk installed new socket, router etc still bad. Decided to change suppliers but according to BT I don’t have a landline or broadband package with them! This would be fine if I wasn’t paying them £70 a month! Can I find someone to help at BT? No I can’t……
-
Jessica (@Jessica67669786) reported@ArmchairAdml @bt_uk this elderly gentleman has been a loyal customer for many years. He is now out of contract paying an extortionate price. Surely you can assist him in obtaining a reasonable priced package for his needs, and perhaps issue a refund for out of contract price hike?
-
Gary Banks (@Banksie_FB5) reportedStunningly inept service @bt_uk. 3 wks 2 install full fibre culminating in them saying my router’s incompatible & they’ll send a new1 promising arrival Mon. Mail just recd; it’ll arrive Weds & seems 2b the same as I have! Meanwhile I’m w/out internet & paying 4 the privilege.

Sian (@SianElin_PT73) reported@bt_uk Did you read my message correctly? I do not have signal to call!
-
DemonicSuccubus (@MissSatanism) reportedNah @bt_uk you’re having a laugh. They finally turn up nearly 3 hours LATE! Why is it so difficult for you to have HUMANS answer a phone? Stop automating your **** with AI voices and options. It’s a piss take.
-
MattHopkins1620 (@MattHopkins1620) reported@bt_uk are committed to excellent customer service, they say so when you ring them. Then they say they're very busy and they promise to speak to you within 20 minutes or you could ring back. Hint, excellent customer service starts with answering the bloody phone.
