Eddie Crouch (@EddieCrouch) reportedAfter 30 years with @bt_uk I have switched to @SkyUK for my broadband phone and TV package . A £40 per month rise was the reason and an almost identical service for 50% less . Wonder how much I have lost by not switching sooner ?
-
GG (@G1NG3R_N1NJA_13) reported@bt_uk I’ve done all that. It’s not working. Apparently it’s now a fault.
-
Carol Lord (@CarolLo58903853) reported@bt_uk And I've missed 2 calls this afternoon due to my poor mobile signal. But no message left or any info.
-
Stephen Sharples (@sharpysharps) reported@WeAreOpenreach And then there is @bt_uk who are just beyond useless and unable to get any info at all on the problem after being kept on hold for an hour. Absolutely tinpot from both companies.
-
heebee (@KHC99d) reported@Nunney2584 @bt_uk Don’t expect BT to help
-
Anthony (@LookingBack22) reported@juliandc @ClaireMadMax @bt_uk Same here. Now reliant on a broadband connection requiring power. Not progress. iPhone has emergency satellite connection though.
-
@CyberHusky (@PetecoleO) reported@bt_uk Given up waiting to discuss issue you have caused! Will remember this at contract renewal time.
-
heebee (@KHC99d) reported@bt_uk How about you deal with our problem - any assistance, a human who understands and is willing to sort out mother’s broadband issues after weeks and weeks of nothing would be appreciated.
-
Large Vodka (@mizmuggle) reported@bt_uk have had no broadband since 25/8. fault tracker says it’s fixed but running a check on it says network fault and the expected resolve date keeps getting pushed back. Can’t get anything other than a bot on phone or text. I work from home and this is not good enough
-
Sem Essessi (@SemiEssessi) reported@bt_uk your customer service has gone right down the drain. your entire automated system is made of options that assume a million things that are not true for me. its just infuriating and you keep wasting my phone credit by failing to do basic back office jobs. call me ffs.
-
Professor Bu’Ger De Fino ™️🥶 (@maskcempt) reported@maisiethetortie @NLeespeaking We (@bt_uk) have to ‘send a text’ to the 3rd party mobile phone that IS working, so we can continue this conversation about the actual BT landline not working. We’ll spend the next 15 mins sending silly codes to the only WORKING telephone !
-
Kati (@Nunney2584) reported@bt_uk Hi, my internet has been down all day and it's driving me crazy. I've unplugged and restarted the router and it still has a yellow light flashing and a red 'off' light on. I don't watch terrestrial TV, I use a fire stick for everything and I'm running out of mobile data.
-
Mark (@Walesguy2) reported@RSh234 @bt_uk @bt_uk are shockingly bad.
-
Carol Lord (@CarolLo58903853) reported@bt_uk is there a broadband issue in some areas this pm? The call delay suggests yes. I can't stand at the top of the garden for 90mins to wait for a call back from you and 'WiFi calling' indoors obviously isn't working. Very frustrating 😕
-
heebee (@KHC99d) reported@bt_uk It’s not just that. A job that’s been promised to be done, constantly let down and nobody is sorting it out. Unbelievably poor service
-
Robin Shaw (@RSh234) reported@phillyonskem @bt_uk Totally agree. Literally hours on calls to ‘Guides’, only a few of which actually help, processes which ignore issues and no recourse without escalating to the Ombudsman!
-
Ed Thomson (@ThomsonEdwint) reported@JimSpenceDundee @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk It’s Circet that seems to be doing installations and doing a good enough job on the track but won’t repair damage done by mini digger to the road when finished. 🫣
-
the ranger ✝️ (@theranger1872) reported@JimSpenceDundee @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk Holy ****. I knew you’d had an issue but that’s unreal. Just build costs of your time and inconvenience into the estimates. Or simply include an invoice for your time and services.
-
Alice (@SushiWolfo) reported@bt_uk But I had an email for digital voice saying my service is going to 67mbps when I'm on the Fiber 100 package
-
Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported@bt_uk @shelliephair From my experience, complaints are not dealt with by BT at Sheffield - they are closed without resolution. It makes me two annoyed BT get away with this. How do I escalate an unresolved complaint. It is not a frivolous complaint.
-
Amai Chong Memes business (@AmaiChong_ninja) reported@bt_uk Our thoughts are with the people who used BT’s service and found out: •Hidden charges are everywhere. •The app is useless and has no interaction with the company. I’ve messaged you 6 times now with no reply. Scammers
-
💙Climatecrisisbeliever🐴🦄❤️ 🔸🌎🔥 (@buzyizzy21) reported@bt_uk WHY HAVEN’T YOU RESPONDED TO MY COMPLAINT FROM 13/8 AND NOW YOU EXPECT ME TO PAY TWO MONTHS FOR 10 DAYS SERVICE? TRULY APPALLING!!NO COMPENSATION OFFERED, A WHOLE MONTH WAITING FOR YOU TO SORT YOUR **** UPS OUT!! AND YOU EXPECT ME TO PAY!! TRULY APPALLING!! OMBUDSMAN NEXT.
-
Emma (@Emma_coyne73) reported@bt_uk why do you not notify your customers via text when there’s a fault in the area? All other companies do, water electricity etc so why can’t you. Broadband been down all day & not a word from yourselves to your customers
-
World of Wonder (@brazenchart) reported@bt_uk Ridiculous , 0330 123 4150 rings and then just cuts off. Switching due to being overcharged and slow network but cannot get hold of anyone.
-
Steve 💙💚🏴 (@Superfx101) reported@bt_uk Hi, thanks for the quick reply. That's what I did but they were significantly higher than what a new customer is offered. Is my only option to get the best deal is to switch provider? If so, then unfortunately I will have to do that.
-
Even The Stars Music (@eventhestarsuk) reported@bt_uk hey. Why are you charging me £84 for a package a new customer can now get for £35 and the best price you can offer me is £65 with a 24 month contract? Ripping off long-term customers is a very bad look
-
Large Vodka (@mizmuggle) reported@bt_uk I’ve already done this. It’s says network fault and the date for resolution keeps getting pushed back. It’s not acceptable and can’t get through to an actual person on the phone.
-
Warren Peters (@wizza_wozza) reported@LeilaniDowding @EE It’s a joke, especially for vulnerable people living in a rural area with little mobile signal. @bt_uk recent performance has been pathetic with an elderly friend who has no wi-fi, getting on for 2 weeks with still no fix in sight.
-
m (@nerzia_) reported@bt_uk is so bad wow
-
Changeling64 (@64outsider) reported@bt_uk The line itself is working-which those who I've spoken to can't understand-it's the phones ringtones, as a result of their line upgrades, which are now not working. Parents are pensioners. I bought their phones 4-5 yrs ago. We're not made of money to replace them again due to BT!
