    @btbusinesscare waiting for 6months for a broadband connection utter disgrace. Saying we can’t cancel and just left in limbo while our business struggles. Worst company we’ve ever dealt with.

    @bt_uk I see other people are having problems logging into BT email. The status is "We’ll be right back. Sorry, but we’re doing some maintenance on the site at the moment. It should be back...in a short while." How can you be doing "maintenance" in the middle of a working day?

    @bt_uk why is your sales team pushing an elderly person with parkinsons to sign up for a new service. I will be calling tonight to sort this. Not happy

    @John210750 @bt_uk We are seriously considering switching, and nuts to the contract. This is awful!

    Apparently @bt_uk according to your customer service rep I can’t log in because I have an outstanding bill. Yet your text messages tell me to log in? It’s complete bull. Your customer service haven’t a clue

  • Scampicus
    mpc (@Scampicus) reported

    @bt_uk you have sent me around in circles while promising to get a person to speak to me. Blatant lying and disrespect for the customer!

    Whoever owns the local mast… @bt_uk needs to fix it because it is now constantly cutting out. I use my mobile phone as a landline too so it’s inconvenient. I have been with two networks and same issue so it’s deffo local mast.

    James Morris (@Jimmymo79) reported

    @bt_uk my mother in law is ridiculously overpaying for her home phone and broadband, your idea of rewarding loyalty was getting it down to £90! Still more than it shows on the website for an existing customer but the person I spoke to is no not calling back or replying to emails

  • EdEFC74
    EdEFC74 (@EdEFC74) reported

    @bt_uk The app no longer works but you still link to it on the 'My BT' account pages, which have just been updated. This is a known issue with the 'BT WIFI' app which I have discussed 3 times in the last year with your advisors. They do not know why it doesn't work just that it doesn't.

    @bt_uk Customer without a working phone line due to the upgrade to digital voice!

    .@bt_uk £37.44 Hilarious & insulting. 3 failed visits. 50+ calls to your utterly hopeless 'guides'. Multiple documented lies & broken promises. We have all the evidence, call recordings & video. We suggest you reconsider & seriously revise this pathetic 'compensation'?

    @bt_uk Is there a fault on your network in the LE17 area as there is no broadband

    @bt_uk the BT app is very slow loading pages!

    @bt_uk Thanks, but there has to be someone in BT who can fix an email problem? It might not be you, but there has to be someone?

  • e4290936
    jack250213 (@e4290936) reported

    @bt_uk After some investigation I posit this as a reason for constant delays in my broadband applications. 'If your automated systems are secretly scanning my IP address without my consent and blocking my service because I use a secure dedicated IP, that is a fault in YOUR system, not mine. I provided my real, verifiable details. Ask me—don't secretly track me'

  • JMarkDunlop
    Mark Dunlop (@JMarkDunlop) reported

    @Benleo @BTBusiness @bt_uk are very similarly disrespectful. Raised a formal complaint and they fumbled like inept foreigners who did not intend to care, and then suddenly dropped off a call but never picked my case back up. And that was 17 days ago ...!

    @bt_uk hi, I need a bit of help! I'm moving in July so need to cancel my service. I can't log in to My BT to do this, could I get some assistance with this please?

    @bt_uk why am I still waiting for an adviser to help me via your chat option on website. It's been an hour and 10 minutes so far. A bit ridiculous don't you think?

    @bt_uk I've called that number over 20 times, no chance I'm going to be put on hold listening to mindless muzak again. I need my service fixed so as I can move to another ISP. If it is not resolved within another 4 days, I will be going to a solicitor. I've had enough of your lies.

    @bt_uk what makes it worse is when my husband came down, he was polite as anything to him Yes BT, ladies do run businesses these days We deserve, and demand, respect

    @GrahamH36921247 @John210750 @bt_uk I was switched to EE from BT(no choice given) &they've been fine.However,new prices look awful and as at end of contract considering a switch. A locally based firm is doing fullfibre for very good price but problem is think it would involve digging up garden. Nightmare isn't it?

  • HamPeasyStottie

    @bt_uk please fix your app. I can't get out of the circular demand for verification and crazy requests to change my login email

    Doreen Grove (@redpath42) reported

    I recently changed my tv and bb provider from @bt_uk to @EE the system was supposed to be a straight transition withe same quality of elements but the EE system is rubbish and it is almost impossible to speak to someone to help

  • Simoncitizen
    Simon Smith (@Simoncitizen) reported

    @Alonso_GD Along with everything else. I have had to write to @bt_uk hard copy / snail mail because they cannot resolve issues with my #Landline digitally. However that was posted last #Wednesday 20.05.2026. Given the thousands and thousands of pounds they have extracted throughout my life?

    @bt_uk I have spent days trying to get email to work, My BT is not working, now I am told they have major ongoing problems! What have they done to tell their customers what is happening, nothing, yet they can still text to say the bill has been raised
