    @bt_uk why do you make it so hard to cancel your products. It’s a disgrace and should be investigated by the CMA. Spent nearly an hour trying to find and then cancel my internet. Scum

  • DrP_Manc
    Dr Pauline Nelson (@DrP_Manc) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk. I have phoned the number. I’ve got it on speed dial. You constantly lie saying you will fix the line but you do nothing. You really are appallingly bad. No care for elderly customers without broadband. Formal complaint coming. Not that you give a darn. Appalling.

    @bt_uk please can you tell me why I can’t test my broadband speed please? Suddenly it’s not working when I go into our garden and it always has before.

    @btbusinesscare why am I STILL being billed when our service ended 17/7 and we’ve paid the final bill. Now being billed for another month. Your billing department manage to ***** up every time we’ve used BT.

  • chinleyman
    gary tordoff (@chinleyman) reported

    @bt_uk no internet AGAIN what is going on. Its nearly every day now, what are we paying for. Costing me to use my mobile data (Tesco) at least I can rely on that. How do I claim for the data I’m using and also a refund for not getting the broadband service I’m paying for?

  • ClarkeDdmthe1st
    shullup it worked out (@ClarkeDdmthe1st) reported

    @bt_uk now being told there’s a area fault that will take a week to fix?! A WEEK. Forget using this service and forget using @EE as providers. No urgency at all. Pathetic

  • TupperwareNFT
    NFTupperware (@TupperwareNFT) reported

    @mongrelcelt @bt_uk Don't call them, the slimy bastards will deny anything said on the phone. Raise an official complaint in writing. Send to their executive office for escalation. This is the exact reason I no longer have a bb contract. Had issues with 2 many providers. Now use pp SIM in 5g router

  • _JoshDenham
    Josh (@_JoshDenham) reported

    Hi guys, is there any reason why my Broadband Hub won't connect this evening? I've tried the usual off and on again, factory reset but no connection whatsoever! Please help? @bt_uk

    @bt_uk @Beji218888 Your service checker is saying your system is down and your service centres won’t have any more information. This is 2026

  • tringgooner
    Chris (@tringgooner) reported

    @bt_uk I think anyone would be unhappy don’t you? Messed around, then asked for a £20 deposit to that you will hold onto for up to 6 months. It’s a bloody disgrace. That is no way to treat any customer. And you know it.

  • gilesshaxted
    Giles Shaxted (@gilesshaxted) reported

    @bt_uk I appreciate the response. After three phone calls from your loyalty team or whatever they called themselves. I ended up switching to sky. You should genuinely treat your loyal customers better than the new ones. It's not okay.

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    @NorthernPeasant @bt_uk Are you sure someone isn't applying for a service in your name, maybe even a mobile phone?

  • derbydunk
    Dunc (@derbydunk) reported

    @bt_uk Hello. We got an email to say digital voice starts 20/7/26. It said we'd receive a code which we've never had and said an engineer would visit for switchover. Today we've received a new smart hub and phone. Is an engineer coming? Do we need a code? We're confused 🙃

    @bt_uk I’m still blocked from my btinternet email weeks later. Your customer care person said someone would call but they didn’t. How can I resolve this? I have important information in that email account and you’ve stopped me accessing it with no warning.

  • allhailtwit
    Allan Hailstone (not Alan) (@allhailtwit) reported

    @bt_uk Hi ... I have a fault ref. no. from 12 July but when I login to track it, it says not found or "access denied". I have no phone service at all and have heard nothing from BT by email. Please advise. Thanks AH

  • stevetaylor10

    I have to say if I gave my customers the same service that I'm receiving from @bt_uk I really would not have a business left.

  • WASNAPPER
    Martin (@WASNAPPER) reported

    @bt_uk At the third stroke I will have been sitting listening to your terrible music on hold for more time than is bearable. In the meantime my 85 year old mother is still without a useable landline, is 4 weeks acceptable to you?

  • jonbarnes10
    Jon Barnes (@jonbarnes10) reported

    @bt_uk you app, your website and your twitter account is useless. Dont bother having a twitter account if your answer to “my app is not allowing me to make purchases” is to download the app is the epitome of your customer service

  • Epsom1780
    GerryC🏇🏾 (@Epsom1780) reported

    @bt_uk That number doesn’t work for me! Automated and asks for various things except for what I need, which is updates!!!!! 9 days and no news!! What do I do now!? No one will help!!!!

  • wendholden
    Wendy Holden (@wendholden) reported

    Three days without phones or the internet after a tree fell and not one word to anyone in our Suffolk village from @bt_uk. The tree was removed today but no one came to fix the line so another day in the dark. Shame on you.

  • Bubbler_Ranx
    Lou Skunt (@Bubbler_Ranx) reported

    @bt_uk I've been on the fuckarse internet for 30 bludclart years. I don't need my ******* hand held. This **** is not important.

  • AnonEtc
    Rural Record (@AnonEtc) reported

    @bt_uk We did, Ian in Stockport told us exit fees fluctuate constantly...despite giving him the exit date! It's this overt complication, plus language (see the previous pic, "see how switching will IMPACT you"), against the ethos of Ofcom, which is why BT will lose customers and fail.

  • jellywellys99
    Mini67!x (@jellywellys99) reported

    @bt_uk I've spoken to them and like I said they ended the call because I can't see txt message or read bank card due to being partially sighted-please get a manager to call me or I'm happy to cancel my contract I was told by would be simple so far its been very stressful

  • Forex_trader_4u
    Macro Bielsa (@Forex_trader_4u) reported

    @bt_uk Exactly.. I have to call to cancel. Should be 2 clicks max once logged in. Just trying to make it difficult.

    @bt_uk please upgrade your mobile app. It is shocking. Can’t link to see accounts and payment set ups just buffer - awful

    @bt_uk After spending 5 minutes on your automated system I’ve given up, let’s hope someone sues you and may be your service will improve.

    @bt_uk Terrible service from BT. - No broadband service for 4 days - Broadband speed was less than 10Mbps since I moved in - Not been able to get compensation for either issue
