  • StaceySyiem S.S. (@StaceySyiem) reported

    @bt_uk Scamming company , advertising subsidised phn & broadband pkgs for the poor but still charging them full amount!!!

  • RobOfEarth6 Rob (@RobOfEarth6) reported

    @bt_uk Hi shambolic organisation. I was sent a cheque for £80 for the sheer amount of time I’ve spent on the phone with problem after problem. The cheque has bounced. This needs sorting ASAP.

  • iRipp_1 Ripp (@iRipp_1) reported

    @JRyderGaming @bt_uk Ever since I used out mate and got bt myself not had 1 single problem and speeds are very good

  • Livelaugh2020 Michelle (@Livelaugh2020) reported

    @bt_uk The line is copper and its crap because you won't upgrade it. Its also been ripped down by a farmer in October and you've yet to fix it

  • DanielCraft94 Daniel Craft (@DanielCraft94) reported

    @EchoesEm @bt_uk @Plusnet Wish i could say them same, i placed an order 120+ days ago with BT and all they have managed to do is leave me with no service from a takeover to themselfs, useless

  • Darryl_Saunders Darryl Saunders (@Darryl_Saunders) reported

    @bt_uk You are becoming a joke. You offer a great deal to stay with you instead of switching to Sky. Then say I need to cancel my (currently 24 month free) Now TV subscription then I can take your offer. I do this then you take the offer off the table. Screwed me over. Fuming

  • CharlesRousse1 CharlesRousse (@CharlesRousse1) reported

    Silently screaming as my twice fixed broadband almost grinds to a halt again @bt_uk Home schooling and home working has never been so fun

  • DanielCraft94 Daniel Craft (@DanielCraft94) reported

    @bt_uk Over 100 days ago I placed an order and you left me with no service for months.

  • fnlewis_ fnlewis (@fnlewis_) reported

    @bt_uk @LinkedInUK cringe **** company

  • darrenjadams Darren Adams (@darrenjadams) reported

    @bt_uk The problem is that they call me when I'm on work phone calls, but it takes me more than 30 minutes to call back and get put through to the right person, which I don't have time to do. It would be helpful for someone to text or e-mail me to agree on a time to speak.

  • josey_watkins Josey Watkins (@josey_watkins) reported

    Worst service ever received @bt_uk just been cut off after 1:27 on hold. Promised 3 callbacks since Nov-Never received. Can’t resolve my complaint/low speed as can’t ever speak to a manager even though not getting my guaranteed speed they promise. How do they get away with it?

  • chrispe35 Pearcey (@chrispe35) reported

    @bt_uk Still waiting! Told Engineers would turn up today (29th Jan). Once again a no-show. Starting to believe you want me cancel my FTTP order so you don’t have to pay any compensation as per Ofcom guidelines!! Shocking service.

  • OneScouse Brian (@OneScouse) reported

    @bt_uk You have no answer to my problems so turn it in. Can’t wait for the contract to finish

  • scarerkite Sarah Knight (@scarerkite) reported

    Hi @bt_uk - our internet has gone off and our Service Provider say they can't run remote tests and need to send an engineer (Tue earliest). One of your vans is parked outside - have they disconnected us by accident?

  • JacquelinePye Jacqueline Pye (@JacquelinePye) reported

    Already moaned about scam @AmazonHelp automated call saying an iPad ordered from my account. Then today, THREE of them. Especially irritating as we’re awaiting an important call. Tempted to cancel @BTCare landline (due for renewal) but then scammers will get my mobile number.

  • ianlearly Ian Learmonth (@ianlearly) reported

    @EE @btsport I've had an issue logging into my online account for the last 2days. 2 chats with tech support , a Dm to yourselves and a call to 150 and still not resolved. One attempt at resolving this resulted in me logging in and getting someone else's plan and phone showing. Shocking!

  • Sharonkuhl Sharon Ducker (was Kuhl) (@Sharonkuhl) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk HELLO AGAIN JUST AN UPDATE WITH MY MOTHERS ON-GOING PHONE ISSUE (& YES I AM SHOUTING) her phone was due to be connected in OCTOBER 2019-various errors by YOU means even after an engineer visit yesterday we are no further forward. MY MUM IS 77 & NEEDS HER HOME PHONE #POOR

  • Farah_Lou farah says (@Farah_Lou) reported

    over two weeks without internet in my house now. 3 adults and 2 schoolchildren have been working solely off 4g hotspots. NEVER use @bt_uk or anyone that uses @OpenreachHelp . they are utterly USELESS.

  • winternip1983 Steven Moore (@winternip1983) reported

    @bt_uk Soon as I can get out of this stupid contract with @virginmedia I will

  • PhysicsRachel Rachel Sian (@PhysicsRachel) reported

    @bt_uk appalling service today. My partner, a key worker, used one of his few days off to wait home for a delivery, you missed the appointment and then told us it was rearranged to 1/4/21 because of covid. Couldn't you have told us about this before we called you? #badservice

  • camilla1965 Milly (@camilla1965) reported

    @bt_uk still trying to reduce my Bt monthly package £110 for bb land line and mobile. Sticking point is 24 month contracts which Bt can’t or won’t amend, or reduce canx charges they are looking at options to help folks who are loosing their jobs @MartinSLewis @angellicabell

  • HebdenDown Debbie (@HebdenDown) reported

    @bt_uk Honestly I’ve never had such appalling service , an 84 yr old who lives alone losing her phoneline which is her lifeline, through no fault of her own . Demands for money not owed, the list goes on and on

  • stor196 stores (@stor196) reported

    @bt_uk so you keep sending me text messages asking to call you because you’ve cocked your my order....but then when I do there’s a 45 minute wait on the phone!!! Disgraceful service all round really!

  • Miss_Cherry_B_ Bea Smith 🇬🇩 (@Miss_Cherry_B_) reported

    Credit where it’s due @bt_uk, I got a text this morning informing me that yesterday’s issue was resolved and so far, that does look to be the case. I will keep an eye out, but as it stands now, I would like to thank you for sorting things and not dragging it out 👏🏾

  • millak19 Milak (@millak19) reported
