  • gussi11 Lee (@gussi11) reported

    @virginmedia tried to retain your broadband service but your CS is SO BAD i was given no option but to go over to @bt_uk who gave me a fantastic deal and were a pleasure to deal with. Sort your CS out and you might actually retain long serving customers!

  • Lois8990 Lois (@Lois8990) reported

    @bt_uk why does my box keep losing signal?? Well annoying.

  • Glo_Thienel Glo Thienel 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿#BringBackBoris (@Glo_Thienel) reported

    Hi @bt_uk Shout out for Robert in Warrington office. Called to ? my increase, and phone line as been customer since 1969. All sorted with better deal. Mobiles moved to EE better signal & deal Well done pls pass on

  • Lord_Stubby Adam (@Lord_Stubby) reported

    Sigh, @bt_uk putting the prices up again, despite no change in service. Just plain greedy.

  • rgeleit Ryan Geleit (@rgeleit) reported

    @bt_uk awful service. No internet and it has been over a month since it was meant to be installed. Very little idea when it is going to be fixed. Please try and shed some light as to when this will happen

  • chaisebleue63 Michael (@chaisebleue63) reported

    @McDermottQC @bt_uk Such 'negotiations' seem par for the course these days. When I recently tried to renew my 'all in one' Virgin contract, it took several attempts before they offered a deal which I was happy with. I suspect such business models rely heavily on customer inertia.

  • wonderwoman2k WonderWoman (@wonderwoman2k) reported

    @bt_uk @LancsBusRT @btbusinesscare Hi, I have done but we're just a #BT residential customer not a business.

  • stephen501 Stephen (@stephen501) reported

    @btbusinesscare All sorted but not impressed with customer assistant before the one o dealt with

  • staffordlatic Martin (@staffordlatic) reported

    @bt_uk No thanks. I managed to get my wired network working and then could do a live chat with someone to help with the rest

  • Jane55781787 Jane (@Jane55781787) reported

    @bt_uk can customer service please get in touch to contact my parents that have recently moved & have totally been let down by your service! They want to stayed with you to be loyal but have been left totally confused & paying for things they don’t want or need

  • antoniofrank82 antonio (@antoniofrank82) reported from Brentford, England

    I regret so much in have hot CK tract with @bt_uk , they have promised my internet on last Friday and since that everyday is a new excuse … and always “sorry” honestly I horrible how they make us to feel useless #badcompany #barcustomerservice 😤😢😤😢

  • MSwarrior46 Rob D ♿️ (@MSwarrior46) reported

    @bt_uk internet down in NR18. Conflicting responses your portal says not fault @BTSopenreach say Outage but neighbours have internet, think someone being economical with truth

  • AllanIrvine1 Allan Irvine (@AllanIrvine1) reported

    @bt_uk is there a problem in the Aberdeenshire area AB12 area. My broadband keeps dropping out for upto 5 mins at a time. Never happened with previous supplier.

  • Plugs2 Plugs (@Plugs2) reported

    @bt_uk Yes very disappointing and no one in customer service has any ability to make and alterations to offers available or be flexible on contract terms. But I guess BT are just happy to lose loyal customers

  • mookstar10 mookstar* (@mookstar10) reported

    @AlphaEnaz @btsportufc @btsport The PPV ain’t free, we already buying the service for all the others abou way. And most start at 3am, it’s not a good deal

  • McDermottQC Gerard McDermott KC (@McDermottQC) reported

    Tbf to @bt_uk I got a much better deal this morning. Great service (and sales) from Abbas at their Accrington call centre

  • RikaruUK Martin Seed (@RikaruUK) reported

    @bt_uk Just had one of your agents tell me they'll call back in 15 mins due to tech issue on your end.. 1.5 hours later... Still waiting. Poor.

  • wonderwoman2k WonderWoman (@wonderwoman2k) reported

    @btbusinesscare Hi, the entire #BT network is down for customers in the LA3 area of #Morecambe please can you reboot the big box?

  • Philcoops Phil Cooper, Etm (@Philcoops) reported

    @bt_uk what happened to the Broadband guarantee in every room my internet has been "OFF" all afternoon. How many more times do I have to put up with this crap service.....

  • BURNLEYJOHN1 BURNERS.⚽🔔🔚🇬🇧 (@BURNLEYJOHN1) reported

    @BT Just got a letter from the above. They put it up again, how can they charge us more for the world's worst internet speed. It's worse than DIAL UP from the 90's. You are an embarrassment @bt_uk . One night last weekend we got the dizzy heights of 9mb/s. 🤯

  • Chr1sLew1s Chris Lewis (@Chr1sLew1s) reported

    Thanks @BT_UK for trying to solve @Doro mobile connectivity in Derby for my mum: one request, please give me the option not to listen to your blaring music on hold - not what you want when struggling to solve a mum-connectivity problem!

  • bph73 Ben (@bph73) reported

    @bt_uk So my neighbour can sign up now for "Full Fibre 900" and pay £55.99 for the next 12 months, and I have to pay £62.68 a month for the same service? Is that treating customers fairly? Shouldn't we both be paying the same price? @TheFCA

  • Businessyorks Business Yorkshire (@Businessyorks) reported

    .@bt_uk Hi Your company service is the worst that I have known in 30 years of being in business. I am being charged and chased for a service that I have never received. The account has been sent in a DM I have called on 7 occasion to sort but to avail. Please call us.

  • kayb2710 Kay Aldridge (@kayb2710) reported

    @bt_uk My issue is that your loyalty team think it’s ok to charge two pensioners to buy out their contract when they’ve had to go into cared for accommodation due to my Mum’s advancing dementia. £129 is a significant amount to a pensioner. They asked me if I was happy with that! NO

  • SeafloorScience Dr Rachel 'worm girl' Hale (@SeafloorScience) reported

    Lol @bt_uk rang my mum to tell her they were going to ring her this morning to help fix their internet issues and did they ring? No.

  • BenedictBureau Muttleys Plane (@BenedictBureau) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel your extortionate service but your agent is not listening and I have been on to them for 15 minutes arguing why I should not leave! I am leaving because @bt_uk is £794 a year cheaper for better deal.

  • LadyReenz Reena (@LadyReenz) reported

    @bt_uk We can make calls fine. There is only one number who tries to call us and can never get through so not sure if they were blocked or something?

  • FatGamerHoe Lv 99 Futa ****** (@FatGamerHoe) reported

    Today I learned 💃 that the cost of the copper network that @bt_uk runs into our houses is worth more then the company itself. Like billions more 💰🤑

  • bonniepirate Katie May (@bonniepirate) reported

    @ConsumerCouncil can you advise? - we switched to @bt_uk back in June not realising they didn't handle the cancellation of our @virginmedia service (which was out of contract) - now being hounded by debt collectors for a service we ceased using 😩

  • andreaswheeler andreas wheeler (@andreaswheeler) reported

    @bt_uk I ‘upgraded’ to halo 3+ internet from BT, I got a nice hybrid modem, ‘to help if the internet goes down’ a week later I’m told I have to return it otherwise I will have to pay for it? So I’ve sent it back. How come I have to send something back that I’ve paid for already?
