    @bt_uk can you provide best contact to make a complaint please. I am not a customer, however I am concerned about a recent upselling tactic with my elderly vulnerable aunt when she phoned regarding a line issue.

    Last month we announced our plans to work with @bt_uk and @nvidia to bring sovereign AI infrastructure to the UK. Deploying up to 14MW of NVIDIA-powered compute across three BT sites, connected by their national network, with all data remaining within the UK. 🧵

    @bt_uk are an absolute joke. No internet and we get told “we have done everything we can, just keep restarting your router.” How about you actually attend to look at the issue because ever since you moved the router it’s awful!

    @bt_uk Why bother??? You only close them when you don't know how to fix the problems you make!!!

    @bt_uk I’m not in a position to call anyone at the moment… I notice I still cannot access my BT account with an email address I’ve used since 2018. Nothing is working as it should! Could you email me with a solution please.

  • afcdonnilad
    AFCdonnilad (@afcdonnilad) reported

    Formal complaint incoming. @bt_uk @EE @OpenreachHelp Order placed 6 April ahead of house move on 15 April. Install promised 22 April. Now pushed AGAIN to 5 May with ZERO explanation. Repeated 48hr “updates” that deliver nothing. No broadband, no TV, no smart devices pt1.

    @bt_uk Excellent service from Brian at your call centre BT when I called, got everything I wanted and possibly TV from you in a few months

    @bt_uk calling itself 'customer centric ' grates with me after an internal transfer of my broadband went horribly wrong, then four hard searches on my creditworthiness and three attempts to get BT broadband and a TV package also successfully completed by phone after a time on the phone that I regret all fell through with no explanation or apology. Customer centric? You are having a laugh BT!

    @TweetForTheMany @bt_uk @EE I switched away from Virgin because of connectivity issues. Hope yours is better.

  • AlexaOByrne
    Alexandra O'Byrne (@AlexaOByrne) reported

    @simboman @stokeygurl @bt_uk Could not agree more! During my many calls with BT I’ve been told this is affecting tens of thousands of customer accounts. Waiting for my paper bill for which BT “kindly waived the £3 fee”. Luckily, I’m “out of contract” and hence able to move to another provider.

  • Fliposteo
    Philip Godfrey (@Fliposteo) reported

    @bt_uk I haven’t been able to access my account or log in on the BT app for days/weeks despite following instructions to change user name etc. the system sucks. Can’t through on the phone How do I get my bills if I can’t log in?! For a communication company this is a (bad) joke.

    @bt_uk I've never set foot in Cyprus, I just used a free service on the internet that gives you free access to texts for random numbers all over the world. And it worked.

    @bt_uk Can you tell me how I can cancel my elderly fathers account please. He's now permanently residing in a care home and shan't be returning home.

    @bt_uk you’ve emailed me saying I can view my bill, can’t get into my account. Is there a problem with your website ??? Been like it all day and I’d like to see my bill !

  • UppaRocket
    Rocket (@UppaRocket) reported

    @bt_uk can't get into my account ever since you updated your system, so my bill is now overdue due to your issues

  • GFX2001
    Ian Robson (@GFX2001) reported

    @bt_uk I have spent hours on the BT Website and BT Community Support systems trying to find an answer to a simple Digital Voice question? Can you connect two analogue Phones to the Green Socket on the back of the BT Hub using a two into one Phone Socket adapter?

  • Gizmo83508413
    Gizmo (@Gizmo83508413) reported

    @bt_uk Done that already. I might be going mad here. It's your sodding website. It shouldn't be down to me to chase a fix ETA on a fundamental problem you have. This should be information on the website and with you, surely?

  • Caldale58
    CM (@Caldale58) reported

    @bt_uk is there ever a day when your products actually work for a whole day. If it's not the unstable app continually throwing you out, it's accessing MyBT. Why does anyone stay with you. Totally exasperated again.

  • MattHopkins1620
    MattHopkins1620 (@MattHopkins1620) reported

    @bt_uk are committed to excellent customer service, they say so when you ring them. Then they say they're very busy and they promise to speak to you within 20 minutes or you could ring back. Hint, excellent customer service starts with answering the bloody phone.

    @bt_uk you then went onto confirm to refuse to cancel the Digital Voice appointment even though your records show the telecare equipment hasn’t been upgraded yet and that the notes say I’ll be in touch when it is. Rep went on to say we might be left without a line, like a threat

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @bt_uk 2/2 Subsequent calls & one did say there was 'a known issue'. Called before i went away & made a complaint that as I said earlier, was reported closed almost immediately after confirmation email said it was being processed

    Vae Vix 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 (@VaeVix) reported

    @grok @bt_uk For ease of use, especially for a low risk case like that, I mean at worst hackers can pay my invoice (cool) or change my plan (less cool but of no interest to them and easily remedied), something like Google validator could be an alternative.

  • ChrisWall85
    Chris Wall 💙🧡 (@ChrisWall85) reported

    @bt_uk can't log in via the website or app. Sends a code to my email (fine) then to my mobile which it never accepts. The screen just never progresses? Known issue?

    @btbusinesscare Not helpful really. Any business needing help has to wait for Tuesday. Absolutely useless service. Currently experiencing THIRD week this year of broken service. Bank holiday should be my busiest time, but I’ve had to close. 0/10.

    redginger44 (@redginger44) reported

    @bt_uk I have raised a complaint and you already wish to close it I can’t access my account and realise I am paying more for BT sport I don’t have the time to make phone calls and clearly I am not valued as a long standing customer I left EE for same reason.
