    @bt_uk The login process to my BT account this morning was a bad experience. 20 minutes to log in going round and round with the same security questions.

  • TEOL85
    The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @bt_uk . Do your job and fix it if it was a dodgy untested update send the routers a new one tonight 0:00-6:00 to sort out the issue or if it's your exchanges end fix it there or if you can fix it remotely just do it but fix it what if our phone lines go out on an important phone call

    @bt_uk Been over 7 days since team manager Dan promised me a same day call back due to multiple huge errors on your part, any idea what’s happening?

  • duncsand
    Duncan Anderson 🍃🔋⚡️🤖 (@duncsand) reported

    I called @bt_uk to cancel a service we're not using. The "guide" put me on hold for ages, then the line went dead, followed by an automated SMS asking what I thought of the service. Not very good is the answer!

  • garv25mittal
    Garv Mittal (@garv25mittal) reported

    @bt_uk I have called countless times…the issue is the appointment gets rescheduled automatically and there is no intimation. I have waited for 05 hours today just for your agent to say the appointment has been rescheduled to 03 May AM slot. I need this to be escalated immediately

  • Deano01973
    Dean Hazell (@Deano01973) reported

    @bt_uk Tried this and they say they now need 3 more days to resolve phone line being down. Really poor service and unacceptable.

    @bt_uk what are you guys doing to the internet in yelland so slow and constantly not getting up to the speeds we pay for

  • rachelleese84
    Rachel (@rachelleese84) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. Honestly, my husband has called at least 10 times. We’ve had multiple openreach visits. Each claiming to have fixed it but haven’t. Latest is tomorrow but I have zero confidence it will fix the issue.

    @tctantan @bt_uk @bt_uk a once great company is now CRAP so I’m not surprised by what you’re saying 🤙🏻 You should ask to see the itemised phone bill for the non existing service! 🤙🏻

  • Marcharris1687
    Marc Harris (@Marcharris1687) reported

    @bt_uk you are actually useless phones are down in our area when we rung you to tell you you were already aware but can't do anything or update you because the team are off until Thursday what sort of bullshit is that you only got one team to deal with issues

  • GloriaJudd810

    @countrymousie @btbusinesscare Got the same problem with sky- disk moved, so no signal, told to go to sky help on T.V that just tells you No Signal 😫

    Simon (@thfcsimonm) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve been trying to cancel a line for 8 weeks. You still haven’t done it. Absolutely disgraceful useless service. BT is probably the worst conglomerate in the UK

  • adarkelimited
    Adam Darke (@adarkelimited) reported

    @bt_uk you’ll be hard pushed to find a worse company than these guys in the UK. Appalling customer service, terrible turnaround times for installing, hopeless comms, mistakes everywhere and you always end up carrying the stress and cost. Go with anyone else.

  • MarkTheSnap
    Mark Howell (@MarkTheSnap) reported

    So, this new digital voice from @bt_uk If the internet is down you can't use your landline. Guess what, the internet is down so we don't have a phone. We can't get a mobile signal in our area, that's why we have a landline. This is progress apparently.

  • MrAndyMich
    Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported

    @bt_uk I’m absolutely disgusted, in this day & age of phone scams you have people phoning from unsolicited numbers about contract renewal (+44 1438 989233). All the person on the other end of the phone could say was “I promise I work on behalf of BT”. I said I can promise I’m the king of England. Do you see how stupid and dangerous this practice is? I think as a company you desperately need to review this, it’s dangerous and it’s making me think if you can be trusted at all. In this day and age it’s unforgivable to do this in this manner.

  • theGrimey
    Tobes (@theGrimey) reported

    @EE @EE your option here is to escalate this appropriately, such as @bt_uk did historically with a similar issue (and before this godforsaken merger saw such a decline in service quality) - or I shall opt to seek your executives out directly.

  • Red_ragtop
    Jeanette Masters (@Red_ragtop) reported

    @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.

  • Miss_Tasha_26
    natasha (@Miss_Tasha_26) reported

    @bt_uk I need help and you are telling me to use my app which the issue I’m having as the login isn’t working. I do not have time to call so unless I get help on here I will be cancelling my direct debit with you

  • DeborahBeb1o5
    Deborah Bebbington (@DeborahBeb1o5) reported

    @bt_uk Internet has been unavailable since yesterday morning, your tech bot is useless and now being told it’s a in-house problem even though it’s an area issue with everyone experiencing issues, been told engineers will be out Monday, there won’t be enough engineers mk

  • DerekDonkey1977
    Steph Murray (@DerekDonkey1977) reported

    @bt_uk That’s completely unacceptable Why can I not exit a contract for a service everyone says it’s not consistent with constantly dropping devices

  • rhondawainman
    Rhonda 💙 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@rhondawainman) reported

    @bt_uk Tried that and the customer service agents kept cutting me off. Waste of bloody time.

  • deborahsacks

    Oddly, their chatbot still isn’t dealing with the issue! @bt_uk @EE

  • ScottWeller1974

    @bt_uk Why are you holding me to a contract you can’t even provide the service for

  • tinkjlb
    JB (@tinkjlb) reported

    @bt_uk absolutely disappointing service from you! 4 missed installation appointments, 4 days of annual leave WASTED!!!! Please tell me how much annual has to be used before you will actually connect the service so I can have WiFi to work from home and watch tv? Exhausting!

  • SConwaySmith
    Simon Conway-Smith (@SConwaySmith) reported

    If @bt_uk/@WeAreOpenreach want to survive, they need their current customer service systems consigning to the scrap heap. They are simply unfit for purpose. Took OVER 1 HOUR to raise a service request online to repair a vandalized external fibre connection, it should have taken 5 minutes, then the wrong address was assigned to the case and an engineer 85 miles away called to say he'd be there in a few minutes 🥴 Give me strength!

    @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 Appalling service. You did not complete our installation on the 20th as promised, so we've been left with no phone, internet, and our security cameras and entry phone system are offline. Thanks

    @bt_uk I cannot find the option for online chat, I am disabled and need a reliable land land service, I use Starlink as my Internet provider.
