    @abigbat @virginmedia @bt_uk I had a similar problem in the States. Took a month for the installer to show up only for him to say there was a tree blocking the point-to-point.

  • RichLeadbeter Rich Leadbeter (@RichLeadbeter) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks BT once again for your terrible service. Ongoing issue with Broadband and phoneline since the summer of 2021. Problem identified but as you need to replace an entire section of cable you won't fix the issue... Still no resolution.... SORT IT OUT!!!

  • DeclanS_Byrne Declan Byrne (@DeclanS_Byrne) reported

    @bt_uk If I cancel and go with someone else will that stop you removing our ability to 999?

  • GantsMill Greg Beedle (@GantsMill) reported

    @bt_uk treat their customers with contempt. Their ‘customer service’ is a bad joke.

  • lozbertie Laura Burton (@lozbertie) reported

    @bt_uk had one of your engineers out today to fit fibre cables not only was he rude , talked to me like I was stupid , he didn’t want to put where I asked as it was more work he did eventually ,The box is not secured well in house as I went to clean up the mess it fell off

  • Martin76x Martin - (@Martin76x) reported

  • QuincyStarFox QuincyStarFox (Foxy) (@QuincyStarFox) reported

    @bt_uk hi my grandma is having issues with her house phone when she rings the house from her mobile it comes up with an answer machine saying that she's chosen to avoid certain calls but every other mobile phone can ring her house with no issues can you help?

  • MichealsEllen Jude Brimble-Rainbow (@MichealsEllen) reported

    @bt_uk When will I get my landline service back? Its been a week now.

  • therealloubags Laura Seymour (@therealloubags) reported

  • someotherfella1 ToriesLie (@someotherfella1) reported

    @bt_uk My service has been down over a week. I get a 4g replacement that does not reach the whole house and does not allow my BTtv to work either. I have complained but got no response. Nor refund.

  • ukb00tlegs ukb00tlegs (@ukb00tlegs) reported

    @bt_uk it’s nice to know you’ve closed my complaint. Why? What’s the outcome? Coz as usual. Nobody wants to talk to me. The paying customer

  • SallyJiggles Sally Jiggles 3.5 % 💙 🇪🇺 (@SallyJiggles) reported

    @DavidTYork @bt_uk If BT offers it, I usually find those who use BTs network should. Maybe try the bigger providers own website, such as Sky.

  • DeclanS_Byrne Declan Byrne (@DeclanS_Byrne) reported

    @bt_uk So if the broadband is down and someone in the family suffers a heart attack, we just lie down and die because you decreed it?

  • chcnny ? (@chcnny) reported

    @bt_uk did a broadband trouble shoot via your website and it states there’s an issue with my connection but i’m not sure how to fix it and i can’t seem to live chat

  • I_S_H_Y_ .:ISHY:. (@I_S_H_Y_) reported

    @bt_uk Why do your staff hangup calls? Been on hold twice for well over 25mins for some idiot who’s probably working from home, who can’t be bothered answering calls to just hang up. Really frustrating

  • Lenderz Lenderz 🙈🙉🙊 (@Lenderz) reported

    @DavidTYork @bt_uk Not a fan of the man (or the tech in this instance) but I’m considering it, we’ve been looking to move more rural and it might be the solution. Star link latency isn’t that bad at around 20-30ms I believe. Not as good as FTTH but rather good.

  • Danny64526453 Danny (@Danny64526453) reported

    @bt_uk Internet down again in PO16 area. Come on BT. Thought you had the best internet. Never had this in the 4yrs i was with Sky.

  • Chris_Stroud Chris Stroud (@Chris_Stroud) reported

    has anyone else been made by @bt_uk to change their broadband modem to then find the speed and connection is now ****? 😡

    @DavidTYork @bt_uk We've just changed over to Star Link ( Elon Musk's) We tried every other provider - all poor

  • about_jon Everybodys_Talking_About_Jon (@about_jon) reported

    @bt_uk unhappy with the service I’m receiving from BT, they keep passing me about and not sorting my account. Clearly my custom means nothing to them as clearly there not reading my notes or BT advisors are not updating them properly 😞

  • RobinHood2022 Robin (@RobinHood2022) reported

    @bt_uk anyone seeking a new broadband provider AVOID #BT AT ALL COSTS!!!! They have zero customer service, inflated prices and treat people like s**t. Go anywhere but BT to save yourselves time and costs #shitservice #avoidBT @itvMLshow

  • DeclanS_Byrne Declan Byrne (@DeclanS_Byrne) reported

    @bt_uk we've just received a letter saying we are being 'upgraded' to Digital Voice. Except it's not an upgrade at all, as we lose the ability to call emergency services if your dodgy broadband goes down. I'm amazed this is being allowed. Can we say no to this dodgy switchover?

  • bazs1979 barry standen (@bazs1979) reported

    Absolutely disgusting service from @bt_uk. Ordered a second phone system for new business premises only for them to not even turn up to install. After calling all day been cut off twice then emails getting ignored. So no internet for opening and don’t even know our new number. 😡

  • AndyJHolvey AndyHolvey (@AndyJHolvey) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Hi, an OpenReach engineer visited her and was actually very helpful. He informed her it was a very quick fox but @bt_uk need to do it. However, @bt_uk are a bunch of sales people who have zero interest in fixing the problem THEY caused.

  • willcurtis Will Curtis (@willcurtis) reported

    @btsport Still not working!

  • DavidTYork Darth Omicron 👾 ☠️ 🍥 (@DavidTYork) reported

    @Lenderz @bt_uk For streaming - yes. But three gamers in the house - no. And not being a fan of Musk doesn't help.

  • xtomthederpyx xTomTheDerpyx (@xtomthederpyx) reported

    @bt_uk Your broadband is terrible

  • chrisjontaylor Chris Taylor (@chrisjontaylor) reported

    @bt_uk what should’ve been a simple broadband upgrade & add on tv after cancelling Sky has been poor customer experience. Had a fault for a month, called BT every day about it & had 4 engineers not show up so still not fixed. Hybrid EE is poor as unable to watch BT tv package
