Stockport871 (@stockport871) reported@bt_uk Hello, yesterday I highlighted I needed some extra support and the reasons why are on my account. I had a message to direct message you and you’d get back to me but you haven’t, any chance of hearing anything back? I’m now 8 days over the promised call back from a serious issue.
-
Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reportedi’m trying and failing to report a broadband problem to @bt_uk - online is an endless loop to linecheck (fault found), chat message won’t open, phone sends to txt not a person, txt is a very long wait on a charged-for line. How does anyone ever contact BT?
-
Holly ®️ (@tctantan) reported from Exeter, EnglandAlmost a yr after i left...and im still getting emails and texts from @bt_uk telling me my bill is ready .. plus they never paid me the money they owed me #BT #EE make it stop
-
KG40 (@KG40332532) reported@bt_uk I already tried that. It continues to say that fault is on BT's side. Please fix this.
-
Ann Merrigan (@MerriganAnn) reported@bt_uk Phoned to cancel BT TVpackage, had ONE box since 2018. Guy said to send back TWO! I explained I don’t have two, he said I was complicating things and to phone when I get the pack to return them. Your website says it doesn’t need returned as had it since 2018???? Clarify??
-
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.
-
bakerbird (@cakey12) reported@bt_uk been trying for 3 days now see my bill. Please don’t tell me you are not aware of any problems. How about telling me how this can be resolved. You emailed to say bill is available ……. All I get is 3 dancing dots !!!!!

LadyBlues The question is always Cui Bono? (@Ladyblues666) reported@TweetForTheMany @bt_uk @EE I switched away from Virgin because of connectivity issues. Hope yours is better.

J (@JLingy69) reported@bt_uk Already did that and nothing got done. Give me your formal complaint process

John E (@John210750) reported@GrahamH36921247 @bt_uk Sign in sign out codes verification text message , at the point of ARGH 😡
-
Keith (@MaloneiD) reported@Ofcom I have evidence BT won't let customer complaints get to 8 weeks, so they cannot be reported to the regulator. BT closed out 3 complaints I made, without reference to me. One was closed within hours of being raised. Are they permitted to do this? @bt_uk @MartinSLewis #slamming
-
Sad Banana (@SadBanana9999) reported@bt_uk @ah_potts What “cache what cookies”?? All other apps working just fine. I cant log in BT only. I have been trying for ages! You have sent a bill and I cant access it . Really terrible service😡😡
-
markdann. (@mrkdnnx) reported@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!
-
Ann Palmer (@AnniePShoreham) reported@bt_uk No I won’t do that. I have spent far too many hours of my life at various times over the last year trying to get this sorted. Please pass this to the complaints team - the agent I spoke to on 5/3 promised to sort it. Another epic fail.
-
Adam Darke (@adarkelimited) reportedAnother 3 hours on phone to @bt_uk today. Still unresolved, still no call back from manager, still no email as promised from bosses. Comfortably the worst customer service in the UK.
-
Mark Howell (@MarkTheSnap) reportedSo, 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.

keely (@keely490544) reported@bt_uk absolutely diabolical log in **** with BT now . email, password, code to email & code to mobile WTF
-
Larissa Collins🇱🇹🇮🇪🏴 (@CollinsLarissa) reported@bt_uk So you’re making an upgrade I never asked for and it’s still cost me over an hour on the phone because you can’t get your appointments in the right order. I don’t care about your rigid systems - I’m the customer. I care even less that ‘AI did it’ - you trained it.
-
Patricia Kidd (@Patrici34058203) reported@bt_uk I do not want this 2 step verification your webpage indicates it’s easy to turn off but there’s no provision to I’ve now got problems accessing emails on my PC as well as extremely slow broadband is this on purpose? Your advisor was useless.

Nscale (@nscale) reportedLast 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. 🧵

Glo 🏴 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 (@Glo_Thienel) reported@bt_uk Hi. I have done that, cleared. Called the number which button to press, as it's all about products, not help with online account?

keely (@keely490544) reported@bt_uk disabled discrimination. made complaint. respond to complaint by CALL BACK ONLY what about millions who can't use phone, deaf, stroke, speak issues etc etc etc. disgusting
-
Jac Dee 🇺🇦 (@Jacsplace3) reportedFinally, a customer service employee from @bt_uk is taking ownership of my complaint. Apologies offered by her. I have requested a timeline of everything to identify human error in ceasing the account. Agreed a plan to reinstate broadband & get a refund from @EE @BBCWatchdog
-
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.

Trevor Chenery (@Krisp06) reported@countrymousie @btbusinesscare I wouldn't have thought so. You can keep your landline but you would need to move it -eventually - to a 'digital supplier' when the line service finally ends. However, I checked with Dr Google & his Elves & they made the following points which sound like very good news. "Starlink does not directly provide a traditional copper landline service, but it can fully replace one as part of the UK PSTN switch-off by supporting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. You can keep your existing phone number and handset by using a VoIP adapter connected to the Starlink router, suitable for replacing old copper lines. How it Works: Starlink provides high-speed internet, allowing you to use third-party VoIP providers (e.g., Plexatalk, Premitel) to make calls via your internet connection. Requirements: You will need a VoIP Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA) to plug your existing telephone handset into the Starlink Wi-Fi router. Suitability: VoIP over Starlink is ideal for rural areas where copper is being removed, offering sufficient speed and reliability.Alternatives: If you do not wish to use VoIP, you may look at mobile phone-based solutions, which are also often used when replacing old copper lines. As the UK moves towards a digital-only network by 2027, switching to a VoIP service via a broadband connection like Starlink is a common solution." You need to find & check it al lout with a good IT man to help you through the key steps & stages. You may also need to invest in new telephone hand sets around your house to replace your old BT ones. You won't need wires to connect them, it all works digitally through the air.

𝙲𝚊𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚡𝚎𝚛 (@catallaxer) reported@omotforest @bt_uk @openreach Fully accept your point. However, you are missing out. 1 gigabit+ speeds really are worth it. 2.5 gigabit is next. You will never get that over copper or satellite. Copper is being phased out.

julian hines-dedman (@dedmans) reported@adarkelimited @bt_uk It takes days to speak to someone in a far away country then you discover they have made two other accounts in your misspelt name and then decide in the ether that you broken those contracts and swipe £460 from your bank account!!

CG2009 🦓🦓 (@CatherineG2009) reported@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.

Joshua Beider (@JoshuaABeider) reported@bt_uk no service since 6pm Ryde, IOW. tried everything reboot, turn on/off. Confused as to why as there’s no outage being reported however the text AI service is saying there is?? ? Sort it ouT BT

Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported@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
