  • nrjthompson Noel Thompson (@nrjthompson) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, My Internet keeps dropping since 2pm today, are there any problems in my area or is it due to the weather?

  • Jessica99977876 Jessica Hall (@Jessica99977876) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk that's what I understand from today's conversation Dee. Why this information wasn't available to your home moving team on 20th August does seem to suggest a communication issue? I've lost 2 hours since Sunday alone.

  • RobinsonEmily emily (@RobinsonEmily) reported

    @bt_uk @Nocternos I’m having the same problem. Parcel force, say they have never had it!

  • gillies_eve Evelyn Gillies (@gillies_eve) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. Hope you can help. Have reported a fault on my mums line. She has been told it will be upto 48 hours before an engineer is able to attend. She is very elderly and has a community alarm, which is obviously not working now. How can she get her phone and alarm working asap. Tnx

  • saorjim72 James R 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@saorjim72) reported

    @bt_uk It's not for me, I'm a support worker and one of my service users cannot afford the bill any longer, but they no longer have the capacity to go online etc to cancel

  • Timmsantiques S & S Timms Antiques (@Timmsantiques) reported from Flitwick, England

    @btbusinesscare you are to blame for this as well! And over 90 minutes on the phone to your customer service and order management team feeling like I am banging my head against a brick wall hasn’t helped either!

  • SteveLawrence_ Steve Lawrence (@SteveLawrence_) reported

    The @btbusinesscare chatbot has hung up on me. .. if you do have any further enquiries please feel free to get back in touch and we will be happy to help...' So what have I been doing for the last hour?

  • Jessica99977876 Jessica Hall (@Jessica99977876) reported

    @bt_uk it's taken umpteen telephone calls, 3 weeks and 2 cancelled appointments to find out that there's no room in the comms box. We've only moved a mile up the road - shocking customer service!

  • RyanJackMum MeMeMeMeMe73 (@RyanJackMum) reported

    @bt_uk could someone help me! Im having real trouble with my broadband

  • angeljudi Angie C ⚓🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@angeljudi) reported

    @bt_uk We have limited mobile access, with BT. This would be a short term fix but perhaps improving mobile coverage in poor coverage areas before working on fixed links would be a better idea? It seems that commercial business and tech is forgetting older demographic in UK....

  • dkj101 David Jeffery (@dkj101) reported

    @bt_uk Well I want the connection fixing... but 3 months and you can't get a stable connection... I guess I'll just cancel the direct debit and see if that gets someones attention..

  • dkj101 David Jeffery (@dkj101) reported

    @bt_uk Well I'm fed up of paying for a service I don't get!!!!

  • PeteHarrison90 Peter Harrison (@PeteHarrison90) reported

    @bt_uk I've tried to change my DD details again but itsnstill not working. Anyone able to phone me please

  • Jessica99977876 Jessica Hall (@Jessica99977876) reported

    @bt_uk it's taken umpteen phone calls, 3 weeks and 2 last minute cancelled appointments to find out there's no room at the [comms box] inn. It would be good to talk . . . Shocking customer service!

  • IrishMishra IrishMishra (@IrishMishra) reported

    @bt_uk @VodafoneUK BT is forcing us to continue our contract in new property supplying 15Mbps while Vodafone offers much cheaper packages at 100Mbps! How is this possible? BT solution was to use an Ethernet cable!

  • dkj101 David Jeffery (@dkj101) reported

    @bt_uk Great service!!! The engineer never came to the house, the fault says I said it was fixed.... spoke on chat who's says I need to arrange an engineer. If this is your best connection then I need to look elsewhere.

  • angeljudi Angie C ⚓🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@angeljudi) reported

    @bt_uk thanks for the digital changeover with no option to decline. Live in an area where VOIP required and home phone was for emergencies as mobile signal with any service provider non existent. So if internet down we now have zero communications.

  • Timmsantiques S & S Timms Antiques (@Timmsantiques) reported

    @btbusinesscare I believe a complaint has been raised already IMP-108395502 but its not going to be much help if nobody does anything about that for a couple of days. The install is still booked for Monday 13th, as I refuse to move it to 29/09 which is what you claim is the next appointment

  • sarah_church sarah (@sarah_church) reported

    @bt_uk hi, my internet strength has been getting progressively worse. Had an issue a few months ago, you were going to send an engineer but then I was told it had been fixed. Wi-fi currently not strong enough to stream TV or do zoom calls. I’m the sole user. Can someone help?

  • KerryKatG9 𝐾𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑦𝐾𝑎𝑡 (@KerryKatG9) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, Something is not right here my broadband is fully working but I have had hardly any Wi-Fi signal since Tuesday on my phone? And my network @EE signal is one bar. Having to use my data due to some error with BT. Not a happy bunny as its going to cost me a fortune!

  • IrishMishra IrishMishra (@IrishMishra) reported

    @BTCare just got off the phone to BT support and haven’t been this shocked in a long time! Their solution was just to not use my laptop while my husband uses his that way internet speed won’t be an issue! In an age of working from home how is this a viable solution?

  • nathanspackman Nathan Spackman (@nathanspackman) reported

    Hey @OpenreachHelp can you stop using subcontractors for your @bt_uk installations? The first couldn't find the building because, despite us being the only thing in the postcode. The second wasted the day, waiting for "support" just to feed cables above ceiling tiles. Sort it out
