BT (British Telecom) Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
John (@palacejohn) reported@bt_uk Incorrect. Tried but the same useless system. Finally successful by using option to leave BT. Straight through to a human being, strange how loss of customers is more important than giving good service.
-
Nikki (@Nikki_Lou1922) reported@bt_uk We didn’t receive a bill! Direct debit was set up yet you never took any payments just discounted my services and added a late payment fee! Your error not mine! Yes it’s only £7.50 but it’s £7.50 that shouldn’t have been added to the bill!
-
Jacki (@SportyOsteo) reported@bt_uk can you please update me as to when the phone lines will be back up and running in SS177BW No 149 has my elderly relative without a phone line and no communication for over 12 days. She has a help line that obviously works off your system. Many thanks. Jacki
-
Elton Murphy (@eltonmurphy) reportedHey, @btbusinesscare , our Business Broadband has been down all morning. Please check your DMs. Your website has been no help at all, sadly.
-
nicolas mcmillan (@herbie963) reported@bt_uk Online service recovery is a joke, get a senior UK manager to pm me please
-
Seán (@mylastsatoshi) reported@bt_uk Hello. A customer of yours in Ireland had their internet disconnected yesterday. The reason was down to a missed payment while they were in hospital. Payment was made in full this evening, two hours before your people left the office. All three of your agents were made aware of this individual's mental state. I trust you will retain call recordings from June 7th, 2026, I know I will. Good evening to you and yours.
-
Nige Crooks (@Nige78) reported@btbusinesscare Broadband down in TS1?
-
Rod Robson (@rodrrobson) reported@bt_uk On line service wasn't very good I disconnected overnight. When I woke up I plugged it back. It's now returned to blue. All good thanks.
-
H (@surkdidat) reported@bt_uk Im hard if hearing so cannot phone as have difficulty in understanding. Have you got an email address so I can put in an official complaint. You insist I return equipment i didn't need or want. You promised a returns bag would be put in with the new hub and it wasnt.
-
trevor rhodes (@trevjrho) reported@bt_uk Having a really poor experience with the switch to Digital Voice. Included being sent inaccurate information, wrong switch over date, I've now been unable to receive incoming calls for 3 days. Latest news 'should be resolved within a further 3 working days'. A thread 1/2
-
DJ Dinamique 🇫🇷 🏴 💙 (@DJDinamique) reported@CarersUK @bt_uk What I don't understand is now @bt_uk are moving people to VOIP (because that's what it is) they still have that idea that you can only have an hour free even though if you hang up at 59 minutes and call again it remains free. It feels like a trap.
-
Robin Shaw (@RSh234) reported@bt_uk @charl32647 That’s part of the problem. In my recent experience they didn’t help on most occasions, only when I chanced upon one good one. They just consumed huge time and frustrated.
-
Janey Sinnett (@JaneyJaney77) reported@bt_uk what is going on with btinternet? I can’t access my emails, currently in a lengthy queue for online help
-
Rural Record (@AnonEtc) reported@bt_uk We did, Ian in Stockport told us exit fees fluctuate constantly...despite giving him the exit date! It's this overt complication, plus language (see the previous pic, "see how switching will IMPACT you"), against the ethos of Ofcom, which is why BT will lose customers and fail.
-
Keith Stewart (@lovemymemo) reported@WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk said they can’t turn it on before Monday! Please help!
-
Karen ♿🌞💐 🇬🇧 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇪🇺 (@MrsXXV25) reported@bt_uk I can’t see anything to describe what to do if the modem LOS light is red. This level of customer service is unacceptable. I’m physically disabled and it’s incredibly painful for me to get low down enough to see or work on the modem. Wish we’d never joined BT.
-
Digger (@JohnKaysCanoe) reported@bt_uk is there a reason why my broadband goes down at 02:15 every single night without fail?
-
LisaF1 🏁 (@lisa7514) reported@DeborahBlythe @bt_uk BT are useless!! Had an engineer booked in today to sort out our tv and WiFi , he turned up at the front door said I haven’t got a tool for that as mines broken and walked off .. 😡😡😡
-
Andrew Glover (@thequestingvole) reportedJust cancelled my @bt_uk broadband and TNT sport contracts after a half hour verbal ding **** with one of their team in Belfast questioning my decision making and slagging off my new supplier as 'I've never heard of them'. Stay strong folks.
-
Joey (@laggyteabag) reported@bt_uk Im helping an neighbour try to log into their BT account. They've set a password a dozen times, and they can log into their BT emails on a browser without any issues, but trying to log into the BT app flags an incorrect password error. Is their any guidance for this?
-
Si (@SimonHealey73) reported@bt_uk Your app doesn’t work, the speed checker is still not working and your bot keeps asking me the same question. I’ve had a fault logged since the 27th and the checker just keeps adding one day to it, with broadband well below guaranteed levels. It’s really poor.
-
Not Now Dave (@not_now_dave) reportedMy broadband service is up soon and was possibly looking at leaving my current provider. Now @bt_uk, @EE and @Plusnet have now added a setup fees they can do one
-
Alice (@alpinefaery) reported@bt_uk I have access now, thank you to the nice BT man for helping me! 🙏🏻 And sorry again for losing credit and cutting the poor man off :( I felt so bad!
-
Shoshanah Cohen (@sc2987) reported@bt_uk Don't imply she's just changed her mind. Your staff deliberately bamboozle people. They are told to. Consider this a complaint, and send her a copy of the audio recording (I know you can't send it to me without her permission, but believe me, I will be listening to it).
-
John Adams (@JohnAdamsEbble) reportedWhat a totally negative experience calling @bt_uk has been. I’ve been trying to cancel an order for a month without success. 12 calls, endlessly on hold listening to appalling music. NO ONE seems able or willing to revert the order. Complaint ref number C10003089417 @Ofcom
-
Dr Pauline Nelson (@DrP_Manc) reported@bt_uk @bt_uk. I have phoned the number. I’ve got it on speed dial. You constantly lie saying you will fix the line but you do nothing. You really are appallingly bad. No care for elderly customers without broadband. Formal complaint coming. Not that you give a darn. Appalling.
-
Ramnish Kalsi (@ramnishkalsi) reported@bt_uk you have one of the worst set top boxes ever. Keeps glitching and restarts on its own. I was told it was WiFi issue but connecting via Ethernet plugs that you provided hasn’t fixed it. I am in a contract - what ar my options ? I don’t want to go to the ombudsman (yet).
-
Damon Cochrane (@DamonCochrane1) reported@bt_uk @ee Both My BT or the ee app won't let me track my order. Both apps are crap.
-
Katy Nicholls (@Its_Baby_K) reported@bt_uk my business Wi-Fi is down and the only person who is authorised to talk to you (my manager) is away indefinitely. We need Wi-Fi to function please help.
-
LillithVexx (@LillithVexx) reported@bt_uk I was hoping to chat online because my phone is playing up right now but there is no way of talking to anyone. I just want to manage my bloody hub but BT gave me a stupid EE hub so now I can't use the My BT app or the EE app to manage it???
