    @btbusinesscare @ofcom The real bad thing is even if I wait the usual hour. I will have to do the same thing next week because the issue never gets resolved.

    @bt_uk Still no joy. Using both my phone and a desktop. Same issues persists. Happy to keep my existing appointment date but slightly annoying. I’ve made a note of your number, but perhaps this is an issue that needs looking at in the background as well.

    @btbusinesscare Thanks , but no one's been in touch - mind you , could be difficult on a phone system that's not working. Nevertheless , nothing received on e-mail either.

    @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

    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve told your complaint handlers I’m not spending one more minute of my time talking to anyone from BT. Even recalling any part of this mess will make me lose my temper and I’ve already spent hours. My monthly bills have gone from £125 to over £500. Why? BT has no answer.

    @bt_uk your website is so desperately poor. You offer a chance to edit my details and then you grey out the submit button, then you deny access to the page #hopeless #fail

    @btbusinesscare I am so disappointed with the lack of service I have received. We moved premises on 31/07/25 and to date still no broadband or landline. Disgusting, and you are still charging me monthly which should have been refunded. Your admin is disgraceful also.

    @btbusinesscare what does it take to get to speak to a person for business support. Can’t get online and report a fault but unable to speak to a person to get help. Shocking service 🤬🤬🤬
