    @Concledoc @btbusinesscare This is beyond stupid now.

  • Concledoc Annaleena Piel Linnå (@Concledoc) reported

    Received an infuriating phone call from @btbusinesscare this morning, telling me not to worry, as my number was still active with the previous service provider 😳 How many times do I have to explain that ALL SERVICES ARE DOWN SINCE 9 JUNE?! 😡

  • Grassy85 Christopher jones (@Grassy85) reported

    @bt_uk The hybrid box is pointless it doesn’t ever work as an extender so it just sits there with blue lights doing nothing, would imagine if the internet went down it wouldn’t work either

  • Tofflee Clare (@Tofflee) reported

    @bt_uk Any idea when the broadband issues will be fixed please? My dad is in Somerset & hasn't had any coverage since earlier this afternoon.

  • AdamTheGorilla The Gorilla (@AdamTheGorilla) reported

    Hey @bt_uk. What’s the craic if a consumer is in contract with you but moving to a house where the same service they’re in contract for is no longer available? i.e. FTTP for example?

  • Andrew_Queens Andrew Queens (@Andrew_Queens) reported

    @bt_uk having issues with my broadband it just stopped. Working I reset it multiple times and switches it off n on etc but seems to be having issues. :/. Was watching @CW_Riverdale

  • squishybugbutt Gina (@squishybugbutt) reported

    @bt_uk wifi has been down for hours

  • cazzie_k Kaz (@cazzie_k) reported

    @BTCare absolutely shocking service. 4 days to sort out a bill that was your error. Numerous calls and still no broadband. 100% guarantee I don’t think so!

  • alicejridgway Alice Ridgway (@alicejridgway) reported

    Just had my now almost daily call with @bt_uk. On hold for ages to find out the address on my account has not been updated and it's basically like the conversation I had yesterday (and Friday...) never happened. Waiting for a call back (we will see if this actually happens). Eugh

  • sherbsvilletv 🌳 🌱 sherbsville 🌱 🌳 (@sherbsvilletv) reported

    @bt_uk hi i sent a dm, as my internets slow. pls can someone look into it? ty

  • hovemonkey Katie Humphreys (@hovemonkey) reported

    @bt_uk Hardly. It's just " nothing is happening, we will chase up next week". I mean if we knew what the issue was ...

  • bi_george_ Georgia (@bi_george_) reported

    @bt_uk Your telecoms customer service staff are very rude. My partner has had 8 phone calls relating to a prior workplace and has asked each time for his details to be removed from the system. This time the lady put the phone down on him when he was saying it was frustrating. 😡

  • Thee_SteveJones steven jones (@Thee_SteveJones) reported

    I’m replying to @bt_uk - but terribly slow as only on mobile

  • dkj101 David Jeffery (@dkj101) reported

    @bt_uk This isn’t good enough 50 network failures in a month with no explanation no root cause provide and no confirmation of a permanent fix.

  • StuartParkinson Stuart Parkinson (@StuartParkinson) reported

    @bt_uk There’s a fault that Open Reach have been unable to fix for over 2 weeks and today the unbreakable hybrid has broken down and is impossible to connect. It’s marketed as unbreakable ?!?

  • AndyGibsonTV Andy Gibson (@AndyGibsonTV) reported

    @BT_UK Any idea when your system will recognise my account and let me sign in?

  • suemckeeks Sue McKichan (@suemckeeks) reported

    @bt_uk Have just upgraded my BT TV package on advice of one of your team i order to get @alibi_channel but I can’t find it even after retune. No ch312 as suggested. Can you help please?

  • SaumenPanda Saumen Panda (@SaumenPanda) reported

    @bt_uk Astonished to read your response. Did you predict that BT will fail to turn it around in promised time? They have already failed once - originally supposed to be on 19th. Today I am told repair will happen on 27th. WILL IT EVER BE FIXED?

  • dkj101 David Jeffery (@dkj101) reported

    @bt_uk I'm getting fed up with my fibre connection constantly falling down. It been down 50 times in the last month for anything from 4 minutes to 8 hours. And your hybrid connection is rubbish, it isnt seamless as I lose any work Im doing. when are you going to sort this out?

  • LucieCrowley Lucie (@LucieCrowley) reported

    Would not recommend @bt_uk to anyone!! Moved house on Friday and booked internet for 23rd. Assured it would be sorted considering needed to work from home and today we still have no Internet and can't get it until the 2nd September 😡😡😡 customer service has now hung up too...

  • IanEnvironment Ian Perry (@IanEnvironment) reported

    @bt_uk Lesley, see above. Your companies disrespect for my time is as bad as the disrespect for people with disabilities. Read above I was promised that this unlawful obstruction of the highway would be taken care of at the start of August. The guy responsible doesn't want to do it.

  • HespShirley Shirley Hesp (@HespShirley) reported

    @BNTeesside With all the problems ongoing and no one seems to care about the customer. Looks like @bt_uk I'll be going back to @VirginMedia

  • rach_jeffers Rachael Jeffers (@rach_jeffers) reported

    Hey @bt_uk can you tell me why my internet drops out every Tuesday? Always in the middle of a client call too! Tried to report but always told there’s no problem…#HELP

  • NicholasHayman Nicholas #StopSIM 💙🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇸🇮🇨Ⓥ🌹 (@NicholasHayman) reported

    @bt_uk Not yet. Aren’t we meant to get unlimited mobile data with Halo when our broadband goes down?

  • _JonathanStreet Johnny Street (@_JonathanStreet) reported

    @bt_uk, I'm having broadband issues at the moment. I have a mini hub, can I just turn it on and use it - or will I be charged or is any other setup required?

  • DebbieBennettPR Debbie Bennett (@DebbieBennettPR) reported

    @BTCare so the twits at BT send an internal engineer when they know it's an external problem - no words!!

  • hovemonkey Katie Humphreys (@hovemonkey) reported

    @bt_uk placing an order to move home service for the beginning of July and we are galloping towards the end of August with still no internet. Just "update" after "update" with no information other than the next "update" will be next week. It would be funny if it wasn't tragic

  • SaumenPanda Saumen Panda (@SaumenPanda) reported

    @bt_uk Please pay me compensation and let me move out of this mess called BT. It’s more than enough. I will never be a BT customer in my life.

  • JulieBlakley Julie Blakley (@JulieBlakley) reported

    @bt_uk My daughter and I go homeless on 30 August because my landlord is selling. We likely have to move into homeless B&B and BT want me to pay off the 18 months I have left on my bb contract to cancel even though there's nowhere to move service to. After 10 years of custom.

  • Tofflee Clare (@Tofflee) reported

    @bt_uk The issue was reported at 1445 but it says no time available for a fix.
