  • christophercmc2 Chris currie (@christophercmc2) reported

    @bt_uk After being on live chat for 30 mins you accept there is problem but I have to call but faults BT can’t do it, half hour and still waiting

  • ZacRace Zac (@ZacRace) reported

    @bt_uk I need to make amendments to my bill. It's costing me far too much money, could you help with this at all?

  • 22Lynsey Lynsey Ellis (@22Lynsey) reported

    @bt_uk my parents have had 3 prices from 3 calls on contract renewal with a lot of confusion. @NOW will provide the same product for the half the price. Why is it so difficult to provide clear information? Awful service from a supposed top brand. Poor show.

  • GianniSereno Jon (@GianniSereno) reported

    @Ofcom @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach Thanks I’ve done that already. Just feels like the telecomms giants are not being regulated and are allowed to treat customers who can’t go anywhere else for a service when it comes to the next level down from BT, Sky, Vodafone etc..horrendously

  • DaveThePepper Dave Pepper (@DaveThePepper) reported

    @eddiemcgarrigle @bt_uk Do you know what the actual issue was last time?

  • pres_biden4 Biden4PRES (@pres_biden4) reported

    @bt_uk Because they can get no wifi signal and the phone is out. Can’t make or take calls. They are elderly and need this to be fixed.

  • hardyrj Ryan Hardy (@hardyrj) reported

    @bt_uk just received a bill of around £200 for my Nan “ending her broadband contract early”, this is because she has passed away. Please advise on how we can fix this and any further information you require. Thanks

  • Bonnie_Bling Bonnie Bling (@Bonnie_Bling) reported

    @btbusinesscare ‘Steve’ is already trying to help me but it doesn’t change the fact this has taken months and there is still no sign of a resolution.

  • Juevans70A Julie Evans (@Juevans70A) reported from Sale, England

    So annoying when your given a date for broadband installation sat in all morning and no one has been in touch to explain it’s been delayed for 3 weeks and then it will be reviewed still in confirmed date so now have no network as it has cancelled my current network 😡 @bt_uk

  • gregtank Greg Tank (@gregtank) reported

    Currently have no services after BT @bt_uk disconnected us despite me calling earlier in the week and being assured they had updated our contract expiry. Had extended the expiry several times over the past month so had no warning BT would fail so badly.

  • BeardedTickler BeardedTickler (@BeardedTickler) reported

    @bt_uk BT ping from london servers today is awful! any idea when this will be fixed?

  • lisaSG2021 🥰 Lisa ❤️ (@lisaSG2021) reported

    @bt_uk Not since my wifi has been terrible all week and even worse today. Can someone sort this for me please …

  • MrLanMan Lance Manasse (@MrLanMan) reported

    I ask for a complaint to be logged, as I was misled. Had I known been told risk was there, I'd have gone a diff route. Later that in the call, I'm told by @BTCare agent she's closed the complaint!🤬🤬 How do you take a complaint, then just close it yourself! Pointless complaint!

  • palfrey_kris Kris Palfrey (@palfrey_kris) reported

    @bt_uk Unbelievably poor, without internet since Tuesday waiting for an engineer. Engineer appointment booked today between 8am - 1pm only to be told at 1.20pm by texted you are not coming?!? And next available appointment is Tuesday next week! Disappointed is an understatement

  • nathanl3600 Nathan (@nathanl3600) reported

    @bt_uk is your live chat service down online trying to talk to someone about issues with my broadband still after tech has been out

  • thehowden Martin Howden (@thehowden) reported

    @bt_uk and he's now saying that there is a problem and that it's not going to get fixed today, but he can't tell me when

  • JoannaRayson Joanna Rayson (@JoannaRayson) reported

    @bt_uk No! Both my lines are down, no broadband and apparently nobody can help

  • tomcsmith Tom Smith (@tomcsmith) reported

    @bt_uk I've been having frequent problems with my internet dropping over the past 2 weeks, since you started texting about your digital voice service. Never had any issues in the past. I don't have a landline so don't need digital voice.

  • thehowden Martin Howden (@thehowden) reported

    @bt_uk almost an hour with customer service just to get an answer 'will the engineer let me know when they are finished, so i can i see if it's working'. keep getting told that i have to wait to tomorrow to complain if it's not working.

  • BeardedTickler BeardedTickler (@BeardedTickler) reported

    @bt_uk Nothing but issues this last year... what is going on!?

  • elliottcook Elliott Cook (@elliottcook) reported

    @bt_uk Although I’ve DM yourselves, any idea why my Digital Voice service isn’t working?

  • 0tterb0x Rachel Allen (@0tterb0x) reported

    @bt_uk I've just used your relay service for the first time, after I needed to call @tescobankhelp to connect a new and an existing clubcard. I ended my call in tears, because this is the first time I've been able to make this kind of call by myself! Thank you 😭

  • thehowden Martin Howden (@thehowden) reported

    @bt_uk The engineer has just turned up. Turns out he hadn’t been working remotely as told on the phone. So I’m glad I didn’t leave the house! Really poor service and communication.

  • johimself Jo Himself (@johimself) reported

    @winstano @bt_uk Takes the ******* piss. Virgin did that to me. Took them a week to fix, which was bad enough.

  • JoannaRayson Joanna Rayson (@JoannaRayson) reported

    @bt_uk Been a customer for over 20 years and customer service received on our non existent broadband line is poor. Both our lines are down, engineer due between 8-1 but nothing and can’t look at our other line until Tuesday. Nobody wanting to help

  • stvnormansays Steve Norman (@stvnormansays) reported

    @bt_uk Not exactly. Internet down and I’m supposed to be running a virtual conference for 500 people. Fault reported but apparently no way to get my Mini Hub (for what it’s worth) switched on without being in a 40 minute phone queue that keeps telling me I can do everything online!

  • MrLanMan Lance Manasse (@MrLanMan) reported

    @bt_uk My issue is less about the cab being full (I'm IT, so i get it)! It's the fact i asked a question in December, when i did i explained why, and explained it'd inform what i do. I was assured there was no risk, a few times. So went ahead. Hence where i am now! :(

  • gregtank Greg Tank (@gregtank) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, placed cancellation and have been adjusting week on week as @virginmedia have been taking so long. 3 times I extended no problem, this time nothing was different and I was told over the phone it had been extended again but that wasn't true and now we're left with nothing.

  • fragger224 Chris J (@fragger224) reported

    @bt_uk so the solution is borderline useless for me then? Can you let me know what the issue is for me and an ETA on when it'll be repaired?

  • SX2Gaming SX2 (@SX2Gaming) reported

    Considering upgrading my broadband but @bt_uk wants to make it as difficult as possible to simply up my speed by trying to shove their 'Halo' Wi-Fi service down my throat.
