    @bt_uk If you don't tell me specifically the amount of compensation coming off of my next bill then there is a high chance it will be the last bill I have with you. I don't want a link. I want a personal customer experience from you, who I have paid for 2 years my money to.

  • Gwawr_and_Siwan Lady Gwawr Williams (@Gwawr_and_Siwan) reported

    @bt_uk Please can someone sort this out for my elderly mum! Ongoing since June. Changed from copper to fibre broadband but has been told she can't keep her old number (had it for 65 years). She lives in a very rural area and mobile signal is awful - landline is essential!

  • sunsayshi11 j (@sunsayshi11) reported

    @bt_uk Is there a problem with the WiFi in Chelsea/Belgravia area?

  • steve_msn steve (@steve_msn) reported

    @bt_uk DO NOT GO FOR HALO IF POOR / NO EE SERVICE! Over sell you something that’s a complete waste of time! Disgusting customer service - 5 hours on phone calls & more messages. Took 6 days to plug us back into cabinet that some engineer removed!!

  • gemscottRVN Gemma (@gemscottRVN) reported

    @fmworldbyamanda @bt_uk Ours is down as well. We’re in Hertfordshire

  • underarm_ace Lee S (@underarm_ace) reported

    @MariePercival4 @btsport It depends who picks up the rights so too early to say. Prime have ATP to end of 2023 and WTA to end of 2024 so another year before it's a problem.

  • EvLenz Keep away from the madding ***** (@EvLenz) reported

    Ah. There's never a day without problems. Now @bt_uk isn't working.

  • SnapsOfScotland Chris Snaps of Scotland Thomson (@SnapsOfScotland) reported

    Internet down in Dumbarton @bt_uk ? #Internet #bt #Scotland

  • AdvantureTimeUK AdvantureTimeUK (@AdvantureTimeUK) reported

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp so it's acceptable to come onto private property but when we try to actually speak to someone about it get a load of unrelated automated options, hung up on and told to fill out a form that doesn't work. Just how I like spending my day

  • Maya_s_n Maya Sollen-Norrlin (@Maya_s_n) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach No I did not. I was driving behind them. They had the "working on behalf of openreach" on the side of the van. Perhaps @bt_uk can help? A "sorry we don't know who this is" is not good enough.

  • bully2100 Sam Bull (@bully2100) reported

    @bt_uk Hi my customer hasn't come back to me. So I presume all is good thanks

  • Kainz_UK Darren R (@Kainz_UK) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Nicola, unfortunately as expected all is good on the checker. I spoke to someone at BT and they did checks and said the same. Having spoken to a few residents here they’ve also noticed a drop or no EE signal lately.

  • gemscottRVN Gemma (@gemscottRVN) reported

    @bt_uk still no resolution to my lack of internet. Went through text system. No reply to refreshing the connection. Can’t restart hub through the app.

  • LymWild Flower Power Lymo (@LymWild) reported

    @essentialimages @bt_uk @BT Didn’t see this. Am ok here but SLOW

  • janecomben Jane of Yorkshire. Rejoin 🇪🇺💙 (@janecomben) reported

    @AdeleMCooke @bt_uk Hi sorry no, nothing personal but I would never speak to anyone from the mail as I would not want my name associated with anything you publish

  • _jammeyd Jammey D (@_jammeyd) reported

    @bt_uk had broadband outages at least 6 times in the last 4wks (including right now), been running at 1/2 speed I'm paying for since the first outage. Why am I paying for a service when I’m clearly not getting it….

  • RobertMelen Robert Melen (@RobertMelen) reported

    Day six of no broadband or phone thanks to @bt_uk 🤦 awful service. #btdown #broadband #bt

  • S1dTR0tt3r147 S1dTR0tt3r147 (@S1dTR0tt3r147) reported

    @bt_uk broadband down on the manor. Any ideas when it's back fam? Got bare tiktoks to film lads

  • LucasEdw Lucas (@LucasEdw) reported

    My BT wifi has been down for the last hour, I've emailed and private messaged them on here and they reply with 'text this number' you will be charged, what awful service @bt_uk

  • ChantyPied Julia (@ChantyPied) reported

    @bt_uk My elderly father is currently waiting for a bt engineer. Waiting for hours, promised for 10. Still nothing. Is that what you call a priority service?

  • Andy__Rae Andy Rae (@Andy__Rae) reported

    @bt_uk In the passed four days I've spent a total (so far) of nearly 4 hours on hold trying to talk to a customer services rep about my father in laws BT broadband that hasn't been working for months. Still on hold now 45mins and counting. Absolute useless service. Useless.

  • HamzahAkram786 Ely for Eli (@HamzahAkram786) reported

    @bt_uk I would like to talk about the Alexa Phone. We've purchased One of the phones doesn't work Tried to call up got nowhere Text messages to discuss costs Not happy

  • Tom08561041 Tom (@Tom08561041) reported

    @bt_uk why do I still not have broadband or landline a month after placing my order? Your phone app doesn’t allow the opportunity to speak to a human. Quite frankly your service is abysmal!

  • GraceBarton2065 Grace Barton (@GraceBarton2065) reported

    @bt_uk Are there any issues in the Lancashire area? My internet's kept going off all afternoon but down detector doesn't show any issues. :(

  • PieVernon Jason Horsford (@PieVernon) reported

    I have been waiting over ONE YEAR for @bt_uk business broadband to be installed with many failed/unattended installation appts and numerous unbelievably poor excuses - including another for todays 8am appt - despite SMS & emails confirming installation (ref IMP-110419290)

  • floydster6 Wayne sharpe (@floydster6) reported

    @bt_uk What an absolute joke of a statement. Guess you’ve never been to Staynor Hall in Selby. New estate with broadband worse than dial up 🤬🤬🤬

  • BigBengazi OsamaBenGazi (@BigBengazi) reported

    @bt_uk worst ever decision was getting broadband with you. I work from home and my Wi-Fi has been down for weeks. A total of 6 hours spent on hold and no one picks up. The fact that you guys are aware of a fault in the area but not bothered to fix it, makes it more infuriating.

  • PieVernon Jason Horsford (@PieVernon) reported

    With a one year wait on your service being supplied and with zero suitable customer service, to “Work faster, smarter and safer” is a very hollow proposal @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare @BTGroup Where do I find the “solutions built for business”?

  • Andy__Rae Andy Rae (@Andy__Rae) reported

    @bt_uk My father in laws Internet has been down for months. I've spent over four hours the passed 4 days trying to speak to technical support and still on hold now for nearly another hour. Empty word from BT about helping the older generation.

    @bt_uk Seriously Brian? I mean it should be as simple as login - account - change password
