  • Riversparkle Riversparkle (@Riversparkle) reported

    @bt_uk I wonder how many more times I am going to be subjected to botched jobs, engineers not showing up and having to wait on the phone for an hour before getting through to the most unsympathetic and incompetent ‘customer service’ robot…?

  • BertramsL Bertrams Lukstins (@BertramsL) reported

    @bt_uk internet is down for hours, it's the middle of a working day and it's impossible to get in touch with anyone on the support line. Please check dms.

  • manas89354541 manas (@manas89354541) reported

    @smooyacs @virginmedia @bt_uk Try Vodafone - They might give you both Speed and stability. However, I don't know too much about their connection stability.

  • rythmUKCS rythm (@rythmUKCS) reported

    @smooyacs @virginmedia @bt_uk wish i knew how unstable they were before switching from ee **** sake (although going from 4 mb/s to 450 mb/s down is very nice)

  • carlos_198323 Carl Wilson (@carlos_198323) reported

    @btsport is there any chance your technicians can give me that call back to my app not working. We will call you back within the hour. That was Tuesday 🧐

  • dasped DaSped (@dasped) reported

    NEVER BRITISH TELECOM @bt_uk British by name, not by nature. Sent my late father a new router he never set it up or activated, well over a contract ago. No BB ever used. Charging £59.99 PCM (£'s for nothing) Their perspective? It's perfectly fine to slap anyone out of contract

  • rellierae Rae (@rellierae) reported

    @smooyacs @virginmedia @bt_uk I see people have constant issues with virgin :(

  • H8rv Harv (@H8rv) reported

    @bt_uk Internet came back on Tuesday . Landline still doesn’t work. Was booked for engineer to come round yesterday between 1 and 6 to resolve. They never turned up. 👍

  • mapkidz A. Paruk (@mapkidz) reported

    @craigwoodburn @bt_uk I have had a similiar problem. I have lost access to critical information on both my talk21 accounts. When I contacted BT the adviser was not helpful and could not resolve my issue yesterday even after 45 minutes on the phone. kindly advise urgently

  • Emjayeff6 MF (@Emjayeff6) reported

    @bt_uk My sister who lives alone & suffers with breathing difficulties still has no landline, no wifi & no mobile signal 10 days later & no answers. Disgusting service BT

  • hos682gjxidn Goat Seeds (@hos682gjxidn) reported

    @bt_uk BT are rip off merchants. Staff don’t care or are badly trained. They are really hard to reach and force you down the AI bot route which is as intelligent as their routers (I.e. not) Go with literally anybody else for your own sanity

  • smooyacs Owen Butterfield (@smooyacs) reported

    Again and again @virginmedia you seem to never surprise me. How can I work when your internet crashes 2-3x per week always as I’m streaming? Can you provide a better service please @bt_uk?

  • DTGRisky Risky (@DTGRisky) reported

    @bt_uk why is my internet speed constantly bad, been like it for ages, don’t get anywhere near the speeds I should, soon as 2 or more computing devices are on its super super slow… please fix itttttt

  • AlanMacleod14 Alan Macleod (@AlanMacleod14) reported

    Day 85 of waiting for @bt_uk broadband installation. Promised by TWO @bt_uk customer service reps this morning that today was the day for the work to be done. Cancelled work engagements to be at home… did they turn up? NO of course they didn’t. Absolute shambles #BT

  • GaryPWils1 Gary Wilson 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿#BackBoris (@GaryPWils1) reported

    @bt_uk Yeah whilst you wanted to charge me near £70pm, a loyal customer of many many years!! 🤬🤬

  • Georgethefarmer George Atkinson (@Georgethefarmer) reported

    Shocking service this week from @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare . Nearly a week now without broadband in our office, we were lead to believe issues would be rectified within 24hrs when we signed up!
