    @bt_uk I have cancelled my ee tv subscription within my cooling off period with customer services but I have not received a returns label to return the equipment. Can you send me a returns label?

    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    @bt_uk Your detection system says everything is ok, clearly it is not. Means I’m going to have to speak to your normally incompetent tech support since my open reach box was accidentally wired up to neighbours when development built. Literally had enough.

    @bt_uk all especially as it's been working on a constant properly for the first 3 months after January installation it is your end especially if far away countries are getting the same issue of backup feeds cutting in instead of the show to come out then it randomly comes out of nowhere

    Clarissa Reilly (@clarescastle) reported

    Hello @btbusinesscare I’ve wasted hours of my life, and raised my blood pressure all afternoon trying to connect new Cloud Voice kit and set up an account. You’re the worst in the world. I can’t believe I’ve been stupid enough to sign up with you again. All that time and kind telephone help, and still unable to log in. If I still drank I’d be hitting the brandy.

    @btbusinesscare Another week and another attempt to get BT issues sorted. Just absolutely incapable. Everything has to be done Chat. I am sure I wil gte an agent within the next hour who will be absolutely useless and just fob me off again.

    .@bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach WHAT A SHAMBOLIC BUNCH OF HAPLESS BUFFOONS YOU ARE. ALL I WANT IS RAMS AHEAD OF AN INSTALL AS YOU GOT IT WRONG LAST TIME. THEY HAVE BEEN PROMISED BUT NEVER DELIVERED. YOUR 'GUIDES' LIE TO CUSTOMERS. I HAVE EVIDENCE.

  • CARLOSUK01
    CARL ROBINSON (@CARLOSUK01) reported

    @btbusinesscare please cancel my order as you seem incapable of delivering a service and can’t even manage to transfer me to a supervisor to escalate my complaint when you change my installation yet again - that’s almost 4 weeks waiting now 🙁

    @bt_uk Your new login system for My BT is broken - "We are having trouble performing verification. Please try again." Thanks for making life so much easier with over complicated security. Not.

    @btbusinesscare I’ve just tried WhatsApp and the same issue. No response. Is there a phone number to actually speak to a human ??? 🤬🤷🏻. I’m being threatened with legal action over an account I closed months ago and I cannot speak to someone ??? Your robot doesn’t understand!! 😱😱

    We’re really sorry to all our customers affected by the ongoing internet outage. Our service has been disrupted and, despite relying on BT Business for support, we’ve been left without the help we urgently need. We know this has caused frustration and inconvenience @bt_uk

    Stephen Marsland (@StephenMar68207) reported

    @bt_uk since my full fibre was installed my connection has been rubbish,you checker on the website found an issue your end but then I just get trapped in a ongoing loop of uselessness from your 'help bot'(which I can't actually type a reply to)how do I actually resort this issue?

  • ae_parry
    AP Rhondda (@ae_parry) reported

    @btbusinesscare @ofcom You can't even complain because they will always say that BT have not had enough chance to fix things. 2 years of bills messed up and now I have moved on to a better company I am struggling to even do that.

    e-solutions (@esolutionsltd) reported

    @btbusinesscare We have come into the office and surprise the phone system is NOT WORKING and NO CONTACT FROM BT. I guess its another day on the mobile phone (thankfully Vodafone) chasing the elusive BT Cloud Voice team, for another update. why do BT think this is acceptable?

    @BTCare can I book a call please? Its regarding a recent service complaint,you didnt uphold your promise and me ending my xontract that ended months ago! You've been charging me twice as much as a new customer for a long time now!

    Hi @btbusinesscare you came to change my telephone line and broadband and you have managed to change by shop telephone number. I haven’t had a shop phone for 2 weeks. I am losing Christmas trade! No one is helping me resolve this serious issue. Can someone help? Thank you

  • euanwab
    Euan (@euanwab) reported

    @asha_shar Any way to have wi-fi 5ghz as default or option? Xbox is one of the only devices that defaults to 2.4ghz with no way to get 5ghz unless you disable 2.4ghz on the broadband entirely. Some providers like @bt_uk don’t allow for that or splitting the network on their routers. Help!

    @WeAreOpenreach OR sent a text this am saying my fault had been FIXED. However, the landline is STILL dead and has been dead since March 10th. I live alone and am a pensioner. @bt_uk @Ofcom Help!

  • theGrimey
    Tobes (@theGrimey) reported

    @EE @EE your option here is to escalate this appropriately, such as @bt_uk did historically with a similar issue (and before this godforsaken merger saw such a decline in service quality) - or I shall opt to seek your executives out directly.

    @bt_uk you’re existing customer price promise is a scam, your customer service is a mess and you have 0 loyalty for your long term existing customer. Get in the bin. Moving to @skytv asap.
