Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • drmatthewhardy Matthew Hardy (@drmatthewhardy) reported

    An update to this story: On Friday night, after spending 2 1/2 hours on @EE's tech help chat line, I was finally able to chat to a senior staff member who solved the "no data" issue within 5 minutes (hurrah!). He also promised they'd give us the deal we'd been sold by @bt_uk

  • drmatthewhardy Matthew Hardy (@drmatthewhardy) reported

    And the problem all along? @EE's sim card setup process hadn't overwritten the file with data connection settings that @bt_uk's sim had installed. Simply deleting the file sorted the problem.

  • GillWiltshire Gill Wiltshire (@GillWiltshire) reported

    @bt_uk brilliant response to an outage yesterday in my village. My mini hub arrived less than 24 hours after the issue (which had been resolved anyway) . Very impressed with the proactively. I have a solution if any further issues. Thank you !

  • joy___r Joy Roxas (@joy___r) reported

    @bt_uk Ok have done so. It's been down since 6am. Hopefully it will get resolved soon

  • leopaula leopaula (@leopaula) reported

    @bt_uk Still waiting for my ‘free post bag’ to send back the WiFi equipment I eventually managed to collect from the wrong sorting office I didn’t ask it to be sent to? Thoughts? And I better not be charged for services? Ya feel me? Thanks, I work in customer service, you guys rock 👍

  • SURFERDUDEBURT CHRIS BURTON (@SURFERDUDEBURT) reported

    @bt_uk Fix my phone line? @OpenreachHelp

  • SketchLisa Lisa Harding (@SketchLisa) reported

    @MaranelloGTO @bt_uk I paid for their super fast broadband whilst I was streaming on twitch. I’m certainly not getting any kind of consistent service

  • MikeMacLeanOban Jus' sayin'... (@MikeMacLeanOban) reported

    @bt_uk , can you please advise what the problem causing loss of internet is and when it will be resolved in the PA34 5EF area?

  • Joseph17086339 Joseph (@Joseph17086339) reported

    @SketchLisa @bt_uk Go to EE. I left BT for the same reason, the first thing they say when you phone them with a problem is " if the fault is found in your property then you will have to pay. EE are absolutely brilliant, they are very prompt and keen to sort out any problems. An excellent company.

  • DynamicAscents Mark Greaves (@DynamicAscents) reported

    @bt_uk Yes tried that. The red 4G signal bars keep flashing red. Been fine for ages and since update it’s gone awol

  • turchest Richard Burdon (@turchest) reported

    Best thing about @bt_uk going to digital voice is that, hopefully, very soon nobody’s will have to use @bt_uk and that they go out of business. Use anyone else. They’re the worst, most unreliable and untrustworthy company there is.

  • becky_willett Becky Purvin (@becky_willett) reported

    @bt_uk It’s a home move, supposed to come last Monday, didn’t turn up, then again today and didn’t turn up, both times we’ve phoned and been assured someone will call back to resolve and they never do

  • Catheri00331975 Lplateartist (@Catheri00331975) reported

    @bt_uk Ok BT so how come the Priority Fault Repair leaflet containing the form PHME 83925 to is not available online and furthermore the BT people on the phone when I ring 0800 800 150 as instructed on your own website have never heard of it? Let alone can send it.

  • Dan07456093 Dan (@Dan07456093) reported

  • PrimumSequitur Primum non sequitur 🔴 (@PrimumSequitur) reported

    @bt_uk no internet still; your mini-hub is awful. I cannot believe the way you have handled this scenario. Loyal & elderly customers mean nothing to you!

  • werdle Ollie Powell (@werdle) reported

    @bt_uk My broadband is not working again. Can I talk to someone to help please?

  • markn1960902 Mark Nicholson (@markn1960902) reported

    @bt_uk I was given a fault number by sky for a fault you are resolving, how do I check the progress, been down 6 days so far 1-1214475057285

  • I_amaDerek Derek (@I_amaDerek) reported

    @bt_uk @binaryape none of which, addresses the issue of the poor service you are currently failing to fix for this paying customer.

  • GBigkevin BigBadKev (@GBigkevin) reported

    Do NOT buy @bt_uk TV it's the BIGGEST load of rubbish EVER mine keeps cutting the end of programs off so I miss the end or it doesn't record a show I have had TWO new boxes and it keeps happening so please stay away nothing but problems since day one #stayclear

  • CharMonkey Andrew Charman (@CharMonkey) reported

    @bt_uk Is there a problem with internet in OX17 area?

  • thatwisewitch 🎅🏻That Christmas Witch🎅🏻 (@thatwisewitch) reported

    @bt_uk It’s sorted now i managed to get through to customer services thanks

  • richmt15 Richard Tracy (@richmt15) reported

    @SketchLisa @bt_uk I was with BT, overpriced and the worst customer service. Switched to Plusnet which is owned by BT, never had a problem and UK based customer service.

  • joy___r Joy Roxas (@joy___r) reported

    @bt_uk Hello, yes but it said they will aim to fix the issue within 5 days. Which is a long time - especially given I'm working from home. Now relying on mobile hotspot with EE.

  • turchest Richard Burdon (@turchest) reported

    @jamclarkey @bt_uk Yes I’m fine with that…. As long as @bt_uk is not the service provider.

  • SeanCro32891966 Sean Cronin (@SeanCro32891966) reported

    @bt_uk how many levels of escalation does one company need to get things sorted. Yet another call indicating out complaint has been escalated but still not resolved.

  • AllAmericanCFC Christian (@AllAmericanCFC) reported

    @bt_uk I was told for the last week that an engineer would come by my house and resolve the connection issue. Today came and went and still NOTHING. As a brand new customer you are absolutely getting off on the wrong foot with me. #BT #customerexperience
