-
Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported@brian_mcbride1 @bt_uk That's similar experience to my 90 year old mother's complaint about digital switchover and contract renewal. Sent a complaint letter to BT plc, PO Box 334, Sheffield, S98 1BT and received a text a couple of weeks later saying the complaint had been closed but with no resolution.
-
Nix's (@nickinoonoos) reported@bt_uk why can we not talk to an operator anymore, dyk how, annoying it is, when no one will pick up the call and you have no WIFi for 5 weeks now and all I get told is "there's a network error" Well sort the issue, you are quick to take payment, which I will be claiming back
-
Lee Williams (@LeeWilliams154) reported@bt_uk I cannot find the option for online chat, I am disabled and need a reliable land land service, I use Starlink as my Internet provider.
-
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 🙁
-
Abbie Ruth Sharland (@AbbeyGale99) reported@bt_uk hello I’m in year one of my two year contract but need to terminate my contract from this September for university. Will I be charged for this?
-
🏴 Curt 🏴 (@CurtStephens00) reportedHi @bt_uk I’m quite worried as there seems to be an outage in Nottingham. Could you check this please?
-
Simon Roxburgh (@SimonRoxburgh) reported@bt_uk @BTBusiness shocking service today. Over an hour being bounced between departments, kept on hold, more automated voices, chat bots, crappy apps and all I want to do is talk to someone who can sort things out, properly.
-
Deborah Bebbington (@DeborahBeb1o5) reported@bt_uk Internet has been unavailable since yesterday morning, your tech bot is useless and now being told it’s a in-house problem even though it’s an area issue with everyone experiencing issues, been told engineers will be out Monday, there won’t be enough engineers mk
-
AM (@itsmeitsmeandy) reported@bt_uk and by any chance if you @giffgaff can actually get of your backsides and at the very least give me a engineer appointment date been waiting a month now nothing maybe i should cut out the middle man and contact your friends @virginmedia directly
-
Apex Signs (@apex_signs1) reported@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!! 😱😱
-
Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported@bt_uk I’m absolutely disgusted, in this day & age of phone scams you have people phoning from unsolicited numbers about contract renewal (+44 1438 989233). All the person on the other end of the phone could say was “I promise I work on behalf of BT”. I said I can promise I’m the king of England. Do you see how stupid and dangerous this practice is? I think as a company you desperately need to review this, it’s dangerous and it’s making me think if you can be trusted at all. In this day and age it’s unforgivable to do this in this manner.

MouseMat (@andymousemat) reported@bt_uk @virginmedia @CityFibre I need to report massive internet outage in the following postcodes NE1 TO NE38 DH9 DH1, DH6, DH7 TS26, TS27, TS28 11564 - Riyadh Saudi Arabia 21442 - Jeddah Saudi Arabia Internet must be down as "Visitors" are awfully quiet
-
Clive MacDonald (@clivemacd) reported@bt_uk The login process to my BT account this morning was a bad experience. 20 minutes to log in going round and round with the same security questions.
-
▪️Neil H▪️ (@neilhamshaw) reported@F1 Exclusive is the problem. A hub of motorsports fans in the UK are screed by this. F1: Sky MotoGP: BTSport WEC: TNT Naturally, two have to go. This gets more of a joke every time.
-
Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported@bt_uk @NRManc they’ve messed up everyone’s account - it be worried they are taking money from old customers so check your bank - they aren’t acknowledging the issue
-
RaeRubyRae (@RaeRubyRaeK) reported@bt_uk Now I can’t log into the website either without giving you my mobile number? What about someone who doesn’t have a mobile number? You’re actively discriminating against people who might not be fully digital. @Ofcom stop allowing BT to pull this crap!
-
Patricia Kidd (@Patrici34058203) reported@bt_uk I do not want this 2 step verification your webpage indicates it’s easy to turn off but there’s no provision to I’ve now got problems accessing emails on my PC as well as extremely slow broadband is this on purpose? Your advisor was useless.
-
J (@Daylightfire) reportedoutstanding work from @WeAreOpenreach when installing neighbours fibre they cut our broadband, just cut the cable, Even though it clearly goes into a different house, and @bt_uk / @EE said, best we can do to get it back is Tuesday. The levels of customer service are at a new low
-
Stockport871 (@stockport871) reported@bt_uk It’s linked to a vulnerability issue, reel feee to direct message me, the reason I can’t call is on the account.
-
Glo 🏴 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 (@Glo_Thienel) reported@bt_uk Hi. I have done that, cleared. Called the number which button to press, as it's all about products, not help with online account?
-
Tubularswells (@Tubularswells) reported@bt_uk @OpenreachHelp unacceptable 7+ day broadband outage. Newborn at home, baby monitor offline, clear vulnerability risk. Already diagnosed fault. Need urgent escalation, 4G backup and review for full fibre upgrade. Considering switching provider.
-
Dave Tyrrell (@Dajamaky) reported@bt_uk are absolute *****. After 10 yrs of patchy WiFi we’ve made the move to another provider. 1 week before switch off they have turned off our WiFi . Thanks for nothing, mediocre pricks. I won’t hold my breath for a refund as I have long experience of your “customer service”
-
keely (@keely490544) reported@bt_uk anyone got friends, family can;t use phone for calls this is BT complaint been submitted We will call you within the next few days on 01000****00 to discuss your complaint. If this is not your telephone number that your complaint relates to then please change it below
-
Future Tech (@neural_theory) reported@duncsand @bt_uk Being able to find a contact number for a business is more than you get from most companies. Goes to show though, very few understand or care about customer service these days
-
Marc Harris (@Marcharris1687) reported@bt_uk you are actually useless phones are down in our area when we rung you to tell you you were already aware but can't do anything or update you because the team are off until Thursday what sort of bullshit is that you only got one team to deal with issues
-
JoycieB (@blairjoyce3) reported@bt_uk 8 weeks ago you mis-sold my elderly parents a 900mb broadband package which we have been trying to cancel since, despite your "5 working days" claim. I won't go into additional details here, as it continues to get worse, but I am absolutely disgusted with your company
-
Sebastian Colt (@Red_Rescue) reported@bt_uk Speaking to support on the phone anecdotally this seems to be a significant problem. I think the scale of it can be tracked by how many calls last less that a few seconds (due to dead air) or how many pin numbers are requested but not used. (as they are not supplied in time)
-
Glo 🏴 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 (@Glo_Thienel) reported@bt_uk Hi. I have changed my password, still can't get in, saying can't load. Rang the number you gave me. What number do you press as no options for problems logging into account. Help

Now pushed AGAIN to 5 May with ZERO explanation. Repeated 48hr “updates” that deliver nothing. No broadband, no TV, no smart devices pt1.
