  • ginabchallen GinaChallen (@ginabchallen) reported

    @WhaiteArt @bt_uk @BT_Openreach Thank you. I'm so stressed by it. Open Reach tell me there's no record of the problem being logged and B T say that it's a priority and Open Reach are working on it. It's like hitting my head against the wall. And Mum still doesn't have a landline or alarm!

  • JuxtoG Juxto (@JuxtoG) reported

    @bt_uk Not really helpful tho is it. My internet has been down since last night. My internet has been unsustainable for months

  • 77kls 77KLS (@77kls) reported

  • tomallenstevens Tom Allen-Stevens (@tomallenstevens) reported

    FFS @bt_uk will you sort the Internet out with @WeAreOpenreach we've been without Internet since your incompetence left us cut off on 16 Feb. You said you'd prioritise us but we've seen NO action. Anyone else had problems?

    We have, yet again, been let down by @bt_uk @BTCare - if you have tried to contact us over the last few days then please call; 01841 541059 - very sorry for the inconvenience!

  • dannynic Danny Nicholson (@dannynic) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Claire. Sorry, didn’t follow up as it got a little better. It’s still intermittent over the weekend. Keep getting disconnects at random times. Maybe a router issue?

  • sktaylor99 Stewart Taylor (@sktaylor99) reported

    @btsportmotogp Exactly what I'm wondering. I pay for BT Sport all year just for MotoGP and now it seems thee won't be anything shown until the first race is on. Poor show @btsport

  • JuxtoG Juxto (@JuxtoG) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you for the consistent bad customer service 👍🏻

  • jaitchy jaitchy (@jaitchy) reported

    @bt_uk No never had bt broadband. Talk21 emails come with t21 address and also another open world address. I get the choice of which email to send from when in phone browser when it is working. I only ever the talk21 address.

  • LastSingleGirI 😷 LSG 😷 (@LastSingleGirI) reported

    If my skyQ keep disconnecting every 5 minutes m in my bedroom (multiroom box), is that a @bt_uk issue or a @SkyUK issue? Either way someone’s not delivering what I’m paying for.

  • biscuitsgod Ian Harris 🇪🇺💙 (@biscuitsgod) reported

    @BT_uk: we are coming on Wednesday to install your fiber broadband service. Alas, were only going to do the outside bits, and will make another appointment to do the inside bits at an undetermined point probably quite far into the future.

  • iansarmstrong Ian Armstrong (@iansarmstrong) reported

    Help! Anyone use a @bt_uk mobile sim w/ a @TPLINK 4G router? New sim to use as home broadband. Devices connect to WiFi but say no internet yet router says connected to internet. Putting sim in phone and hotspotting works just fine.

  • SparksNeon2020 Neonsparks2020 (@SparksNeon2020) reported

    @bt_uk when my contract ends I will be leaving you. Your router is a pain in the ***. I can't split the bands so can't choose what network 2.4 or 5 I need to connect to! Some of my devices need 2.4 but I can't communicate when I'm on a different frequency!

  • ChubbyMead Gary ✝️🐝🍺⚽️ (@ChubbyMead) reported

    @bt_uk There is a fibre node on the pole outside my house.... do you need when I can upgrade to full fibre service please?

  • LiamSpectre Liam (@LiamSpectre) reported

    @bt_uk Damn, I guess having no internet for three weeks will make me read more! Thanks for your help.

  • HennaWalsh Hannah (@HennaWalsh) reported

    @bt_uk I had to explain YOUR OWN PROCESSES back to your staff to stop them sending me around in circles / fobbing me off. Counting down the days until we can get out of this contract tbh.

  • JuxtoG Juxto (@JuxtoG) reported

    @bt_uk Why would I do that? There’s no internet? Theres a problem that needs fixing and me checking the website won’t fix it

  • chrismcd87 Chris mcdonough (@chrismcd87) reported

    @the_pieface @virginmedia Virgin are shocking. I had issues everyday and they were useless. Switched to @bt_uk and it’s the best internet going 👍🏻. Definitely get rid of virgin

  • KristenHousman KNH (@KristenHousman) reported

    @bt_uk searched the app & for a comms firm can’t find anyway of chatting about 3 days no internet. Key workers work at home stressed about Monday!! Please help!!

  • dangriffin37 @DanGriffin45 (@dangriffin37) reported from Sheffield, England

    @bt_uk off like you to explain why despite your frankly rubbish and desperate internet service you feel it's ok to add £5.50 per month to my bill, to say the least I'm disgusted and unhappy

  • HennaWalsh Hannah (@HennaWalsh) reported

    @bt_uk That is the original issue, i have no idea and don't fancy spending my Sunday explaining it to ten different people, again. Your engineers created this issue in the first place i have no idea how to remedy it.

  • ceciliaissmart Cecilia Is Smart 💎 (@ceciliaissmart) reported

    @bt_uk BT Business really are shockingly bad. Been trying to PAY a bill for over a week. Calls passed around. Website not working. If they are this bad when you are trying to give them money...

  • HelenTT_MO Helen (@HelenTT_MO) reported

    I think a call to @bt_uk tomorrow needs to be done Terrible Internet, it's no good when you are trying to find a job 😢

  • KieranPhipps_ KP (@KieranPhipps_) reported

    @bt_uk order is now cancelled and is meant to re setup without having to swap equipment etc as promised by your customer service but now I've been chucked back into the auto system again! 🤬 Stuff this I'm going to @SkyUK

  • JuxtoG Juxto (@JuxtoG) reported

    @bt_uk internet is down and has been since last night

  • hannah_lynchx Hannah Lynch (@hannah_lynchx) reported

    @bt_uk placed an order on Friday for broadband and have already had to ring up twice because of multiple errors made by your staff. Been on phone now for over 30 mins to change address number from 25 to 15. Really disappointing for us to experience as new customers.
