    I hate having to do this but it is a joke that @bt_uk @BTGroup cannot connect my broadband for 4 months! FOUR MONTHS! Twitter seems to be the only way I can get a response. I’ve been with them for years but this is the worst experience of any company I’ve ever had.

  • derekjhartley Derek Hartley (@derekjhartley) reported

    @bt_uk Sorry, are you actually saying that to contact someone about a Wifi issue I have to make a phone call? Is this not the 21st Century? This clearly isn't the actual case so I'd appreciate you getting in touch with someone who can provide an answer.

  • 4realsmith73 𝕯𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖊𝖓 𝕾𝖒𝖎𝖙𝖍 (@4realsmith73) reported

    @bt_uk May have to look for service elsewhere that can wouldn't think a big company like @bt_uk would have this trouble

  • lurkingspider Socially Distant Spider (@lurkingspider) reported

    @bt_uk @mrlondon_ncb I spotted a BT engineer in Darlington this morning. Does that help since you don't seem to know where they are or what works are planned? There was one in Middlesbrough yesterday. Not sure if it was the same one.
