MattHopkins1620 (@MattHopkins1620) reported@bt_uk are committed to excellent customer service, they say so when you ring them. Then they say they're very busy and they promise to speak to you within 20 minutes or you could ring back. Hint, excellent customer service starts with answering the bloody phone.
-
Kenta (@nemurikyosirou) reportedHello @bt_uk. I cancelled my broadband service BEFORE activation and within the cooling-off period. However, I’ve been incorrectly charged £33.99. This is unacceptable. If this isn't refunded immediately, I will escalate this to the Communications Ombudsman. Account number is

keely (@keely490544) reported@bt_uk absolutely diabolical log in **** with BT now . email, password, code to email & code to mobile WTF
-
Darren Lloyd (@darrenglloyd) reported@bt_uk can you provide best contact to make a complaint please. I am not a customer, however I am concerned about a recent upselling tactic with my elderly vulnerable aunt when she phoned regarding a line issue.
-
jpb0332 (@jb0332) reportedBT / Open Reach Worst service ever! Internet service 3rd world Service appalling!! Make appointments to upgrade to full fibre & cancel without any reason or notification! No service at all!! Is there an alternative?? @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach
-
Tracy Kydd (@injuredcyclist_) reported@bt_uk Have called them and they can't help me they keep saying to reset the router but fault is outside and I would like it fixed as bt broke it so please fix it
-
David Sinfield (@omotforest) reported@WasSamLowryEsq @bt_uk @openreach The French call it demerdisation. Removing the ****. It's how I flew under the radar when I lived in France in an unapproved residence. Basically you keep the local mayor on side* and don't let anything escalate to the departement. *May involve 5L of wine a couple of times a year.
-
ems7 (@ems7) reported@bt_uk how can I contact your complaints department? I have had two missed calls from them. The number on your complaints page won’t put me through. Live chat can’t help. I’ve already escalated the complaint.
-
Jac Dee 🇺🇦 (@Jacsplace3) reportedDear @bt_uk We switched to @EE home broadband 2 months ago and it's been awful since. We're now paying for two bills. Customer service think we switched in September 2025 - incorrect. Today we have no broadband Goodness sake the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
-
Mo B (@M300bt3) reported@palmersears @bt_uk I have the same issue, on going for several weeks. When will this be resolved. Can't see bills or any products, requested a paper bill over a week ago and still haven't received that either. @bt_uk
-
Adam Darke (@adarkelimited) reportedAnother 3 hours on phone to @bt_uk today. Still unresolved, still no call back from manager, still no email as promised from bosses. Comfortably the worst customer service in the UK.
-
Ann Palmer (@AnniePShoreham) reported@bt_uk I’ve made a complaint already. Hopeless. Not your fault I know. CEO next then. 😬
-
Adam Darke (@adarkelimited) reported@bt_uk you’ll be hard pushed to find a worse company than these guys in the UK. Appalling customer service, terrible turnaround times for installing, hopeless comms, mistakes everywhere and you always end up carrying the stress and cost. Go with anyone else.
-
Angry Scotsman (@Ang_ryScotsman) reported@bt_uk Every time I go into the support we spend two hours. They do automated tests from some call centre abroad and tell me that my system's working fine. It hasn't been working fine since November so I'm just waiting to leave my contract.
-
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
-
Sad Banana (@SadBanana9999) reported@hippyjan1 @bt_uk Seems to be affecting so many people 😡😡 cant log in my account AT ALL. How useless is this?? I used different provider for last 10 years and I never had this hell!
-
Grub Street Publishing (@grub_street) reported@bt_uk And by the way you're obviously using a bot to reply. So obvious by the language. What real person says You must feel let down for sure
-
Caroline (@snowlingc) reported@bt_uk Your missing the point, your engineer installed full fibre today but it is still not working after 7 hours of flashing pink
-
IceThunder09 (@IceThunder90) reported@bt_uk Yea ive tried that but your website is terrible im only getting a pink loading circle and nothing else
-
fuey (@hongkongfu3y) reported@bt_uk hello BT. I was a BT customer for years but was shifted onto EE. I have a broadband package with them and 2 sim only deals (originated as BT sims) If I change back to BT would I still get the mobile discount with EE being the same as BT or would that change??
-
jack250213 (@e4290936) reported@bt_uk After some investigation I posit this as a reason for constant delays in my broadband applications. 'If your automated systems are secretly scanning my IP address without my consent and blocking my service because I use a secure dedicated IP, that is a fault in YOUR system, not mine. I provided my real, verifiable details. Ask me—don't secretly track me'
-
Amy Lou (@Lashes_N_Ink) reported@bt_uk why do your representatives feel it is ok to hang up on elderly customers? I’ve been helping my nan with internet, told 2 different stories, didn’t show up on installation date, then told can’t do it because of careline, £95 offer revoked. Disgusting behaviour!
-
Darren Mumby (@mumby83) reported@bt_uk what on earth is going on with account. I can’t sign in anywhere
-
AFCdonnilad (@afcdonnilad) reportedFormal complaint incoming. @bt_uk @EE @OpenreachHelp Order placed 6 April ahead of house move on 15 April. Install promised 22 April. Now pushed AGAIN to 5 May with ZERO explanation. Repeated 48hr “updates” that deliver nothing. No broadband, no TV, no smart devices pt1.
-
Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported@bt_uk @simboman The BT Guides are telling me that this problem, logging into account, is a known issue and @BT_UK are working to resolve it. I note Allison Kirkby is going to retrieve the battered BT brand. Good luck Allison.
-
Ann Palmer (@AnniePShoreham) reported@bt_uk No I won’t do that. I have spent far too many hours of my life at various times over the last year trying to get this sorted. Please pass this to the complaints team - the agent I spoke to on 5/3 promised to sort it. Another epic fail.
-
bazzer (@thematrixzion) reportedThe @bt_uk app is a load of crap it updates you can’t use it even to turn my kids Wi-Fi back on
-
CG2009 🦓🦓 (@CatherineG2009) reported@btbusinesscare Not helpful really. Any business needing help has to wait for Tuesday. Absolutely useless service. Currently experiencing THIRD week this year of broken service. Bank holiday should be my busiest time, but I’ve had to close. 0/10.
-
bakerbird (@cakey12) reported@bt_uk been trying for 3 days now see my bill. Please don’t tell me you are not aware of any problems. How about telling me how this can be resolved. You emailed to say bill is available ……. All I get is 3 dancing dots !!!!!
-
Larissa Collins🇱🇹🇮🇪🏴 (@CollinsLarissa) reported@bt_uk So you’re making an upgrade I never asked for and it’s still cost me over an hour on the phone because you can’t get your appointments in the right order. I don’t care about your rigid systems - I’m the customer. I care even less that ‘AI did it’ - you trained it.
