    @btsport I rang this morning to cancel my SUBSCRIPTION. After waiting 13 minutes I got through to a nice guy, very pleasant & professional. When I confirmed my cancellation he informed me that I would be charged 60p for my one day early 30 days notice! WTF? Cost of Living Crisis?

    @bt_uk Having with BT one of the worst experiences I ever had. Ordered two separate business internet connections for two new stores in London on the 15th of March and still nothing is working. Stay away from this company at all costs. Horrible service.

    @bt_uk turning off my 75 year old mum's phone and then having a manager called Josh acting the big man over the phone. She's in bad health and during a cost of living crisis you disconnect her phone after she's kept up a payment plan. Disgusting!!

    @bt_uk Thanks for making contact Dee. Bizarre that you are more communicative than your customer support team. I will be cancelling both of my subscriptions and complaining to your leadership and Ofcom. Awful service.

    @bt_uk Unimpressed with our 1st need to use "unbreakable wifi". EE hub took several mins to kick in, then when we switched TV on it said signal wasn't strong enough for TV. Resetting hub restored b/band but we don't want this hassle in (eg) the middle of a footy match. Any ideas?

    So a very rude, arrogant man from @bt_uk just called regarding my decision to switch my internet provider. If he was supposed to convince me to stay then he made a piss-poor job of it!

    @juliesharp86 @bt_uk could you help @juliesharp86 out here please? It doesn't seem right that your social tarrif is only eligible to those living alone. Surely joint ESA is acceptable criteria?

    @bt_uk Business account and i dont trust 1 person in bt every single one has lied. I was promised call backs not one call back i need final response to my complaint end off

    Be glad when I get my @BTSopenreach installed after moving home. The @EE mini hub is rubbish. @bt_uk you would think I'd get quicker activation already being a customer but no. 😔

  • sofalegs
    Kurst (@sofalegs) reported

    @bt_uk don't know how you can justify an almost £10 price increase during a cost of living crisis. £47 for a broadband only service of 55mb? Shocking. New customers get more for half the price!

  • AJHoll

    Did anyone else not hear the alarm yesterday? I'm on @EE (owned by @bt_uk) and heard nothing. Not that it would actually help in an emergency...

    Steven (@SteFitzyy) reported

    Disappointed with @bt_uk and their lack of “loyalty” as an existing customer wishing to upgrade my package. Advertised package is £29.99, as an existing customer willing to pay to terminate existing deal the “best they can do” is £43pm.

    @bt_uk I started my contract 7 months ago. I have not even been a client of BT for a full year and I'm already getting a 14.4% increase. I'm now paying £40 a month when a new customer with the same contract as me would only be paying £33.99! Is that fair?

    @bt_uk I don’t know. We seem to have been sold this b/band + tv + unbreakabke wifi when we don’t have enough 4G signal to back it up 😞

    @bt_uk As a loyal customer I am furious at the way a complaint has been dealt with today. You're quick enough to take my money but your customer service has been abysmal today. #bTwitFi #CustomerServiceFail

  • JamesDangoor
    james dangoor (@JamesDangoor) reported

    @bt_uk Yes. I would like the speed of our Broadband fixed. Currently looking at other options, as BT have tried & failed to rectify multiple times over multiple months. We're now wondering why we're continuing to pay for such a poor service.

    Worst customer service of my life from @bt_uk , three weeks of calling almost daily and getting fobbed off with inaccurate information every time and no progress on getting connected. Infuriated I can’t go to a different provider.
