  • oneofthoseidoh John Williams (@oneofthoseidoh) reported

    @bt_uk on hold for ovef an hour this morning and then you cut me off. 4 hrs trying to sort a problem that should take 5 minutes. I give bt nearly a £1000 a year. Today I will be ending our families +40 year association with bt. Had enough.

  • weymouthwoman Jane Golby (@weymouthwoman) reported

    @bt_uk Appalling service again from BT as you send the wrong engineer for the second time on the same job! I’m told I have to wait till 21 Dec for broadband now despite having booked well ahead of my house move. Total failure of systems and simple listening

  • stephenrcardiff cardiffbhoy (@stephenrcardiff) reported

    Ok @bt_uk . New fibre 1 installed today and now we have no Wi-Fi upstairs ! Can we cancel if this isn’t sorted ?

  • sallysewandso Sally Cooke (@sallysewandso) reported

    @bt_uk I am checking whether my return has been processed. But in the interests of fairness and good customer service I would like reassurance that BT will review systems so that no customer is charged for a problem (delay in returns processing) that is not of their making. Thanks.

  • CatriRose Rosie (@CatriRose) reported

    @BTCare I spent 1hr 20 on the phone last night to your colleagues who were trying to fix the Now TV package I have paid for. I was told I would receive a text today confirming it was fixed but have heard nothing. Pls can you help?

  • Tra8219 Tra la la (@Tra8219) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, In the past two days my internet has dropped out at least 10 times. Is there a problem in the CT9 area?

  • KarlosW Karl Wardlaw (@KarlosW) reported

    @bt_uk Hi on some channels which should be freeview we're getting v poor signal. Have restarted box,retuned channels and checked aerial connection properly all to no avail

  • nathankleyn Nathan Kleyn (@nathankleyn) reported

    @bt_uk I've tried to call to cancel my broadband contract but your customer service line just says there's a problem and they can't connect me. Given that cancellation is time-sensitive, and BT doesn't seem to offer any other way to do this, what options do I have?

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    Yellow card retracted @bt_uk Mini hub arrived. Everything crossed for full telephone and internet service resumption tomorrow

  • edengem Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @bt_uk Hello - can you help. My mother’s landline isn’t working; she’s 89, slightly deaf and isn’t online. It seems there’s a 2-day wait to fix when I checked; she has hospital calls this wk so can you expedite plse?

  • Blondie_Gem Gemma Knight (@Blondie_Gem) reported

    @bt_uk are there issues going on in Didcot today? Internet is down for both us and next door, I WFH and we can't get hold of you via phone.

  • shefacedus Ravioli (@shefacedus) reported

    Saw @Openreach engineers outside my house all day and became so hopeful. They've since left and still no broadband so... I emerge to Day 19 of total loss of service. Do I get a milestone prize at day 20? @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    Yellow card to @bt_uk for no show of promised mini hub meant to arrive in advance of tomorrow day 22 of no service when @OpenreachHelp skilled exchange engineers are apparently booked to fix our problem. Does any of this ever work?

  • TheGamerChann12 CNN place (@TheGamerChann12) reported

    @DjIamLucky @bt_uk Hope you get an answer because my WiFi went down shout 3 week ago and they're still not giving out sorting any interest in fixing it. So they do is ask you to "pop your details for DPA" and your forgotten about. Lost my job because they can't send a trained engineer for the job

  • BD1888 Brendan Doyle (@BD1888) reported

    @bt_uk is there an issue with the email app? Can receive but not open emails.

  • DADam1988 Baldy (@DADam1988) reported

    @bt_uk BD21 5LP. Internet down....?????

  • jaywhay1 jwhay123 (@jaywhay1) reported

    @bt_uk I need to chat to someone and tonight won’t be any easier as most people will be home from work 🙈 basically It should NEVER be this difficult to chat to your supplier

  • CardyFreddie Freddie Cardy (@CardyFreddie) reported

    Don't know if it's the host broadcaster @windiescricket or problems with @btsport but the coverage of this England Women series there is an absolute joke #englandcricket

    @bt_uk I've been trying to call everyone I get some where they hangup on me I am getting fed up with the fail with my line

  • emdotdee MD (@emdotdee) reported

    @bt_uk how can I check my router is working properly? Ever since I regraded my wi-fi quality has been terrible. Still connected to internet but my devices (iPhones, iPads, laptop, etc) all lose connection. Even the Wi-Fi extender light goes red.

  • rootofginger Josh (@rootofginger) reported

    @englandcricket Wish the coverage from @btsport was better. I know they are relying on West Indies facilities but the camera angles and quality is terrible. The commentary sounds like it’s coming from the end of a tin can

  • jacquierevans Jacquie Evans (@jacquierevans) reported

    @bt_uk Do you still have a live chat service? I need to downgrade my package but you can only UPgrade online (I wonder why). Can't find live chat. Prefer live chat to phone as you have a record of what was discussed.

  • JSamuelatPlay John Samuel (@JSamuelatPlay) reported from Fair Oak, England

    @bt_uk sat waiting to get through to customer services. 20 minutes and counting, listening to endless awful music.

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    @bt_uk Not to sound ungrateful what we actually need is a full service restored. We have no phone service and a temporary fix. We still need tomorrow to happen. Day 22

  • TadpoleSun Tadpole Sun (@TadpoleSun) reported

    @englandcricket Can someone tell BTSport/Windies Cricket that the scorecard for WI Women has been covering the screen since the drinks break? …or is the video frozen but the commentary ploughing on? #btsportcricket Worst live stream ever!

  • Priddeons Anne-marie Walker (@Priddeons) reported

    @bt_uk fibre to premises been down since yesterday. Thought this didn’t happen with fibre? What is the problem and when will it be fixed? EN5

  • BeanZoomy Bean Zoomy 🎶 (@BeanZoomy) reported

    ☝🏼☝🏼 Still no change for such a terrible security breach @bt_uk #broadband Do you what to know if someone’s home? Are you stalking someone? Easy - Check their router to see if their device is connected. Had I known about this lack of privacy, I would not have switched to BT
