BT (British Telecom) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mbooton Mike Booton (@mbooton) reported from Swindon, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the contact but he already has this service. Unfortunately all the scammers do is use a rolling number so it's new every time they call. My Dad is no longer capable of putting numbers into a junk or block folder. We have to do it for him. So this doesn't stop calls.

  • carol2clark Carol Clark (@carol2clark) reported from Aberdeen, Scotland

    @bt_uk she called BT to say NO but it was cut off yesterday - can’t speak to anyone at BT to get this fixed ASAP - atrocious service - loyal customer@for over 50 years

  • _gary_white_ Gary White (@_gary_white_) reported from Merton, England

    Hi @bt_uk, I had an engineer booked next week to install full fibre, and was told today by email that this would be put back by TWO MONTHS. That’s an awful way to treat customers.

  • 5561CL Cristián [at 🇬🇧] (@5561CL) reported from Brentford, England

    Is internet down @bt_uk at nw10 3qu?

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • livefr33diehard C.N. (@livefr33diehard) reported from Bromley, England

    @bt_uk excellent customer service from Tom this morning. Refreshing to actually have people who are committed to solving your problem. Best experience I’ve had with BT and I’ve been a customer for 6yrs +. Just to add it wasn’t the outcome I wanted but can’t fault Tom for trying!

  • DebsRWalton Deborah Walton (@DebsRWalton) reported from Prees, England

    @bt_uk Thank you - shame about the lies and broken promises along the way - it’s certainly a positive start to the working week.

  • ca95014 Dom 🎧📱👨🏼‍💻 (@ca95014) reported from Liss, England

    @bt_uk It’s quite a specific scenario - it’s BT Sport 1 when I record UFC. So typically 2-3am on a weekend. Last night, for example. Very rarely issues with other channels recording, but at least 75% of the time the UFC has issues.

  • smunro23 Sheila Munro (@smunro23) reported from Armadale, Scotland

    @bt_uk I raised a complaint re spam emails and it has now been closed with the issue still live. The email letting me know this ended up in this spam folder!!!! The only way I can contact you re this is by phone or writing. Can you please give me an email address?

  • srounce Shane Rounce (@srounce) reported from Sheffield, England

    @bt_uk Having issues again right now. Gonna try texting FIX to that number and see if I can run one of these automated tests. Issues always seem to be out of support hours which is basically all of my working hours.

  • ca95014 Dom 🎧📱👨🏼‍💻 (@ca95014) reported from Liss, England

    @bt_uk Yep. Reset the adapters, reset the box. This only happens with BT Sport, no other channels have the issue.

  • srounce Shane Rounce (@srounce) reported from Sheffield, England

    @bt_uk It’s not just down for me it seems. Got fiends on BT and EE across Sheffield reporting the same problem.

  • timhardinguk Tim Harding (@timhardinguk) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk The most inept company in the UK, call yourselves a communications company ! you couldn’t connect dots on a dot to dot child sheet let alone connect a new build property, customer for over 29 years! useless

  • Jmaguire2 Joe Maguire (@Jmaguire2) reported from Hackney, England

    @btsport commentary has to be the worst thing, they're just talking rubbish. 'not a bad game this' is the least useful comment you could come up with

  • martinborgars Martin Borgars (@martinborgars) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @BTCare You really need to sort out your customer service support phone lines. Is having to wait 27 minutes to get a response really acceptable?

  • doncasterman Doncasterman (@doncasterman) reported from Doncaster, England

    @bt_uk Any reason for second day running your engineers are going to fail to turn up for an appointment?

  • MarkPaton84 Paton (@MarkPaton84) reported from Lambeth, England

    For gods sake @bt_uk not only has my extortionate bt broadband been down for most of the day but I’ve now been on hold for almost 40 minutes for the 3rd call I’ve made today. Shite.

  • mbooton Mike Booton (@mbooton) reported from Swindon, England

    @bt_uk Thanks. After waiting on hold for 45 mins to get told that by customer services, we shall indeed be buying such a unit. I'm still surprised you can't simply block all but a handful of numbers.

  • NorthSeasider PaulDarrellSlingsby (@NorthSeasider) reported from Hornsea, England

    @AnnePvanVliet @bt_uk Did you get this sorted? I’m running in circles with nobody helping. There are 10 pages of people with the same issue on the community board....
