BT (British Telecom) Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ian Robson (@GFX2001) reported@Ofcom @bt_uk I do not understand why it is so difficult to report Nuisance Calls / Hang-ups. You have to complete a very lengthy form for a Call. And each Call you have to re-enter all the details again. And then to get to the "I Am Not Robot" pictures that don't work.
-
shullup it worked out (@ClarkeDdmthe1st) reported@bt_uk now being told there’s a area fault that will take a week to fix?! A WEEK. Forget using this service and forget using @EE as providers. No urgency at all. Pathetic
-
Vince (@vinc3h4ll) reported@keithapearson I’ve got a btclick account that was pre 2000, but I have no way of finding exact age as no web based access any more, @bt_uk can you help
-
Mat Oliver (@CrackedRearView) reported@VodafoneUK Nice to see my full fibre connection has wet itself. Not a hardware issue my end, and I never got a single drop with @bt_uk any works going on local to Elmswell Suffolk? This package isn’t cheap!
-
Karen ♿🌞💐 🇬🇧 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇪🇺 (@MrsXXV25) reported@bt_uk, has there been a broadband outage in Lanarkshire? I’ve restarted our BT Hub but it has made no difference.
-
NFTupperware (@TupperwareNFT) reported@mongrelcelt @bt_uk Don't call them, the slimy bastards will deny anything said on the phone. Raise an official complaint in writing. Send to their executive office for escalation. This is the exact reason I no longer have a bb contract. Had issues with 2 many providers. Now use pp SIM in 5g router
-
me (@shenry1972) reportedI'd like to thank @bt_uk for leaving my vulnerable elderly mother without a working phone line for almost a week and giving such atrocious customer service.
-
DJ Dinamique 🇫🇷 🏴 💙 (@DJDinamique) reported@CarersUK @bt_uk What I don't understand is now @bt_uk are moving people to VOIP (because that's what it is) they still have that idea that you can only have an hour free even though if you hang up at 59 minutes and call again it remains free. It feels like a trap.
-
Andrew Glover (@thequestingvole) reportedJust cancelled my @bt_uk broadband and TNT sport contracts after a half hour verbal ding **** with one of their team in Belfast questioning my decision making and slagging off my new supplier as 'I've never heard of them'. Stay strong folks.
-
Justine (@bean0509) reportedCustomer service really is everything. @bt_uk has the best customer service in the country in my opinion and I’ve spoken to a lot of companies. I’d rather have someone helpful to talk to than have 42 extra club card points a month.
-
Justine Clement (@JustClembo) reported@bt_uk They’ve spent hours and hours doing that and even your team say it’s a complete mess and a shambles. It’s a disgrace, being the worst, most stressful aspect of moving house. How can you be proud of that as a business and service?
-
Justine Clement (@JustClembo) reported@bt_uk what an absolute disgrace of a service you’ve ‘given’ my 84yr old parents moving house from Wales to Selsey. It has been the single most stressful part of moving home & still not resolved. Between you & @EE you’ve stressed them to the hilt & they’ll be 4wks no internet
-
ABC (@charl32647) reportedThere is no doubt that @bt_uk are one of the worst customer service companies in the UK if not the world. A total joke of a business.
-
TobyBailey - will follow back (@bailey_toby) reported@Steve__Paxton When I call my bank @firstdirect a person answers the phone. A person that wants to help me. They have a very swift verification process. And my calls usually take a maximum of 1-2 minutes. Love it. But then there are times I have to call @bt_uk …. Or Thames water. FML!!!
-
Shoshanah Cohen (@sc2987) reported@bt_uk And if she were going to switch mobile providers, it would be to Giffgaff, as we're all with them. Not you. You should never be pushing extra services on people moving to a social tariff (or anyone, but especially those likely to be vulnerable).
-
Dr Pauline Nelson (@DrP_Manc) reported@bt_uk your service is SO appalling. Elderly relative who depends on landline without phone line for 5 DAYS and you have totally failed to fix within the promised time. Formal complaint coming. Poor, poor, poor 👎
-
Karen ♿🌞💐 🇬🇧 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇪🇺 (@MrsXXV25) reported@bt_uk I can’t see anything to describe what to do if the modem LOS light is red. This level of customer service is unacceptable. I’m physically disabled and it’s incredibly painful for me to get low down enough to see or work on the modem. Wish we’d never joined BT.
-
Kelly (@holby_fan) reportedI need to cancel my fibre order. It hasn't arrived yet but I haven't seeked permission from the council @bt_uk
-
This Brown Geek (@thisbrowngeek) reportedStaying in an AirBNB and the place has an @EE TV box. Even if you record something, you CAN’T fast forward adverts on the recording. Why would ANYONE pay for this absolute bullshit?! Typical nonsense from @bt_uk I see you haven’t become less **** since I quit working for you clowns.
-
Karla (@SaffyBun) reported@bt_uk Hello, I can only find phone numbers to contact customer services. I cannot call, I need written communication. How can I contact someone in writing about TV? It's ridiculous how difficult it's become to manage my account online now.
-
Loftus Rogue (@LoftusRogue) reportedMoved into a new flat. I’d had trouble with my @bt_uk Wi-Fi in the old place, so this time I thought: let’s pop do it properly. I upgraded to a more expensive Full Fibre package. Foolproof.
-
MARK FISHER (@MARKFIS77921435) reported@bt_uk No point contacting you again you do nothing and don't care you have left a 95 yr old stranded with out a phone for 4 days. Disgraceful service
-
This Brown Geek (@thisbrowngeek) reported@mrmikeMTL Yes. I worked for @bt_uk for almost 20 years. I left because they were destroying my life with how stupid they were.
-
Daniel Factor (@DanielFactor79) reported@DavidPi74336203 @bt_uk Refuse to pay. If they send balifts round tell them to **** off
-
Daniel Factor (@DanielFactor79) reportedWHY IS MY INTERNET SO SLOW YOU ******* **** EATING *****? @bt_uk
-
wynne carter 🔶#FBPE🇺🇦 (@gvs368) reported@bt_uk I've now raised a formal complaint with BT. I have the emails and now a screenshot of an Openreach build status map for the Newport on Tay exchange showing we don't have plans to build any further in this area.!
-
John Adams (@JohnAdamsEbble) reportedWhat a totally negative experience calling @bt_uk has been. I’ve been trying to cancel an order for a month without success. 12 calls, endlessly on hold listening to appalling music. NO ONE seems able or willing to revert the order. Complaint ref number C10003089417 @Ofcom
-
Kate (@ManiacSpaniel) reported@bt_uk I’m still blocked from my btinternet email weeks later. Your customer care person said someone would call but they didn’t. How can I resolve this? I have important information in that email account and you’ve stopped me accessing it with no warning.
-
Jon Barnes (@jonbarnes10) reported@bt_uk you app, your website and your twitter account is useless. Dont bother having a twitter account if your answer to “my app is not allowing me to make purchases” is to download the app is the epitome of your customer service
-
On-On-On (@clark1919acaw) reported@bt_uk Hi - sorry, I mean the internet connection has been down all day, so we have been cash only in our store all day .. hopefully it back in tomorrow
