  • greg9rovers Greg Wallace (@greg9rovers) reported

    @bt_uk No faults listed. No internet connection. Every colour under the rainbow, both still and flashing. The only colour missing is a blue solid one. (Mainly flashing purple and then orange). Prices went up, service went down. Zero surprises there.

  • bobbyjac1 @bobbyjac275 #bobbyjac (@bobbyjac1) reported

    @bt_uk Unbelievable time Nick Lane needs 2 earn his full salary what a state to be in that ID number should provide my details - I have spent 5+ hours chasing after BT today No more this is like the Chinese water treatment drip drip drip - Excellent Service is the pits 4 me Sorry

  • VIC_Bright_eyes Victoria Lawson (@VIC_Bright_eyes) reported

    @BTCare @EE I’ve been loyal BT customer & never had a problem,UNTIL they change you to EE! 5 days now and STILL waiting for my number to port over. I’ve lost business and other important calls. This is shocking customer service!! Still waiting…

  • RooPritchard Ruairidh (@RooPritchard) reported

    Hate to moan about companies on here, but after five engineer visits over the past 10 months, I am still having an absolute nightmare with my @bt_uk broadband. 50 drops in services in May. Still no solution. Sixth engineer visit booked for Monday, and my patience is all but lost

  • bobbyjac1 @bobbyjac275 #bobbyjac (@bobbyjac1) reported

    @bt_uk Multiple change overs - That said its been like this for a number of years no problem. So I have not changed my mode of working. I cannot keep changing passwords every time I log in - Shows your developers are not switched on, they have missed a trick somewhere

  • cleary885 Steve Cleary885 (@cleary885) reported

    @bt_uk why can I not speak to someone? Phone and broadband gone down and all I can get is some automated text saying you will let me know in 48 hours if an engineer is coming? We both work from home and are now screwed. Here to help????

  • RogeeDave2 Dave Rogerson (@RogeeDave2) reported

    @bt_uk Is there an issue with Eurosport on BT TV it was 412 and now channel has disappeared

  • RooPritchard Ruairidh (@RooPritchard) reported

    @bt_uk I called again today to reopen/relodge my previous complaint, but as an engineer has been booked against a new fault ref.

  • Debbo74 Rob Debenham (@Debbo74) reported

    @bt_uk you are the worst tv and broadband provider I’ve ever had the misfortune to use. Wish @virginmedia provided services here.

  • tacootje Taco de Vries (@tacootje) reported

    @andysc @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I remember my own horror when my fiber to the home in Kingston Upon Thames with Virgin stopped working and i called them and they told me to expect someone in 6 weeks. When I lived in NYC, similar problem addressed same day! Whazzup UK?

  • UnitedMacca Macca (@UnitedMacca) reported

    If you’re in a broadband contract with @bt_uk want to get out of it just find some random address in Hull, ring up saying you’re moving their and they’ll cancel with no charge as they cant provide service there You’re welcome 👍

  • eserge01 S 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒍 (@eserge01) reported

    @btbusinesscare Can you fix your crummy service please, the speed is never constant and the internet cuts out too frequently and I only signed up 3 months ago. In addition the signal strength from the hub is not good and Vodafone’s old hub that i had 5 years ago was better

  • Debbo74 Rob Debenham (@Debbo74) reported

    @bt_uk Constant problems with the service, expected to troubleshoot myself, vastly overpriced for the poor quality and poor service and poor customer service

  • omercayir1 Ömz (@omercayir1) reported

    @TerryWhenman @bt_uk am having the same problem too

  • AAndyhiggie60 andyhiggiejft96 (@AAndyhiggie60) reported

    @CharlieFitzh @btsport My god you sad person of a man prob a rent boy big with talk never say it to ones face big ******* prick i know make out your a hard man not likr most rent boys 10 yrs rent boy fan

  • greg9rovers Greg Wallace (@greg9rovers) reported

    As soon as my contact is up with @bt_uk I'm going straight over to @virginmedia the worst thing I ever did was go with @bt_uk wouldn't it be nice to have a full 24 hours where the broadband is what I've paid for?

  • volatilecherry Jo (@volatilecherry) reported

    @bt_uk it's now been 2 years you've been sending me texts about someone else's services, engineer visits and service disruptions. I've called to tell you, twice. I can't imagine how pissed off the other person is, for not getting any messages. Sort it out please.

  • jocarter28 Jo Carter (@jocarter28) reported

    @bt_uk How do i make a complaint about an engineer who claims to have visited and never did.

  • PeteLomasPi Pete Lomas (@PeteLomasPi) reported

    @andysc @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp Since they are eventually (I hope) going to need to come out to fix it - why not just ask you where you are and come and fix it. How hard can it be (very it seems).

  • sleepyisbe 💖 isbe's here 💖 (@sleepyisbe) reported

    @bt_uk I am absolutely horrified at watching how you've handled the complaints process after my brother had his brand new mobile phone handset stolen before it ever arrived. The way he's been treated is genuinely shocking. Has anyone else had this problem of theft from BT?

  • andysc Andy Stanford-Clark (@andysc) reported

    @PeteLomasPi @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp well, they did actually come and fix the severed fibre yesterday… but my CPE/OTU/fibre modem thingy still isn’t connecting.

  • RogeeDave2 Dave Rogerson (@RogeeDave2) reported

    @TerryWhenman @bt_uk I have exactly the same issue. Same channels missing so I am missing the Tennis 😞

  • Angels35Karen Karen Potter (@Angels35Karen) reported

    @BTCare any reason why my broadband is dropping out over the past few days ? Paying for a full service and not getting the service I’ve paid for !! #nothappybt

  • greg9rovers Greg Wallace (@greg9rovers) reported

    @MerKittea @SkyUK @bt_uk Go with Sky. BT down.. AGAIN. It drops more often than Mo Salah

  • DaveClarksonAUS David Clarkson (@DaveClarksonAUS) reported

    @andysc @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp My wife was so frustrated with an ongoing call centre/engineer disconnect, she ran into the road and flagged down a Virgin van that happened to be passing and arranged to switch. True story!

  • RooPritchard Ruairidh (@RooPritchard) reported

    @bt_uk I called again today to reopen/relodge a complaint but was told I can't, as an engineer has already been booked for Monday against a new fault ref.

    @bt_uk BT - Nick Lane MD of Retail customer services I suspect when he arrives home he runs around the kitchen clapping his hands 2 the money he has made 4 such a shocking service - BT makes reference 2 Excellent Service - Liars total rubbish in my case - Nightmare Money 4 old numbers

  • CrapAimer George (@CrapAimer) reported

    @JeffStelling Maybe if Sky and btsport gave less money to the epl and distributed it around the leagues then the smaller clubs wouldn’t have to try and keep up with the stupid wages the big teams are paying to attract semi decent players

  • hyperbearded Richard Adam Mawer (@hyperbearded) reported

    @bt_uk Ive got no/low internet signal in one of the upstairs bedrooms & we've been told we'd need to pay for an engineer to come out? Doesn't sound right to me. And to add to that now the bill has gone up £3 a month to £30! That's the same as Sky but we've only got internet!
