    @paullewismoney @bt_uk Virgin are doing the same to us in April - their letter "in the unlikely event there’s a power cut or a fibre network disruption, you won’t be abie to make or receive calls". Living in an area of bad mobile reception we won't be able to contact Emercency Services.

  • weejaw73 Julie 🍹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@weejaw73) reported

    @bt_uk hey I’ve sent a help DM

  • RichPayne86 Rich Payne (@RichPayne86) reported

    @YourSSE and @bt_uk seem to be in a competition to be the worst company in the UK. You're both absolutely useless.

  • millar_leon Leon Ashley Millar (@millar_leon) reported

    @bt_uk Please can someone help with this I’m getting frustrated now and I want so@done to take accountability. You have put this offer out if you can’t help please can we escalate this to a manager. Thank you.

  • LFCProgMan Andy Marsden* (@LFCProgMan) reported

    @bt_uk Jules you have a DM waiting. Please can you provide some good quality customer service going forward as to date NO service has been provided by @bt_uk or @OpenreachHelp who again remain silent of their shoddy workmanship

  • Losecontr0lx Jane Holt X (@Losecontr0lx) reported from Garswood, England

    @bt_uk my boyfriends got a situation with his newly installed wifi with you guys… can you please help? @Marty_Young17 x

  • TheRealJackieJ Jackie Johnston (@TheRealJackieJ) reported

    @bt_uk @yahoomail Hi. Got a new macbook. Trying to set up my yahoo mail. Tells me I need a code which will arrive by email. Codes never arrive. Is there a number I can ring please to sort this out.

  • willberrington Will (@willberrington) reported

    @bt_uk Honestly, this copy and paste answer doesn't help, Aideen. When people are struggling with bills enough as is, the base 5.4% rise for inflation isn't enough for you - you tack on an extra 3.9% for the sake of "investment." Isn't that what last year's billion in profit is for?

  • bobski2410 Bobby Cott (@bobski2410) reported

    @bt_uk are you guys aiming for a knighthood based on Gavin Williamsons contributions to being utterly useless? No internet, having to use my mobile hotspot to carry on working, which does restrict me and will leave me with a lovely fat bill from my mobile phone provider! help?

  • Mark_P0x0n 𝓥𝓲𝓮𝓾𝔁 𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓺𝓾𝓮 #FBPPR (@Mark_P0x0n) reported

    @bt_uk Not sure that helps: "... unplug any existing handsets from your old service, as these will no longer work". And if the 999 emergency is to report a power cut I will need a mobile phone (assuming that there's a signal from the nearby masts).

  • jayfitton1 jay fitton (@jayfitton1) reported

    @BTCare you are nothing but trouble. Reply to me, please

  • Sinc90 Simon Sinclair (@Sinc90) reported

    @bt_uk our broadband is down in SR6 and need it back up urgently. Is it local problem?

  • craggersgall Craig🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@craggersgall) reported

    @bt_uk WiFi is horrendous and the customer service is even worse

  • clarkydpimp Adam Clarke (@clarkydpimp) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I have been trying to get BT to delete all data you store for me as a previous customer under my right to erase but can not find an email address and your telephone reps are clueless on this topic, please advice?

  • MetabolomicMan Derek Stewart (@MetabolomicMan) reported

    @bt_uk I'll try from home first. Fine on the browser on mu phone so looks pc problem?

  • onthisdaythefa thefootballarchives.com (@onthisdaythefa) reported

    @LFCProgMan @bt_uk You can get a minimum of £5 per day that the service is delayed. 18 months ago openreach took 42 days to deliver my new line. That is a standard payment from openreach, then it's upto you to haggle a BT compo claim on top. Looking forward to my renewal date :)

  • RichPayne86 Rich Payne (@RichPayne86) reported

    @btbusinesscare No thanks, I'm moving to another supplier as we speak. FYI, @bt_uk is the worst company in the UK. I will never use any of your services again and that includes @EE .

  • gordoncraig18 Gordon Craig (@gordoncraig18) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for your marketing spiel. Still doesn’t help me with my paltry 3% increase in pension.

  • Lhasadreams Adrian Daniels (@Lhasadreams) reported

    @charlie79a @bt_uk I pay for their top level 900meg broadband and they don’t seem to get the fact that mid term contract increases do nothing but leave a bad taste. Sky and other vendors will be rubbing their hands together, several have emailed me! Roll on Jan when I can leave BT!

  • millar_leon Leon Ashley Millar (@millar_leon) reported

    @UswitchHelp awful customer service I have received after requesting a reward card from my broadband order you told me to go to @bt_uk they told me to come back to you please live Upto your promises and process the £90 reward

  • mnnklllnn mnnklllnn (@mnnklllnn) reported

    @btsportcricket @btsport Sir, I'm preparing for the university exam, but I'm out of money, I'm looking for a part-time job, but I haven't found it yet. I don't want to be a burden to my family, can you help? I'll pay when I find a job, sir, I promise.

  • M_Struthers Malcolm Struthers (@M_Struthers) reported

    I think I’ve been on hold to various companies for around 12 hours this week! @VodafoneUK prob has the best music, @bt_uk is very screechy! @edfenergy has a horrid voice thing which simply doesn’t work!

  • Bell98 Bell98 (@Bell98) reported

    @paullewismoney @bt_uk Just to add I have tried an assortment of sim cards - i.e. different network providers and they are all bad. The maps that show how wonderful the network coverage is are wrong.

  • Lhasadreams Adrian Daniels (@Lhasadreams) reported

    @charlie79a @bt_uk I will be doing the same, despite my best efforts BT are just not interested in keeping me as a customer. They will get a short term gain from me and then a long term loss - it really is a business that does not look after its customers.

  • bobski2410 Bobby Cott (@bobski2410) reported

    @bt_uk My standard philosophy is that I pay for a service that is adequate and working and not to pay for services that are not delivered… I trust I will be refunded for the inconvenience caused?

  • historynvintage Wiltshirewench (@historynvintage) reported

    @bt_uk hi. Not sure if you can help. My phone shows I’m connected to my home router but when I’m in certain rooms it drops out to 4G, even though on my Settings it still shows linked to home router. I’d like to be getting WiFi in all the rooms at home as we pay for it

  • reeve_antony Antony Reeve (@reeve_antony) reported

    @bt_uk yet again another price increase. 2 in my contract, was told it wouldn’t happen. Ask to put a complaint and get told I’ll be sent a letter. Ridiculous, £95 to cancel when you nearly £5 a month more then anywhere else. Disgusting treatment of customers.

  • justanotherkc Kris (@justanotherkc) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there. Can someone provide me with an update on an issue my mother is having. Called yesterday to report and they said would be fixed today. She is elderly and has a careline which isn’t working and causing her to worry as she lives alone.

  • bobski2410 Bobby Cott (@bobski2410) reported

    @bt_uk That response solves all the issues then doesn’t it… phew…🙄
