Sev (@Sevka_T) reportedHi, I haven't been a customer since 2024 and today I am receiving texts and emails saying my trial is coming to an end. What is going on? @bt_uk
-
madmax889 (@madmax889) reported@bt_uk So I have to pay to call you on a premium number from a non bt mobile (I don’t use the landline with you) for an issue your end as never had a problem logging in before.
-
andrealenehan (@tilly4071) reported@bt_uk wow BT - when are you going to learn that supporting loyal customers is just as important as getting new ones. 30 years with BT internet/broadband, paying bills every month means nothing except I have to pay £30 more than a new customer. Account now cancelled!
-
Robin Shaw (@RSh234) reported@phillyonskem @bt_uk Totally agree. Literally hours on calls to ‘Guides’, only a few of which actually help, processes which ignore issues and no recourse without escalating to the Ombudsman!
-
Julie Chrimes (@jueandgaz) reported@btbusinesscare I’m sick to death of trying to get my issue solved, 6 months and you still haven’t sorted it, shame on BT Business 😡
-
Claire #JusticeForNoah (@ClaireMadMax) reported@juliandc @bt_uk Also many places in rural Northern Ireland and Britain don't have any mobile phone signal at all
-
RichNotRich (@sideangleballs) reported@bt_uk @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness Broadband down all morning. Constantly being told there are no faults is not helping me get online. Help please 🙏
-
Colin Burns (@ColinWBurns) reported@JimSpenceDundee @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk Spineless from those who did the damage. Whatever happened to being honest and owning up to one’s mistakes?
-
Warren Peters (@wizza_wozza) reported@bt_uk Why can’t you @bt_uk send an engineer out to sort it out? Surely if you’re getting multiple requests over a period of days about a particular account at least you can do is investigate or take in interest on whether the issue has been fixed?
-
TechbooUK 🔥 (@techboouk) reportedSorry to my followers, I'm in the process of finding another service provider before GTA6 release. and getting rid of my @bt_uk subscription. Thankfully most of my gaming accounts are now moved away from @bt_uk email address.
-
Josh (@_JoshDenham) reportedHi guys, is there any reason why my Broadband Hub won't connect this evening? I've tried the usual off and on again, factory reset but no connection whatsoever! Please help? @bt_uk
-
Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported@Walesguy2 @bt_uk Mark, it's been a known issue for months.
-
T 🏴 (@mr_tjc) reported@btsport @EE @SkySportsF1 I`m not sure who to contact about this tbh but my BT box TV guide is showing the Indycar race should have started at 18:00 on Sky F1. Instead it`s yet another re-run of today`s F1 race. This is not the first time this has happened. Really poor.
-
Di- Rect..🎗️🇮🇱🇬🇧(To The Point) (@ReformedMr) reported@bt_uk She has tried that. She has been pulled from Pillar to post. It’s really not on the way she’s been dealt with and my heart goes out to her cause I’m at work and there’s nothing I can do except hear her sobbing down the phone.. getting her to ring the team directly is a waste
-
Paul Cawood 🇺🇦 (@audlemagronpaul) reported@HefinR @BTCare They are competing with @BritishGas for levels of customer engagement. It’s a close race !
-
mrchrisjohn (@mrchrisjohn) reported@bt_uk There is an issue with 2FA Your support team are having to turn off the 2FA security and will take 72 hours to resolve
-
Josh (@_JoshDenham) reported@bt_uk So the service is down according to the website, but nothing anywhere before logging into my account, or yourselves here, acknowledged that beforehand. When can I expect my access to the broadband to be back?
-
(((Ian McKenzie))) 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇬🇱 (@iMcKenzied) reportedUpdate on the @bt_uk fiasco. After 48 years as a customer I’m told I have to pay up to March despite never having signed anything nor being told I had a new contract. The new residents take over the line in 8 days so BT will be paid twice. There’s a name for that. Fraud.
-
GG (@G1NG3R_N1NJA_13) reported@bt_uk your health check isn’t working. Your stupid robot tells me my speeds are fine. I’m playing ps5 on a wired connection with an upload varying between 15-20 and it should be 100. There is clearly an issue and I cannot do a thing about it.
-
Suraj Bithal (@BithalSuraj) reported@bt_uk @EE 1 month into a new internet deal and now the 3rd time I have been disconnected due to your poor admin. Been messed around numerous times. 2 engineer visits (5m each), 2 routers , 2 contracts , no email comms ...internet down today due to contract swap over , no comms .
-
RichNotRich (@sideangleballs) reported@bt_uk @btbusinesscare My business broadband has been down all morning and in my efforts to log in to fault check you've now locked me out of my account! Help please!!
-
Stephen Sharples (@sharpysharps) reported@WeAreOpenreach And then there is @bt_uk who are just beyond useless and unable to get any info at all on the problem after being kept on hold for an hour. Absolutely tinpot from both companies.
-
Carol Lord (@CarolLo58903853) reported@bt_uk is there a broadband issue in some areas this pm? The call delay suggests yes. I can't stand at the top of the garden for 90mins to wait for a call back from you and 'WiFi calling' indoors obviously isn't working. Very frustrating 😕
-
star6 (@s_starrr6) reported@bt_uk unbelievable service, booked an engineer two weeks in advance only to be told now that ive been missed and the next time slot is in another two weeks! Can i get someone out quicker, atrocious
-
jenny leyshon (@jennyleyshon) reported@bt_uk absolutely useless - TV is slow in buffering and laptop is slow but do you think I can talk to somebody with a bit of common sense? No. Been told everything is fine but it’s not. I want an engineer out to fix as I need to be able to work from home.
-
Mike Seaton (@mikeseat) reported@bt_uk I cancelled my service on the 25th July. The guy explained the 30 day notice period (despite being out of contract) and that services would cease on 25th August. However ive just recieved another bill and My BT says another is due in September! Can someone dm me pls
-
Eddie Crouch (@EddieCrouch) reportedAfter 30 years with @bt_uk I have switched to @SkyUK for my broadband phone and TV package . A £40 per month rise was the reason and an almost identical service for 50% less . Wonder how much I have lost by not switching sooner ?
-
Roibeard Mhuiris (@RMhuiris) reported@JimSpenceDundee @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk 2) ...even though their network and ducts are right outside the properties the pole serves. They've caused so much trouble and wasted so much of my time, I've had to put the matter on hold. You can't allow anyone to disrupt your life to such an extent.
-
Ian Robson (@GFX2001) reported@bt_uk What is the point of having different methods to Contact BT if the ONLY method that can resolve a problem is a Telephone Number you must call!
-
Professor Bu’Ger De Fino ™️🥶 (@maskcempt) reported@maisiethetortie @NLeespeaking We (@bt_uk) have to ‘send a text’ to the 3rd party mobile phone that IS working, so we can continue this conversation about the actual BT landline not working. We’ll spend the next 15 mins sending silly codes to the only WORKING telephone !
