    @bt_uk @NRManc they’ve messed up everyone’s account - it be worried they are taking money from old customers so check your bank - they aren’t acknowledging the issue

    SeanMynyddLlangynidr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 🇵🇸 (@SeanLlangynidr) reported

    @bt_uk I've called that number over 20 times, no chance I'm going to be put on hold listening to mindless muzak again. I need my service fixed so as I can move to another ISP. If it is not resolved within another 4 days, I will be going to a solicitor. I've had enough of your lies.

    @weatherbraine @bt_uk @Ofcom We went away from BT due to their service. Who in their right mind uses Evri?

    @bt_uk Did you read my message correctly? I do not have signal to call!

  • Staggly
    Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported

    @bt_uk @M300bt3 i’ve had multiple calls and they just say we are trying to fix it - they don’t care - it’s breach of contract surely and they need to compensate us

  • simboman
    Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported

    @stokeygurl @bt_uk Sadly, BT are fobbing you off. This is a known issue and clearing your cache won't work. If it does by all means come back and update us. I've calIed 150 several times now about this issue and no resolution. I have asked for a paper bill and 7 days on and I'm still waiting.

  • Staggly
    Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported

    @bt_uk @ralphaverbuch but they will put you hold , be rude to you and ultimately do nothing - we are paying for service that you are not providing - answer us on here

  • GraemeDavis
    Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reported

    @bt_uk Your comment sounds fine @bt_uk but your team in this line appear not to be authorised to cancel an appointment and not rebook it. How do I contact someone whohas the authorisation to do this?

  • JonD_Chadwick
    Jon Chadwick (@JonD_Chadwick) reported

    @bt_uk BT email not working. Two phone calls, two completely different answers. Still not working

  • Ang_ryScotsman
    Angry Scotsman (@Ang_ryScotsman) reported

    @bt_uk Every time I go into the support we spend two hours. They do automated tests from some call centre abroad and tell me that my system's working fine. It hasn't been working fine since November so I'm just waiting to leave my contract.

  • TheParagram
    Ethan Keating (@TheParagram) reported

    So the cheapest to renew my @bt_uk contract is £57 a month but a new customer can get it for £38 a month? I've already phoned and they can't knock anything off the price... Switching to @EE is no cheaper either... make it make sense

  • technicslover
    Technicslover (@technicslover) reported

    @bt_uk can advertise all they like, but the fact remains they are an anti white super woke organisation who's sole purpose is to rip ******** out of people. Really hope they go out of business and take @EE with them.

  • VicJohnson04
    Vicky Johnson (@VicJohnson04) reported

    @skytv £39.95 to send me a new box and I have to install it myself! when I’m already with you! Daylight bloody robbery @bt_uk I think you’ve got yourself a new customer!!!!

  • MissSatanism
    DemonicSuccubus (@MissSatanism) reported

    @bt_uk We’ve done this. But they don’t help. You guys give no help whatsoever. You are genuinely useless. How can you not provide an update based on postcode?

  • VaeVix
    Vae Vix 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 (@VaeVix) reported

    @bt_uk It's useless if you can't check the number is the number of the person... It's just a hindrance for the customer that gives absolutely zero security.

  • em_doapsi
    Emma (@em_doapsi) reported

    Whoever owns the local mast… @bt_uk needs to fix it because it is now constantly cutting out. I use my mobile phone as a landline too so it’s inconvenient. I have been with two networks and same issue so it’s deffo local mast.

  • MarkTheSnap
    Mark Howell (@MarkTheSnap) reported

    So, this new digital voice from @bt_uk If the internet is down you can't use your landline. Guess what, the internet is down so we don't have a phone. We can't get a mobile signal in our area, that's why we have a landline. This is progress apparently.

  • nemurikyosirou
    Kenta (@nemurikyosirou) reported

    @bt_uk Hi @bt_uk , I have already called 0330 1234 150, but the agent refused to resolve the issue and insisted on the payment. I will NOT call again to be ignored. I have proof of cancellation and equipment return.

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @TerryPDunn @bt_uk I'm also angry & frustrated that for weeks @BT 'guides' have taken my calls for help and either said they have passed the problem to technical team or latest contact was escalated to complaint & complaint closed within minutes of it being taken.

  • Jessica67669786
    Jessica (@Jessica67669786) reported

    @ArmchairAdml @bt_uk this elderly gentleman has been a loyal customer for many years. He is now out of contract paying an extortionate price. Surely you can assist him in obtaining a reasonable priced package for his needs, and perhaps issue a refund for out of contract price hike?

  • blairjoyce3
    JoycieB (@blairjoyce3) reported

    @bt_uk 8 weeks ago you mis-sold my elderly parents a 900mb broadband package which we have been trying to cancel since, despite your "5 working days" claim. I won't go into additional details here, as it continues to get worse, but I am absolutely disgusted with your company

  • FayeLcarter
    Faye Carter (@FayeLcarter) reported

    @bt_uk I have been passed around for 2 hours between different teams to get a new hub. I get a different answer every time. I have a message from the first one saying a new hub will be sent he just needs to put me through to the tech team. Please can someone HELP

    @bt_uk If your take the time to check & converse with each other you would see that several people have all been in touch saying the same thing ! Obviously it is a problem your end. Giving me another reason to leave

  • KerZE87
    emze (@KerZE87) reported

    @bt_uk I already know there’s an issue as this was discussed on a community Facebook page. But it would’ve been nice to have been told by email or text that there was an issue.

  • theRedun
    Rob (@theRedun) reported

    @bt_uk @EE @BTBusiness currently on the #caravanclub site at Clumber Park, Notts, paying for “premium WiFi” and it’s painfully slow, no faster than the free version, caravan club staff say it’s nothing to do with them, report it to you! How do I report it to you?

  • markll64
    Mark Llewellyn (@markll64) reported

    @bt_uk Your email security is blocking access to the mail server as it suspects the network I’m on… works sometimes, then stops, change network and it’s a lottery if it works or not… I’ve setup a forward to gmail

  • GFX2001

    @bt_uk Pensioner upgrade to Digital but gets free upgrade. Engineer comes and goes. Before two working Analog Phones after one working (same Analog Phone connected to the Hub) second not working (extension). To get two working phones customer must pay extra (engineer + Phone).

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @bt_uk 2/2 Subsequent calls & one did say there was 'a known issue'. Called before i went away & made a complaint that as I said earlier, was reported closed almost immediately after confirmation email said it was being processed

    @bt_uk can't get into my account ever since you updated your system, so my bill is now overdue due to your issues
