    @bt_uk Hi Rita. I have already checked however it doesn’t say what the issue is only that there is one. Can you provide more information on the fault please?

  • SandersonJim Jim Sanderson (@SandersonJim) reported

    @DeeClared @bt_uk There’s an @OpenreachHelp van that parks in Cottonmill Lane in a short term bay most of the week & is never ticketed or moved on

  • big_t20044 Anthony Sherburn (@big_t20044) reported

    @bt_uk Hi could you help? My network coverage has been rubbish for a couple of weeks.

  • Winslade1 Joe winslade (@Winslade1) reported

    @bt_uk hey! Any issues today I have several devices that are struggling to connect and keep dropping out... Any known issues?

  • cturner23a Mrs Martin (@cturner23a) reported

    @bt_uk I have just called your support number to get an engineer to visit. However, I know the problem is the external cable has been cut (as I did this when gardening). Is your engineer going to be able to fix it? It is for my neighbour who is blind & disabled.

  • PhilMarathons Phil G (@PhilMarathons) reported

    @FA @EE @btsport It so laughable that you don't support grass routs VI football in England - VI football is more then a FA tick to say they have done something

  • WEARETEGA TEGA Games (@WEARETEGA) reported

    @JBDT60 @bt_uk It could be the tv mate it probably has a limit. Even though smart tvs are nice they just have **** chips inside them. You should invest in a modern streaming box but do a bit of research to which box has a fast ethernet port.

  • DeeLynette13 Dee 🎮 (@DeeLynette13) reported

    @bt_uk Hiya, my mother is scheduled to have an engineer visit tomorrow, she booked this via your text service but hasn’t heard anything since, are you able to confirm that an engineer is attending?

  • chris_armin Chris Armin (@chris_armin) reported

    @JBDT60 @AndyCas01591466 @bt_uk Is there not an app that comes with the router that allows you to prioritise the order of your Wifi connections? I’ve just upgraded to the TalkTalk version of Future fibre and the Eero router lets you pick where the wifi signal goes to in order of preference.

  • Coopy2 W (@Coopy2) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for replying, it is not a monthly pass. I will call in order to cancel. Thanks again.

  • cturner23a Mrs Martin (@cturner23a) reported

    @bt_uk My understanding is a problem with the external line running down the front of the property is the responsibility of Openreach not BT. Is this correct?

  • TheTwelfthM4N T (@TheTwelfthM4N) reported

    @BTCare @drsje3 I took out my BT services in 18th Jan 2022, service installed after number of promises in 27th April

  • sharri44 Simon Harris (@sharri44) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, Microsoft have blocked my access to my account with them until I respond to a verification mail which I don't seem to be getting. They have said my email provider (you) must be blocking it. Can you help please? Thanks.

  • TDBuckles84 tom b (@TDBuckles84) reported

    @bt_uk 🤔- can you help with a termination fee?

  • ClaireBegbie Claire Begbie (@ClaireBegbie) reported

    @bt_uk Still no internet and not once have I been contacted with an update even though I’ve been promised twice, 12th May it went down this is beyond a joke!!! Bt communication is worse than the service itself!

  • nigenealogist Roots Revealed (@nigenealogist) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you but someone from BT is already looking into it. I am waiting for a resolution.

  • TDBuckles84 tom b (@TDBuckles84) reported

    @bt_uk I have spoken to them now and they have sorted it. Can you help me with an early termination fee?

  • erizachu Eliza (@erizachu) reported

    please @bt_uk What is going on with your services at the moment? people around me going weeks without internet and phone service and now I’m being affected. People rely on your services for work, health, etc. It seems like no one is bothering to fix the problem right now.

  • BigLouComedy 😁 BIG LOU 😁 (@BigLouComedy) reported

    Massive thanks to @bt_uk #CustomerService who stood up to the plate when @Plusnet shafted me! Thanks to BT Dundee Service Desk, I won’t be without Internet for four weeks! #Plusnet Sales Team we’re disgusting and extremely rude #NeverAgain

  • JBDT60 Joe (@JBDT60) reported

    @IRDodd @bt_uk Yeah this is the new BT Full Fibre. Not that impressed as the signal in other rooms isn’t much better than before… very strong by the router only ?

  • Sterrick94 Stezz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Sterrick94) reported

    @bt_uk hello, are your phone lines still open today? I have a very urgent query/complaint that I need to get sorted

  • Gilly1002 Gilly1002 (@Gilly1002) reported

    @bt_uk we are experiencing problems with our internet, we have been all day. Re booted many times. Our postcode is BB4 9LU.....any reported problems in the area?

  • KruscovacKid Trebor Sille (@KruscovacKid) reported

    @bt_uk If you could send someone who can actually fix the problem, now that would be a great help!

  • Winslade1 Joe winslade (@Winslade1) reported

    @bt_uk Still having issues and don't think it's right to text you and be charged by my mobile provider can someone call me

  • AuthorJaneM Jane Murray Writes (@AuthorJaneM) reported

    BT are here, well, Openreach. But things are not improving, although those poor people in @btbusinesscare will be getting it in the ear on Monday because apparently, I DO have Full Fibre, I AM connected, its juat that their flaming equipmemt doesn't work!!!

  • kukiebiscuit Kuks (@kukiebiscuit) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Brian, checked again. Nothing. I had called about this previously that my service intermittently goes down and my 4G on my phone was how I know- when I'm home in term break! 😡Not happy

  • 1neilc1 Neil (@1neilc1) reported

    @mrjakehumphrey Even when your parents tell you what really happened you still don’t offer an apology for spouting the UEFA narrative; I understand it was the only info you had at the time but now you know better you should be on BTSport with a public apology, or you are as bad as the scum paper

  • Carol86707227 Carol (@Carol86707227) reported

    @bt_uk no broadband in Sevenoaks area. Can you confirm what the issue is please and whether this is being actively resolved. Thanks

  • Growley94 Gail Rowley (@Growley94) reported

    BT broadband connection is terrible today! 🤪 @bt_uk
