    @ahdamnsoper @bt_uk Honestly, frightening. Poor girl felt the need to defend them I said don't worry I know you need to, it's these scumbags making the rules who need to answer though, not you.

  • Casafinasusi Casa Fina (@Casafinasusi) reported

    @bt_uk Our broadband is down in SP3 Is there a problem?

  • timmysoft Timmy Soft (@timmysoft) reported

    Hey @bt_uk I’ve had terrible internet, terrible customer service and now I actually have no broadband. I’ve reported you to the ombudsman for repeated failures, deception and repeatedly closing my unresolved case. I’m looking forward to my big refund and compensation

  • MelonPrinceToni Aaron Aubeck (@MelonPrinceToni) reported

    @bt_uk over 2 months, 2 engineer appointments and multiple calls to you as well as promised callbacks that never happen and still no internet. As new customers we are seriously questioning if it's worth continuing with you.

  • _zoitsa Zoe Dddds (@_zoitsa) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Luke! Umm, I don't know - basically our BT Wifi box is by the front door, and there's no way we can get a cable to the TV (two rooms away) We came across this solution but they're no longer available - so not sure what our options are? Thanks! Zoe

  • ferringferret Vandelay industries (@ferringferret) reported

    @bt_uk Hey! there's global known issues with your Smart Hub 2 recent firmware update (version V0.26.03.01286) which stops @Sonos working. Are you going to fix this so that I can use my speakers again? Regards

  • UmperL umperLumper (@UmperL) reported

    @agoda unfortunately @bt_uk have erroneously cancellee my email address and I have a complaint raised with them. Can't find a way to change it on your site? Can u help please

  • richcreedy Richard Creedy (@richcreedy) reported

    @btbusinesscare It would help to have an option to not have to have it scan

  • midday_28 widad🕺🏾🕺🏾 (@midday_28) reported

    FIX MY INTERNET!!🤬🤬 @bt_uk

  • jimbie84 James Mckenna (@jimbie84) reported

    @bt_uk Will I be without a service for a period of time ??

  • jimbie84 James Mckenna (@jimbie84) reported

    @bt_uk I am a BT sports customer via my sky package, is there a way I can tie in broadband and my by sports ??

  • PaulCRobinson Paul C Robinson (@PaulCRobinson) reported

    @bt_uk My sister has had to flee her home and go to a women's refuge, and your customer services are telling her she has to pay £300 to get out of a contract? Are you actually serious? Be ashamed of yourselves. Appalling service. Appalling behavior. @womensaid @ofcom

  • Gavin_F_Brewis GfB 📚 (@Gavin_F_Brewis) reported

    @bt_uk Investigate what further? I already have an engineer coming on Wednesday for my issue. I was just making public my issue and my findings for others to know how poorly the service and the treatment of staff is. Though, as an employee I'm sure you're no doubt aware. Join a union ✊

  • Chris_DMLab Chris Tipping (@Chris_DMLab) reported

    @TheDMLab @btbusinesscare What an absolute shambles, our order was placed 8th March, two failed engineer visits (or lack of not down to us), being billed for kit we can't use. 6 weeks no service, several chats, wasted time... the list goes on, all transcripts saved! #Shocking @Ofcom

  • AmiciConsult Gerardine Killeen (@AmiciConsult) reported

    Honestly @bt_uk, your catalogue of mistakes now means I may have a blot on my credit rating since you arbitrarily blocked my now terminated account. And of course, no obvious route to a person who can fix this. A new low!

  • Terrrrry87 Terry Patten (@Terrrrry87) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. Can someone please call my mum (the account holder) ASAP re complaint ref VOL013-577034719017. She removed broadband, got sent a cheque as a refund after the initial error when it wasn't removed and now has it added to her bill again and is receiving collections calls.

  • MelonPrinceToni Aaron Aubeck (@MelonPrinceToni) reported

    @bt_uk still not received a reply even after dming yourselves like requested. New customers and can't even get started with your service!

  • radfords12345 lesley radford (@radfords12345) reported

    @bt_uk hey . So you think it perfectly acceptable to do half a job and leave a household without Internet /phone connection until May 22nd even though they are paying for it from today ? NO . Me neither . Shocking customer service .

  • KevinMuldoon Kevin Muldoon (@KevinMuldoon) reported

    @bt_uk I've did all that. Your advisor did nothing. You've broke every one of your own complaint rules and wasted a ton of my time.

  • frant101 Francis Thorne (@frant101) reported

    @k0nG @bt_uk its clear as this point the the issue is more widespread than my setup. Multi people posting in forums about printer and sonos issues since the firmware update. What I'm after is an acknowledgement of an issue from BT rather than a shrug of the shoulder and blaming someone else

  • jordan98655429 jordan (@jordan98655429) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve tried both and it’s just the same issue

  • no1pedant Mr Pedant (@no1pedant) reported

    @bt_uk Dee - it was an order. I have arranged suspension of my previous provider, so I am beginning to worry you will leave me without any service at all. No communication!!

  • MerryGoGirl MerryGoGirl (@MerryGoGirl) reported

    @bt_uk @WolfSkullJack Surprise surprise, you failed this customer yet again. They really are all a big joke to you huh?

  • KevinMuldoon Kevin Muldoon (@KevinMuldoon) reported

    @bt_uk So BT closed an open complaint without resolving anything and didn't process a refund. This will be going to the ombudsman.

  • jordan98655429 jordan (@jordan98655429) reported

    @bt_uk help?

  • AmiciConsult Gerardine Killeen (@AmiciConsult) reported

    @bt_uk When you admit it's your end, it's galling to have to involve a third party and spend time and effort to recover damage. All too bad.

  • Gavin_F_Brewis GfB 📚 (@Gavin_F_Brewis) reported

    @bt_uk So, will you openly oppose this policy that is being enforced by what I assume must be an outsource company? Or, is this BT policy? Answer me this then you may have the details as I don't wish to get the agent in trouble.

  • ItsAlfieGreen Alfie Green (@ItsAlfieGreen) reported

    @bt_uk Hey! Tried to speak to one of your team on chat today but they were useless, there's global known issues with your Smart Hub 2 recent firmware update (version V0.26.03.01286) which stops @Sonos working. Are you going to fix this soon?

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported

    Hello, @bt_uk I have a problem with the phone line where it says I am in credit for a bill on my account, I have had no bills in the post about this? Please can you look into this for me ASAP?

  • Welshman1985 Michael (@Welshman1985) reported

    @TalkTalk @bt_uk Fix my ******* internet and landline!!! 6 days since we switched and no internet or phone line!....******* joke!!!
