Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DanCromb Dan (@DanCromb) reported

    I have had to deal with a lot of customer service teams over the last few weeks for various reasons. Credit where it's due: @BT_uk have been head and shoulders above everyone else. Hat-tip!

  • jordan_kerry Kerry Jordan (@jordan_kerry) reported

    @bt_uk waiting for internet installation on 26th Feb. Despite 3 lines into the house the fitter couldn’t connect. Numerous calls later, new date for tomorrow. BT have now cancelled and given date in another 2 weeks. If this is the service to a new customer, forget it. Rubbish!

  • redpanda1961 ChrisRosling-Josephs (@redpanda1961) reported

    @bt_uk just had a call from 01633 782414 trying to get me to join their international call blocking service. Another scam! @CarolineJosephs

  • jaishaw Jason Shaw (@jaishaw) reported

    @IvoGraham @btsport Holy crap this is good

  • RoryTBailey Rory Bailey (@RoryTBailey) reported

    @bt_uk Hey, we are having issues again. The service seems to be so random. Is there anything that can monitor our speed long term?

  • paulosmok Paulo Ribeiro Jr (@paulosmok) reported

    @bt_uk we are having issues with internet in Aldeburgh IP15 5AQ, Suffolk. Read something about a Outage in the Suffolk and Norfolk? Is that right?

  • Custome92683183 Customer (@Custome92683183) reported

    @MarcAllera @bt_uk I’ve got many people in my family in need of health and education services (remote) and BT services are on the floor and no one wants to fix it!!! #Embarrassing feedback to your post!

  • Custome92683183 Customer (@Custome92683183) reported

    @BTGroup I’m sure he’s been great!!! In the mean time; thousands (including my family), can’t do remote schooling, work or healthcare because BT Broadband not working! Not answering phones? Is this a failing company? @BTCare

  • grumpyteacher7 Mark Bishop (@grumpyteacher7) reported

    @Adam_Penning @btsport Again another stupid comment. I'm happy for schools to reopen with various measures in place. I'm looking forward to being back...

  • TamaraKohler4 Tamara Kohler (@TamaraKohler4) reported

    @bt_uk In case anyone is interested - the response in DMs was the same as via the phone - BT have said there is no way they can restart the service and have not offered any feasible resolution which would allow people to continue to work from home.

  • PrettyFlaming10 PrettyFlamingo (@PrettyFlaming10) reported

    @bt_uk No. No-one is able to confirm if this order has been cancelled despite the letter addressed to me offering to do exactly that. We found out earlier that your customer has also caused a credit check to be run on our address. My husband is speaking with your Security Team today.

  • CatchCarter_Now Carter (@CatchCarter_Now) reported

    @bt_uk awful service for wifi. I recommend looking else where.

  • twlor JJ (@twlor) reported

    Seriously @bt_uk I renewed my broadband deal like 3 months ago and you're putting your prices up already?? You provide a service that hasn't changed how can justify putting your prices up now?

  • EmLowth Em (@EmLowth) reported

    2 hours on the phone to @bt_uk after initially requesting to port our existing landline number to them when we moved house. Advised the best route to do it and now being told we can’t have the number and we need to cancel everything and start again... absolutely ridiculous!!

  • JDzerofive JDzerofive (@JDzerofive) reported

    @bt_uk nice one, pandemic and you’ve increased Broadband prices! That’s just awful.

  • Becksb04 Becky (@Becksb04) reported

    @bt_uk He's still waiting for the engineer to come out to fix the issue. But his expected date is Thursday. So we wait and see.

  • Custome92683183 Customer (@Custome92683183) reported

    @bt_uk Complete #BS I’ve spent days in a queue waiting for someone at BT to answer the phone!!! It doesn’t get any worse!!!!! It’s like BT have outsourced customer service to @RyanAir #Nightmare

  • TamaraKohler4 Tamara Kohler (@TamaraKohler4) reported

    @bt_uk He has no internet access so can't get in touch himself! I was hoping twitter might be a way to get this sorted since the customer service on the phones has not been helpful. I guess they're going to have to go without internet and try to get compensation for lost hours of work.

  • Custome92683183 Customer (@Custome92683183) reported

    @bt_uk Hmmmm, I imagine it’s amazing!!! A shame my BT broadband doesn’t work and no one at BT answers a phone call!! Do you have a phone number for Virgin? We’re all sick of waiting hours in a dumb *** queue, paying a premium for a #DUD service

  • bonnyfechter Miss Grace (@bonnyfechter) reported

    @bt_uk is G31 still down?

  • billyjackneww billy (@billyjackneww) reported

    @bt_uk can i just say that i have had bt wifi for about 2 years now and my family changed from another broadband to you. ever since the wifi has been shocking! disconnecting all day. we haven’t had time to really notice how bad it has been as we all live out the house busy lives ! dm me

  • gaz_lister Gary Lister (@gaz_lister) reported from Moulton, England

    @bt_uk I've only been a customer for 3 months and you're now putting my prices up CPI + 3.9%. My neighbour is only getting an increase of 0.6%...? Whats going on??

  • shutterbug2021 shutterbug2021 (@shutterbug2021) reported

    @bt_uk putting your prices up halfway through a contract is not good practice at all, if you think i am going to consider staying with you after the contract expires think again. I will shop around. It seems that companys no longer value customer loyalty :(

  • Th3RealTailer Th3RealTailer (@Th3RealTailer) reported

    @bt_uk Every 5 minutes my network is going down and then pops back up 60 seconds later. Constantly causing problems with work calls. This service is horrific

  • Custome92683183 Customer (@Custome92683183) reported

    @H6LTY @bt_uk Everyone has problems with BT! They just don’t care!!!

  • philkendall_SA Phil Kendall (@philkendall_SA) reported

    Just got the RPI+3.9% price increase email from @bt_uk, these mid-contract price increases always leave a bad taste in the mouth. Would it be that hard to price them into a 24 month contract up front?

  • _Justin_Leigh_ Justin Leigh (@_Justin_Leigh_) reported

    @btbusinesscare So today was the day (for the third time) that the issue with my broadband was due to be resolved. No surprise that the BT engineer did not show up, yet again.

  • sammacart Samantha MacArthur (@sammacart) reported

    @TamaraKohler4 @bt_uk That's really poor

  • Th3RealTailer Th3RealTailer (@Th3RealTailer) reported

    @bt_uk sick of your absolutely tragic internet cutting out constantly and then the ‘helpline’ saying there are no issues in the area. Worst service I have ever received!

  • hurstyruth R Hurst (@hurstyruth) reported

    @bt_uk every time you take double money out of their bank account you are adding to their problems. Every time you say you will phone back they sit waiting. Every time their grandchildren phone they say “Bt are phoning, ring later”Every time-every time. For a year @bt_uk reply!
