    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    @bt_uk no broadband. Phone just direct to visual service which doesn’t work. Broadband test fails. NEED TO WORK

  • ems7
    ems7 (@ems7) reported

    @bt_uk how can I contact your complaints department? I have had two missed calls from them. The number on your complaints page won’t put me through. Live chat can’t help. I’ve already escalated the complaint.

  • LeeWilliams154
    Lee Williams (@LeeWilliams154) reported

    @bt_uk I cannot find the option for online chat, I am disabled and need a reliable land land service, I use Starlink as my Internet provider.

  • Red_Rescue
    Sebastian Colt (@Red_Rescue) reported

    @bt_uk Speaking to support on the phone anecdotally this seems to be a significant problem. I think the scale of it can be tracked by how many calls last less that a few seconds (due to dead air) or how many pin numbers are requested but not used. (as they are not supplied in time)

  • jaye_lass
    🐕📚 (@jaye_lass) reported

    @bt_uk Is there an email address as it is an ongoing issue? I dont want to gave to start at the beginning with online chat each time. I need support for calls and last time I was told to just try using less devices. Your engineer confirmed the issue is external.

  • Jsm0445

    @bt_uk i had my bt email account hacked after putting my login details into a spurious email. I regained access to my email by changing the password but I don’t seem to receive emails and emails that say they have been sent don’t get received. How can I rectify this?

  • QuoSpera
    Lesley Rubenstein-Pessok (@QuoSpera) reported

    @Somerset01 @BTGroup @bt_uk These structures should have something on them to determine ownership and wouldn’t it be great if there was some form of contact info to report vandalism or any damage easily, say, a QR code.

  • Fliposteo
    Philip Godfrey (@Fliposteo) reported

    @bt_uk I haven’t been able to access my account or log in on the BT app for days/weeks despite following instructions to change user name etc. the system sucks. Can’t through on the phone How do I get my bills if I can’t log in?! For a communication company this is a (bad) joke.

  • TSLG13007
    TSLG13007 (@TSLG13007) reported

    @bt_uk We have been with BT for decades and never known the customer service this bad. It is too complex to explain on here but after many years, we will be moving supplier

  • Awaken1984
    PS1984 (@Awaken1984) reported

    @bt_uk Your new login system for My BT is broken - "We are having trouble performing verification. Please try again." Thanks for making life so much easier with over complicated security. Not.

    @bt_uk my internet connection for my business account has gone down and the system checker keeps crashing. Tried calling but then keep getting directed to go online 🙄

    **** BT. Bunch of *****. ****** me around since minute one. Still ******* me around now. No ******* customer support. Bunch of *****. @bt_uk what’s your ******* resolution? Taking my money and not providing me the WiFi. Come on ********* I’m waiting for your reply. @bt_uk

    @bt_uk Why are you holding me to a contract you can’t even provide the service for ?!

  • TEOL85

    @bt_uk Everyone's new BT fibre phoneline is going out to random less than a minute orange light outages at the moment and the internet going down with it. Here in Feltham mine has oranged lighted random times for 1 week since last Friday and did it into this Friday and on to this Sunday

  • TEOL85
    The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @bt_uk . Do your job and fix it if it was a dodgy untested update send the routers a new one tonight 0:00-6:00 to sort out the issue or if it's your exchanges end fix it there or if you can fix it remotely just do it but fix it what if our phone lines go out on an important phone call

  • clivemacd

    @bt_uk Hi, I am trying to access my bill but have been receiving the message "Sorry, we can’t get your account details at the moment, We’re trying to fix the problem at the moment. Please come back later" for the past 24 hours. Can you please assist.

  • TSLG13007

    @bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service as usual

    Hi @bt_uk I’m quite worried as there seems to be an outage in Nottingham. Could you check this please?

  • hongkongfu3y
    fuey (@hongkongfu3y) reported

    @bt_uk Ah ok thanks. I did try that and got pushed to an online help which wasn’t appropriate for my query. Will try again

  • Caldale58
    CM (@Caldale58) reported

    @bt_uk is there ever a day when your products actually work for a whole day. If it's not the unstable app continually throwing you out, it's accessing MyBT. Why does anyone stay with you. Totally exasperated again.

  • ItsHWC
    Brain Freeeze (@ItsHWC) reported

    @bt_uk is officially the worst internet in the UK We’re paying £80 per month for a laggy internet connection where you can’t even watch a simple stream. I will be calling up to cancel tomorrow morning It’s ridiculous!

  • BenBonj
    Ben Thompson (@BenBonj) reported

    Isn’t it funny I had no internet issues until @bt_uk offer me to upgrade my package since then it’s been dogshite. Dropping out constantly & buffering when I didn’t take em up on it. Almost as if they’ve slowed it down deliberately to make me upgrade to get more money out of me.

  • HounslowParking
    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk Please can you tell me why your service is so useless? You've forced us to switch over from copper to fibre, but then you haven't made the actual switch and just thought its easier to charge us for both services. Your staff are utterly clueless and inept. #btareuseless

  • TrainDriver1982
    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    @bt_uk Can’t believe this. Obvious misdiagnosed as both neighbours and ours routers going down. Now I’ve had an email to say my router is being delivered…. to next door.

  • CazMorgan5
    Caz Morgan (@CazMorgan5) reported

    @bt_uk you still haven’t fixed what you did. Admitted to accidentally switching off our broadband and my elderly boss and his son were up till 4am at @OrionCinema trying to find an alternative way to keep our business running. We’re barely keeping our heads above water. HELP!!!

  • melindiscott
    Melindi Scott (@melindiscott) reported

    @bassetnormand @clarescastle @btbusinesscare It's a shame because they had a lot of inbuilt loyalty just because so many of us started off with BT and have never seen cause to change. 30 years is a long run but they did absolutely nothing to try and keep our business

  • Tedtalks13
    Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported

    @bt_uk "all" doesnt cover ee. And doesnt cover your service level agreements

  • vickiadhmsutton
    Victoria Sutton (@vickiadhmsutton) reported

    Shame on you @bt_uk. When people lose someone they love, they need support not to be told their next of kin need to sign up to a 2yr contract to reduce the monthly bills. Utterly disgraceful. Cannot wait to cancel your services and NEVER use you again. You should be ashamed.

  • simonjbowler
    Simon Bowler (@simonjbowler) reported

    @bt_uk Perhaps you could read the message I sent ans acknowledge that your chat service and account access aren't working for one of your customers. To be honest, that would resonate better than inviting me to spend an hour on the phone for a 5 minute issue.
