    @bt_uk BT took it upon itself to close the official complaint. (My comment)

    @bt_uk I will never call BT again, it’s not worth the stress it causes. Very uneducated customer services. Have consistently been told incorrect information and no communication back. The apparent ‘complaints’ investigator I spoke to yesterday hadn’t even investigated my complaint.

  • JonD_Chadwick
    Jon Chadwick (@JonD_Chadwick) reported

    @bt_uk Still can't get this problem fixed. Spent an hour on the phone yesterday, was promised a call back today at 3pm. No-one rang. Back on hold again. What do I do?

  • LegendaryH80858
    Legendary Hamster (@LegendaryH80858) reported

    @ArmchairAdml @bt_uk would you like to comment on why you're treating a long standing, loyal customer as badly as this? I feel a review of his account is in order so he can be put on a new lower rate and some compensation is in order as you're ripping him off! @MartinSLewis FYI...

  • eastwap
    Amanda Eastwood (@eastwap) reported

    @bt_uk As previously stated, I will never call BT again. Absolutely appalling services provided whenever I have called them.

    @GrahamH36921247 @John210750 @bt_uk I was switched to EE from BT(no choice given) &they've been fine.However,new prices look awful and as at end of contract considering a switch. A locally based firm is doing fullfibre for very good price but problem is think it would involve digging up garden. Nightmare isn't it?

    @bt_uk Is there a widespread issue with BT email access today? Unable to login and I need to access my emails.

    @bt_uk 10am this morning Internet down apparently a fault on my line earliest engineer appt Monday? 4pm this afternoon the Internet is still down, according to your line checks.....No Fault on my line. Internet however still not working. Make up your mind... Fault/No Fault?

    @bt_uk any idea when normal service will resume on the mobile EE/BT network in Mundesley Norfolk? the service has been down for over two days

  • devraaaaaj
    Devraj Ray (@devraaaaaj) reported

    @bt_uk Just spoken to your team, who've said I won't be connected for another 8 days. Signing up to BT Full Fibre has been a genuinely awful experience from start to...well, who knows what to. This is unending.

    @bt__uk__r @bt_uk Thank you. We are working with the customer now to investigate the Sunday power cuts.

  • 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.

    @bt_uk is there currently an issue with broadband in MK7 8HF?

  • VicJohnson04
    Vicky Johnson (@VicJohnson04) reported

    @skytv £39.95 (installation fee!) to send out a new sky box when I’m already a very loyal customer. Daylight bloody robbery @bt_uk I think you’ve e got yourself a new customer

  • stepho2k1
    Ste (@stepho2k1) reported

    @bt_uk why is your sales team pushing an elderly person with parkinsons to sign up for a new service. I will be calling tonight to sort this. Not happy

  • JonD_Chadwick
    Jon Chadwick (@JonD_Chadwick) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, tried that, doesn't work. That's why I am contacting you? Has BT reached the stage where it simply isn't able to fix basic faults?

  • liamsimo95
    liam (@liamsimo95) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity

  • booker213
    read steel ball run (@booker213) reported

    @bt_uk That number was unhelpful and still required a login, so wouldn't let me proceed. I just need to find out if there is an already reported error in my area or if it needs to be reported. That should be public information.

  • AnniePShoreham
    Ann Palmer (@AnniePShoreham) reported

    @bt_uk No I won’t do that. I have spent far too many hours of my life at various times over the last year trying to get this sorted. Please pass this to the complaints team - the agent I spoke to on 5/3 promised to sort it. Another epic fail.

    grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported

    @bt_uk I can't create a bt account to tell you how utterly gutted I am with your service. I've not been able yo watch TV as a brand new customer for several days and I only started last Friday. Consumer act 2018

    @bt_uk I have norton up and running no problem but to load to phone its asking for the key

    @EEBroadbandUK @Ofcom @bt_uk Cheers for the horrific broadband you supply to my parent’s home. Every time I come back here & try to watch a football match or the Formula 1 it fails. They keep getting engineers out but u never fix it, yet you keep charging them a fortune tune?

    @bt_uk please fix your app. I can't get out of the circular demand for verification and crazy requests to change my login email

  • redpath42
    Doreen Grove (@redpath42) reported

    I recently changed my tv and bb provider from @bt_uk to @EE the system was supposed to be a straight transition withe same quality of elements but the EE system is rubbish and it is almost impossible to speak to someone to help

  • JonD_Chadwick
    Jon Chadwick (@JonD_Chadwick) reported

    @bt_uk yes, I did that twice already today. I have spoken to 4 different people Problem is getting worse.

  • 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.

  • goatteeboy
    Ian P (@goatteeboy) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. It’s working now, would have been nice to see some communication for what seemed to be a widespread outage.
