    Never surprised to find @bt_uk broadband gets slower and slower as the evening progresses. Utter rubbish service and the usual rubbish “tips to improve service”

  • DDerwoo Steve Thrupenny (@DDerwoo) reported

  • ComputerTutor4Y Helen Sparks (@ComputerTutor4Y) reported

    @bt_uk can you help. I have just left my customer after setting up her new hub. We cannot log into her emails until she’s activated the account by an email sent to that account. Impossible! BTID neither.

  • rowli87 Claire Rowlinson 🇪🇺💙 (@rowli87) reported

    Does anyone know what to do when a utility company is causing so much distress to an individual and their mistakes are causing independence to break down. I am at my wits end with @bt_uk it’s verging on abuse. I just can’t cope with it.

  • AlShax74 Al Shax (@AlShax74) reported

    @bt_uk Sort out your appalling and pathetic customer service first. Leave Social Justice to others.

  • RojasLahoz Charli R (@RojasLahoz) reported from Brentford, England
