Jacki (@SportyOsteo) reported@bt_uk can you please update me as to when the phone lines will be back up and running in SS177BW No 149 has my elderly relative without a phone line and no communication for over 12 days. She has a help line that obviously works off your system. Many thanks. Jacki

Ramnish Kalsi (@ramnishkalsi) reported@bt_uk Sorry, but this is becoming a part time job. I took out EE contract to watch some Tele not to spend my days troubleshooting poor quality hardware. I have 2 other set top boxes of better quality without contract and this is the only one with contract but of poor quality.
-
Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported@bt_uk still no reply to our complaint raised last week on the non arrival of your engineer to install full fibre for the 3rd time. Instead you closed the complaint sayng matter resolved !! Lies ! I am not waiting 30 mins in the phone either to get through to an advisor!

Karen ♿🌞💐 🇬🇧 🇺🇦🇮🇱 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇪🇺 (@MrsXXV25) reported@bt_uk, has there been a broadband outage in Lanarkshire? I’ve restarted our BT Hub but it has made no difference.
-
Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported@bt_uk The first 3 I cannot do because I cannot log into my account online, you don't take international checks, I don't live in the UK so pay machine doesn't work. And your customer service team want to authenticate the account with me, using a uk mobile.

RaeRubyRae (@RaeRubyRaeK) reported@MartinSLewis Shame they don’t kick @bt_uk in the nuts just as hard, they’re vile & have been getting away with crap for far too long!
-
erika x (@_erikacx) reported@bt_uk broadband has been down for last 20 mins, the online test isn’t working. Please advise
-
John Adams (@JohnAdamsEbble) reportedWhat a totally negative experience calling @bt_uk has been. I’ve been trying to cancel an order for a month without success. 12 calls, endlessly on hold listening to appalling music. NO ONE seems able or willing to revert the order. Complaint ref number C10003089417 @Ofcom

nicolas mcmillan (@herbie963) reported@bt_uk People only resort to X when traditional methods of communication show themselves to be totally inadequate. All routes appear to lead to international call centers who do not understand the issues at hand.
-
Angela Cummins (@Angela_Cummins) reportedMy elderly infirm neighbour has had a fault on his line for 2 MONTHS! It gets fixed and then breaks again within a few days. I now can't speak to anyone about this - its just my line that gets checked! This was an urgent welfare check on Mon & it's broken again! Help pls @bt_uk
-
Amit (@Amit72191182463) reported@btbusinesscare I have a BT business connection for the last 2years where my contract was ending on 6th August, 2026. I called to terminate the contract but I have been asked to pay until 16th August. Also, you charged a £18 disconnection fee. Why do I need to pay after contract?
-
Paul Williams (@DonPauleone1987) reported@bt_uk hi. Hope you’re well. Tried DMing you about an issue with my account but I keep getting an auto response to log in to the app. Part of the issue I’m having is not being able to do that. I’m not calling 150 either. Please can someone reach out. Thanks. Paul.
-
Kevin Chubb (@swanseagas) reportedIt only took @bt_uk 14 days to fix the broadband we pay them to provide. And it lasted a good 9 hours before it stopped working again. We should be grateful really. Incompetence on an industrial scale. Bravo. What a shambles.
-
Daniel Factor (@DanielFactor79) reported@bt_uk They'd probably get faster internet buried under rubble than the **** slow crap we get from you retarded **** eating ******* *****!
-
On-On-On (@clark1919acaw) reported@bt_uk Hi - sorry, I mean the internet connection has been down all day, so we have been cash only in our store all day .. hopefully it back in tomorrow
-
M.C. (@MCarvill180) reported@bt_uk absolutely ridiculous service. My extender wouldn't connect, customer service replaced it with another identical extender, wouldn't connect, customer service then said they were completely wrong extenders and they would send proper extender, guess what ..
-
Wendy Holden (@wendholden) reportedThree days without phones or the internet after a tree fell and not one word to anyone in our Suffolk village from @bt_uk. The tree was removed today but no one came to fix the line so another day in the dark. Shame on you.
-
Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported@bt_uk We are not wasting 25 -30 minutes on the phone to speak to an advisor, you have our number on the complaint, but you dont bother calling us, we are talking to a new supplier if you dont want our business after 40 years with you then fine !!
-
Kevin Chubb (@swanseagas) reported@bt_uk It’s working again this morning. Hooray. But your “cancel my appointment” element of MyBT is not. Swings and roundabouts.
-
erika x (@_erikacx) reported@weblivz @bt_uk Got the exact same problem now
-
PTID1977 (@PhilH1977) reported@bt_uk Well it don’t. It’s obviously an app issue and yes my device is all up to date.
-
Robin Shaw (@RSh234) reported@bt_uk @charl32647 That’s part of the problem. In my recent experience they didn’t help on most occasions, only when I chanced upon one good one. They just consumed huge time and frustrated.
-
Ian Robson (@GFX2001) reported@Ofcom @bt_uk I do not understand why it is so difficult to report Nuisance Calls / Hang-ups. You have to complete a very lengthy form for a Call. And each Call you have to re-enter all the details again. And then to get to the "I Am Not Robot" pictures that don't work.
-
Claire Rendall (@clairerendall1) reported@bt_uk I spent 54 minutes on hold trying to get through to you today on behalf of my elderly parents. Unacceptable #fail
-
Mat Oliver (@CrackedRearView) reported@VodafoneUK Nice to see my full fibre connection has wet itself. Not a hardware issue my end, and I never got a single drop with @bt_uk any works going on local to Elmswell Suffolk? This package isn’t cheap!
-
tha Movement Noize Production (@JumaMhlanga) reported@bt_uk I suggest you call me because your customer service is vile, you all nice on the internet and disrespectful on the phone. Just had an outburst with one of your customers service Lavanya on business department. Train your staff

Meinir H Thomas 🦅🖤 (@MeinirT) reported@bt_uk Issues again today with accessing #bt email!! When will this be sorted please?
-
Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported@bt_uk We have made a complaint, you closed the complaint with matter resolved !! Without telling us how its been resolved ? So we reopened it, and still awaiting an explanation as to how you think it has been resolved ?
-
Vicky Fraser (@bt_vicky) reported@bt_uk Loyal customer of many years here! Please can you tell me how to get technical email support?! Chatbot offering unhelpful advice and signposting to manuals and no reply on the telephone numbers provided. Ty
