    Single mother, premature baby, lockdown, 2 months NO INTERNET! Shameful customer service @bt_uk

  • GeorgeWilkins29 George Wilkins 🎅🎄 (@GeorgeWilkins29) reported

    Dear @bt_uk Please stop advertising that you have fast and reliable internet when, from my testing, you are clearly having capacity issues due to the increase of people using the internet during lock down. Diverting my internet to far away servers, making it rather slow.
