  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    Day 29. Still without service. Meaningful update finally obtained from @bt_uk and @OpenreachHelp Not a resolution but a promise of update tomorrow day 30 Many visible engineers in the area but not holding my breath

  • thomkelly_ Thom Kelly (@thomkelly_) reported

    @bt_uk What use is the complaint handler following on from a repair I’m complaining now

  • cortexrock Mark Roberts (@cortexrock) reported

    @bt_uk I have done, yes - thank you, Catherine. But not with BT or Plusnet, because the offboarding process from John Lewis BB has been handled so poorly and been such a pain in the backside, it would suggest that I would have similar issues in future should anything else go wrong.

  • McgeoughDermot Dermot McGeough (@McgeoughDermot) reported

    @bt_uk Shocking service. Terrible broadband. Unable to provide what you’re charging for

  • knqst knqst (@knqst) reported

  • Timmsantiques S & S Timms Antiques (@Timmsantiques) reported from Toddington, England

    @btbusinesscare Whys you smarthub 2 wifi performance so horrific today? Is there a known issue at the moment, or have you pushed new firmware overnight or something which has broken it? Nothing in my setup has changed, but every one of my wifi devices is constantly disconnecting/reconnecting???

  • BikeSgt RP Bike Sgt (@BikeSgt) reported from Bicester, England

    Generally quick to moan at poor customer service so for a change a positive post about @bt_uk. Called earlier to look at changing tariffs due to increased prices. Lloyd was helpful, cheerful and upgraded me, saving me money as well. #GoodSkliis.

  • Jake_Bowd Jake Bowd (@Jake_Bowd) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Would you provide a better client experience and install broadband as a matter of urgency? If so, happy to cancel @bt_uk contract (as not benefited from any services as of yet)

  • Bossqueenie89 ☆ Twistedrave 🦄 KISSMYGOOOAT ☆ (@Bossqueenie89) reported

    @bt_uk I'm hoping to get rid of bt. We haven't been able to use WiFi since we got it. Yes it's on low budget for uc scheme, but, its been worse than a joke. Also brought it up with colleagues multiple times.. no help!! 👎

  • knqst knqst (@knqst) reported

    Avoid @bt_uk at all costs, been waiting 3 months for a basic renewal of my broadband contract, to be sent a random smarthub now they are charging me £50 for and disconnecting my internet randomly tonight blaming openreach and can’t help me until tomorrow. Useless

  • barbarafraser67 Barbara Fraser (@barbarafraser67) reported

    @Veibae @bt_uk Throw out their equipment and buy your own. ISP garbage keepin a queen down 😭

  • Jake_Bowd Jake Bowd (@Jake_Bowd) reported

    @bt_uk We're now moving to Sky, they can provide a quick(er) installation and just (slightly) beaten your price. It's the poor communication and (lack) of installation that has resulted in this swap

  • barbarafraser67 Barbara Fraser (@barbarafraser67) reported

    @bt_uk What rubbish my phone has been out of service for weeks and you guys are doing nothing to get it sorted. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

  • PeterBarnesy Peter Barnes (@PeterBarnesy) reported

    @BTCare Today is the second day I’ve taken off work in the past week for an engineer to come and fix my broadband. And, it’s the second time the engineer hasn’t shown up. Still no broadband. What on earth is going on?

  • CursedFoxAmmy Ammy (@CursedFoxAmmy) reported

    @Veibae @bt_uk Oh geez Even on a phone at my worst connection hours I have at least 0.5mbps
