-
Darren Smith (@Smicer999) reported@bt_uk I must have had 10 complaints raised and closed according to your SMS messages. I want an email address where I can document in detail the atrocious customer service I’ve experienced. Are you saying you provide no electronic communication mailbox at all for complaint procedures?
-

-
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?
-
Kevin Gallagher (@Kevin9Gallagher) reported@bt_uk terrible service, internet down for 2 days, they said an engineer would come out, engineer rang me tells me he will be out Weds 9am never showed up. Awaiting a new router now. At least keep me updated BT. Thinks it's a new provider time.
-
Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported@bt_uk Thanks for getting back to me. The complaint to your office in Sheffield over 6 weeks ago was closed and not dealt with. I'm so frustrated and disatisfied I'm pulling together evidence to complain to @Ofcom
-
Ed Walsh (@Farmerwalsh) reportedContact up for renewal in September. It will not be @bt_uk Poor workmanship and poor service
-
PT (@philltea) reportedDad's just retired from @bt_uk due to ill health 38 years service. Not a single thank you, good luck or all the best Nothing at all Zero communication regarding help or advice getting his pension sorted and organised Just a random DPD driver turned up for his laptop Shambles
-
Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported@MeinirT @bt_uk BT are a disgrace recently. They should issue refunds to customers for the time spent without email service.
-
Simon Smith (@Simoncitizen) reported@Alonso_GD Along with everything else. I have had to write to @bt_uk hard copy / snail mail because they cannot resolve issues with my #Landline digitally. However that was posted last #Wednesday 20.05.2026. Given the thousands and thousands of pounds they have extracted throughout my life?
-
Dave R (@daveRessex) reported@bt_uk I see other people are having problems logging into BT email. The status is "We’ll be right back. Sorry, but we’re doing some maintenance on the site at the moment. It should be back...in a short while." How can you be doing "maintenance" in the middle of a working day?
-
Emma Neal (@EmmaJaneNeal) reported@bt_uk for 6 days my 86 yr old mum has no landline/internet My brother has tried to resolve this with a BT engineer visit spending hrs on the phone. My mum relies on connection as she uses an emergency medical necklace. This needs to be escalated without delay. Appalling service.
-
GM (@Giseldi1) reported@bt_uk how you guys accumulate the most retarded customer service agents in the world is genuinely impressive
-
Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported@bt_uk As yet again the email service is faulty and not available for some time isn't it about time a rebate was given to your customers for not being provided with the service they pay for?
-
Richard Latto (@RichardLatto) reported@DomusCaligari @bt_uk Still broken - come on BT!
-
uılʞuɐɹℲ (@puddles46) reported@bt_uk I'm not phoning again. I've had two complaints open both closed with no contact. Genuinely what is the point of calling. You will log a complaint again and then ignore me again. Genuinely the worst company I've ever dealt with
-
jack250213 (@e4290936) reported@bt_uk BT took it upon itself to close the official complaint. (My comment)
-
Graham & June Hall (@GrahamH36921247) reported@John210750 @bt_uk We are seriously considering switching, and nuts to the contract. This is awful!
-
John (@palacejohn) reported@bt_uk Tried for hours to access my account with repeated messages saying you were “encountering problems” .Finally it’s been resolved.
-
Sian (@SianElin_PT73) reported@bt_uk Did you read my message correctly? I do not have signal to call!
-
jack250213 (@e4290936) reported@bt_uk After some investigation I posit this as a reason for constant delays in my broadband applications. 'If your automated systems are secretly scanning my IP address without my consent and blocking my service because I use a secure dedicated IP, that is a fault in YOUR system, not mine. I provided my real, verifiable details. Ask me—don't secretly track me'
-
John Davis (@chartjohn30) reported@bt_uk As a Broadband customer of 16 yrs I have been very pleased to access inclusive hotspots when other services are not available. Yesterday I tried to use one. Put in user and passw, fine, but... (1/4)
-
Berni (@BikerBerni) reported@HooverMouse @bt_uk I spent nearly 2 hours on the 'phone being passed,after a long wait, to one person after another, only to be told there was no problem! Been going on for days.
-
Russell (@Russell0123456) reported@bt_uk Your revised website is terrible, trying to pay my bill and it doesn't load, initially locked me out, awful navigation. As a result you won't get paid for at least a week as I am out of the UK. Learn from @ScottishPower on how to handle billing.
