  • PhilEMeade Phil-iz Navidad™ ❄️ (@PhilEMeade) reported

    Do internet products (PlayStations, etc.) use broadband data if they’re plugged in, but the device is not switched on? 🤔 We’re having connectivity issues and told to basically plug out everything that’s not in use? @bt_uk

  • hazedesun Hazedesunna (@hazedesun) reported

    @bt_uk Task 1 doesn't work well on phone at all - once you put down the first piece of the toy, you are not able to drag anything else and have to quit

  • itsmeitsmeandy AM (@itsmeitsmeandy) reported

  • ElSkidders Elaine Skidmore (@ElSkidders) reported

    @bt_uk broadband down here. Is there an issue in Cambridge?

  • Mattyumbaba Matt Allen (@Mattyumbaba) reported

    @bt_uk out of interest, how long after a complaint is made do you typically except it to be resolved? Or at least acknowledged? Been waiting around 6 weeks and called every week to be told it had been assigned to someone and I’ll hear that week!! It’s getting silly now!!!

  • LindsA82 Linds (@LindsA82) reported

    @bt_uk Disgusting service from BT. My Grandad passed away Fri so my Dad contacted BT to cancel his landline. BT cancelled my parents landline,mobiles & internet instead. 3 days later,lots of calls to BT, being cut off & explaining the whole thing each time & still NOT resolved!

  • Nicknick1109 Nicky Jenkins (@Nicknick1109) reported

    @bt_uk All the information they were given was from your ‘report a fault’ department for BT TV issues.

  • matt_burrow Matthew Burrow (@matt_burrow) reported from Frodsham, England

    @BTCare hi. Upgraded my service with you and took Halo out but since replacing the old smart hub and getting new one with disk extender the signal has been worse and broadband slower. What has gone wrong and can we revert back to old system as it was less prone to signal failure

  • sarahjrandall Sarah Randall (@sarahjrandall) reported

    @bt_uk Every morning at 9am my landline phone rings & I get a message through the BT text message service. It is from Amazon with deal of the day Amazon say they don’t have a landline number on my account so can’t stop it.

  • NickyMiddlemiss Nicky Middlemiss (@NickyMiddlemiss) reported

    @bt_uk are you phone lines down in my area, we use sky broadband but run off of your lines and our phone is down? We have had not Internet for 18 or so hours??

  • jill_peaurt Jill Peaurt (@jill_peaurt) reported

    @bt_uk do you have a problem in the ME10 area? Our internet went down yesterday for an hour or so and has gone off again this morning. Don’t think it’s just us as we had an engineer out a few weeks ago and were sent a new hub.

  • Robbiedocs Rob Docwra (@Robbiedocs) reported

    @bt_uk well after months of phone calls engineers phantom visits, failed shows for internal engineers and a complaint being closed without even looking in to it I have finally lost patience, I upgraded to Halo in august and it’s been the worst experience with broadband I -

  • amandacatling Amanda Catling (@amandacatling) reported

    Well thanks @bt_uk A fault on our internet means no internet til Tuesday. As if Xmas wasn't tough enough this year that means no Zoom calls with our families over Xmas weekend. Thanks for nothing #btbroadband.....2nd Christmas in a row with an issue! 😠

  • jackypat Jacqueline (@jackypat) reported

    @bt_uk A reply from a Local openreach engineer. Looks like a dslam card has gone down and will affect most people on fttc broadband from all providers. I'll get on the case at 0800 and see whats going on

  • neilhwilliams Bantam Menace 🇪🇺🇬🇧3.5% (@neilhwilliams) reported

    @bt_uk Define reliable. Every ******* piece of kit drops off this pile of ****, constantly. Laptops, phones, tv sticks, smart speakers. Everything.

  • Di_Appleyard Di Appleyard🏳️‍🌈🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@Di_Appleyard) reported

    @bt_uk It’s ok I spoke to bt bot 🤖 online back on now problems at Scarborough with tech

  • james7baker James Baker (@james7baker) reported from Derbyshire, England

    If it wasn’t bad enough that @bt_uk cancelled our broadband connection when it should have transferred to them in 15 Dec. Besides telling me there is no way to connect us for Christmas, I now receive an email this morning asking to return the BT equipment. You couldn’t make it up

  • janeredding jane redding (@janeredding) reported

    @bt_uk lower Halstow Kent. No Internet for whole village since last night. Help.

  • timfernando Tim Fernando (@timfernando) reported

    @bt_uk I’m on the phone to you now. You’ve cocked up the dates despite having a system that clearly states dates in January for our move. First customer service person offered no apology, tried to blame Openreach then tried to blame us. Awful!

  • Glayzer23 Ian Glayzer (@Glayzer23) reported

    @bt_uk Aboslutely appalled by the disgraceful levels of service we’ve received from yourself. Broadband should have been activated on 8th Dec, after several mistakes with orders and being promised activation yesterday were now being told it will be 29th Dec. Unacceptable

  • jackypat Jacqueline (@jackypat) reported

    Half village broadband is down and yet @BT_uk insist on individual house checks. Won’t refer it as a network issue

  • ShbCounsellor Community.Counsellor (@ShbCounsellor) reported

    @bt_uk I have used this link, still you haven’t messaged me to sort this issue out ???

  • XSilentRosesX フィービー ♡ (@XSilentRosesX) reported

    Looks like its gonna be christmas without wifi thanks to @bt_uk because our service has been on for 30 seconds and restarting for 5 minutes in a loop for the last 14 hours :)

  • jamesbanks James Banks (@jamesbanks) reported

    Loss of service on the broadband open reach modem. Just in time for Christmas. @bt_uk

  • Emmz08 Emma ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@Emmz08) reported

    @bt_uk I haven’t had internet for three days, what time are your support lines open til today?

  • rebeccadiana_1 Rebecca Taylor (@rebeccadiana_1) reported

    @bt_uk seems half our village across all internet providers have no internet, yet you’re saying there are no issues your end. With so many people relying on access over the next few days, very poor response from BT

  • FourfriendsT Four Friends Tibetan Restaurant (@FourfriendsT) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, BT Halo for business - Superfast Enhanced & Digital Phone Line. My area is being moved to Tier 3 from Boxing Day, the phone line is a lifeline for the business. Please help.

  • FuzzyBake Stewart (@FuzzyBake) reported

    @bt_uk So got BT Fibre, phone hasn’t worked yet - £40 credit on the account (still not working) last night Broadband crashes (external line) and BT can’t fix it for a week. Sorry kids you can’t use your PlayStation or PC over Christmas by the way you can’t stream movies either

  • rjallen69 Richard James Allen (@rjallen69) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. The issues with the broadband were resolved yesterday. I also had someone appear at my door to collect the old tv box, even then I still don’t have the new one yet

  • Jvliaxo juliajda⚡️ (@Jvliaxo) reported
