Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported@bt_uk @simboman The BT Guides are telling me that this problem, logging into account, is a known issue and @BT_UK are working to resolve it. I note Allison Kirkby is going to retrieve the battered BT brand. Good luck Allison.

-
Apex Signs (@apex_signs1) reported@btbusinesscare I’ve just tried WhatsApp and the same issue. No response. Is there a phone number to actually speak to a human ??? 🤬🤷🏻. I’m being threatened with legal action over an account I closed months ago and I cannot speak to someone ??? Your robot doesn’t understand!! 😱😱
-
Dean Hazell (@Deano01973) reported@bt_uk my phone line been down a weekend due to BT and poor customer service.
-
Steph Murray (@DerekDonkey1977) reported@bt_uk 9 engineer visits, executive level complaint and no resolution and your solution is to close the complaint Why am I paying for a service I’m not receiving
-
AlecH (@Alec0475) reported@bt_uk Good afternoon. Am having problems with my router. Can you help please?
-
Steph Murray (@DerekDonkey1977) reported@bt_uk Referring someone to Ofcom when you won’t fix your own issues is not a solution
-
Dean Hazell (@Deano01973) reported@bt_uk Tried this and they say they now need 3 more days to resolve phone line being down. Really poor service and unacceptable.
-
Nix's (@nickinoonoos) reported@bt_uk why can we not talk to an operator anymore, dyk how, annoying it is, when no one will pick up the call and you have no WIFi for 5 weeks now and all I get told is "there's a network error" Well sort the issue, you are quick to take payment, which I will be claiming back
-
JB (@tinkjlb) reported@bt_uk absolutely disappointing service from you! 4 missed installation appointments, 4 days of annual leave WASTED!!!! Please tell me how much annual has to be used before you will actually connect the service so I can have WiFi to work from home and watch tv? Exhausting!
-
fuey (@hongkongfu3y) reported@bt_uk Ah ok thanks. I did try that and got pushed to an online help which wasn’t appropriate for my query. Will try again
-
AFCdonnilad (@afcdonnilad) reportedFormal complaint incoming. @bt_uk @EE @OpenreachHelp for nearly a MONTH. Told it’s “escalated” but no progress, no accountability, no communication. Completely unacceptable. Next step: formal complaint, compensation claim & escalation to Ofcom if not resolved immediately Pt2
-
Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported@bt_uk @simboman Hey @bt_uk Spoke to BT 'Guide' this morning & said I wanted to log complaint about this account info being available. Rec'd email confirming that at 09:46 & at 09:48 another email to say complaint closed. Does this require escalating to Allison Kirkby's office to be resolved?
-
Duncan Anderson 🍃🔋⚡️🤖 (@duncsand) reported@neural_theory @bt_uk No way to cancel on the website and I really had to hunt to find the phone number - they're trying their hardest to make it difficult.
-
6igantuar (@6igantuar) reportedI'm with BT, through them I get EE, so I can use TNT Sports, which I have to use Discovery+ to watch, and now they're saying I need an HBOMax account, but when I go to login they don't recognise my email, so I can't watch any sports that I've paid for. @bt_uk @EE @discoveryplus
-
Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported@bt_uk I’m absolutely disgusted, in this day & age of phone scams you have people phoning from unsolicited numbers about contract renewal (+44 1438 989233). All the person on the other end of the phone could say was “I promise I work on behalf of BT”. I said I can promise I’m the king of England. Do you see how stupid and dangerous this practice is? I think as a company you desperately need to review this, it’s dangerous and it’s making me think if you can be trusted at all. In this day and age it’s unforgivable to do this in this manner.

Jenny (@Sherbie001) reported@bt_uk our cordless handset is showing a message ,check landline, we have completed every check online and no problem with landline. We have phoned you and messaged you and just go around in circles with no one to speak to. We just want you to come out. Please help!
-
bakerbird (@cakey12) reported@bt_uk If your take the time to check & converse with each other you would see that several people have all been in touch saying the same thing ! Obviously it is a problem your end. Giving me another reason to leave
-
Simon Conway-Smith (@SConwaySmith) reportedIf @bt_uk/@WeAreOpenreach want to survive, they need their current customer service systems consigning to the scrap heap. They are simply unfit for purpose. Took OVER 1 HOUR to raise a service request online to repair a vandalized external fibre connection, it should have taken 5 minutes, then the wrong address was assigned to the case and an engineer 85 miles away called to say he'd be there in a few minutes 🥴 Give me strength!

JohnBLFC20* (@Johnb2005) reported@NickLFC82 seen his latest crap about selling him for 80m, one muppet him living off a tweet btsport once read out
-
Victoria Sutton (@vickiadhmsutton) reportedShame on you @bt_uk. When people lose someone they love, they need support not to be told their next of kin need to sign up to a 2yr contract to reduce the monthly bills. Utterly disgraceful. Cannot wait to cancel your services and NEVER use you again. You should be ashamed.
-
Joshua Beider (@JoshuaABeider) reported@bt_uk no service since 6pm Ryde, IOW. tried everything reboot, turn on/off. Confused as to why as there’s no outage being reported however the text AI service is saying there is?? ? Sort it ouT BT
-
Chris Fletcher (@Get_Fletch) reported@bt_uk Yup they couldn't help. I need someone from the "outbound only" reactivation team to call me
-
AM (@itsmeitsmeandy) reported@bt_uk and by any chance if you @giffgaff can actually get of your backsides and at the very least give me a engineer appointment date been waiting a month now nothing maybe i should cut out the middle man and contact your friends @virginmedia directly
-
Apex Signs (@apex_signs1) reported@bt_uk @BTBusiness I need to speak to an agent about a billing issue asap, So you tell me to go to live chat……..nobody available????? So how can I deal with this issue ?? How do I get to actually talk to someone ? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. So frustrating!!!
-
Simon (@thfcsimonm) reported@bt_uk I’ve been trying to cancel a line for 8 weeks. You still haven’t done it. Absolutely disgraceful useless service. BT is probably the worst conglomerate in the UK
