Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ace_pseudonym Ollie Kirkbride (@Ace_pseudonym) reported from Camborne, England

    @bt_uk No one is looking into anything. I have rung several times and emailed a complaint and not a single person has responded. I have equipment missing and a service starting for a house I don’t live in. Please delay the order until 30/10 and ensure the equipment is resent for 30/10

  • thekconsultancy thekastriconsultancy (@thekconsultancy) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    appalling attitude from @bt_uk supposed final resolution manager. Stayed for third year with new contract and completely lied to by agents/no calls back as promised and last £100 - not good enough!

  • andrew_kemp Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    Finally some competition to @virginmedia ‘a shocking internet service in my area! @bt_uk are finally doing #FttP been a long time coming... 14 years of mediocre internet service soon coming to an end!

  • Ace_pseudonym Ollie Kirkbride (@Ace_pseudonym) reported from Germoe, England

    @bt_uk I am moving house but there was a delay. let you know and u said you have changed the date. However, you then sent broadband equipment to an address half built & started my service, even through I am not in the property. Also no reply or acknowledgment to complaint email.

  • Ace_pseudonym Ollie Kirkbride (@Ace_pseudonym) reported from Camborne, England

    @bt_uk Fine. You have just lost another customer.

  • TeamSJDay Sarah (@TeamSJDay) reported from Warrington, England

    @bt_uk I can’t explain to you how annoyed I am with you right now....crap customer service, shocking lies being told and clearly zero communication. #rubbishcustomerservice #nothappy #lackingcommunication

  • motoringjourno Carlton Boyce (@motoringjourno) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    @theseoldcars @PhillTromans @bt_uk I used Zen too. Exceptional service.

  • FayeHollandUK Faye Holland (@FayeHollandUK) reported from Burwell, England

    Sorting out my father in laws accounts. He has #dementia. @TalkmobileUK terrible and unresolved - had to resort to email and who knows how long that will take. @bt_uk absolutely brilliant and went the extra mile. I know who my business goes to in the future

  • motoringjourno Carlton Boyce (@motoringjourno) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    @PhillTromans @bt_uk I told @bt_uk that I would never use it for broadband ever again. By far the worst customer service I've ever had. It literally couldn't pay me to use its services again; life's just too short to battle a corporate entity that doesn't give a shit on any level.

  • joolsmc Cllr Julie McKenzie 🎗 (@joolsmc) reported from Oban, Scotland

    Hello again @btbusinesscare - the issues with the phones at the Family Mediation service are still not resolved. They’d greatly appreciate your further support on this ....

  • TheMadness97 Sir Byron (@TheMadness97) reported from Camberwell, England

    @bmthcult @bt_uk It's terrible! Worse than Talk Talk and I'm paying more!!

  • heathercaudle Heather Caudle RN (@heathercaudle) reported from Camberley, England

    @bt_uk hello, ironically, I could not complete my online chat about my broadband and Wifi because my connection is very very bad. Please can I speak to a human.

  • efhphoto EFH (@efhphoto) reported from Manchester, England

    @TimScot72054859 @bt_uk @MarcAllera Broken promises after broken promises @bt_uk @Ofcom

  • sammyjr1990 Sam J Reynolds (@sammyjr1990) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    Twitter help me out... The telephone pole outside my house has been hit by a falling tree.. The council @WelHatCouncil say to ring BT @bt_uk say I need to ring my phone supplier @TalkTalk ask me a thousand questions about the broadband and the phone line.. THE POLE IS DAMAGED

  • satyapd69 Satya Dubey (@satyapd69) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    @bt_uk @bt_global @BTCare Worst servics with horrible customer service. In the span of 17 month three engineer visit several wifi drop still poor wifi signal at my house. For every complain the only option they have is compensation. Less than 0.3 mbps

  • iCaptnSpaulding Chris Atterbury (@iCaptnSpaulding) reported from Penrhyndeudraeth, Wales

    @bt_uk No that’s not the issue, the issue is that no matter how any device is connected, if one device is streaming video using YouTube, Netflix etc even on low resolution 480p for example, it causes huge spikes in online gaming. Many customers are facing it and it’s in media attention

  • carlozoccali Carlo Zoccali (@carlozoccali) reported from Woking, England

    @bt_uk Yes but looks like I won’t have service till next Friday at the earliest which is not ideal then still have to wait for fibre to become available not quite the upgrade I was hoping for when switched from sky

  • tweetsfromben Ben Isaacs 🚨NFLhistorybook.com🚨 (@tweetsfromben) reported from Bromley, England

    @davyshambles @CollegeGameDay @espnplayer @ESPNUK @btsport It’s on Fox and no service or channel over here has a deal with them (or Big XII) to show their games

  • efhphoto EFH (@efhphoto) reported from Manchester, England

    @TimScot72054859 @bt_uk @MarcAllera It’s been 31 days for me mate, so don’t get your hopes up any time soon. @bt_uk don’t give a toss, but on the bright side they don’t seem to have a problem with their billing department as I’m still getting these through okay.

  • Ace_pseudonym Ollie Kirkbride (@Ace_pseudonym) reported from Camborne, England

    @bt_uk I am not prepared to ring again. Be put on hold for upto an hour for the problem not to be resolved. Can you please get someone to call me.

  • stachini82 Gareth Stachini (@stachini82) reported from Manchester, England

    @code_sean @bt_uk Happened to me earlier this year so switched to @Plusnet, similar service but cheaper.

  • Ace_pseudonym Ollie Kirkbride (@Ace_pseudonym) reported from Camborne, England

    @bt_uk Move service. But with a delay as we were waiting for our house to be built.

  • jmarcjones Jon 🕷 (@jmarcjones) reported from Bethesda, Wales

    @tfoale @EnglishmanAdam @Plusnet Not enough competition and too much of a monopoly so no pressure to proceed / progress, that’s the problem and government not issuing fines for delays by @bt_uk We are well behind other countries! They laugh when we say our ‘superfast’ is 76mb tops! 😂

  • Ace_pseudonym Ollie Kirkbride (@Ace_pseudonym) reported from Camborne, England

    @bt_uk I am tempted to cancel my entire package (phone, tv, mobiles, broadband and line rental) and go with a company who can provide the service.

  • JackieLeighson Jack Leigh (@JackieLeighson) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk - the worst customer service I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with. We put in an order in July, 9 cancellations later (most of which they’ve not told us about in advance) and we still don’t have the product. If we operated this poorly we would be out of business.

  • Deborahbham Deborah Davidson 🕷 (@Deborahbham) reported from Leicestershire, England

    1. @richardbranson cannot tell you how incensed I am at the poor service I have had since signing up to @virginmedia - no one can help me sort out getting a good and consistent internet signal across the whole house (which @bt_uk could) - amazed how the new technology is worse.

  • DavidHickman87 David Hickman (@DavidHickman87) reported from Wellington, England

    @bt_uk Yeah didn't help. It's only certain websites it won't load or play videos on.

  • Grace_KIS Grace Graham MSc (@Grace_KIS) reported from Hackney, England

    Thank you @bt_uk, you're the business. Shaun, one of your agents took the time to help me to get one over on scammers/hackers who tried to get my information and internet details. Just simply turn off your WPS configuration and they can't get in! #CyberSecurity #onlinesafety

  • sasathaz Sallie Taylor (@sasathaz) reported from Frome, England

    4 weeks into new BT High Speed Fibre contract and having regular issues with connection - out again today in BA12 very disappointed in @bt_uk

  • JackieLeighson Jack Leigh (@JackieLeighson) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk You’ve been trying to help for months to no avail, I just wanted to flag how crap the service has been - it’s a business account.
