    @bt_uk Hi elderly parents have been without a phone line since Friday lunch. I reported fault via text & received: Your fault has now been submitted to our engineers, you will receive an estimated fix time within the next 48 hours. Heard nothing, line still not working?

  • gadavies83 Gemma Howard (@gadavies83) reported

    @Em_meh @bt_uk Haha @VodafoneUK have given no updates what’s so ever. Terrible customer service.

  • jokerjake6969 jakey p (@jokerjake6969) reported

    @bt_uk I'm starting to get really disappointed in your service.

  • drl David Lewis (@drl) reported

    @bt_uk how do I speak to someone on the Full Fibre team? Their phone number just diverts to the normal customer service line and despite promises on the chat that someone will call be back, they don’t. I WANT to give you more money but no one will speak to me!

  • ArcherUTD Alex (@ArcherUTD) reported

    @bt_uk are the worst company I've ever come across, turned my broadband off for no reason a week ago and its still not up. embarrassing

  • jeremy_hume Jeremy Hume (@jeremy_hume) reported

    @markchampness @bt_uk Sweden never imposed a national lockdown/mandatory mask wearing. Sweden has fewer deaths per million than the UK. It's not because of population density, Manchester has recorded more deaths than Stockholm (a similar size city). Boris Johnson's restrictions will achieve nothing.

  • Dollypeg51 Rachel Shannon (@Dollypeg51) reported

    @bt_uk hi Elaine M most of my channels have disappeared and retuning doesn’t help. Keeps saying weak signal but it’s 96%? Please can you help? I can only get BBC1 and 2 and subscription channels

  • TonTonStu StuartT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 (@TonTonStu) reported

    @bt_uk what do you think I've been doing every day for the past week??? It's your Mobile Team I've been speaking to every day. One week without a mobile phone!! Complete lack of phone service. Complete lack of customer service. Complete lack of customer care.

  • ClaireSenter Claire Senter (@ClaireSenter) reported

    @bt_uk service outage due to drink driver hitting mains box. Originally told would be 3-4 days to repair now it’s telling my won’t be till 16th Nov (3 weeks!!!) No phone signal in our area so no internet access. Assuming my bill will be altered this month?!

  • joneill1206 John O'Neill (@joneill1206) reported

  • amazinglamafire Becky Norman (@amazinglamafire) reported

  • leejos21 Leena joshi (@leejos21) reported

    @bt_uk I spoke to customer relations. Nothing can be done. I’m without Wi-Fi thanks to BT. Sky will install my Wi-Fi in 2 weeks. I should have stayed with them

  • KOJmusician Kevin Oliver Jones (@KOJmusician) reported

    @bt_uk tried to call you several times about ridiculously slow Wi-Fi! I’ve stopped the direct debit so I’m sure you’ll be in touch soon! Happy to pay for a service that works … at the moment yours does not!

  • jokerjake6969 jakey p (@jokerjake6969) reported

    @bt_uk For the past couple of months my Internet has been terrible, I'm paying £40 a month for top notch Internet and I'm also on open reach. I can't have a good connection any game I play even if wired in. I have about 700 ping each game I know first world problems but its annoying now

  • TonTonStu StuartT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 (@TonTonStu) reported

    @bt_uk hi there. My broadband is down and I need to work! Holding on for 20 mins. I need my mini hub turned on so I can work. Can you help? Hanging on isn't an option. Thanks

  • Chaloner8 Gordon Chaloner (@Chaloner8) reported

    Man @bt_uk and @EE are just both ******* garbage

  • StepBD Prof Stephen Boyd Davis (@StepBD) reported

    @bt_uk I have been a loyal - and generally happy - customer of BT for many years. I recently took out a new BT landline/broadband contract which offered 700 minutes per month. There was an error by BT in setting this up...

  • Matt_Brown1989 Matt Brown (@Matt_Brown1989) reported

    @bt_uk morning BT is there an issue with BT box and broadband? No connection for nearly 24hrs.. I've re-set which worked but has gone down again.. WIFI working like usual

  • andymcchesney Andy McChesney (@andymcchesney) reported

    @bt_uk absolutely useless customer service. Spent 2 days trying to set up parental controls and can’t access it. Says to check back in 2 hrs after you click activate but after 2 days and various attempts it’s not happened

  • lauramac38 Laura Mack (@lauramac38) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve been informed by text that the issue with my broadband has been resolved. It hasn’t I’m getting super fast speeds of less than 0.5 upload!

  • TonTonStu StuartT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 (@TonTonStu) reported

    @bt_uk Phone still not working. I have sent a DM. Please confirm receipt.

  • SamThirtyThree Sam (@SamThirtyThree) reported

    @xbox @xboxgamepass @bt_uk what happens to all your Xbox game pass ultimate that you already have on your account when you accept free bt 6 mounts Xbox game pass ultimate, now my subscription says through bt when I already had xbox game pass ultimate till 2023 ease help

  • StepBD Prof Stephen Boyd Davis (@StepBD) reported

    @bt_uk The operative was polite and friendly, but said he was unable to give me the 700 min contract that I had contracted for only a few days earlier. The experience has left me very unhappy with BT's service.

  • dannysayer Danny Sayer (@dannysayer) reported

    @OpenreachHelp 16 weeks still no internet. Work supposedly started on 25th October update due 27/10- no update, now wait till update on 5/11 but no idea of fix date just updates due. @bt_uk escalated issue to patch manager and Level 2 but still can’t get it fixed.

  • amazinglamafire Becky Norman (@amazinglamafire) reported

    @bt_uk I have no dial tone on my landline either. It says there are no local issues

  • TonTonStu StuartT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 (@TonTonStu) reported

    @bt_uk I shouldn't have bothered. The DM with the promised "update" turns out to be nothing more than telling me to "contact 150" - which I have done for 6 days now, with no progress and no help.

  • Brawlingwithink GESimons (@Brawlingwithink) reported

    @ytty92 @btsport The calibre of the fight and fighters is beyond reproach. Plant poses certain threats too. But the breadth of interest required to support PPV at 4am is a big ask. BT could have enjoyed real cache showing this one free to air but they clearly bid big and are gambling on returns.
