    @bt_uk so after 21 days of "service" I've had justv6 days of tv working without Internet dropping. That's really, really poor. If you don't cover Hurst Green then don't sell your service here

    Big shout out to @bt_uk who have upgraded a 91 years olds phone to a new digital line 2 weeks ago and the phones and broadband haven’t worked since! Sent 1 engineer to as it must be a problem with the setup in the house, he confirmed it was a line fault. Had 2 more appointments

    @bt_uk Tried for hours to access my account with repeated messages saying you were “encountering problems” .Finally it’s been resolved.

    @bt_uk what exactly does 'Unable to validate the information provided,' mean? If you can't provide an explanation along with the message, it's not much use. I see this is a general issue. & why do you employ people whose English is so poor they can't understand or be understood?

    @bt_uk hi. Hope you’re well. Tried DMing you about an issue with my account but I keep getting an auto response to log in to the app. Part of the issue I’m having is not being able to do that. I’m not calling 150 either. Please can someone reach out. Thanks. Paul.

    @bt_uk can't wait. One month and I can after 20 years cancel my contract to finally enjoy a decent network speed for less money. Yeehaa @Starlink good riddance @bt. Your customer service stinks

  • AlanReeve2

    @bt_uk can you help, my emails have stopped working since arriving in Nevada. Everything is set up correctly and I've tried numerous things to fix it, can't even log in via webpage

  • nwwilson
    Norman Wilson (@nwwilson) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you for that wonderful advice. I'm onto 150 as your message arrived. On hold for the past 1 hour and 2 minutes. Outstanding customer service 👏👏

  • Robswanney
    Robbie Swanson (@Robswanney) reported

    @btbusinesscare I need someone to get in touch please. Really not happy with the customer service we have received. Our broadband has been off now for over 2 weeks. You have closed the fault off as complete, when nobody attended despite you promising to come to the premises.

  • weblivz
    steven 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇱🇮🇪 (@weblivz) reported

    @bt_uk When I click the Scan for Broadband Problems the purple circle still goes on forever, so I can’t get past that screen. Everything still down.

  • AnneMurawski
    Anne Optimi-City (@AnneMurawski) reported

    @btbusinesscare 2/2 Phoned you on 0800800156, held on, connected after 16 minutes. Told him the problem, no reply then line went dead. What else can I do ?

  • PhilH1977
    PTID1977 (@PhilH1977) reported

    @bt_uk Well it don’t. It’s obviously an app issue and yes my device is all up to date.

    @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.

    @bt_uk I have had possibly the worst internet from you over the past 4 years! I pay for 950mb and barely get 130mbps on a good day. Fobbed off every time I speak to customer service. Never again

  • Michael35427696
    Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported

    @bt_uk still no reply to our complaint raised last week on the non arrival of your engineer to install full fibre for the 3rd time. Instead you closed the complaint sayng matter resolved !! Lies ! I am not waiting 30 mins in the phone either to get through to an advisor!

  • TrainDriver1982
    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    If @bt_uk tries to insist your router is broken (when actually the network is down) DO NOT accept their new router unless you enjoy your tv stream constantly buffering….

    @FlynnRyanUK @bt_uk @skytv Awful decision, sky are shockingly bad to which I can finally leave now mid contract due to their incompetence. Sky will end up shafting you in no time

    @BTGroup @bt_uk Come on #BT with your email service. You said it might not be back until tomorrow morning. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!

    Andy250 (@Ministryofmess) reported

    @bt_uk can't get in touch with anybody about an Openreach issue. I keep getting text messages saying they are going to cancel our broadband engineer. Looks like a glitch in the system.

    @me_not_animal @bt_uk I've had problems with my 90 year old mum's BT transfer to digital voice. I've been in contact with the technical team who arranged a call back that never happened. When I got back in touch after they didn't call back they denied promising to call back. BT lie to customers.

    Waiting to find out if you have a job interview is stressful enough without @bt_uk Email service dropping out and stopping you from being able to check!
