    @bt_uk Fibre helluva slow, instead of mbs I'm kbs,from a steady 50mbs to kbs,down detector has it up & down over last 24hrs,seriously not impressed,probably take about 5min to send this !

  • StubbsyAndy Stubbsy (@StubbsyAndy) reported

    @bt_uk BT are apparently responsible for the streets telegraph pole and phone lines. @AmberValleyBC are responsible for allowing your engineers to do the work. Can’t work out why this far down the line nothing has been done at all

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @bt_uk I'm just trying to alert you to an issue, and life's too short to be faffing around with stuff like that. It's not affecting my service, I just noticed it on a walk - so when you start getting reports of network faults near Hope, Flintshire the problem may well be this one!

  • garethrees9 Gareth Rees (@garethrees9) reported

    @bt_uk You looking into things has caused the issues 🙄

  • rothiemoon John Poyner 🦌🌲 (@rothiemoon) reported

    @bt_uk Because I can’t get an EE signal.

  • DeGerBurg JorgenVan (@DeGerBurg) reported

    @bt_uk Are there any issues in the TA1 area? Our FTTC connection has been bad since 13:00.

  • howard_sheena Sheena Howard (@howard_sheena) reported

    @bt_uk I need to cancel some of my TV package and I need to upgrade my broadband. Both you can not do via the mediums of App or website

  • Stig41 Adam Hill (@Stig41) reported

    @bt_uk are you aware of the massive service outage

  • Mandyp34173855 Mandyp (@Mandyp34173855) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, your customer service rep spoke to the “value team” the response was to review contract in Nov 2022. no correspondence that it was increased last year. I would be interested to know what you offer a new customer? Broadband and BT Sport - bet it is a lot less than mine!

  • NozferatuAgain Neil (@NozferatuAgain) reported

    @AckerHeron @bt_uk I've found that out since,the problem is that Openreach don't seem to know either

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @bt_uk I'm having one more try with the 'Eiva' virtual assistant jobbie. Finally managed to sustain a conversation with an Openreach agent somewhere a very long way away. It's painful - I've explained the exact nature and location of the problem several times, but they don't get it.

  • xratedbitxh Ellie (@xratedbitxh) reported

    @bt_uk hi. So you workers can go tell your "advisors" that they have officially given me more trust issues that my dead dad has ever given to me so thank you for making me wait a month for wifi with over 4 DELAYED engineer appointments.

  • susiesooze Susie Roberts 💙 (@susiesooze) reported

    @bt_uk I have sent a DM. Please could someone look into my issue. Thank you.

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @bt_uk How can I contact a U.K. based engineer to report a network issue? The only thing your website offers is a ‘virtual assistant’ thing which connects me to an agent based in a different country and then disconnects me mid-conversation.

  • jfparis 💉💉💉JF (@jfparis) reported

    Some scam artist was trying to get me to connect to my @bt_uk account this morning. I was going along with them to see what they were up to. (sadly I do not have an account so they hang up on me when I told them my password was invalid)

    @bt_uk still no updates from you. You keep telling me lies since November. This is unacceptable. I still havent been upgraded to fibre 2. You have the worst customer service ever.

  • skinz1bar Skinner (@skinz1bar) reported

  • bayles01 stephen bayley (@bayles01) reported

    @btsport hi, I’m trying to cancel my subscription. No problem with the channel, we are just not using it. I am however finding it difficult to do, no one is answering the phone. I’ve been on hold for 30 minutes now. I’ll just cancel the direct debit and see if that helps.

  • acehoodflow Jamey ⭐️⭐️ (@acehoodflow) reported
