  • StewartPinner1 I’m president elect,no I’mPresident elect (@StewartPinner1) reported

    @TalkTalk Well that proves the point I was saying I wish I had chosen you and not @bt_uk as my provider. Ironic you replied to a complaint about @bt_uk and they haven’t bothered. Not that I’m the least surprised they couldn’t careless. I will use you next time for sure.

  • clm2071 Septimus McClonk (@clm2071) reported

    @susiesooze @bt_uk I have the same email. It gives no info about what channels are going, no info about what happens if you do nothing. Links to taking out a new 24 month contract or cancelling without a fee....it really is very poor, reads as if you dont value your customers

  • myviewofmylife My view of my life (@myviewofmylife) reported

    @bt_uk Yes Aled I do. Was promised the issue would be resolved Saturday and it wasn’t. Was then promised it would be resolved yesterday and it wasn’t. I was then promised a call today that didn’t happen, I’m impressed at the sheer level of incompetence!

  • JuFitJuJu Julian (@JuFitJuJu) reported

    Now taking side bets on IF the new @bt_uk router is going to start working......was this morning before the engineer came and ‘boosted’ our signal....lost it more like

  • ThomasLister01 Thomas Lister (@ThomasLister01) reported

    @bt_uk are the worst broadband providers ever! Sign you up to a super new deal with guaranteed Wi-fi yeah you get Wi-fi and internet for a good few hours a day absolute joke! They will ruin our family Christmas far more than Boris!

  • abp_arsenal Alan Peters (@abp_arsenal) reported

    @bt_uk That is exactly like we get when we try to stream anything. Guess what, we are with BT. Cost to fix? £78000, they say.

  • JackDogAiredale Jack-Dog (@JackDogAiredale) reported from Busbridge, England

    @Marcuspdm Hoomum woke up and is now awake trying to sort out her stoopid @BTGroup @bt_uk broadband 😡🤬For a business that is “breaking down the barriers of today to release the potential of tomorrow” they do seem monumentally hopeless.

  • susiesooze Susie Roberts (@susiesooze) reported

    @bt_uk But I don’t understand how much more I will have to pay & what I have to do. Is there anyone who can help please?

  • Cherry54820565 Cherry (@Cherry54820565) reported

    @RuthieeL @bt_uk I really need your help 😭😭😭

  • njcarr Nikki Walker (@njcarr) reported

    @bt_uk why make a family go without broadband for over a week promising to connect our new service by last night only to fail to deliver? We went with you due to the customer service yet so far its massively disappointing and husband is still on hold 30 mins later #fail

  • alijohnstone3 Alison Johnstone (@alijohnstone3) reported

    @bt_uk I can’t work from home and delayed broadband now to 31st Dec. Surely open reach can help you out we were originally promised 23rd Dec to call me didn’t service has been awful and then I get a new two year contract sent to me really ?

  • MattLong1980 Matt Long - Actor/Producer (@MattLong1980) reported

    @GlynisSpencer @bt_uk At those prices perhaps they can afford to fix my non working phoneline which is still broken after 3 weeks due to their systems cockup.

  • margieson13 Bret Margieson (@margieson13) reported

    @bt_uk hi my line was supposed to be activated yesterday and you text me saying it was up and running but my hub is still flashing pink and has no internet. Please help I need this desperately for work

  • pastyman72 🇬🇮 Darren Crisp 🇬🇮 (@pastyman72) reported

    The Jean-Marc Bosman documentary with @teamginola on @btsport is a must watch. That poor man sacrificed so much for his peers. Financially and mentally. Such a sad story. He deserved a much better outcome.

  • he4therw4t5on Heather Watson (@he4therw4t5on) reported

    @bt_uk ...apparently complaints shouldn't go on any longer than 56 days? Hmmmm? We've lost track of the telephone calls (most averaging at 60mins plus) text messages/orders which mysteriously disappear/ engineers who fail to turn up...

  • AtBrookes Brookes at 93 (@AtBrookes) reported

    @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach yet more failed promises. How can a house move go SOOOO wrong! Still no functioning landline, still empty promises, still no resolution! What a shambles

  • Natalie3799 Natalie Russell (@Natalie3799) reported

    @bt_uk ongoing fault with throughput issue, STILL waiting for callback from Paige M @ Liverpool office despite numerous requests. Ongoing for a month now - please CALL US BACK.

  • he4therw4t5on Heather Watson (@he4therw4t5on) reported

    @bt_uk escalated concerns to complaint. Promised fibre to the premises yet. We've just checked on @OpenreachHelp website where it says only to cabinet! (Did i mention BT Still charging us fibre to cabinet since Oct?)

  • shahidiqbkhan Shahid Iqbal Khan (@shahidiqbkhan) reported

    @ManiDosanjh89 @VodafoneUK I'm having the same problem with @bt_uk in the Walmersley area. Their update says it will be fixed by tomorrow but I hope it doesn't take that long.

  • CallumHeinrich CALLUM HEINRICH (@CallumHeinrich) reported

    @bt_uk YOU ARE JOKING. THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE EVER REVIVED. YOU HAVE TURNED OFF ALL OUR COMMUNICATIONS WITH NO AUTHORITY FROM US. WE HAVE PAID FOR ALL OUR SERVICES AND YOU HAVE JUST TURNED THEM OFF.

  • niccshortt Nicole 🌼 (@niccshortt) reported

    @bt_uk Yea it is. It’s been down all day from 8am

  • chrislord Chris Lord (@chrislord) reported

    @bt_uk @btsport is BT Sport free to watch on the app for fibre customers? I am sure I read it was but can’t login to the app? #btsport #btfibre

  • susiesooze Susie Roberts (@susiesooze) reported

    @bt_uk It is a letter not an email. It’s very confusing & gives no advice at all. I’ve been a BT customer for many years & do not expect to have to change things & therefore pay more in the middle of my contract. Surely you should be aware of this letter that has been sent to customers?

  • he4therw4t5on Heather Watson (@he4therw4t5on) reported

    @bt_uk Award for WORST service!We have been trying unsuccessfully to get fibre into our new home. BT unable to coordinate this. Cut us off. Made promises they didn't deliver.Charged us for service not provided. We need decent broadband for two IT professionals working from home.

  • MatthewAston8 Matthew Aston (@MatthewAston8) reported

    @bt_uk That would help thanks

  • DanLcfc1996 Dan (@DanLcfc1996) reported

    @bt_uk im seem to be struggling with Internet connection problems can u open dms with me

  • CallumHeinrich CALLUM HEINRICH (@CallumHeinrich) reported

    @bt_uk this is hands down the worst customer service I have ever received. So we are moving house in January and apparently the people moving into our house have switched the line to theirs? with no communication on to us? And THEY HAVENT MOVED YET.

  • clm2071 Septimus McClonk (@clm2071) reported

    @bt_uk @susiesooze Its says to cancel. Top customer care there @bt_uk real focus on customer retention

  • CallumHeinrich CALLUM HEINRICH (@CallumHeinrich) reported

    @bt_uk are you joking. You have just switched off all our internet and landline WITH NO COMMUNICATION because the people moving into our house(IN JANUARY) have taken over our account. BT YOU ARE THE WORST. WE NEED THIS SORTED TODAY.

  • margieson13 Bret Margieson (@margieson13) reported

    @bt_uk hi my new line was meant to be activated today, you have text me to say everything is running and able to be used yet my smart hub is flashing pink and I can’t connect. I need this desperately for work please help!
