  • HouseReef Andy (@HouseReef) reported

    @bt_uk This has only started happening the past week or so, and several of my neighbours are having issues too. Devices haven’t changed, the number of them hasn’t changed, locations of everything hasn’t changed yet so whats up with that?

  • ChallengeKanza Kanza (@ChallengeKanza) reported

    @bt_uk Cheers Aled. Really really need it working for work tomorrow! Otherwise I'm going to have to seriously look elsewhere as these issues are becoming far too often now!

  • H3nno59 Henno59 (@H3nno59) reported

    @BTCare im trying to cancel an engineers visit but its impossible

  • AlanEndicott Alan Endicott (@AlanEndicott) reported

    @BTBusiness @BT_uk When your iconic red phone boxes are taken out of service are they available for purchase? Even by an American?

  • Ry_R0se Ry Ry (@Ry_R0se) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @bt_uk can’t get any 4G Mobile signal in my area for the past week any reason why?

  • geraintrowlands Geraint Rowlands (@geraintrowlands) reported

    Just cancelled @btsport purely because of the shoddy service of BT Broadband if you are looking for services look elsewhere - shambles

  • ratporchrico ratporchrico (@ratporchrico) reported

    @CockertonMark @JRainbowWarrior @bt_uk Pretty dire and expensive. Plusnet were great and the one time I needed customer service they were great too.

  • mesherange Angela (@mesherange) reported

    @bt_uk This truly is not good enough and I’m reaching out to the bbc consumer programme to highlight the ineptitude and lack of service from BT

  • Grompar_ 🎮Grompar🎮 (@Grompar_) reported

    After hearing about how @bt_uk treat their staff, as soon as I'm out of contract I'm signing up with someone else

  • Ducey000 Sammy Duce (@Ducey000) reported

    @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare New customer, install date 10/06/22. STILL NOT WORKING! 3 BUSINESS DAYS WITH NO PHONE. No help, no call back. Totally mis sold a digital line, I just want a simple phone line. Losing revenue daily. Businesses, avoid at all costs.

  • JaneHea46616881 Jane H (@JaneHea46616881) reported

    @bt_uk Please help. My mum, who is disabled, has had no phone/Internet in her new flat for 6 weeks. No mobile phone signal so couldn't call 999 if she fell. Cut off from essential services (1)

  • Spencer_Ohio1 John (@Spencer_Ohio1) reported

    @bt_uk Can you please educate your customer service teams that the retailer/sender is responsible for resolving any delivery issues? UK consumer law states the buyer/receiver isn't expected to chase up and resolve delivery issues. BT chose @RoyalMail so BT contact Royal Mail!!!

  • Greaves_D David Greaves (@Greaves_D) reported

    Had engineers round five times to sort our unreliable broadband with massive speed fluctuations, all while being told everything is fine. I have now been told to deal with it or cancel the contract. Disappointed is an understatement @bt_uk

  • Harybo007 HBo (@Harybo007) reported

    @bt_uk Hi BT, an account was set up using my email address but I’m not the customer. I’ve already called about this but have just received more emails about ‘my account’. Please can someone get in touch?

  • CounselOfWolf Bob The Builder (@CounselOfWolf) reported

    Second Tuesday night in a row and bloody @bt_uk broadband internet is down again! Really poor service for what we pay. Fix our line or your exchange issues ASAP please!

  • StadiaDoghouse Doghouse (@StadiaDoghouse) reported

    @GoogleStadia Hey @bt_uk, would you have any incite at all about this? It seems to be a common problem with the Smart Hub 2 and it not allowing user control of the assignment of the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. Is there anything you can suggest to resolve this that doesn't involve buying a new.. 1/2

  • EAHNS EAHNS (@EAHNS) reported

    @BTCare shambolic customer service from BT and open reach strikes again. Not only have I been without broadband since Saturday but open reach have just decided not to turn up today for a prebooked appointment. Had I not called the customer services I would have sat here all day!

  • CJXXXXW Chris (@CJXXXXW) reported from Darlington, England

    @bt_uk Hi saying no known issues but for the last hour it’s been offline and back online must be 10/15 times at least

  • PrettyDemented Shell 🏳️‍🌈 (@PrettyDemented) reported from Dalgety Bay, Scotland

    @bt_uk Hi, i’m not a customer of yours, but we’ve just been delivered a tv box for someone who doesn’t live at our address?

  • mesherange Angela (@mesherange) reported

    @bt_uk Are you not aware of the issue? We have been waiting days now - my father is vulnerable and needs the care line

  • neilabrad Neil Bradford (@neilabrad) reported

    @bt_uk is there an issue with email services this morning? Getting an authentication error and cannot receive email on any device.

  • JaneHea46616881 Jane H (@JaneHea46616881) reported

    @bt_uk Fibre installed in area, but not to block of flats. Waiting for OpenReach to install through ducts/risers. Meanwhile, your systems won't allow your teams to sell her copper phone/broadband. Desperate for help now.

  • JaneHea46616881 Jane H (@JaneHea46616881) reported

    @bt_uk Every call, told different things, but no solution. She's distraught after being told copper line installed today, but turns out not possible (despite wonderful OpenReach engineer) Can you make exception for extremely vulnerable customer? (3/3)

  • ANDYBE65 Andy | NOWHERE TALENT (@ANDYBE65) reported

    @bt_uk *************** now!! WTF is going on!!!!!!!!

  • JackinHD Newms (@JackinHD) reported

    @bt_uk do many people have issues with the bt tv pro box freezing and crashing when you open apps or is that just mine?

  • tammytastic69 The Timelush 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@tammytastic69) reported

    @CockertonMark @bt_uk Increased my service with them in Feb on a 2 year contract - put the price up in March. Staff are lovely but as a business they are terrible. On the other hand - aren’t they all ?

  • BevRawle Bev (@BevRawle) reported

    @bt_uk I forgot to write Fix on the text

  • Andrea82989558 Andrea (@Andrea82989558) reported
