    @bt_uk my internet connection for my business account has gone down and the system checker keeps crashing. Tried calling but then keep getting directed to go online 🙄

    **** BT. Bunch of *****. ****** me around since minute one. Still ******* me around now. No ******* customer support. Bunch of *****. @bt_uk what’s your ******* resolution? Taking my money and not providing me the WiFi. Come on ********* I’m waiting for your reply. @bt_uk

    @clarescastle @btbusinesscare I've just cancelled all our business with them after 30 plus years. The incredible customer service we used to enjoy is a thing of the past

    @bt_uk I’m absolutely disgusted, in this day & age of phone scams you have people phoning from unsolicited numbers about contract renewal (+44 1438 989233). All the person on the other end of the phone could say was “I promise I work on behalf of BT”. I said I can promise I’m the king of England. Do you see how stupid and dangerous this practice is? I think as a company you desperately need to review this, it’s dangerous and it’s making me think if you can be trusted at all. In this day and age it’s unforgivable to do this in this manner.

    @TalkTalk It's @BTCare #Openreach that's the issue. All my neighbours went down and I'm the only TT customer, but everyone's providers are over Openreach. They simply don't give a ****.

    @btbusinesscare broadband cable has come down in the road and now several residential and business premises without broadband for 4 days. Estimated repair date moves forward on a daily basis. How long will this take? Will I receive a discount off my bill for no service?

    @btbusinesscare absolute shite!!! Been on the phone 3hrs noone can help me as YOU have made an error! Can't access the app because of your error, can't pass security because of your error!! Can't track down the new hub that was supposedly delivered 3wks ago!! Disgusting!!

    @bt_uk you still haven’t fixed what you did. Admitted to accidentally switching off our broadband and my elderly boss and his son were up till 4am at @OrionCinema trying to find an alternative way to keep our business running. We’re barely keeping our heads above water. HELP!!!

    @bt_uk @virginmedia @CityFibre I need to report massive internet outage in the following postcodes NE1 TO NE38 DH9 DH1, DH6, DH7 TS26, TS27, TS28 11564 - Riyadh Saudi Arabia 21442 - Jeddah Saudi Arabia Internet must be down as "Visitors" are awfully quiet

    @WeAreOpenreach OR sent a text this am saying my fault had been FIXED. However, the landline is STILL dead and has been dead since March 10th. I live alone and am a pensioner. @bt_uk @Ofcom Help!

  • CazMorgan5
    Caz Morgan (@CazMorgan5) reported

    @bt_uk What a joke of a reply. As I said, my boss was on the phone to you for hours on end; 4.5hours being passed from pillar to post and you want him to do that again? Why does the customer have to do all the chasing for your mistake?

  • tsfitness2
    Trainstation Fitness (@tsfitness2) reported

    We’re really sorry to all our customers affected by the ongoing internet outage. Our service has been disrupted and, despite relying on BT Business for support, we’ve been left without the help we urgently need. We know this has caused frustration and inconvenience @bt_uk

  • theGrimey
    Tobes (@theGrimey) reported

    @EE @EE your option here is to escalate this appropriately, such as @bt_uk did historically with a similar issue (and before this godforsaken merger saw such a decline in service quality) - or I shall opt to seek your executives out directly.

    @bt_uk no had problems for about a month now in middle of a online game and the broadband starts flashing orange and kicks me

  • rachelleese84
    Rachel (@rachelleese84) reported

    @bt_uk we’ve had problems with our wifi for a month. Multiple open reach engineers claim to have fixed it. None have. Latest made it worse. No wifi at all. Impossible to speak to a human who is helpful. I’m disabled and rely on the internet.

  • JohnB_Rivendell
    John Brett (@JohnB_Rivendell) reported

    @btbusinesscare Since the last 2 updates (8.2.6 & 8.2.7) the app doesn’t work properly. Can do some like speed test and service status but it won’t let me access the hub with my admin password to control WiFi, guest access etc. Fault reporting gets stuck and cycles round to the beginning.

    @bt_uk your website is so desperately poor. You offer a chance to edit my details and then you grey out the submit button, then you deny access to the page #hopeless #fail

  • 6igantuar

    I'm with BT, through them I get EE, so I can use TNT Sports, which I have to use Discovery+ to watch, and now they're saying I need an HBOMax account, but when I go to login they don't recognise my email, so I can't watch any sports that I've paid for. @bt_uk @EE @discoveryplus

  • rachelleese84
    Rachel (@rachelleese84) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. Honestly, my husband has called at least 10 times. We’ve had multiple openreach visits. Each claiming to have fixed it but haven’t. Latest is tomorrow but I have zero confidence it will fix the issue.

    @btbusinesscare my 90 year old Mother is still waiting for her landline to be fixed. Fault at exchange. 3 days now she has been without and she's on your priority list. Her lifeline system is also not working because of the Fault with her landline..... When is it going to be on

  • TrainDriver1982
    Dwain Driver (@TrainDriver1982) reported

    @bt_uk Can’t believe this. Obvious misdiagnosed as both neighbours and ours routers going down. Now I’ve had an email to say my router is being delivered…. to next door.

    @bt_uk hi, an engineer was meant to visit today as my internet has barely been working since it was installed about a week ago and no one has turned up? i’m a new customer and beyond unimpressed, regretting switching to your broadband

    @giffgaff still waiting no engineer appointment ask for that useless link i cant even send message, blocks me with a ticket issued message, no customer service is a big red flag but inspite of that will give you 1 week i hear nothing i shall go elsewhere who knows maybe stick with @bt_uk

    @WeAreOpenreach @KeoghsLaw @bt_uk The link does not work. I have sent you a private message! This is truly ridiculous by Openreach who as far as I can gauge are acting in bad faith!

  • stevethatch77
    Steve Thatcher (@stevethatch77) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for the advice but I am not wasting more time, trying to get hold of you. Part of my complaint is the amount of time wasted trying to sort your error out. The onus is on you to show some customer service and have the decency to contact me following my complaint.

    @btbusinesscare Any absolute shambles of a business.. No one taking any responsibility, complaint still going since June 24th !!! 5 months…
