Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Macro Bielsa (@Forex_trader_4u) reported@bt_uk why do you make it so hard to cancel your products. It’s a disgrace and should be investigated by the CMA. Spent nearly an hour trying to find and then cancel my internet. Scum
-
Sem Essessi (@SemiEssessi) reported@bt_uk your customer service has gone right down the drain. your entire automated system is made of options that assume a million things that are not true for me. its just infuriating and you keep wasting my phone credit by failing to do basic back office jobs. call me ffs.
-
Warren Peters (@wizza_wozza) reported@bt_uk The options you’ve suggested don’t cater for someone who has very poor mobile signal and no WiFi, your auto tech checks say it’s working fine, but it isn’t. You’ve been contacted a few times during the week, several times today and still no resolution.
-
Sev (@Sevka_T) reportedHi, I haven't been a customer since 2024 and today I am receiving texts and emails saying my trial is coming to an end. What is going on? @bt_uk
-
Akram🇵🇸 (@akrxm94) reportedWhy do BT/TNT Sports make it so hard on their website to cancel your subscriptions? So unclear and they only give a telephone number to call, and I call twice to get cut off both times after 10 minutes. Make it easier for customers to cancel subscriptions! @bt_uk @tntsports
-
Tim Hempstead (@thempstead) reported@bt_uk And that's the problem, it never does change ... for years and years "If you go with Halo 3 + when you get fttp then you should get a free upgrade. That should happen in 12 months" Yeah, didn't happen
-
jackbwater (@jackbwater) reported@mizmuggle @bt_uk Now router says "connected" (an improvement) but internet doesn't work 'cos the DNS IP address the router is getting is wrong. Can't even ping the DNS IP 81.139.56.100 No option to set DNS from BT Router! Changing DNS IP locally , to 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4 and internet works.
-
The Emperor Son (@TheEmperorSon) reportedHay @EE and @bt_uk, next time you have a broadband outage can you text me that there's a problem in the area to my mobile phone about the issue? I thought there was a problem with my hub, so performed a reset and unknowingly lost all my contacts. I assumed that the numbers where stored in the handset. My fault for not reading the instructions - but because I didn't know about the broadband outage, I thought the fault was the equipment. Have now added my contacts back to the phone, which are stored in the hub.

Sheila kirkby (@kirkbysheila28) reported@bt_uk @Boston_Rabbit What a way to treat a 92yr old @bt_uk you should be ashamed
-
Simon Caffrey (@caffrey_simon) reported@bt_uk fault is on the openreach copper network.
-
Paul Nichol (@peeblesrunner) reported@bt_uk I need to speak to someone about my mums phone and internet being down. She is an elderly vulnerable customer living alone rurally. Please give me a number I can call as it’s impossible to navigate your IVR.
-
dannnehhh (@dannnehhh) reportedHi @bt_uk I’ve not been a customer of yours for some time now, however received an SMS and email this morning from yourselves stating my speed trial is ending for my broadband is ending in 7 days. Was this an error?
-
Claire🌹 (@sundaygirl851) reported@bt_uk Well so far when speaking to people he's just been fobbed off with 'well it should be happening as we speak so he feels like people aren't actually really trying to help him so he's reluctant to ring again snd is now stuck between 2 phones....
-
Amai Chong Memes business (@AmaiChong_ninja) reported@bt_uk Our thoughts are with the people who used BT’s service and found out: •Hidden charges are everywhere. •The app is useless and has no interaction with the company. I’ve messaged you 6 times now with no reply. Scammers
-
Gari MacColl (@JGMacColl) reported@bt_uk I just feel paying £50 a month more than a new customer, shows a serious lack of customer service, loyalty goes both ways.
-
AutumnaL (@HightoDeep) reported@eventhestarsuk @bt_uk I thought new customer only deals had been stopped! ******* rob dogs *forgive the swear
-
Yorkie Paul (@Yorkiebloke) reported@bt_uk Your guides basically said I’ll have to dispute it with Vodafone. You’re expecting me to pay for a service that was cancelled when I switched to Vodafone. I even had an email stating my final bill would be £15. Loyal BT customer for over ten years
-
Kristen Covo (@kcovophoto) reported@bt_uk Not to mention I now have the inconvenience of having to post back your faulty product from a post office (are there any left in London?) Instead of your engineer just taking it. Why do I as a customer have to work for you?
-
Simon Caffrey (@caffrey_simon) reported@WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk are useless, saying no network fault so sending me a new hub even though I explained multiple properties and service providers affected 1/
-
Josh (@_JoshDenham) reportedHi guys, is there any reason why my Broadband Hub won't connect this evening? I've tried the usual off and on again, factory reset but no connection whatsoever! Please help? @bt_uk
-
Di- Rect..🎗️🇮🇱🇬🇧(To The Point) (@ReformedMr) reported@bt_uk That was message to me whilst I’m at work. I really could do with some help for her. I can supply you all the information you need, but obviously I don’t wanna do it on a public forum. Thank you so much for reaching out to me.
-
The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported@bt_uk And to add insult to injury, the last 2 times the number they've given me is "not in service". Must be the worst telecoms company in the uk. Prove me wrong.
-
Sonia Rossi 🇮🇹 🇬🇧 (@srossi72) reported@bt_uk I need help. Tried DMing and got a bot. Tried through the BT FB messenger...get a bot... Where can I message BT?.. I cant ring at the mo.
-
Lou Skunt (@Bubbler_Ranx) reported@bt_uk just got a text that my phone bill is ready but I still can’t log into my account without giving my phone number. We’re getting to the point where I cancel the direct debit. I’m not DMing and I’m not taking time out of my day to call. Why do I need to supply a number?
-
Josh (@_JoshDenham) reported@bt_uk So the service is down according to the website, but nothing anywhere before logging into my account, or yourselves here, acknowledged that beforehand. When can I expect my access to the broadband to be back?
-
Technicslover (@technicslover) reportedHet @bt_uk @EE we don't have a landlines any more and we're never going to subscribe to your ****** ripoff broadband or TV service so can you come and take the cable away? Thanks.
-
mrchrisjohn (@mrchrisjohn) reported@bt_uk Your two-factor authorisation is not working No text messages are coming through!!
-
patrick mcgill (@_mowgli73) reported@bt_uk wifi is dropping to ridiculously slow levels ( 2.4mbps). Contract has just run out....coincidence? Tried to do an online check and your online service is down. Shocking
-
Mark (@Walesguy2) reported@RSh234 @bt_uk @bt_uk are shockingly bad.
-
Helen Wakelam (@HelenWakelam) reported@bt_uk how do I get to speak with someone on the helpdesk about a broadband fault instead of dealing with a dreadful bot over text - disgraceful service?
