    @bt_uk is bt down in North London and why do I need to text a premium number to get support and information?

  • donovox Alex Donohue (@donovox) reported

    @1978Tucker @bt_uk Same here, my account and reset details are not recognised. The problem is at your end. Thanks,

  • HelenGavaghan Helen Gavaghan. Illustration. Early warning by me. (@HelenGavaghan) reported

    @bt_uk Many thanks for your help. It turns out a fuse had flipped. So, on this occasion there was no problem. I only realised it had flipped when an item on the same circuit did mot work. Just called to resolve matters.

  • OliverJSmith Oliver Smith (@OliverJSmith) reported

    We're both on BT mobile contracts, and using the official @bt_uk homehub router. Is there anything worth trying to maintain any mobile usability at home after the #SignalAssist service is terminated? #BTSignalAssist

  • el_stevie Stephanie Ellis (@el_stevie) reported

    @bt_uk I hear there are problems with email. I can't login to this or login to mybt either.

  • DavidSevern7 David Severn (@DavidSevern7) reported

    @bt_uk There seems to be a problem with your email. I have two email addresses. The names/passwords for both are repeatedly being rejected.

  • videowatcher111 Stuart Gibson (@videowatcher111) reported

    @FFScout_Mark @WorkTheSpace @bt_uk I'm the same, but It would be the same with every provider, openreach does the repairs, and the people in the centres don't get paid enough to fix this

  • UrbanLife8 Urban Life (@UrbanLife8) reported

    @bt_uk hello. Is there a problem with login? Have been logged in and contacting you re a network fault. However now not recognised?

  • stehart11 Steven Hart (@stehart11) reported

    @bt_uk My BB is down . Flashing purple. Kids are going mad. Is there an online chat I can use instead of text messaging

    @kr236rk @bt_uk Just called BT. It's an ongoing problem. They said try again in 4 or 5 hours. Don't try resetting your password.

  • user427116 Will i am (@user427116) reported

    @NeilHodgson100 Perhaps I'll vote with my wallet and cancel my @btsportmotogp @btsport subscription. I don't need to pay fools who are too big for their boots.

  • JohnRhys John Prydderch (@JohnRhys) reported

    Well @SkyHelpTeam , @bt_uk & @WeAreOpenreach you have all contributed to an awful customer experience moving from Sky to BT. Day 2 of no broadband and no idea when I’ll be reconnected. Errors at every turn and left to me to resolve #hopeless

  • theothe85014759 theotherme (@theothe85014759) reported

    @bt_uk I do get the idea of hotspots creating a network available when you’re away from home, but it literally creates an in-home Wi-Fi access point free of the parental controls that BT advertise as a benefit

  • simondh Simon Hewitt (@simondh) reported

    @1978Tucker @bt_uk I've got the same problem.

  • TheMattPrime Matt Prime (@TheMattPrime) reported

  • thegodfatherITA The Godfather (@thegodfatherITA) reported

    @bt_uk why is there an internet outage in the TN37 area?

  • markyh444 Mark Houghton (@markyh444) reported

    @WorkTheSpace This kind of stuff should be checked remotely well in advance of 6 engineers being sent out to you. Poor form @bt_uk

  • simondh Simon Hewitt (@simondh) reported

    @bt_uk I presume there is an email fault at the moment? An announcement on your support line would be useful.

  • simondh Simon Hewitt (@simondh) reported

    @murphy_9913 @bt_uk A few people are having the same problem.

  • cjdag2 cjdag (@cjdag2) reported

    @bt_uk Why is the email log in not working (again)

  • DewstaDJ John Dewey (@DewstaDJ) reported

    @bt_uk you appear to have issues with web email at the moment in UB8. I have rung your status telephone messaging and it says that there are only issues with BT Sport and no issues with landlines or email. Can you confirm if there are any email issues? Many thanks.

  • el_stevie Stephanie Ellis (@el_stevie) reported

    @bt_uk They've both just come back! I can login now.

  • Ninacaufield1 Ninacaufield (@Ninacaufield1) reported
