BT (British Telecom) Outage in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England

Twitter help me out... The telephone pole outside my house has been hit by a falling tree.. The council @WelHatCouncil say to ring BT @bt_uk say I need to ring my phone supplier @TalkTalk ask me a thousand questions about the broadband and the phone line.. THE POLE IS DAMAGED

@btbusinesscare @BTBusiness no phone line since Wednesday. You promised it would be fixed by Friday. Please help! #complaints #BT

@btbusinesscare @BTBusiness please help! No phone line since Wednesday. You promised it would be fixed by Friday #complaints

@jpph10 @OfficialBHAFC @SpursOfficial @btsport Looks like @Lord_Sugar has same issue

@bt_uk Lol, but not a great advert for BTs service. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "BT, you'll get better service in Portugal"......

@bt_uk Yes. The line has been down for days. Need broadband for business!

So I called @bt_uk noon today asked about cancellation of my contract, i was told i can do it anytime, i started a contact with @Hyperoptic and called bt to cancel, i was then told to pay a £200+ fine!! I was never told that in the first phonecall!! #liedtobybt #btlies

@btsport so UFC 239 is now £19.95. I’m in contract and just spoke to Customer Service to be told that basically tough! 🤬🤬🤬

@bt_uk why is your btinternet service so awful. Trying to set up yahoo(so yesterday) on my iPhone and hassle after hassle. Time to say farewell to you. #byebyebt

@bt_uk Hi. When it drops it goes red to green to blue. It looks like the speed is slowly handshaking its way down to zero. Every drop restarts and lowers the speed

@bt_uk Very frustrating, my landline is broken, we’ve reported it BUT we keep getting texts talking about our broadband! UNPROFESSIONAL! Listen to what we’re saying (3x now).. Broadband = FINE, Landline = BROKEN!

well done @WWE what a way to lose a load of viewers by giving up a 30 year service from Sky - we pay enough as it is let alone paying more for @btsport .. well I know where I will be watching WWE going forward , awful decision 😪

@btbusinesscare @btbusinesscare Your fault number 10763322 / complaint number: IMP-104593642. No telephone / broadband since Saturday evening (almost 70 hours now), your service sucks. Hope this message reaches your CEO Mr Gerry McQuade. You charge £1500/month for fibre optic broadband, its scam

Love how the btsport picture went down when roman abramovich came into view. Hackers 🧐 #EuropaLeague2019

Ready for the big game. Only issue I have is that it appears that @GaryLineker and @rioferdy5 have been squashed into a small studio. Clearly the Nou Camp doesn’t have the facilities the @btsport team are used to. #football #btsport #championsleague #BARLIV #BarcelonaLiverpool

I thought listening to Andy Walker on @skysports was bad but OMG @btsport Mcmanaman 🙄 mute on I think

...but some of the editing work was poor. Not sure if it’s @btsport editing or a central hub but felt we missed several parts of the action as slow-mo replays of nothing incidents were shown while we could also hear the fans + commentators interested in something we couldn’t see

@AndyhHolt @btsport @EmiratesFACup Better than 6pm Sunday. not overly bad for Luton fans if we win the replay but for Sheff Wed fans not good. Bottom line 6pm on a Sunday is not a natural time for a football match

@btsport is there a mute button to cut out Steve Mc’manaman’s constant droning & slagging of arsenal. He is suppose to be neutral when commentating surely. All he does is poke at the Gunners.... get him off

Poor old Jake Humphrys won’t get his FA Cup upset tonight #BTSport#THFC

Could the fast fingered notifier at @SkySports please slow down because I get the notification about 15 seconds faster than the @btsport feed. #COYS #TRATOT

McManaman is awful. Talks 💩💩. So bias #btsport #CHAMPIONSLEAGUE

Sorry but criticism when due why is it that every time I want to watch @btsport when I am away from home there is always some sort of issue! Always some sort of fault code I need to remember and always an issue. It is just not good ebough @bt_uk

Bloody hell @btsport the free kick shouldn’t have been awarded coz Martial dived never mind having a player offside. #manutdarsenal

The @btsport commentary on @RangersFC v @JamTarts is awful. Rob McLean is horrendous

Here @BTCare @bt_uk @btbusinesscare doing what they do best! As they cannot solve the problem or answer to the customer (me) they prefer to disappear!!! Great behaviour 👍🏻

@BTCare We now have a guy called Joseph dealing with it Emmett. I have emailed him a minute ago to follow things up. I am appalled at how bad your service is - perhaps if you supply me an email address I will forward you the details

The @btsport commentators couldn't be anymore biased towards Liverpool if they were wearing replica kits and singing You'll Never Walk Alone. #ARSLIV

@BTCare Disgusting service from BT. #noloyaltytoyourcustomers

Well #BT @BTCare we now have no internet at all even when our hub shows blue the speed and signal is so weak we cannot do anything. It’s outrageous that we have to go out to get a bit of wi-fi.

@bt_uk @BTCare All very well you launching Plus, our BT wi-fi broke on 14/09/18 and you STILL cannot fix it 😡get your existing products up and running before you launch extras.

@btsport has to be said @chris_sutton73 is an absolutely awful commentator as well as a pundit. How this guy knicks a wage is beyond me. His football knowledge is shocking. He makes @RobbieSavage8 look clever

@BTCare The point is that we have been talking to your teams & the service has been bad. Maybe use your initiative by offering support & compensation on the phone to these people.

What did @tonyfernandes say? **** sake BTSport #ufc229 #TonyFerguson #pettis sound kept cutting out

Anyone else having an issue with @btsport forcing you to buy their landline to watch the fight later? Just want PPV

It's one of the most iconic football shirts of all time. The #7 shirt for #ManUtd. #GeorgeBest #BryanRobson #DavidBeckham #CristianoRonaldo #EricCantona ..etc..etc but #AlexSanchez must be the worst of the lot. #MUNVAL #CHAMPIONSLEAGUE #BTSport

@BTCare Lucky you. I must get a job with BT to get all that time to call BT customer service. Unfortunately, as a customer, I don't have so much time to enjoy your playlist

It’s now 2 weeks to the day our wi-fi went down and we still only have intermittent wi-fi. Even when it’s on only max speed of 34. Very poor, waiting on a filter to arrive , just hope this fixes it #BT @BTCare

@ElevenSports_UK @UFCEurope Good stuff. Only ever had @btsport for the UFC. So now I can finally cancel BT.

@BTCare Any issues in the W1D London area with Broadband? No connection here?

@BTCare is it possible to have a consistent broadband service that doesn’t drop in and out regularly?

Well we were thrilled to get our wi-fi up and running on Friday but alas it just will not connect to our Samsung tv. Despite all the resolutions given by @BTCare the issue seems unsolvable. BT forums suggest Samsung TVs do not connect to hub 6

@BTCare If we could get some idea of when it would help. You do not seem to understand just how important the internet is for us.

@BTCare I tried but after a 15 minutes nothing was happening. Your shit service has been more than shocking. If you treat a new customer like this who is still within the 14-day cooling off period I dread to think how you treat those who are stuck in a contract.

.@BTCare spoken to two different advisors. One said my broadband should be working now (it isn’t), the other said it won’t be working until Sept 22 which means I’ll be without broadband for five days. I was originally told 24 hours. Advisors clearly make things up. Shitty service

I think when I joked we would be lucky to have internet by Christmas, it was not such a joke after all. They say they will try to fix by this Friday. Why do I have no confidence this will actually happen? @BTCare

@FlyMax1 @BTCare It’s been shit. I was told 24 hours now 24 hours later I’m told they don’t have a Scooby of when it will be fixed. That’s unacceptable

@BTCare is there a problem at the Welwyn Garden City exchange? BTinternet keeps dropping out and is very slow. My business broadband account over a separate BT Phone line is even slower.

@BTCare I have recently had trouble with my Internet connections. So I have repeatedly been onto your site for help. Today an engineer came around to repair my connection and he left about 30 mins ago claiming the problem was solved. It has not been and my connection is 1/?

@BTCare What's going on in Tottenham? My internet has been slow for a good couple of weeks now. Or worse it doesn't connect. Need a solution fast!

@bt_uk sort your shit out

@bt_uk I did, I have contacted your consumer help god knows how many times but I get the same crap. Your equipment is trash, and your upload speeds are a joke!

@HannahB4LiviMP @bt_uk It’s all about the money for @bt_uk . Personally got shocking treatment from them when I tried to get phone/tv from them. Long story but suffice to say they don’t give a shit as long as 💰 comes their way.

@btsport You admitted your wrongness. Stephanie admitted as much as. Best you lot **** off and die. @Humberbeat Cops, they said they were wrong.

@bt_uk Well I guess I’m going to bed now. Deeply unsatisfied customer.

@bt_uk might just be the worst wifi provider I have ever had! Every time it rains or there’s a strong gust of wind it cuts the wifi! Stupid design, absolutely ****. Currently wouldn’t recommend!

@NicDakinMP Please thank whomever it was from your office, that gave me her phone number recently. I know your heart's in the right place. Doesn't really help me, mind you. @Scun_Samaritans Still, I'm okay, at the moment. @btsport

@bt_uk Well this looked like promising customer service with a prompt reply but nothing for over 2 hrs makes it pretty unhelpful in fact. Also, problem persists.

@btsport Terrible advert. And new logo is an embarrassment.

@bt_uk is the broadband not working. Can’t connect have restarted several times
