  • NorthGwentBlue LeftofCentre (@NorthGwentBlue) reported from Argoed, Wales

    @bt_uk Hey why are you trying to renege AGAIN on a refer a friend voucher? Every time I refer someone you try the same trick to say it was ordered outside of the referall link, you cancelled the appt 3 times! I will not accept this treatment again. Your customer service is awful

  • julianevans11 Julian Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@julianevans11) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk How about you just provide the service we’re paying for…

  • jaisullivan Jai Sullivan (@jaisullivan) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MicrosoftHelps Hi, it was bought via @BTCare on 19/10/2020. The model is 1679 and it’s definitely not as a result of any settings issue. It’s a physical problem with the device.

  • Dai_ssrs Dai Williams (@Dai_ssrs) reported from Pontypool, Wales

    Did Liverpool have problems at centre back last season? Because I don’t think @btsport have mentioned it yet

  • Gavinallen Gavin Allen (@Gavinallen) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport make it as hard as possible to leave. No way to cancel via the app, live chatbot says it can’t perform that function. BT person on phone says I have to call my bank to put a bar on the DD they set up. How does a company with service this bad have any customers?

  • Smilers_Coffee Rich M (@Smilers_Coffee) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    @btbusinesscare Bt business 0800800156 they said they would call back if the line got disconnected. No call back was received. I'd like to cancel the service please as I was hoping to postpone the installation but after a disappointing experience would prefer not to continue with it

  • johnsey80 Steve Johns (@johnsey80) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I'm not a @bt_uk customer but spoke to Payel via their chat service today to help my sister out. Above and beyond customer service, a credit to the company. Thank you Payel & BT

  • Smilers_Coffee Rich M (@Smilers_Coffee) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    @btbusinesscare Just messaged but I would still like to cancel at this point

  • SamSmithHiggins Sam Smith-Higgins (@SamSmithHiggins) reported from Pontnewydd, Wales

    @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk over to you. Can you put in writing what the problem is please? You refused yesterday. @OpenreachHelp are listening and want to help.

  • BigBernie4 Greg (Big Bernie) MW7BUF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇵🇸 (@BigBernie4) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @bt_uk no service all afternoon in the NP19 7LT area. Checked the status page, no known issues apparently. Tried to speak with an advisor, and there are none available. What's happening please?

  • SamSmithHiggins Sam Smith-Higgins (@SamSmithHiggins) reported from Henllys, Wales

    Shocking service from @bt_uk - no phone or internet for a week! Vulnerable adult here and nobody cares! welfare - ref C37677360 - only comms I'm getting is from Dave at @OpenreachHelp ! Sort it out BT!

  • RedhillsAnnie Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Sean4Llandaff @cardiffcouncil There is work happening updating the @bt_uk network on Ely Rd. The newly multi-patched surfaces are now uneven trip hazards. In France councils coordinate with utilities, so that the paths are not lifted and patched continuously. Can we do better?

  • RebIrvine Rebecca Irvine (@RebIrvine) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk on our 30th cal day with no Internet; BT advisors have stated the fault is with @OpenreachHelp but your Internal systems are not talking to oneanother effectively leaving us with no information on the nature of the problem. The estimated fix date goes up weekly. Ideas?

  • cymruchris Chris Griffiths 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@cymruchris) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @bt_uk I've just released I'm being charged for a sim that I asked to be disconnected months ago. Can you help please?

  • Sammy78avfc Sam 💕🦥💕 (@Sammy78avfc) reported from Ebbw Vale, Wales

    Who are the commentators on BTSport? Absolutely awful

  • MissESilcox MissESilcox (@MissESilcox) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The ref and VAR taking so long to come to a decision has broken @btsport #Victory #ALeague

  • julianevans11 Julian Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@julianevans11) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk If you provided the service I’m paying for I wouldn’t have to use my mobile data. I’m meant to be working from home tonight and tomorrow night. Do you want to tell my boss I can’t because I don’t have sufficient internet access??

  • TMCI73 The Morlais Castle Inn (@TMCI73) reported from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales

    @bt_uk Good morning Your sales rep purposely missold me a residential package for our business I have had £300 taken from my account for a service you haven’t installed yet, I have been calling your service for 2 weeks everyday and no one is able to give me my money?

  • TheExiledRobin The Exiled Robin (@TheExiledRobin) reported from Llantrisant, Wales

    If it wasn’t bad enough watching this it’s made so much worse with this TV coverage. Please never let BT Sport have cricket again 😩 @btsport #ashes @Channel7

  • taffyqueen Susan Chennells Sturdy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺 💙 (@taffyqueen) reported from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales

    @bt_uk is there an issue with full fibre broadband in the south wales area?

BT (British Telecom) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lhasadreams Adrian Daniels (@Lhasadreams) reported

    @bt_uk putting your fibre broadband prices up only has one effect, a move back to Sky. You have no idea as to how to retain your customers, especially ones that pay for your premium level products. At the very least there should not be any in contract price rises. Awful company.

  • Lhasadreams Adrian Daniels (@Lhasadreams) reported

    @bt_uk Too late, clearly BT do not value me as a customer. You will get your extra £60 to January and then I will just move. I think you will find there are a lot of customers who will feel the same, good luck retaining them.

  • RimmerMitch Mitch Rimmer (@RimmerMitch) reported

    If you have a problem, don’t worry @bt_uk will only reply to you if they have an answer you want to hear

  • SteveODonnell5 Steveo (@SteveODonnell5) reported

    @bt_uk where is my engineer? Hello, BT here. We're sending you an engineer on Thursday 03/03/2022 between 8am and 1pm. If you don't need the appointment anymore please text back 'CANCEL' or you can change your fault here #poorservice

  • PaulGreenTPB Paul Green. (@PaulGreenTPB) reported

    Email from @bt_uk telling me the price is going up, by the maximum possible of course. But you can explore other deals we can offer you, click here. Sign in, Sorry we can't show you any deals at the moment. Don't know why I bother 😒

  • _Marty_ Martin Cubberley (@_Marty_) reported

    @bt_uk Can you please tell me why the promised fix by yesterday hasn't happened, the promised call today hasn't happened, and why my call to you was cut off after 15 minutes on hold? This service is beyond disgraceful, and a £16 rebate doesn't come close to the time I've wasted

  • Eloditje Elodie (@Eloditje) reported

    @btbusinesscare @WeAreOpenreach tired of your incompetence! Been out of internet since Feb.18th due to a fallen tree. Engineers working on the road last week, issue supposed to be fixed last Friday, then last Monday. Still no internet. Today, engineer no show!

  • Greenskeeper18 🇺🇦 𝔾𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡𝕖𝕣𝔾𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕘 (@Greenskeeper18) reported

    @TheRunningManZ @bt_uk Good to hear it's been sorted out. It's a disgusting travesty to see how many of our seniors are legitimately ripped off and taken advantage of. Had the same kind of scenario going on when my grandfather past. Took months to get a couple companies to kick bricks. Capitalism sucks

  • juliethomas994 Julie 💙#GTTO #NHSPay15 (@juliethomas994) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve got LPA for my mum and she’s been receiving a lot of scam phone calls. Can you help me block the calls

  • dr_phil_ok Phil (@dr_phil_ok) reported

    @btbusinesscare Hello Glasgow. The service I have had from BT for the past week or so has not been great. The past 24 hours has plumbed new depths. Cut off my buisness BB and the back up with no notice due to a clerical error and unable to re-instate. "Computer says 'no'" is the response.
