    @bt_uk I have been really disappointed with your service so and have only been with you since December last year. Nothing is ever dealt with when I contact your team! Please can you sort it out?

  • JohnGubba

    @bt_uk after 28 years I’ve had to leave #BT for business because of your poor service. Now I’m looking at transfering my personal BT account. Unless you deal with my complaints and do something you have lost another customer

    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from High Wycombe, England

    The exchange in Beaconsfield has just fallen over, landlines and broadband down. Anyone from @btbusinesscare online who can get someone on the case. Has taken out most of the businesses in the area including their card processing capabilities? Thanks. #bthelp @OpenreachHelp

    @BritishTelecom your service has become crap after #ReadingFestival has started. Stop stealing my data and streaming #pissedoff @btsport because there’s no actual #bt trying to watch a film and constant interruptions

  • IanArnell
    Ian Arnell (@IanArnell) reported from Camberley, England

    @bt_uk As a new customer I have been the model of patience that is now growing thin. I did the honourable thing over 5 hours ago and sent you a DM. I am still waiting for an answer. Please no, I know you are busy. @Ofcom

  • floralclaire
    floralclaire (@floralclaire) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk please help my 80+ year old parents. Without phone or internet for 2 weeks since fibre works broke line. No one can/is fixing. They are desperate. Mobile only works in garden! Dunkirt Lane, Abbotts Ann. Please help!

  • Sharonkuhl
    Sharon Ducker (was Kuhl) (@Sharonkuhl) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk I am amazed that you are still in business, your appalling customer service leaving my parents with no home phone, broadband that is not great, missed engineer appointments and on the wrong tariff and this is on going since OCTOBER, & she still pays u #eldery #vunerable

    @bt_uk Any idea when this Broadband outage will be fixed? It’s been over 24 hours now #Marlow

    Get rid of Martin Keown on co-commentary. He’s talks so much shit. #btsport

  • CllrHelenTaylor
    Cllr Helen Taylor (@CllrHelenTaylor) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @bt_uk Thank you but sadly your information seems incorrect as I can categorically tell you it drops several times a day. My husband works from home so it is noticed each time and it always goes down in the evening.

  • SuperScienceGrl
    ⌬Nessa Carson (@SuperScienceGrl) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk Hello! I've had a problem: for a year (between first 2 speed tests), my broadband speed was much lower than advertised. I just did another: ok but still seems lower? An engineer confirmed & said I should claim money back for the year & ongoing if still happening.

    Good work @btsport if ever you were going to have technical issues, save them for w penalty shoot out in a cup final 🙈

  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

    @chris_sutton73 @BBCSportScot got shut down at the presser pressing BR about @LCFV post. Its like they want to stop #10 in a row too @btsport

  • SuperScienceGrl
    ⌬Nessa Carson (@SuperScienceGrl) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk Hello! 👋 Apologies this may be a silly query, but I did the auto-fault reporting thing 2 days ago, and it kept alternating between saying it was ok and saying it wasn't, so I just want to check that the slow broadband connection actually did get reported properly? Thanks!

  • PF_BootCamp
    James Parker (@PF_BootCamp) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk @KeoghanB @btsport Too late i was forced to watch a crap re run on YouTube today... obviously knowing the result. Absolutely zero help after many hours repeating my self on chat support, here and email. There is clearly a problem and nothing was done. I’ve screen shot convos to take this higher

  • floralclaire
    floralclaire (@floralclaire) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk My parents live in Abbotts Ann. They have been without phone and internet 2 WEEKS after roadworks. Who was responsible. Who can fix it? They are desperate now. @OpenreachHelp and @bt_uk haven’t fixed it. A disgrace!

    @bt_uk That doesn’t work @bt_uk 0330 1234 150 just directs to a txt service. What buttons do I press to speak with someone? I mean to apeak with a real live human being? Is there any way at all to get through to something called a person?

    @bt_uk now got rid of the voicemail but the line crackle is bad. Cables look sound. It’s been like this four days she says.

    @bt_uk I've never set foot in Cyprus, I just used a free service on the internet that gives you free access to texts for random numbers all over the world. And it worked.

    @GrahamH36921247 @bt_uk We’re the same here, we don’t have the full fibre broadband though. Our landline is out again, it has the old copper wiring. A technician is scheduled to fix it today. Out for 3 weeks.

    @bt_uk Your email security is blocking access to the mail server as it suspects the network I’m on… works sometimes, then stops, change network and it’s a lottery if it works or not… I’ve setup a forward to gmail

  • GraemeDavis
    Graeme Davis (@GraemeDavis) reported

    i’m trying and failing to report a broadband problem to @bt_uk - online is an endless loop to linecheck (fault found), chat message won’t open, phone sends to txt not a person, txt is a very long wait on a charged-for line. How does anyone ever contact BT?

  • CmucG
    Chris McGregor (@CmucG) reported

    @bt_uk is this one of your numbers 01438382072. Since deciding to cancel my services with you today this number has called me 5 times. It is harassment. You had your chance to keep me when I called to say I had a better offer elsewhere. Your offer was rubbish and refused.
