    @bt_uk No we were calling to cancel but had a billing issue first. Seeing as we were cut off we have no idea if the cancellation has been actioned or not?

    @BTCare my 85 year old elderly gran has a very old master socket pre NTE5 which has been positioned awkwardly near the ceiling. She cannot get to the room where it is very quickly anymore, and because it is pre NTE5 we cannot run a extension either. Can you help please.

    Just lost my @bt_uk broadband - and they are saying it could be days before it’s repaired. I work from home. Disgraceful service. If I was days late with my payment they’d be all over me. If you’re with BT be warned. Apparently it’s due to us being in the ‘run up to Christmas’?

    @btsportmotogp @btsport do@you realise the level of disappointment & frustration you’ve introduced to my household this weekend by totally c***ing up the coverage? Worst part as I understand it - my husband can no longer record everything he wants to see as it’s on red button 😩

  • Easters86

    @bt_uk Is broadband down in OX11 postcode area?

    I hope #Lloris hasn’t broken anything, especially his elbow. Speaking from experience, 18 months later mine still not right ! #Brighton #Tottenham @btsport

    @bt_uk 2/2 My security cameras are down, my kids can’t do their homework, very dissatisfied

  • heathercaudle
    Heather Caudle RN (@heathercaudle) reported from Camberley, England

    @bt_uk hello, ironically, I could not complete my online chat about my broadband and Wifi because my connection is very very bad. Please can I speak to a human.

  • 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

    David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @PhelanHill @bt_uk @virginmedia If it works it's brilliant but if it doesn't @virginmedia 's Customer Service is woeful in my experience (and @GBRChris_A 's) Currently even with all the people working at home it is good @ 200 Mbps !

  • Tsar_Nicholas
    Nicholas Mazzei (@Tsar_Nicholas) reported from Hook, England

    @pmalinski83 @SkySports @SkySportsPL @bt_uk I get why they avoid it, having been in the BT corporate affairs team until recently and wanting them for ages to take a stronger stand on these issues. It’s risky. But these companies have power and if they want to do something about it, here’s their chance

  • _gavinjones
    Gavin Jones (@_gavinjones) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @bt_uk 1/2 didn’t get a call but a text instead, now due to be fixed on the 7th February. Not only is my phone line down so is the broadband

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

    @bt_uk yet another epic fail. 34 minute call, transferred 3 times to the incorrect department, then cut off by the correct department dead on 9pm (home time) and you wonder why we want to cancel? 🤔

  • Caoimhe88Byrne
    caoimhe byrne-hansen (@Caoimhe88Byrne) reported from Reading, England

    @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

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

    Terrible service @bt_uk - I phone to report a series of scam calls purporting to be from you.... Get through to your nuisance phone calls dept only to have the call terminated.

    Gary Banks (@Banksie_FB5) reported

    Stunningly inept service @bt_uk. 3 wks 2 install full fibre culminating in them saying my router’s incompatible & they’ll send a new1 promising arrival Mon. Mail just recd; it’ll arrive Weds & seems 2b the same as I have! Meanwhile I’m w/out internet & paying 4 the privilege.

  • Gizmo83508413
    Gizmo (@Gizmo83508413) reported

    @bt_uk Done that already. I might be going mad here. It's your sodding website. It shouldn't be down to me to chase a fix ETA on a fundamental problem you have. This should be information on the website and with you, surely?

  • MattHopkins1620
    MattHopkins1620 (@MattHopkins1620) reported

    @bt_uk are committed to excellent customer service, they say so when you ring them. Then they say they're very busy and they promise to speak to you within 20 minutes or you could ring back. Hint, excellent customer service starts with answering the bloody phone.

  • simboman
    Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported

    @stokeygurl @bt_uk Sadly, BT are fobbing you off. This is a known issue and clearing your cache won't work. If it does by all means come back and update us. I've calIed 150 several times now about this issue and no resolution. I have asked for a paper bill and 7 days on and I'm still waiting.

  • philltea
    PT (@philltea) reported

    Dad's just retired from @bt_uk due to ill health 38 years service. Not a single thank you, good luck or all the best Nothing at all Zero communication regarding help or advice getting his pension sorted and organised Just a random DPD driver turned up for his laptop Shambles

  • TruTruThinks
    Tru Benjamin (@TruTruThinks) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness appalling breach of service. 4 dates have now passed where we were told broadband would be fixed. BT seem to think this is acceptable as 'it's subject to change' How are we supposed to run a business with no comms!! 4 weeks & counting

  • ems7
    ems7 (@ems7) reported

    @bt_uk how can I contact your complaints department? I have had two missed calls from them. The number on your complaints page won’t put me through. Live chat can’t help. I’ve already escalated the complaint.

  • Twoostep22
    Ma$joe (@Twoostep22) reported

    @bt_uk you are truly the worst company for customer service.

  • Staggly
    Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported

    @bt_uk @arthur_mp after an hour on hold they said they had an issue and would fix in 72 hours - it’s been a week and now they aren’t answering

  • Felipe_Grey95
    Philip Aggrey (@Felipe_Grey95) reported

    Hello @bt_uk and @skyuk your service really sucks. Why is it taking 30 mins to download ‘Prisoner’ when I have Halo 3 that I am paying loads of money for each month? You are pathetic 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
