  • RobPercyPhoto Rob Percy (@RobPercyPhoto) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @John_McKee @bt_uk Hi John did you get anywhere with @bt_uk ? I’ve got exactly the same issue no activation until April but sold #hybridconnect as a short term fix before activation. But now I’m staring at a white light and blue signal bars.

  • chrisgreen 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

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

    @bt_uk A fix has already been run! I would like to claim for these historical issues separately to trying to fix any persisting ones. Otherwise I'm thinking I might not ever be compensated :) fix already done!

  • jwedwards1 John Edwards (@jwedwards1) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

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

  • shaz_perry Sharon Perry Art (@shaz_perry) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk engineer booked for this morning between 8 and 1 to fix slow connection yet hasn't shown up.

  • pinners888 Pinners (@pinners888) reported from Wokingham, England

    @btsport what’s going on. Why can’t I watch PSG game yet have to listen to pundits banging on about the Chelsea performance. WTF!

  • JR_1871 Jonathan Richards (@JR_1871) reported from Reading, England

    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’?

  • 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!

  • BethcWillard Beth Willard (@BethcWillard) reported from Reading, England

    @_hypocaust Having the same issue with @btsport No coverage even though scheduled 😠

  • Highlowmilo1 Highlowmilo (@Highlowmilo1) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk Except for Mother in Law. 90 with dementia emergency careline reliant. Phone vital to contact family. Cut off as bill not paid due to error. No communication of any sort before this action taken. Good job nothing really bad happened.!!. Come on BT sort you act out.

  • fiddler_mike mikef (@fiddler_mike) reported from Kingsclere, England

    @bt_uk is there a problem with the BT email service at the moment? Cheers

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!

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

    @bt_uk What a joke! 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 and contractors haven’t fixed it. A disgrace! They are in 80s

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

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

    @bt_uk Hello! I'm a bit concerned that you guys couldn't see a fault on my line any more a couple of days ago, as I've an engineer coming. It really is slow, but it won't even let me do BT speed test bcs a fault is reported. Can I check whether you think there's still a fault? :)

  • carboncoach Dave Hampton (Standing as Earth) 🌍 (@carboncoach) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @bt_uk internet is currently down in my area TA10 any clues as to why?

  • sabrunsmiles Sabrina Pace-Humphreys (@sabrunsmiles) reported

    Has anyone local - #stroud - been having major issues with @bt_uk broadband over the past few days?! Can’t seem to get through to anyone about it either….

  • mellis737 Michael Ellis (@mellis737) reported

    @bt_uk You cannot even tell us what work still needs to be done to accomplish this!! It’s awful and you have no idea if the impact this has along with extra costs we incur because we don’t have a decent Wi-Fi network. I’m so bloody angry…

  • floggerlaura Laura (@floggerlaura) reported

    @bt_uk Internet connection keeps dropping intermittently plus a landlines problem. Nothing showing as an issue in area. Trued online diagnostics and it just kept asking the same questions. Can you help please?

  • Rossva1189 Ross (@Rossva1189) reported

    @bt_uk I have read all this. The point is you are making me pay 7.50 a month for IMAP enabled email, whereas a) I’ve been a customer for 20+ years and b) many providers offer this for free. It’s daylight robbery and you do it to try persuade people not to leave you

  • scienceboy7 andrew rawstron (@scienceboy7) reported

    If anyone’s having issues with #BTmail on Apple or other email clients, check if you’ve set up 2FA in BT. I think it’s stopping 3P clients from working correctly. The guy I spoke to from @bt_uk yesterday told me it wouldn’t but, the proof of the pudding… Views?

  • benchandler93 Ben Chandler (@benchandler93) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, we need a broadband issue addressed due to fale sale information from BT staff. On the 2nd June a BT salesperson knocked on our door and tested our internet speed and told us the internet speed was below our contracted level.

  • duffy1972 Stuart Duff (@duffy1972) reported

    @farmerThomo Ironically @bt_uk owns @EE and have never offered a package deal

  • manorfarmshopuk Manor Farm Shop (@manorfarmshopuk) reported

    I take it back @BTCare are not the worst for customer service, this award goes to @WeAreOpenreach To be honest not much in it but open reach just beat BT by a whisker
