  • vickyclarke76 vicky clarke (@vickyclarke76) reported from Mortimer Common, England

    @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?

  • Cranstead John Allen 🇬🇧🇿🇼 (@Cranstead) reported from Wokingham, England

    NU v CFC BTSport- terrible commentary as per usual. The secret is to keep it simple and not continually talk bollocks....

  • HartTrippy John Tripp (@HartTrippy) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk do you have issues with email spam filters? Inbox full of rubbish 😐

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @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?

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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? :)

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Westofcenter Andy West (@Westofcenter) reported from Lower Shiplake, England

    .@bt_uk are you aware of situations today where scamming calls cause Broadband to go down? Have received two today and both times, caused loss of connection.

    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

  • 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

  • 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? 🤔

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

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

    @crochetjenny @bt_uk Customer service all but disappeared during Covid last year...but it is cut completley now although we are almost out of restrictions

  • sspriggy Simon Spriggs (@sspriggy) reported

    @bt_uk how do you expect a pensioner to have to change 1. their homehub plus 2 connect old landline phones to the new “digital voice” service, with very little warning.. This hasn’t been thought through at all and potentially will leave my mum without a phone. Really poor guys.

  • Deborah75358336 Deborah Clarke (@Deborah75358336) reported

    @bt_uk how do I check on any local outages, we have had nothing but problems with our sky internet for which you provide the fibre line for it. I must say that it is a complete pile of utter c%&p. I have been in contact with sky who have escalated it to yourselves once again
