  • 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? 🤔

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

    @bt_uk HELLO AGAIN JUST AN UPDATE WITH MY MOTHERS ON-GOING PHONE ISSUE (& YES I AM SHOUTING) her phone was due to be connected in OCTOBER 2019-various errors by YOU means even after an engineer visit yesterday we are no further forward. MY MUM IS 77 & NEEDS HER HOME PHONE #POOR

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Muzzhar Murray Heslin (@Muzzhar) reported from Wokingham, England

    @bt_uk internet going off 10-15 times a day no longer acceptable, especially when you are paying for a premier service, can’t get hold of faults either. Unacceptable!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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? :)

  • 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....

  • 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'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.

  • 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.

  • karlos437 karl matthews (@karlos437) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    Volume on #btsport3 is **** sort it out @bt_uk #Everton #leeds

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

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

  • 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?

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

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

  • Easters86 Ian East (@Easters86) reported from Didcot, England

    @bt_uk Is broadband down in OX11 postcode area?

  • 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

  • jand1987 Jamie Anderson (@jand1987) reported

    @bt_uk No. The online chat was saying it was our fault then finally spoke to a human being and admitted there add an outage and it would be Tuesday at the earliest. We are still without internet and been trying to contact the company but left to wait for over 50 minutes

  • kateycush katican (@kateycush) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk So is the reason I have been unable to get through to you ystdy after waiting in phone queues for over 4hrs is because you’re so busy helping the elderly? I’ve started trying again today. Same story. I pay £66/mth for this appalling level of customer service. Never again.

  • Stevendeeus Steven Darbyshire (@Stevendeeus) reported

    @bt_uk EE have ‘reached out’ and will be trying to resolve the problem today, but there may be resulting billing issues to fix later. Thank you.

  • EdJHurley Ed (@EdJHurley) reported

    @bt_uk Get someone to phone me to help me

  • lewessmith Lewes Smith Solicitors (@lewessmith) reported

    @bt_uk so frustrated with your fault repair service. 3 appointments not kept. Now 4 weeks since problems started - broadband drops out constantly and your pure card doesn’t activate! What am I paying for?

  • JamesLoader16 James Loader (@JamesLoader16) reported

    @bt_uk any chance someone can pick up the phone. I can’t cancel my package online and I just get cut off when I call. I do not want to be charged for extra months!

  • SoundwaveXI Soundwave (@SoundwaveXI) reported

    @hibernoanglais @bt_uk @Hyperoptic I see nothing but negative posts around Hyperoptic and their service, despite offering a really attractive package. Their service area is also tiny. Worth some research.

  • mrdelves mrdelves (@mrdelves) reported

    @bt_uk I did Tasha; but only to confirm that my contract of £46.99 a month for 1mps (sometimes 0.4) is correct; there is no fault (alt. BT engineers say it’s very poor) therefore there is now a £720.34 cancellation fee. As you can see from time of tweet; can’t sleep! @CitizensAdvice

  • LiveseyScott scott livesey (@LiveseyScott) reported

    @bt_uk I know, seems that some of your staff know more than others. I still need an engineer to come out next week. I was told that my broadband should still be working till then, but I am not that optimistic as the number of times it has gone down this year alone.

  • LeeAnneBudd6 Lee-Anne Budd (@LeeAnneBudd6) reported

    @bt_uk @davidoslive We have been down since Sunday evening - we are in shared offices in Minstead so number doesn't register with BT .. tried to login with other office numbers and it doesn't accept it - there is no help at all at the moment and our business is suffering
