  • howiesway Darren (@howiesway) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @BTCare I have received calls 2 days in a row claiming my PC has a malware issue. I have hung up on both calls, I am assuming this is a scam. This seems to be on the increase.

  • amypearson2406 Amy Pearson (@amypearson2406) reported from Gravesend, England

    @bt_uk Hi we have had an issue with our broadband for the last hour and your phone line is closed. It won’t connect we have followed the steps online but nothing. Please advise..

  • Cover4Caravans Richard Burgess (@Cover4Caravans) reported from Billericay, England

    Why am I surprised? Online account with @btsport I can do anything other than cancel my account! At £36 a month we don’t think is good value but they make it so difficult to cancel. Shame the FCA don’t regulate them!

  • jonesy23 lee jones (@jonesy23) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk @BTCare Hi Team. I currently have the fibre 100 package (fibre to home) however I seem to experience severe performance issues when we have 2 laptops running in the apartment. Could you please contact / send a wii fii boaster possibly ?

  • underwaterryan Ryan Offord 🇺🇦 (@underwaterryan) reported

    @bt_uk That went in the bin after over 100 emails to get the service working. OK. Time for me to cancel the direct debit and go elsewhere.

  • welshelf13 Georgina Rowlands (@welshelf13) reported

    @bt_uk Just the live RAW that I seem to have issues with, Smackdown seems to be ok! Get the odd issue with others but when things run over the scheduled time or the channel changes. This time it just didn’t record but previously has said recording failed. Box is connected to the router

  • pjcs Peter John Cowling (@pjcs) reported

    @Dominiclangan @BTCare Hi Dom. Sad to hear you're still experiencing poor customer service from BT. We're BT customers and have good service throughout. Glad that you treat your customers with more respect than your experience with BT. Hope you get somewhere with them soon, or alternative supplier.

  • stewhi disco stew (@stewhi) reported

    @bt_uk hi, my BT Wi-Fi hub has gone down completely. No matter how many times I restart/turn off & on, it isn’t working whatsoever. The power light is constantly on orange with the broadband light flashing red. Ive text the diagnostics bot and its saying the network line is fine?

  • 2WB10 2WB (@2WB10) reported

    @bt_uk It’s not just my opinion no, it’s been the opinion of ofcom on many occasions. And no, I’m dealing with your ELC office but they’re just as useless. I’m quite tempted to screenshot and show some of the replies I’ve had from them. They’re comically bad.

  • bwaysara Beth (@bwaysara) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I signed up for a broadband & phone contract with you but it's only showing broadband in the My Products section on the app. Also saying there's a problem with the incoming calls on my Digital Voice any updates on that?

  • ukbikeskills Tony Doyle ( Jedi ) (@ukbikeskills) reported

    @Dominiclangan @bt_uk I can't even get fibre .I'm only on outskirts of stevenage. Sucks

  • ShahnoorAli シャヌアー (@ShahnoorAli) reported

    @bt_uk what's seems to be the issue with internet being down in the M13 area?

  • 2WB10 2WB (@2WB10) reported

    @bt_uk @Uniteanation No you are not and BT customer service is just naff, god awful, non existent, scripted mundane nonsense it’s like speaking to bots if you can ever actually get to speak to someone.

  • stumbeline1987 Anotherkentishlasd (@stumbeline1987) reported

    If you ever consider using @bt_uk for internet- just don’t. Worst service from any company I’ve ever experienced, they just don’t care and won’t solve any issues. Almost a week without Internet now and they will not help, paying for non existent service #worstcompanyinuk
