@bt_uk no service all afternoon in the NP19 7LT area. Checked the status page, no known issues apparently. Tried to speak with an advisor, and there are none available. What's happening please?

@btsport @btsportfootball what I would change in football. Cancel injury time and adopt rugby rules. Clock stops at half time and fulltime and whistle blows when ball out of play.

@bt_uk No known issue. Since there was BT van outside my home doing some sort of upgrade on the copper wires of the area. Internet been very poor. Already replaced router twice. When gaming on PC with ethernet cable plug in and someone makes a WhatsApp call my ping spikes to 500ms!

@bt_uk not happy that my broadband upload speed has dropped by nearly 70%... As a key factor to paying for the service, this is unacceptable! 👎

@bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service to my mum who had shielded since March 2020! She can't use BT sports anymore and BT are saying £130+ to remove it!! She doesn't have any money! She is stressed, immune compromised and BT drop this on her! Shameful!

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

@bt_uk having trouble with our home broadband. Have followed your advice on texting a number, but no reply & still the same. Also, can't access own account either, even after pin number for resetting password. Can you please assist? Is there any phone number I can ring? Thanks.

@Sean4Llandaff @cardiffcouncil There is work happening updating the @bt_uk network on Ely Rd. The newly multi-patched surfaces are now uneven trip hazards. In France councils coordinate with utilities, so that the paths are not lifted and patched continuously. Can we do better?

@bt_uk Hey there! No it’s still not working 🥺 however, I’m moving out of my house tomorrow and Into my new one. I’ve already spoke to an advisor about this a few weeks back but I’m not sure what to do? There’s no point ringing for an engineer when I’m moving. Shall we DM?

@btsport make it as hard as possible to leave. No way to cancel via the app, live chatbot says it can’t perform that function. BT person on phone says I have to call my bank to put a bar on the DD they set up. How does a company with service this bad have any customers?

@MicrosoftHelps Hi, it was bought via @BTCare on 19/10/2020. The model is 1679 and it’s definitely not as a result of any settings issue. It’s a physical problem with the device.

@bt_uk @BTCare If we have a power outage. I need to be able to make calls. If our heating goes off I need to make alternative arrangements for my mother in law accommodation or call engineers. My mobile signal is not reliable. Yes. It works some times. But I need a land line for peace of mind

@bt_uk all our devices in our house have been booted off our WiFi network and when we try to reconnect on all devices it say incorrect password we have also tried forgetting network and reconnecting and this fail any idea what is going on

(@Maxwell_Barnish) reported
To let people know, @bt_uk have emailed me (and many others?) saying that soon phone will move to 'digital voice' i.e. internet based phone system. The crucial issue is that they admit calls including to 999 will not work if there is a power cut. This is surely really unsafe.

@bt_uk Good evening. My Internet has been down for 4 hours and I urgently need it for meetings tomorrow from Noon (UK time). Please can you advise what the fault is? From Google, that looks to be the case. I don't think there's an issue at my end as everything else is working.

Nice to know that @bt_uk cannot offer any technical support whatsoever for hotspot users who are not also BT customers. Avoid the service if you need to access the internet without continuous faults and no recourse for customer support or even complaints
