  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk Well, it looks like I’m getting a new account set up. No idea why as I have correspondence to the new address about my move. As long as I don’t lose service.

  • MrsW64242123 @MrsW (@MrsW64242123) reported from Penwortham, England

    @bt_uk hi any indication when customer access to br email will be restored?

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi. I moved home and had my services transferred. No problem. Today I have received an email saying I will be charged for ending the contract early and received another email about returning kit?

  • YorkLassinLancs Yorkshire Lass (@YorkLassinLancs) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @bt_uk I have had a complaint in about my below performance broadband since Oct. it’s an insult that your current advert promises so much when I can’t get what I am paying for now. How do I get one person’s contact details to get this resolved??

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi, I’ve had an ongoing issue with a home move since last week. Apparently it’s being dealt with - this morning I’ve just received an email asking if I want the move cancelled. I don’t. I’m in the property. I’ve been messaging about this for some days now.

  • samihowarth sami (@samihowarth) reported from Brinscall, England

    @bt_uk Not very helpful as that’s for broadband and phone line. I have no signal on my mobile phone?

  • MikeNolan Michael Nolan (@MikeNolan) reported from Burscough, England

    Ordered @bt_uk broadband at the start of December with an installation date of 11 January. Not great but understandable in current circumstances. Just had text message saying new activation date is 8 March. Very poor.

  • sgx12 Stuart Graham (@sgx12) reported from Longridge, England

    @bt_uk hi, is there an issue accessing subscription internet channels on BT TV. I have VIP package on 2 MyView boxes, both are showing status as connected to internet, however I cannot access any subscription channels (I.e. Now TV, BT Sports) on either box. Help?

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Think @bt_uk and @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp are trolling us now. 12th day with no phone or broadband. Date keeps slipping, now to 6th September. I phone they say they'll be doing it today. Engineer in our cabinet knows nothing. Vans all around area. No fix. Sick. Of. This.

  • MrsW64242123 @MrsW (@MrsW64242123) reported from Penwortham, England

    @BTCare any indication When customer access to email will be restored?

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Hey @bt_uk there is a line fault at my mother in law's in CW7 3 (winsford). Her emergency call button is connected to line. Can you prioritise this fault if possible? Thanks!

  • thewolstencroft Michael Wolstencroft (@thewolstencroft) reported from Southport, England

    Been without broadband for a month, BT complaints team meant to ring today before 14:30 obviously no call. Currently on hold for 15 minutes. Absolute joke of a service @bt_uk

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    4 days without a phoneline or broadband since @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach changed our telegraph pole last week. I realise it is a #FirstWorldProblem but terrible service and communication from a huge Comms company. Also the pole isnt straight!

  • jdnwils Jordan Wilson (@jdnwils) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @btsport going on about Randolph like he's never played football before. Pretty sure he's an international and has bags of premier league experience. @themoderndaygk what do you think?

  • KerryM811 K e r r i (@KerryM811) reported from Horwich, England

    @bt_uk Hi, my internet is running painfully slow - I’ve done a speed test that’s coming back at 32, but I can’t connect on my devices, also whilst watching Netflix/Prime it’s buffering. Could you arrange a booster for me so I can give that a try before finding a new provider?

  • savigar_michael Michael savigar (@savigar_michael) reported from Leyland, England

    @TheRunningManZ @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk I remember when we had them down our street I had internet problem even though iam with plus net .

  • franners82 frances whitehead (@franners82) reported from Garstang, England

    I thinking finding a needle in a haystack would be easier than finding the login page to watch #btsport online @btsportfootball @btsport #impossible #bestkeptsecretever

  • tonyknowles36 Tony Knowles (@tonyknowles36) reported from Blackburn, England

    @jimwilkz @btsport Worst part of it is Glenn McGrath attempting to be nice and gracious when talking about England. Jeez, he was the biggest 'Pommie' basher of them all!

  • BaptistBecker1 Spezza (@BaptistBecker1) reported from Southport, England

    Just seem a few snippets from the @btsport punditry panel after the game last night. Thank **** I was at anfield and not listening to that

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Just been told by @bt_uk that @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp won't be able to fix our fault (caused by them changing telegraph pole) until tomorrow. That'll be 8 days without service. Incredible. #openreach

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IanHailey Ian Hailey (@IanHailey) reported

    @btbusinesscare Seems not a technical issue but a product offering issue. I could switch my physical connection to the residential Full Fibre 900 product and get the 900Mbps. What is preventing BT from offering this level of service even if best effort above Ultra Fast 2 rates to businesses?

  • ScouseBirdBlogs Steph Johnson - 🌹 (@ScouseBirdBlogs) reported

    levels through the roof because I haven’t complained about that and I have to re explain that every day. They then tell me to speak to retentions which I have done HENCE why the complaint is raised. @bt_uk I HATE taking things to Twitter but for the love of god stop being so ****

  • nsummers1234 neil summersgill (@nsummers1234) reported

    @bt_uk Morning. So although I had a problem with my WiFi disc an engineer was sent out this morning but he only deals with connections from the street box to the house. He said engineers are not allowed on the house due to Covid. Not sure how I'm ever going to get the WiFi disc sorted?

  • LookoutPoint2 Lookout Point (@LookoutPoint2) reported

    @nsummers1234 @bt_uk We need to swap engineers. I have the opposite problem.

  • fernlovesmcfly Fern °o° (@fernlovesmcfly) reported

    @ScouseBirdBlogs @bt_uk We had the same problem with them, ended up going with virgin in the end because bt was so shite & they couldn’t deliver, don’t even get me started on their awful customer service 😱

  • maggsweb Chris Maggs (@maggsweb) reported

    @bt_uk Broadband been up and down all morning. Very frustrating when trying to work form home. Then I see BT engineers in the box up the road. Don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it certainly explains the outages.

  • RobThomasComedy Rob Thomas (@RobThomasComedy) reported

    @IAmPhilChapman @ScouseBirdBlogs @bt_uk ****, what's happened there Phil?

  • TimothyDRCarr Tim Carr (@TimothyDRCarr) reported

    @virginmedia it’s an absolutely disgraceful service and they will miss out on a deal because of your lack of customer focus. You have have an opportunity to resolve this or she will go to @bt_uk or @SkyUK

  • kerrieh12 Kerrie (@kerrieh12) reported

    @bt_uk Eng put new line from telecom pole outside to front of house, to an openreach point. Said another engineer due this afternoon to do everything in the house. Then rcvd a txt: Couldn't complete the service activation appt cancelled. New app 20th APRIL (?!?!?)

  • adekop96 adekop96 ☆☆☆☆☆☆ (@adekop96) reported
