    Hi @BT_UK - my email (BT Yahoo) webpage has updated but lost all of my mailing lists. Could you please help me recover them?

  • KaraWillow
    Kara Godfrey (@KaraWillow) reported from Lambeth, England

    @bt_uk we have now been without internet for a week and just had the rudest customer service advisor essentially say there was nothing you can do. This is appalling service, what do you suggest we do?

    @benlewismedia @btsport I've never met a man to rely so heavily on an Interview Wing 🤣

    @bt_uk please fix your PS5 app! Doesn’t let me watch live sport with constant buffering or crashing. Works fine on other devices, just not PS5.

    @BT_uk @BTCare @BTGroup What is happening with BT Broadband internet over the past week, why does it keep cutting off, is there a problem in the Newham, London area? #bt #broadbandissues #fixconnection

    @bt_uk please can you do something about the sheer amount of spam callers we’re getting. 3-4 a day to my mother who has dementia. Already called 150 and they can’t/won’t help

    @bt_uk is there a problem with WiFi? I can’t connect. Tried trouble shooting but nothing other than a solid orange light.

  • dpmunn19
    daniel munn (@dpmunn19) reported from Aveley, England

    I am so gutted I can’t watch @WestHam all thanks to @btsport and @EE when I pay £15 a month for a service and now I can not log in because my BT ID no longer works and get told I have to wait 72 hours for it to be sorted. Absolute Joke. 😡😡😡😡

  • VentersGaming
    David Venters (@VentersGaming) reported from Croydon, England

    really really annoyed with bt there playing with my line again without telling me there doing anything im trying to upload a video to youtube @bt_uk im lookingf to leave bt after 12 yrs this is getting so bad , what would fix this is a 5 min tweet

  • JTyrrell_
    Joe Tyrrell (@JTyrrell_) reported from Lambeth, England

    @bt_uk It would help if you enabled being able to stream the coverage from a mobile device onto a tv via Chromecast or similar. I don’t have access to another device other than a mobile and I’m sure you can appreciate watching on a mobile isn’t ideal.

    @vmfieldtech @CraigHarper0105 @btsport Don’t go there Craig - I’m with them and it’s terrible. Utilisation issues in my area for over 6 months that they keep promising to fix with dates continually moving.

  • BrixtonBobbyBob
    Christiana 🕷Activist Lawyer (@BrixtonBobbyBob) reported from Lambeth, England

    @bt_uk @holland_tom I’ve been given the same text … I spoke to a BT customer person who said it would be back on at 16:00. It’s not back on..

  • edwardwoodhouse
    Edward Woodhouse (@edwardwoodhouse) reported from Poplar, England

    @bt_uk we were told our wifi would go live today. It hasn’t. We were also given a mini hub which doesn’t work. Please can you help us sort this?

  • VentersGaming
    David Venters (@VentersGaming) reported from Croydon, England

    @bt_uk someone from open reach came did lots tests turned out that the fibre optic cable as near to breaking so packet pingback signal was degrading

  • robholley
    Rob Holley (@robholley) reported from Camberwell, England

    @ladyjazmana That’s what I’m doing with BT. Was so tired of the slow speeds/no Internet and paying £55 for the privilege plus a land line (??) and BTSport (!!)

  • JanetEBaldwin
    Janet E Baldwin 🌸 (@JanetEBaldwin) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @fiftyminus2 @Tobyamori2011 I had a similar problem with my elderly Dad’s phone. I had to take to Twitter. To be fair @BTCare we’re very helpful.

  • LordMontyofWall
    Phil Simon (@LordMontyofWall) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @bt_uk I get bad reception problems on BBC 4 and BBC News channels in the evening, both of which I use a lot. I have rebooted box, checked all my leads. Signal quality/strength is fine in mornings but in evening quality is 10% or less and pic and sound cut out.

  • MarkPaton84
    Paton (@MarkPaton84) reported from Lambeth, England

    For gods sake @bt_uk not only has my extortionate bt broadband been down for most of the day but I’ve now been on hold for almost 40 minutes for the 3rd call I’ve made today. Shite.

    @bt_uk Hi - sorry, I mean the internet connection has been down all day, so we have been cash only in our store all day .. hopefully it back in tomorrow

  • chinleyman
    gary tordoff (@chinleyman) reported

    @bt_uk no internet AGAIN what is going on. Its nearly every day now, what are we paying for. Costing me to use my mobile data (Tesco) at least I can rely on that. How do I claim for the data I’m using and also a refund for not getting the broadband service I’m paying for?

  • sundaygirl851
    Claire🌹 (@sundaygirl851) reported

    @bt_uk I know but he's put off by getting nowhere recently and i am not at home with him. What else could be a problem? He has tried putting new bt SIM in and turning phone on/off but no joy.

  • OwenJBlanche

    @bt_uk sort your Internet out been crap for over a week in our place

  • TabletScience
    Tablet Science (@TabletScience) reported

    @bt_uk I can't get access to my btinternet email account and there is absolutely no way to contact BT. Every way they give to contact them doesn't work. Can't phone, can't text, can't email. How can I force BT to pay attention? Offer to buy something from them?

  • jonbarnes10
    Jon Barnes (@jonbarnes10) reported

    @bt_uk you app, your website and your twitter account is useless. Dont bother having a twitter account if your answer to “my app is not allowing me to make purchases” is to download the app is the epitome of your customer service

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported

    @bt_uk my mum is a vulnerable customer and had a new connection on the 1st July and it’s never worked. An engineer was due on the 8th, 14th and today I’ve now been told it’s the 15th and she isn’t able to make it. Every-time I call I have to repeat the same tale. Help.

  • bean0509
    Justine (@bean0509) reported

    Customer service really is everything. @bt_uk has the best customer service in the country in my opinion and I’ve spoken to a lot of companies. I’d rather have someone helpful to talk to than have 42 extra club card points a month.

  • Bubbler_Ranx
    Lou Skunt (@Bubbler_Ranx) reported

    @bt_uk just got a text that my phone bill is ready but I still can’t log into my account without giving my phone number. We’re getting to the point where I cancel the direct debit. I’m not DMing and I’m not taking time out of my day to call. Why do I need to supply a number?

  • JustClembo
    Justine Clement (@JustClembo) reported

    @bt_uk They’ve spent hours and hours doing that and even your team say it’s a complete mess and a shambles. It’s a disgrace, being the worst, most stressful aspect of moving house. How can you be proud of that as a business and service?
