    @bt_uk the worst service in the UK. I’m still getting bills for a service I stopped in January. Absolutely shambolic. I stopped being a customer 3 months ago yet here I am on hold to BT. What a joke.

    @bt_uk It was not a missed appointment it was a total failure of communication. Someone could have contacted me so I could have stayed at work. Now I have an unreliable service over a Bank Holiday weekend and another planned appt for next Wednesday.

    @btbusinesscare I moved house in December, you failed to move my Internet so spectacularly that mid January I cancelled the non existing internet. I’ve been sent bills in February & March that I’ve had to phone about. Im just trying to warn other people how bad your service is.

  • PatternThimble
    Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk No. As I've proved all I needed was a new hub. After being a BT customer for 20+ years. I'm looking forward October when my contract finishes. You have a good day.

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

    @bt_uk It wasn't the app, but because I can't get a mobile signal to sign in before it will allow me to use the WIFI, the app just keeps timing out with that error

  • SmarProcurement
    David Hall (@SmarProcurement) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    For me @btsport have taken the mantle from @talkSPORT for the worst cricket coverage. Matt Smith is a good football presenter but is clearly not a cricket follower and the commentary they are using from Fox is terrible. If @bbctms can send their to team to Australia why not BT?

    Shocking service from @bt_uk. No compassion at all from you as a company. Lost my job & my home and now you want to destroy my credit scores. Nearly £500 charges for leaving early. 8 months in to a 24 month contact does not seem fair to me 😥😥

    Rob Graham (ロブ グレハム) (@draggingmeunder) reported

    @kierant @bt_uk Indeed, upload speeds are particularly bad. Home internet speeds are based on the idea of downloads, and so bandwidth is split accordingly, not seen any mention of changes to accommodate for people working from home etc these days.

  • fizzlekelly
    Fiona Kelly (@fizzlekelly) reported

    @bt_uk The service is continually dropping. Every day. SE London. We are paying for fiber. There is no point. I will be switching provider.

  • StephenJohnBarn
    Steve B (@StephenJohnBarn) reported

    @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach Yet another day of my two kids (one almost in tears) and partner struggling with home schooling and work due to slow internet. But neither BT or Openreach will tell me why we can't have fibre while all other houses in my area can? Nor when will we get it?

  • RobK41777792
    Rob K (@RobK41777792) reported

    @bt_uk Hey Claire, thanks for getting back to me. Yeah the hub was flashing orange, its blue now but the speed is so slow I can't send emails, log into google drive or even view my calendar. Yeah I went on that link but i dont think I have a phone number haha! Mybe I do, but no landline

  • DubStepDan88

    @bt_uk Happy 3 week anniversary, that's 3 weeks I have been waiting for you to install my Internet, 2 cancelled engineer appointments, 2 promised callbacks that never happened and one incredibly annoyed customer. If someone doesn't come today I'm going elsewhere. Useless.

  • RobK41777792
    Rob K (@RobK41777792) reported

    @bt_uk internet cutting out again, are there problems in Sutton? This keeps happening, please let me know if it's going to continue so I can try my luck with a different provider. Literally impossible to do my job

    Dear scammers if you're going to pretend your @BT_UK Don't use a mobile. D'oh. Although flip the telephone preference service doesn't work.

  • Stat079

    @bt_uk any chance you can run a broadband speed check on my service? Online is not working.

  • DubStepDan88
    Daniel Clarke (@DubStepDan88) reported

    @bt_uk If you think I am calling you again you must be joking, i have spent a total of 8 hours on the phone to you. As mentioned you promised me 2 callbacks that never happened. It shouldn't be up to me to constantly call you everyday.

    On a chat to @BritishGas trying to actually set up an account. The guy is so slow. Been chatting for an hour now and hes asked about 3 questions. @bt_uk is great customer service. Thats who you wanna be like.
