    @bt_uk Hi, I have just had an experience with your customer service, with which I still don’t have an answer, if I can get your fttp services. My new post is DH4 4ZL. Your web site says that your fttp service is available. If someone can help and views this post. Please do

    @bt_uk I moved house in the last year - previously I had sky DSL - copper only and enjoyed better service - this shouldn't be the case. I have another property with VM Docsis service - again a better service - but your core network was built on low cost - 21CN - poor product choices.

    @bt_uk afternoon folks. I’ve lost connection on my digital phone line. I’ve reset the handset and hub but the issue still exists. Any help would be fab thanks

    @MSANNCOOPER @jojojoheeley @bt_uk Ring #BBCFakeNews. Im sure they'll be able to help you out. Don't waste your time ringing. Don't pay the bill if you don't owe it. Let them take you to Court: they'll lose.

    @bt_uk are the most incompetent company. I’m only a month into my contract and I want to cancel already. Terrible customer service, they just pass you to another dept and then your back to the start. I’ve never rang a company so much to get something sorted. #terrible

  • joshybanyard

    As lovely as it is for @btsport too show the #ChampionsLeagueFinal for free but the stream is awful...

  • MrsP1001
    MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Extremely dissatisfied. I've just moved, trying to get landline and broadband at my new house - promised for Monday 2nd, got landline on Friday 6th but still no broadband. Lots of excuses, might possibly be sorted on Thursday 12th. Very poor service.

  • John_P_Turner
    John Turner (@John_P_Turner) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Queried business bills, however, billing team are unwilling to discuss/explain the issues raised. Service has now been suspended and billing team refusing to engage without payment being made. This is nothing short of blackmail! @MoneyTelegraph @TimesBusiness

  • MrsP1001
    MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk No broadband (now 15 days late), no reasons given why not, no sense of urgency to actually get it sorted. I'm running out of superlatives to describe your dreadful customer service and general incompetence.

  • TVBCJonpaul
    Jonpaul Heron (@TVBCJonpaul) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Working fine all day, week and month. Now watching #ChampionsLeagueFinal2019 on @btsport on YouTube and it’s now poor. Very interesting.

  • calthomson10
    Callum Thomson (@calthomson10) reported from Newburn, England

    @btsportfootball @btsport please never ever let John Hartson commentate on your channel again. Ever.

  • MrsP1001
    MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk As I have tried to explain, an update on a possible new start date 10 days after the promised start date really isn't the level of service I expect from BT.

  • laaurenmoore94
    lauren moore (@laaurenmoore94) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Anyone else’s @btsport crashing all the time on bt sport 1 or is mine just bad! 😂😂pointless having it when that’s the main channel 😂😂😂

  • graeme_i_wilson
    Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The light doesn't seem to change colour - yes the service is dropping out - I feel that there is either a degradation of pair quality or faulty termination equipment in the cabinet or exchange - there is definitely an issue.

  • RiskManager01

    @CCriadoPerez @McAfee_Help @bt_uk Although I have never encountered any virus/mail ware problem for any Mac, you should be able to delete MacAfee files from the Library and Preference Folder.

  • graeme_i_wilson
    Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @bt_uk hello, I've had an ongoing broadband instability issue for around 6 months - frequently when I'm using IP voice applications the service is disrupted - I've tried to raise a fault on this a number of times - help!!

  • HarrymBarham
    Harry Barham (@HarrymBarham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Oh dear @bt_uk… Offered a new contract twice, but my acceptance has been ignored then was supposed to be transferred on a call today but the transfers are broken so was given a direct number…. for the wrong department, who are now panicking because they’re getting random calls

    Sick to death paying for @bt_uk for shite network. Keep having to sign in then it says change password despite knowing it! What is going on? Fy8 area.

  • TitsOut
    Matthew Titley (@TitsOut) reported

    @bt_uk Yea, you need to send Open Reach round ASAP to sort it out, you also need to refund me costs of having to go to the office as it doesn’t support WFH, and my Sky Multi room subscription as that can’t be used on the EE box. Cheers, my name is linked to my account.

  • The__Farmster
    The__Farmster (@The__Farmster) reported

    @bt_uk - Hi. Got internet and landline through you. But we never use the landline. Don’t even have a phone plugged in to it. Can I get rid of the phone line and keep my internet services? Thanks

  • zinfandel101
    owain (@zinfandel101) reported

    @bt_uk i order a broadband connection and tell you there is no socket to plug router in - you tell me that you can’t do anything till the end of today when it is end of day 1 - plan to fail is epic! I then have to wait 2 weeks for an engineer

  • Johnson1989C
    Christopher Johnson (@Johnson1989C) reported

    @bt_uk are the issues going to be fixed overnight with broadband, after following steps through Sky, its showing that it seems to be an issue with the ONT? PON is not showing green as it should and is red/orange, seen reports of outages around the North West

    Sue (@Surfingsue) reported

    @bt_uk Hi StephB, Thanks for getting back to me. Could you please feedback to the powers that be that I think Cold Calling of any kind is very bad. Especially now with Covid and Scams on the rise. Personally I wouldn’t buy on even engage on the doorstop. Thanks, Sue.
