  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Can you not just get an English person to call me direct to fix this please? I’ve been passed about for 6-7 weeks now.

  • timhardinguk Tim Harding (@timhardinguk) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk The most inept company in the UK, call yourselves a communications company ! you couldn’t connect dots on a dot to dot child sheet let alone connect a new build property, customer for over 29 years! useless

  • taylersant Tayler (@taylersant) reported from Newburn, England

    @bt_uk have been waiting three weeks for our internet to be installed, nobody turns up for appointment today, ring up to be spoken down too and told nobody was booked in so I need to rebook!!!! Worst customer service ever and having a nightmare before we even get our broadband!!!

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Why aren’t you dealing with our issue after 6 days without business broadband? Disgraceful service as our business is at a standstill with no replies or urgency!

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk hello, hope you can help please? After a 95 minute phone call on Saturday your advisor assured me my problems would be solved by an engineer tomorrow. I’ve had no email or text to confirm this. Please advise.

  • unclenobheadCB Philip Robinson (@unclenobheadCB) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Fully subscribed to @btsport for several years now but I refuse to watch another @NUFC **** show! #bruceout #EVENEW

  • stevewallwork Steve Wallwork (@stevewallwork) reported from Annfield Plain, England

    @lynseyhipgrave1 @btsport @sjsidwell I think we know the answer to that one Lynsey. Our record is traditionally poor on Boxing Day anyway.

  • AdvancedIFA Advanced IFA Ltd (@AdvancedIFA) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btsport your service is terrible. Got billed £80 asked them to close account. Never watched it since pre lockdown 1 and today another £80 bill. Advised pay it or debt collectors will arrive then dispute it after payment. Very bad service. Still on hold 47mins to disconnect????

  • KRISKROS5 Kris Kross (@KRISKROS5) reported from Blyth, England

    BT commentator- “ you have to get it on target or you will not trouble the keeper or make him make a mistake” fantastic awareness.... #newcry #btsport #NUFC

  • Markberry89 Mark Berry (@Markberry89) reported from Guide Post, England

    @bt_uk internet is the absolute WORST of them all!!!

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare I love the way you’ve got to speak to 5 people and none of them can give you a straight answer on when your connection will be live again. It’s like the secret service having BT as a business provider. Shocking service BT!

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Week 7, still no line working, 4 engineers, 3 credit checks and 30 false promises to get back in touch. But hey, your still charging me for this.

  • jennifercribbes Jennifer (@jennifercribbes) reported from Ashington, England

    Massively disappointed with @bt_uk my mam is in tears with how she has been treated by customer services. Had no phone line for weeks due to a fault then charged loads of timeline charges. Transferred through to a number of staff no one in BT has ever heard of a timeline charge??

  • andyb7274 Andy Brown (@andyb7274) reported from Bedlington, England

    @MarkMowbrayNE @redvanman12 @bt_uk Its what they're told to do (been there, done it) or were at the time. Probably changed now, but blame process not the poor agent on crap money 🙃

  • gemlids gemma liddell (@gemlids) reported from Guide Post, England

    @bt_uk absolutely disgusted in service from BT .. my dad had a brand new roof fitted yesterday and BT open reach came out for an issue with their neighbour!! A new bracket has been fit to my parents house , damaged new roof and broken wire taped together !! Disgusting

  • heatherpott heather potts (@heatherpott) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk please can you respond to my complaint ASAP #poorcustomerservice

  • charming_man_ Tory 1 (@charming_man_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk can we have an update on the outage Middlesbrough TS5

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare guess what? Promised a phone call 1 hour after I spoke to your team on the phone at 10am and they haven’t rang back. You are exceeding my expectations of being the worst service provider in the UK right now 👏

  • WASNAPPER Martin (@WASNAPPER) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    2 days on & off now sitting listening to crap music. Not by choice but trying to report another fault to @plusnethelp service used to be good but garbage since @bt_uk got involved

  • pompeygeorge George Stevens (@pompeygeorge) reported

    @bt_uk “Never pay more than a new customer” fairly straightforward to me. And yet if I login as new user same deal £20 a month difference.

  • pompeygeorge George Stevens (@pompeygeorge) reported

    @bt_uk Halo 1. I quote again: “never pay more than a new customer” source: bt website. Which bit of this am I misunderstanding?

  • yorkshabastard LimaSierraTwoSeven (@yorkshabastard) reported

    @hannahbrad Bad times, I can't stretch to the long distance call but hopefully someone can put a phone next to a TV with btsport and give you a call!

  • PabloAlAl Paul Allen-Alvarez (@PabloAlAl) reported

    @bt_uk No Lizzie, it was clear from the conversation he didn't want to help. I asked him to connect me with a manager, so he put me on hold for 25 minutes until I hung up. When my line first went down, I had just lost my mother, it was her funeral last Tuesday. Imagine all this too.

  • CashmenTips Cashmen Tips (@CashmenTips) reported

    @bt_uk I have BT WiFi and TV with Sports and it hardly ever works they came out and fix the WiFi but sports still doesn’t work... have to use my phone for it to work

  • youngin_uk Captain PubWatch (@youngin_uk) reported

    Here @bt_uk I think it's about time you rolled out FTTP where I live like. I'm sick of having crap download speeds cos the bloody cabinet is a million miles away.

  • Seddon1968 Stuart Seddon (@Seddon1968) reported from Lancaster, England

    Clearly @bt_uk engineers like to put their feet up at weekends. Broadband went down today (annoyingly during Popmaster!!!) and now not due to be fixed until Monday. Digital radio and dvds only 😤

  • danny_hay73 Danny Hay (@danny_hay73) reported

    Here I am at home with BT Full Fibre 900 and I have switched my phone to 4G as it’s faster.. absolute joke BT, you should be absolutely ashamed... worst broadband ever and at a cost of £69.99 per month @bt_uk

  • eeexbee ellara (@eeexbee) reported

    @bt_uk No. What you can do now is tell me how you are going to compensate me for the time I have WASTED trying to get a connection with you. I used up my annual leave and took unpaid days off work because I was left without broadband! I have never had to chase a company like this before

  • Ellie80687027 Ellie (@Ellie80687027) reported

    @bt_uk And I had nothing from you .... this is why people are tired of you @bt_uk I will pay the £302 I supposedly owe you - minus the money you still owe me in compensation for your **** service last year that has actually led me here ......
