BT (British Telecom) Outage in Newport, Wales

@garethcollier @btsport I’m allowed down Monday to sort it all out & give it a good clean .. I wanna take nice pics then aswel to rent it .. but the actual day is April 12th it’s open ..

@bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service to my mum who had shielded since March 2020! She can't use BT sports anymore and BT are saying £130+ to remove it!! She doesn't have any money! She is stressed, immune compromised and BT drop this on her! Shameful!

@Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk We were supposed to have an engineer visit on the 18 Dec 2020 and that never happened. I asked BT to arrange an engineer last week and they said no need.

@Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk It was until last weekend but now it’s flashing. I’m told the issue is that Openreach have the wrong s/n attached to the property and Bt give them the correct one but it doesn’t get updated

@btsport I can't access my bt sport app. I pay for "Large Screen" on my phone to cast to my tv but have not been able to use it. Please help.

@btsport @btsportfootball what I would change in football. Cancel injury time and adopt rugby rules. Clock stops at half time and fulltime and whistle blows when ball out of play.

@bt_uk having trouble with our home broadband. Have followed your advice on texting a number, but no reply & still the same. Also, can't access own account either, even after pin number for resetting password. Can you please assist? Is there any phone number I can ring? Thanks.

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

@btsport The worst and toughest customer service experience I’ve ever had. 40 minutes of my life talking to an operator that had got no nearer to resolving my issue. Absolute awful service. Just ordered the monthly package tonight, paid £25. cancelled same night at a £25 loss

Anyone else find it a bit of a disgrace how bad the @btsport picture quality is? Guessing it’s to encourage you to spend even more money on HD? #BTSport #ManUtd #EVEMUN

Bt sport not working on virgin media 😡 #Btsport #virginmedia

@bt_uk @btbusinesscare Any chance you can help @btbusinesscare ? It’s so annoying

@bt_uk I am still having issues yes, someone at EE is currently investigating whether or not I have the package on my contract (I do)

6 calls 3 live chats 2 texts 1 complaint cut off 3 times. Still no wifi and continual landline issues for an 82 year old lady who has been shielding for 22 weeks. Worst service in a pandemic from an essential service @bt_uk #btbad #cutoff #isolated direct reply plz

@btsport Having a few audio issues with the commentary here. A few words are getting garbled and I can’t understand most of what they’re saying. Can you ask Fletcher to take his tongue out of Messi’s arse and that should clear it all up?

@btsport sort your streaming service out 🤔

Hey @bt_uk I’ve just had a call from a lady claiming to be BT Open Reach & there is a problem with my internet connection, I need to access my computer whilst on the phone with me to show me and fix the problem. As I’m with @virginmedia I’m guessing this is a scam. Am I right?

@btbusinesscare Oh, you have no idea how much patience I’ve had to excercise with BT for a few years. Improvements seem to made though, sensible call staff recognising a problem straight off, competent engineer sent ASAP. Just need to sort out recurring problem with local telegraph pole!

@bt_uk We haven't had internet for the last 3 days, still don't and your customer service has been awful. We all need the internet in the house to work and fulfill tasks but your company just doesn't seem bothered at all.

@bt_uk is there an internet and landline outage in Cardiff, Wales? Our phone is dead and our internet keeps making a noise and switching itself off

@btbusinesscare P.s. the engineer already came first thing this morning. He is the one who explained to me about the FEC errors.

@btbusinesscare Hope a whole team is coming because we’ve already had 3 engineers. All equipment has been replaced inside. Last @OpenreachHelp engineer said there’d been over 44,000 FEC errors on his test results. The problem is from the raised box on a pole outside to the exchange - not inside.

@btbusinesscare Catherine has today emailed customer to say she has to cancel this latest order and then proceed with yet another new order and then confirm new dates for installation appointment. At least I now have an email address for her. How long can this go on?

@bt_uk I would be great if you told me why BT is blocking my EE order to progress. Any solution would be highly appreciated. Please avoid directing me to EE. I had a long chat with them during the last 1.5 months.

@bt_uk Yes. My phone doesn't work when there is no power. Will BT refund me for down time due to the power companies outages? Or can I have a reliable copper line phone back please?

@bt_uk Sorry - one more question. Did BT, at the time I was taking these contracts out mention the "long line" and that "errors" are likely? How many others in this part of Devon have issues with BT? cc @AnthonyMangnal1 PS. Internet just dropped out again.

@bt_uk It appears they are not. I am aware BT and EE are the same company - and i am really stuck here and need a resolution urgently.

@bt_uk a customer service rep told me that I could not opt out of digital voice. So I have it. As I have a copper line can I not have both? I live rurally and a power cut means I have zero comms now.

@bt_uk is blocking me to get FTTP from @EE by faking a "technical fault". The "technical fault" is that EE offers a better price (£6 month less) than BT. Shame. The issue starting on 29th April. Lame excuse for 1.5 months.

@bt_uk I've already spoken to your support team but as by the time the service could be restored I'd be moving and I really don't want the switch to my new address to be messed up also I will have to live with it. Just don't mess up the move date and services...
