  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @bt_uk My @btsport picture quality often way worse than this - pixelated and unwatchable with broken up sound. When are you sending me my £100? (and more importantly providing me with a more reliable service? 🤔).

  • 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

  • lornafaym lornafay (@lornafaym) reported from Seaham, England

    Absolutely shocking customer service from @bt_uk this morning. Glad I was already calling to cancel but being ranted at, demanded to re-consider and called crazy just put the nail in the coffin.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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????

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @rkelwick @fozia4 @bt_uk I’m waiting to receive my £100 as my BT Broadband regularly cuts me off Zoom calls and the picture quality from our BT TV is regularly terrible (but fine on the app on my iPad? 🤔)

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter Hoare ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @PaulCaden1 and the students home Wi-fi likely no better either! I’m having to drive into work any day I am delivering online outreach presentations to schools or at online conferences as our home Wi-fi is so poor.....😳 @bt_uk?

  • 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!

  • kennydude Joe Simpson (@kennydude) reported from Seaham, England

    @quidco If you could also sort the communication problem between yourselves and @bt_uk that’d be great.

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

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

  • 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 👏

  • 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.

  • glne12 gary littlemore (@glne12) reported from Longbenton, England

    Terrible @btsport sort it out

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @fozia4 @rkelwick @bt_uk Indeed. And when you complain you just get fobbed off? They need to change the law to require a business to honour any service or produce they supply. Especially builders and tradesmen? Seems to be impossible to get them to put right errors they have made?

  • 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!

  • baldymanali Alastair Smith (@baldymanali) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk just received email from you saying my email will be suspended if I don't login. I read emails on your new (and I might say, useless) ap every day. Have complained about it previously. Get it sorted

  • QlikStu Stuart Wannop (@QlikStu) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk Just upgraded to fibre 500, getting 120mbps on average. Slower than my previous BT package. Been told speed cannot be accurately measured into my hub. Still in cooling off period anything else I can try before I cancel it ?

  • 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 Still no reply or update when our broadband will be back on. Nearly 7 days without a business connection. Let down everyday by BT 🤬

    @BristolBears if there really are 2000 NHS staff here at the gate could a couple of them please help revive the atmosphere #bristolbears #brivnew #btsport

  • dinesh39bt40 dinesh (@dinesh39bt40) reported

    @MarcAllera @EE @bt_uk hi cc agent was not atall with talking to I need to explain few thing which I mentioned to in earlier tweets can I get a call just because of your cc agent my credit score is down and blocked now I cnt take anything in any network

  • I_are_Mark Mark (@I_are_Mark) reported

    Hi @bt_uk. Since you insisted on charging me £70+/month for the broadband you’re offering to new customers for well under half that, I’m changing to @skytv after more than 10 years with you. Could’ve kept a loyal customer, but your rep wasn’t interested.

  • BDubleYou Brian Waters (@BDubleYou) reported

    @bt_uk All good thanks. Just hope the team can reduce the clicks and bobble for me. I use it heavily to monitor who has been calling. Bookmarking you would think would help, but doesn’t.

  • LeeMarkDavies Lee Davies (with an e) (@LeeMarkDavies) reported

    Preparing to move my broadband from @bt_uk to @virginmedia... Virgin Media calls me and all I get is a chap with Liverpudlian accent shouting "slow down, slow down" at me. He didn't take kindly to me pointing out that's not the way to get my business. That plan is now on hold.

  • Steffmcd80 Steven McD (@Steffmcd80) reported

    @bt_uk my broadband going up £10 per month its a disgrace people are struggling with heating and the likes all you companies are the same only interested in profits never mind if customers are struggling 😡

  • ninethreeuk nine three creative (@ninethreeuk) reported

    @bt_uk On behalf of my father, I am now ten days into what can only be described as the most appalling customer service incident I have been involved in, you admit you have cut his landline in error but seem unable to rectify the situation. @MoneyTelegraph

  • RadarRadar Alan R Adair (@RadarRadar) reported from Hounslow, England

    @btsport I am tired of signing in every time I switch on my TV. Every time. Just once I’d like to sit down, point my remote and watch the sport instead of QR codes, passwords, IDs and six digit numbers in associated devices.

  • messymummsy debbie evans (@messymummsy) reported

    @bt_uk Tasha the problem is over 8 years ago . So I don’t have an account or details that your staff can find yet they say I owe £177 from more than 4 years ago ???? But they can’t send me any details absolute joke

  • AlexSAFC92 Alexander 🔴⚪️ (@AlexSAFC92) reported

    What a shambles @bt_uk putting bill up 14.4% @EE putting bill up 10% @OctopusEnergy unit cost up 490% and bill more than doubled. Mortgage rates doubled. Fuel and Food up. Well done to everyone who supported lockdown, shut down the world, destroyed the economy. Great work
