Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newcastle upon Tyne and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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? 🤔).

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

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

  • 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? 🤔)

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!!!

  • 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 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 👏

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • twinmum21 Claire C (@twinmum21) reported

    @bt_uk after an extremely poor service in ‘upgrading’ our broadband and leaving the job UNFINISHED, why do you REFUSE to sort out the MESS you made and you keep CLOSING any complaint case we make without resolving? Extremely poor service.

  • Chemfund Lawrence (@Chemfund) reported

    Struggling to get BT Openreach to fix a 6 month FTTP issue, how can this be resolved @BTGroup @bt_uk

  • Studonnyblade S (@Studonnyblade) reported

    @bt_uk had no Internet in Doncaster all day DN5 what is the issue please

  • Norris15_Richie Richie Norris (@Norris15_Richie) reported

    @bt_uk No I’d rather let everyone know not to bother coming across to BT, I’ve just spent 40 minutes talking to your ‘customer service’ team for them to fob me off again! 67 days and counting

  • ScaryHighlander John G. Burns (@ScaryHighlander) reported

    Anyone have contact details for BT's Technical Management Centre / TMC? My phone has been dead for NINE weeks since BT installed fibre broadband. Problem moved to TMC but they're not contacting me. @bt_uk

  • BexBitchDrummer Bex 👩‍🚀 (@BexBitchDrummer) reported

    @Studonnyblade @bt_uk Apparently it’s an issue at the interchange

  • steves01x Steve (@steves01x) reported

    @bt_uk maybe me being stupid but I cant find anywhere on your site once logged in to view/order a family sim? And any info on them it says it has to be the same deal/allowance that i am on? Only need a cheap monthly for my child! Thanks.

  • Nathan02944834 Nathan (@Nathan02944834) reported

    @bt_uk nice one no internet for 2 days because your engineers can’t fix a simple fault. Joke of a company somebody else should run it because all u get is faults from by openshite

  • ScaryHighlander John G. Burns (@ScaryHighlander) reported

    @bt_uk My landline phone has been dead for nine weeks since BT installed fibre broadband. Problem moved to TMC / Technical Management Centre? but they're not contacting me.

  • lavender_layla Layla Lavender (@lavender_layla) reported

    @bt_uk We’ve already tried but you’re telling us that we have to pay to get out of the contract, even though you’re not fulfilling your end of it and actually never have. (And we do not live out in the sticks by the way.)
