  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk the worst service in the UK. I’m still getting bills for a service I stopped in January. Absolutely shambolic. I stopped being a customer 3 months ago yet here I am on hold to BT. What a joke.

  • wilko1999 Angela Wilkinson🍃💚🍃 (@wilko1999) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk It was not a missed appointment it was a total failure of communication. Someone could have contacted me so I could have stayed at work. Now I have an unreliable service over a Bank Holiday weekend and another planned appt for next Wednesday.

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @bt_uk It’s down on all platforms I’m trying to log into except my iPhone which I don’t log out of…

  • SmarProcurement David Hall (@SmarProcurement) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    For me @btsport have taken the mantle from @talkSPORT for the worst cricket coverage. Matt Smith is a good football presenter but is clearly not a cricket follower and the commentary they are using from Fox is terrible. If @bbctms can send their to team to Australia why not BT?

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @bt_uk I’m still down on all platforms (apart from my iPhone which I don’t log out of)

  • 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.

  • dellynel niall (@dellynel) reported from Seaton Delaval, England

    @bt_uk we just tried to cancel @bt tv and internet today as the prices have been put up only to be told we are tied in until the New Year or it will cost us £600 Yearly fixed term contract can't cancel complete and utter con

  • andrew14ad Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @msmith850 @btsport Never in doubt they are back

  • joshybanyard Josh Banyard ⚫⚪⚫⚪ (@joshybanyard) reported from Longbenton, England

    Anyone got a @btsport LOGIN I can borrow for the #nufc match? 🙏🏼 #shybairnsgetnowt

  • 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 🙃

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    Not only is the @bt_uk wifi poor on my smart hub 2 but the lack of channels available is terrible. BT need to sort this out and expand the available WiFi channel choice to prevent neighbours clashing

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

    Technology… why does it fail when you want to watch live sport? #itv has vanished from our telly. 🙄 good job we’ve got a back up tv with old fashioned aerial. I see we didn’t miss much when trying to retune… #POLENG @bt_uk full package fail again…

  • 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.

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @btbusinesscare I moved house in December, you failed to move my Internet so spectacularly that mid January I cancelled the non existing internet. I’ve been sent bills in February & March that I’ve had to phone about. Im just trying to warn other people how bad your service is.

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

  • ChaneyMichael Michael Chaney (@ChaneyMichael) reported from Dunston, England

    @gateshead who do you report vandalism of a phone box to, is it council or @bt_uk can you help? As it is a BT phone box.

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk Err, no because that link takes me to a request for a landline. This is a cellular issue. Thanks though

  • SamVerissimo Sam Luis Verissimo (@SamVerissimo) reported from Lambeth, England

    @bt_uk is there a outage in se5 internet and landline not working?

  • xSapphireBellex Sapphire Belle (@xSapphireBellex) reported

    @bt_uk That would be great if I was actually being given accurate information. I’ve apparently missed an engineer appointment today, when the engineer who came yesterday told me they wouldn’t be back out till March. Go to rebook the appointment and nothing til mid-Feb? Not good service

  • BarrettTweets Tyburn's Tallest (@BarrettTweets) reported

    @bt_uk We have since been told the fault is outside of the property so I wont hold my breath for normal service to be resumed.

  • DanaEvans96 Dana (@DanaEvans96) reported

    Literally the worst Internet we've ever had, uploading assignments is virtually impossible so can you reply or answer the phones to actually help us?? @bt_uk

  • ThePepperPotUK Judith 💙 (@ThePepperPotUK) reported from Winchester, England

    @BTCare VERY disappointed that as an existing customer of yours I can not take advantage of @discounts_mod BT offers you have. This stipulation does not appear to be listed on the T’s & C’s. #Veteran #badservice

  • carl_rob68 Carl Robinson (@carl_rob68) reported

    @bt_uk do you think ringing 3 times in 3 minutes while people are working from home is good customer care. When I answered to tell the person I was in a work meeting they continued to try and discuss my contract. I ended up having to hang up.

  • LKHHorizon Laura Higginbottom (@LKHHorizon) reported

    @BTGroup @bt_uk Phone lines to our care homes are down and your operatives won't even pick up the phone. We are trying to co-ordinate vaccinations and look after people!

  • CherryBakewell5 Cheryl Rawling (@CherryBakewell5) reported

    @bt_uk Done. Let’s hope something gets done. Should of cancelled BT a long time ago as the service is terrible!! 😡😡 There were much better deals but I decided to stay, what a mistake!!

  • MathsTeacherKYP Maths Teacher (@MathsTeacherKYP) reported

    Just had a phone call, supposedly from @bt_uk saying the internet is going down, all over the UK, in 2 hrs time - and they provide internet for everyone! Since we are with @virginmedia I suspect a scam!!! Anyone else heard anything?
