Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Houghton-Le-Spring and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @bt_uk I'm tempted to challenge this. As a BT customer, pre fibre, all I ever heard was that the WiFi was "lagging again". I'm on 350mbps cable now but would love a reliable BT connection in the future

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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? 🤔)

  • gerrinnesmac Gerry1nnes (@gerrinnesmac) reported from Peterlee, England

    @bt_uk Tweets are nice but I don't understand how you're in business! I've tried 7 times over three days to call you and you never ever pick up! Just a constant recycled message about being busy! If you can't handle busy you shouldn't be in business.

  • 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!

  • 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????

  • 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 🤬

  • 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 👏

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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? 🤔).

  • 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 ?

  • inkedcaribbean inkedup_britishjamaican (@inkedcaribbean) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @bt_uk going on nearly two weeks no internet. failed appointments, being lied to etc. i defo would NEVER recommend these absolute idiots! now they switched the mini hub off, that barely works. lost my job because of them btw. defo going to watchdog and the papers

  • DrKelly_PS Dr KellyPickardSmith (She/Her) #WIASN (@DrKelly_PS) reported

    @btsport website says as a broadband customer I can watch you for free online or through App but BT customer service is saying I need a TV package. Both can't be true so can you clarify pls?

  • ByrdsNStuff ByrdsNStuff (@ByrdsNStuff) reported

    I thought Owen Hargreaves on #BTSport was the worst co-commentator of all time, but this Jack Crawford guy has swooped in and taken the title after just one quarter at #NFLLondon #ITV

  • Terryhu33546015 Back Ange. Back the Team. Sack the board (@Terryhu33546015) reported

    @JungleLion_ @chris_sutton73 @btsport Or is it done to try and show up the celtic support? Ie kris boyd WILL get called an ‘orange bastard’ at these games but they dont want the rangers fans to be heard screaming ‘******’ and the rest. They are a club for all after all 😝

  • mtgillespie Mark Gillespie 💙 (@mtgillespie) reported

    @bt_uk Can someone explain the point of your complaints process? I raised a complaint about your poor service on 11th Sept. I've had to reopen it, it's been sat saying "we'll call you as soon as possible" since the end of September, and still I've not heard from you even once.

  • flexiturb Arjun Singh (@flexiturb) reported

    The only good thing about a BT sport broadcast of the cricket is to listen to the lugubrious tones of Aussie commentators when they lose. As it rarely happens, it remains the worst broadcast of cricket ever. No effort put in at all. #bbccricket @btsport

  • RuthHutt4 Ruth Hutt (@RuthHutt4) reported

    Just seen my Dad’s phone bill. £36 on calls to his GP practice in a month-often waiting in a queue to be told to call back the next day as it’s “not an emergency” @bt_uk can you help and cap call costs to NHS services? #CostOfLivingCrisis #primarycare #nhs

  • manlikekobzuna Kobina (@manlikekobzuna) reported

    @bt_uk I bought emergency wifi 4 days ago and the money is still pending to be deducted from my account, which means I couldn’t use the service until it was deducted. I would like you to release the money and return it back please. This isn’t cool!

  • calgas21 Marc Sewell (@calgas21) reported

    @btsport @btsportcricket why on earth would go for an ad break with one ball left of the over, only to return and miss the last ball? Why not just show the ads after the over? Terrible coverage! You’d never see that from Sky.

  • davids_voyage David (@davids_voyage) reported

    @bt_uk Managed to fix it by buying a 10m ethernet cable which I've got running out of the window from upstairs and in through the window downstairs to the router. Pretty poor though that the only device I have in the house that can't connect by WiFi to my BT router is the BT TV Box.
