  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk The Internet connection on your mobile network here in Stanley, Co. Durham is abysmal.

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Yes. The coverage here in Stanley is shocking. Time after time I have to connect to home or McDonald's or O2 hot spot to get Internet when out in Town. Even occasionally got no signal at all.

  • 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 ?

  • Geordie_Shaun shaun (@Geordie_Shaun) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Cazza7 @btsport That’s crap. 🤬

  • 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!!!

  • DanielJenks89 Daniel Jenks (@DanielJenks89) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk I have had issues with my broadband dropping in and out of my devices since that major outage happened on Thursday. I don’t know if anyone else has had those continuous problems during that time?

  • 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

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk And I NEVER get 4g. Lucky to get 3g!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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????

  • gman_hughes 🐢gman scouser Hughes 😬☠️ (@gman_hughes) reported from Ryton, England

    @bt_uk @CattleprodSub @Se2n22 We got BT and ours seem to be slow , is this BT saying we need to up grade to faster internet, hmmm 🤔

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Do you think you could address the problem of your BTtv EPG in relation to entries by @DiscoveryUK. Entries misleading in time, length of prog, capital letters, no synopsis and unable to "record the series". Do you care?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • kphilchris Karen Brown (@kphilchris) reported from Ouston, England

    @BTCare I have an ongoing issue with my broadband I've been in touch a few times now, I've done as instructed & have plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop. I'm trying to watch a programme through the BT box on i player and it is just buffering all the time this can't be right

  • 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?

  • hibbytrish Hibbytrish (@hibbytrish) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. There seems to be no way of getting rid of the message without pressing OK. It would be good to know for sure if BT have been sending out emergency alert test messages. Are you able to find out please?

  • mayhemstories Jan Domagala (@mayhemstories) reported

    @bt_uk Why is it if I'm a new customer the package for my area is almost £10 cheaper than I'm paying now but if I upgrade as an existing customer I pay £6 more than I am already paying? That is an insult to customers who have been loyal.

  • Keiranwdigital Keiran Wilkinson (@Keiranwdigital) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Laura, I'm not sure what other information I can provide. It appears you ran a test on an emergency transmission system. It would be good tell your customers as to not cause alarm

  • callyoubetty Ali (@callyoubetty) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, do you have a customer service Twitter? My BT Call Blocker phone is putting people on my VIP List straight through to voicemail instead of ringing and it's driving me bonkers.

  • Owen_Thompson11 Owen Thompson (@Owen_Thompson11) reported

    @bt_uk I have the connection issue between the 2 bands on my smart hub 2 that drops the connection of my Sonos speakers. How can I force the update through to fix it?

  • tigwalker83 Gemma Walker (@tigwalker83) reported from Downham Market, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp 4 times in half hour my hub keeps going Orange! Checked status and no issues in area. Disrupting my work!

  • tweets_marks Mark's Tweets (@tweets_marks) reported

    @bt_uk As there seems nothing but complaints to what is an advertisement of a new service, I'm going to throw in my penny's worth and say my connection is just fine and supports everything in my household. If you've an issue call the support centre!

  • MBAAssociates MBA Associates (@MBAAssociates) reported

    @btbusinesscare 2nd router needs to be returned, 15 mins to arrange this online with your customer services. Considering your business is communication you ar y very good either communicating between depts and your subcontractors or indeed your customers. 🤔

  • DarrenRichArt Darren Richards Art (@DarrenRichArt) reported

    @RobPalmer80 @bt_uk I had exactly that problem but we have the BT mesh dish extender things. I plugged the Q and mini Q box into a dish each with Ethernet cable and it’s stopped happening. Without it it had started to happen once a week at least.

  • HdKruno Kruno 🇬🇧 (@HdKruno) reported

    @bt_uk No thank you we have taken it further to an Ombidsman to eventually take it to court you take the piss every month if its not the bill the Internet is terrible and you charge 40+ a month **** Company !
