  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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 ?

  • 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 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!

  • shahanchowdhury Shahan Chowdhury™ © (@shahanchowdhury) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk My phone network is EE

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

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

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

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

    @bt_uk been without internet for a week after install, can someone help please?!!

  • MikeLightfoot83 Mike Lightfoot (@MikeLightfoot83) reported

    @bt_uk @skytv @BTSopenreach after being told full fibre broadband was available in our new home it’s now been 3 months waiting for installation. Existing copper wire broadband has been deactivated (so we’re told) so we have no internet at all. Awful service!

  • Harrywa34926336 Harry walker (@Harrywa34926336) reported

    @bt_uk is my broadband down ?

  • laura_jones82 Laura Jones (@laura_jones82) reported

    @bt_uk wow, custome for over 10 years, broadband renewal 60 pound, same package as a new customer 30 pounds! Time to look elsewhere.

  • AmandaWJess1 Amanda W Jess (@AmandaWJess1) reported

    @bt_uk I’m leaving BT forthwith as they’ve not dealt with my upgrade or complaint. Will they care? I doubt it very much!

  • SaraSinaguglia Sara Sinaguglia (@SaraSinaguglia) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk still no service, 11 days on, 3 engineers, several phone calls. Openreach engineers have acknowledged the fault, yet nothing is being done, apart from sending through my latest bill!

  • TheNigelroberts Nigel Roberts (@TheNigelroberts) reported

    Well @bt_uk openreach have possibly been the worst company I’ve dealt with in years due to the misinformation given by their engineer. Promised a call back again today , #hangingonthetelephone

  • Smamfa75 Sam (@Smamfa75) reported

    @bt_uk how do I cancel BT sport?

  • NJBruce29 Nathan Bruce (@NJBruce29) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I managed to speak to 2 helpful colleagues at BT, I have logged a complaint with them and have opened up a complaint with openreach who "completed" the poor installation job. Just waiting for a response before I get back to BT. Thank you.

  • weeflxnk Flank (@weeflxnk) reported
