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

  • mulcs85 John Mulcahy (@mulcs85) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @IamAustinHealey @Saracens @ChampionsCup @leinsterrugby @btsport Congrats Saracens - but some serious self evaluation needed by Leinster - not why we lost but reffing of offside and breakdown was a bad joke - really has to be addressed - laws already there - enforce them

  • HarrymBarham Harry Barham (@HarrymBarham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Oh dear @bt_uk… Offered a new contract twice, but my acceptance has been ignored then was supposed to be transferred on a call today but the transfers are broken so was given a direct number…. for the wrong department, who are now panicking because they’re getting random calls

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk As I have tried to explain, an update on a possible new start date 10 days after the promised start date really isn't the level of service I expect from BT.

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from South Hetton, England

    @bt_uk Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree Please fix my broadband just for me I've waited now for many days (17 and counting) Many promises fade in the haze Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree Please make my broadband work for me

  • Hossy93 Joseph Drane (@Hossy93) reported from Brandon, England

    @Gaz_House @btsport Or you could go down the night before. 😉

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Extremely dissatisfied. I've just moved, trying to get landline and broadband at my new house - promised for Monday 2nd, got landline on Friday 6th but still no broadband. Lots of excuses, might possibly be sorted on Thursday 12th. Very poor service.

  • TVBCJonpaul Jonpaul Heron (@TVBCJonpaul) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Working fine all day, week and month. Now watching #ChampionsLeagueFinal2019 on @btsport on YouTube and it’s now poor. Very interesting.

  • John_P_Turner John Turner (@John_P_Turner) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Queried business bills, however, billing team are unwilling to discuss/explain the issues raised. Service has now been suspended and billing team refusing to engage without payment being made. This is nothing short of blackmail! @MoneyTelegraph @TimesBusiness

  • timlibrarian Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    @bt_uk Hi, no, it’s not a new build. Engineer visited before Christmas and was able to activate broadband but not phone service due to a fault in the junction box. Order number is VOL013-439847322595

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk No broadband (now 15 days late), no reasons given why not, no sense of urgency to actually get it sorted. I'm running out of superlatives to describe your dreadful customer service and general incompetence.

  • RiskManager01 John McLackland (@RiskManager01) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @CCriadoPerez @McAfee_Help @bt_uk Although I have never encountered any virus/mail ware problem for any Mac, you should be able to delete MacAfee files from the Library and Preference Folder.

  • CraigShitpeas Craig Shitpeas (@CraigShitpeas) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Rochdale’s 40yr old forward more effective than #Nufc 40million pound one. He is awful. No heart, no touch, no industry just dreadful. Well done #rochdale a deserved payday. They should have won it. They still might! #facup #btsport

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk And people on Twitter may be looking for a new broadband connection and should be aware of the level of service from BT

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Crook, England

    @bt_uk False alarm, it was a nice neighbour dropping off a Christmas card - I saw an Openreach van down the road and assumed that you had actually done something!!

  • calthomson10 Callum Thomson (@calthomson10) reported from Newburn, England

    @btsportfootball @btsport please never ever let John Hartson commentate on your channel again. Ever.

  • JohnRobson18 John Robson (@JohnRobson18) reported from Wallsend, England

    I predict spurs to lose 5 -0 they are awful. @btsport

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The light doesn't seem to change colour - yes the service is dropping out - I feel that there is either a degradation of pair quality or faulty termination equipment in the cabinet or exchange - there is definitely an issue.

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The automated 'check my line' service isn't finding the fault.

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk I moved house in the last year - previously I had sky DSL - copper only and enjoyed better service - this shouldn't be the case. I have another property with VM Docsis service - again a better service - but your core network was built on low cost - 21CN - poor product choices.

  • liamlcg MrGrumpy.....Y.N.W.A (@liamlcg) reported from Murton, England

    @bt_uk ...... Your wifi is shit

  • MicknJennynToby Toby (@MicknJennynToby) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. Looks like it was a local issue and engineer has been booked.

  • ExperianJohn John Webb (@ExperianJohn) reported

    My 94 year old Grandma with mobility issues has phone line cut early, switching to digital by @bt_uk. None of the equipment delivered blaming @RoyalMail. She's got a personal alarm that can't be used. Home phone can't be used @Ofcom how can vulnerable people be left like this??

  • lousummers Louise Summers (@lousummers) reported

    @MrsMcCul @bt_uk Same for me! It’s shocking that they refer you back online where nothing can help! How can I log a fault if I can’t speak to someone??

  • Izzymant Izzy Mant 💙 (@Izzymant) reported

    @JNRaeside @bt_uk You may guess what I think of @bt_uk customer services from the fact that they tried to aggressively upsell packages to my recently bereaved mum when she told them repeatedly she just wanted them to take my dad's name off the account.

  • monk3ybarz Monk£y Bar$ (@monk3ybarz) reported

    @bt_uk I've spent 45 minutes on the phone going through everything. Appalling customer service - should have updated me about the issues but didn't. No one mentioned a backlog when ordering. What a surprise @OpenreachHelp being under resourced

  • monk3ybarz Monk£y Bar$ (@monk3ybarz) reported

    @bt_uk ordered new broadband last month and was told activation would happen by the time my current provider disconnects. Now being told @OpenreachHelp have a backlog (surprise) so won't be connected in time. Official complaint submitted. Shambolic before even getting connected.

  • lousummers Louise Summers (@lousummers) reported

    @bt_uk how on earth am I supposed to log a fault with my broadband?? When you do the ‘troubleshooter’ online you acknowledge a fault, tell me someone will call me, but then later message me to say you’re too busy and I should try again tomorrow!! #help #Disgraceful #badservice

  • Blondie_Gem Gemma Knight (@Blondie_Gem) reported

    @bt_uk Just wanted to add that there is clearly a fault. Was told twice there wasn't, but everyone in the area has no internet. Hopefully it gets sorted as I've had to take emergency holiday as I can't work.

  • Izzymant Izzy Mant 💙 (@Izzymant) reported

    @bt_uk This was two years ago. I was just expressing solidarity with @JNRaeside. I hope you get her issue sorted.

  • alistairds Alistair Dorman-Smith (@alistairds) reported

    @bt_uk Your phone service says it has technical difficulties, your automated bot is unhelpful and my broadband is down. The bot said someone would call me within 90 mins but they didn't. How can you help me?
