  • 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.

  • SoSureSewell sewellpaul@lfc (@SoSureSewell) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shocking service from @bt_uk. No compassion at all from you as a company. Lost my job & my home and now you want to destroy my credit scores. Nearly £500 charges for leaving early. 8 months in to a 24 month contact does not seem fair to me 😥😥

  • 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.

  • andydeltic andy (@andydeltic) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk Morning folks, I’ve lost my full fibre connection. I’ve logged it etc via the website. Is there an issue at the exchange or is this scheduled maintenance? Thanks in advance Andy

  • Martin756901511 Teddy (@Martin756901511) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Hi @bt_uk, I moved in my new house two weeks today and I still have no internet and your doing nothing to fix it. I have had to cancel Sky twice and they are booked this Friday. I would like this sorted with an engineer visit tomorrow.

  • 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.

    @bt_uk broadband outage in DH77DD affecting *both* BT and Sky customers. According to Sky (your website doesn’t acknowledge it) since 11:30 last night. What’s going on?

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

  • 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.

    @bt_uk @simonharris_mbd BT won't let me care for wildlife because I am spamming myself? Help!

  • LazBlazter Larry Mount (@LazBlazter) reported

    @JohnWLewis @bt_uk @GiganetUK I was with Sky till recently but went full fibre a few weeks ago. You will not regret it if you switch in my experience. My Dad got talked out of his Giganet service by Shell Energy not realising he was going back to copper. He reverted with great support.

  • stoner1968 @Stoner #BackBoris100% (@stoner1968) reported

    @bt_uk I’m absolutely sick to death of your extremely poor service! You’ve sent me kit I don’t need, you’ve set a contract then frozen it, you’ve now asked me to return my kit I paid for, and still none of it works properly!! Absolutely 💩 service! 🤬🤬

  • davenelson1979 Dave Nelson (@davenelson1979) reported

    @bt_uk Just spoken to someone in Newcastle and they can’t send an engineer until Saturday the 8th shocking service

  • traceydisco Tracey (@traceydisco) reported

    @bt_uk You’ve been overcharging us for 3 months now. Your Stockport team were supposed to resolve it by yesterday and email me. Heard nothing from them. Called again today and still not sorted. Your customer service is awful.

  • TailorWellers George Archibald new⚒ (@TailorWellers) reported

    @bt_uk No point. BT sent out an engineer yesterday who didn't have the skillset so they closed the case. I reopened it and they've booked to come back on the 2nd. Leaving BT ASAP. Cost me over £250 and offered £26 in compensation. Horrible for a multi billion £ corporation.

  • traceydisco Tracey (@traceydisco) reported

    @bt_uk @Triciamck18 I’ve had similar issues, been overcharged for three months and promises to sort it out have come to nothing. BT make it so hard when we’re already dealing with so much 😔 I hope they do something to help.

  • 1RobC1 . (@1RobC1) reported

    What's up with this "On BT Sports" in a stupid, attempting to sound aggressive voice? It's pathetic and not needed @btsport

  • traceydisco Tracey (@traceydisco) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t believe you Nick, sorry. I was promised a reply by yesterday. I called in again today and you sent me a generic holding email at 10:15pm tonight! Why can’t you guys just provide a proper service and meet your promises? Your headline says 24/7…

  • ammanno05 DOB JNR 🇺🇦 (@ammanno05) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you.. I will only cancel if i cant have the special offers available to other Now tv customers - dont see why I should miss out and pay more just because I am with BT
