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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!!

  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    10+ years (probably more) of being a loyal @bt_uk @BTGroup customer and they couldn’t waive the early termination fee liable because my new move means I can’t transfer the contract to my temporary property. I will never use them again.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • 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

  • d4rryl23 Darryl Arnett (@d4rryl23) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Hi, I have just had an experience with your customer service, with which I still don’t have an answer, if I can get your fttp services. My new post is DH4 4ZL. Your web site says that your fttp service is available. If someone can help and views this post. Please do

  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    A new development on the BT issue. Had a call following my Tweet from a person @bt_uk apologising for yesterday. Early termination fee waived, apology accepted and relationship restored. Both agreed that this wasn’t the way it should happen but impressed with the resolution.

  • 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

    @bangolfsen @bt_uk BT always try to sell up on the promise it will fix their shoddy service.

  • davecG60 Dave Carrington (@davecG60) reported

    Hi @bt_uk . I asked for a transcript of my order 26/1 to be emailed, it never arrived. Now have to wait up to 2 months for a copy so I can check my order details are correct? Really ?? And why can't I just find my contract renewal date without asking for it 😒

  • 76Randomguy randomguy (@76Randomguy) reported

    @bt_uk hi, we have BT Sport through a Sky HD+ box. All other channels working OK but BT Sport either breaking up/pixelated or message “No Signal Being Received”. Are you aware of a problem please? Thanks!

  • ZRevolutionYT ZRevolutionYT💻 (@ZRevolutionYT) reported

    @therealldb1 @bt_uk There is another broadband called utility wearhouse it’s garbage wifi and costs £2 something a month but better than bt.

  • andyiuk Andy (@andyiuk) reported

    Credit where it'd due, @bt_uk customer service is first class.

  • LeeW_Sport Lee Wellings (@LeeW_Sport) reported

    @btsport May I complain about a really poor and unnecessary piece of scheduling today. @CollegeGameDay is best programme around. Don’t treat its viewers disrespectfully by using it as occasional adhoc filler. I wanted to watch it today, and it should have been on. Simple as that.

  • gordso1 gordso (@gordso1) reported

    ill say it again for @SkySports and @btsport never ever try and put allison anywhere near edersons levels @ManCity

  • garywraight gary wraight (@garywraight) reported

    @BTCare my grandma is having trouble with her phone. It’s saying it’s engaged but both phones dial but don’t ring

  • chris_hall1967 Chris Hall (@chris_hall1967) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Thanks Dan. @bt_uk told me they had raised the issue with you but also said they could not tell me (or find out) for sure the switching off process could be stopped, only saying they'd try to fix by Thurs, leaving me potentially without broadband 'til then. HopeEscalationWorks!

  • lesleytweedy lesley tweedy (@lesleytweedy) reported

    @bt_uk need help as getting no where on phone and engineer has been 3 times in past year and problem just getting worse, crackling phone that u can’t use and internet going off leaving 73yr old with no heat. Keep saying there’s no faults!!
