  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk My broadband has been off for over a week now.. ive spoke to 4 advisor's and had 3 engineer's out. One of the engineer's lied and said i wasnt in when i spoke to him at the gate. Very poor service!!!!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk afternoon folks. I’ve lost connection on my digital phone line. I’ve reset the handset and hub but the issue still exists. Any help would be fab thanks

    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 Sunderland Bridge, 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 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.

  • Sandancer60 Dave Miller #ButcherXiJinping #BBCFakeNews (@Sandancer60) reported from South Shields, England

    @MSANNCOOPER @jojojoheeley @bt_uk Ring #BBCFakeNews. Im sure they'll be able to help you out. Don't waste your time ringing. Don't pay the bill if you don't owe it. Let them take you to Court: they'll lose.

  • 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!!

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

  • 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

    @bt_uk Hi I have a problem with the transfer of my number from TT to BT after installation of FTTP

  • willsagnew William Agnew (@willsagnew) reported

    @virginmedia So I take it by your total silence and disregard for customer service that you no longer wish to support a paying customer? When it comes time for my DD to leave I’m thinking I might just cancel it and ignore you! Wonder if @SkyUK or @bt_uk fancy a new customer?

  • ShaunieMcMaster Shaunie McMaster (@ShaunieMcMaster) reported

    Is anyone else having issue with @bt_uk internet, the past week has been awful and I’m expected to do home learning but keep getting kicked out of zoom due to internet connection??

  • theNaMoShow Nadia Mostafa (@theNaMoShow) reported

    @bt_uk Yes I will raise a complaint, and I will also seek advice on the accountability you as a company have on this. Is a mere “sorry you are dissatisfied” is good enough? When people are dying from this virus?? Your staff should be wearing #ppe!

  • theNaMoShow Nadia Mostafa (@theNaMoShow) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk this isn’t about customer service. This is about lives of your customers being put seriously at risk of contracting #covid simply because your engineers don’t wear #ppe when entering homes. Do you understand how serious this pandemic is? I will be contacting @BBCWatchdog

  • ElBuffalow Alfie (@ElBuffalow) reported

    @bt_uk So you want me to pay an extra £15 per month to get a decent wi-fi signal upstairs?

  • resonatmortis resonatmortis (@resonatmortis) reported

    @bt_uk It’s not affecting the service but the cable is hanging across 3 properties and the box in the centre is getting closer to my neighbours car window every day!

  • chewystuey stuart (@chewystuey) reported

    @joetracey7 @PippaCrerar @bt_uk There are several providers who run their own circuits, often now fibre, but also copper into customer premises. You also need to clearly differentiate BT Openreach from BT consumer (who made the offer to DfE). They are NOT the same company, have extensive regulation between

  • OldTup DrewWalker (@OldTup) reported

    @btsport as a bt broadband&landline customer what options do I have to view my efl team FA Cup game on BT tomorrow other than full btsports subscription I don't want? I've searched for game&matchday passes but not found anything?

  • memike72 Jim (@memike72) reported

    @bt_uk I’m using the checker on the ‘now’ tv box when the internet slows down and the picture begins to pixelate. Afterwards I did it again and it was up to 7mbps. It’s intermittent drop of signal, very frustration g.
