  • 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 😥😥

  • LeeJarraHackle Lee Hughes (@LeeJarraHackle) reported from South Shields, England

    Greedy @bt_uk , Greedy @SkySports how many more pubs have pulled out with your ££££ price hike hang your heads in shame

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk I’m still down on all platforms (apart from my iPhone which I don’t log out of)

  • 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.

  • PickledTiger_ Pickled Tiger 🐯 (@PickledTiger_) reported

    @JuxtoG @bt_uk i used to have it where every other month my upload speed would drop down to around 0.5mbps but of course because my download speeds were in their magical guaranteed range of at least...17mbsp they did nothing.

  • beatle1974 Jo Stevens (@beatle1974) reported

    @bt_uk ref order no. VOL013550773658942 booked for 18/1 is there chance to bump this forward? I’ve been without broadband for 2 weeks already due to multiple errors your end

  • julietillyflop Julie Nelson Rhodes (@julietillyflop) reported

    @bt_uk need urgent help for my 94 year old MIL who’s phone is not working properly. She’s contacted you with no joy. She lives alone and is vulnerable- we live 200 miles away and are her bubble. This is urgent as she can phone us but we can’t phone her to check on her.

  • MattPage MattPage (@MattPage) reported

    Hi @BT_uk. Please can you help? We just moved house yesterday so are waiting for our broadband to get turned on, but lockdown means our kids' school lessons are all online so they can't access them. Is there anything to do to speed up our wait time? Our switch on date is 18th

  • PickledTiger_ Pickled Tiger 🐯 (@PickledTiger_) reported

    @JuxtoG @bt_uk feel your pain, i've been battling against shitty BT service for nearly 2 years with no alternative as they all use BT lines. They're a ******* joke.

  • amyewri Amy Wright (@amyewri) reported

    @bt_uk I cannot tell you how frustrated we are after weeks of trying to settle (ie get you to fix!) our final bill. After it was wrong, yet again, Nicola B promised to wipe all charges on 03/01. We’ve yet to receive a new bill with 0 balance. When will this happen?! What a joke

  • stancliffe_jack JackSharedGradient (@stancliffe_jack) reported

    @bt_uk 70 days since a complaint was lodged around broadband provision. 70 days later after multiple promises of dig work, planning application procedures, photographs of the site, and maintenance. Your contractors @OpenreachHelp have no trace of any of this in their systems?

  • IFrancis62 Ian (@IFrancis62) reported

    @visitandtravel @bt_uk @Plusnet I do too. Other way to ask if they could hang on for a second and then leave them on the line

  • fallonseven Seven (@fallonseven) reported

    Has anyone had a cold call message from their Internet provider saying they're cutting off the service due to some illegal activity. Is this a scam? Mines @bt_uk

  • juanmiguti Juanmi (@juanmiguti) reported

    @bt_uk hi my internet (40mb Fibre) is being really slow since Monday, to the point where my download speed is 2mb... is there an issue going on? I have been using BT Fibre for 2 years and this never happened before
