  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare I love the way you’ve got to speak to 5 people and none of them can give you a straight answer on when your connection will be live again. It’s like the secret service having BT as a business provider. Shocking service BT!

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter Hoare ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @PaulCaden1 and the students home Wi-fi likely no better either! I’m having to drive into work any day I am delivering online outreach presentations to schools or at online conferences as our home Wi-fi is so poor.....😳 @bt_uk?

  • timhardinguk Tim Harding (@timhardinguk) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk The most inept company in the UK, call yourselves a communications company ! you couldn’t connect dots on a dot to dot child sheet let alone connect a new build property, customer for over 29 years! useless

  • AdvancedIFA Advanced IFA Ltd (@AdvancedIFA) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btsport your service is terrible. Got billed £80 asked them to close account. Never watched it since pre lockdown 1 and today another £80 bill. Advised pay it or debt collectors will arrive then dispute it after payment. Very bad service. Still on hold 47mins to disconnect????

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Do you think you could address the problem of your BTtv EPG in relation to entries by @DiscoveryUK. Entries misleading in time, length of prog, capital letters, no synopsis and unable to "record the series". Do you care?

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Why aren’t you dealing with our issue after 6 days without business broadband? Disgraceful service as our business is at a standstill with no replies or urgency!

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk The Internet connection on your mobile network here in Stanley, Co. Durham is abysmal.

  • gerrinnesmac Gerry1nnes (@gerrinnesmac) reported from Peterlee, England

    @bt_uk Tweets are nice but I don't understand how you're in business! I've tried 7 times over three days to call you and you never ever pick up! Just a constant recycled message about being busy! If you can't handle busy you shouldn't be in business.

  • kennydude Joe Simpson (@kennydude) reported from Seaham, England

    @quidco If you could also sort the communication problem between yourselves and @bt_uk that’d be great.

  • shahanchowdhury Shahan Chowdhury™ © (@shahanchowdhury) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk My phone network is EE

  • DanielJenks89 Daniel Jenks (@DanielJenks89) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk I have had issues with my broadband dropping in and out of my devices since that major outage happened on Thursday. I don’t know if anyone else has had those continuous problems during that time?

  • heatherpott heather potts (@heatherpott) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk please can you respond to my complaint ASAP #poorcustomerservice

  • lornafaym lornafay (@lornafaym) reported from Seaham, England

    Absolutely shocking customer service from @bt_uk this morning. Glad I was already calling to cancel but being ranted at, demanded to re-consider and called crazy just put the nail in the coffin.

  • taylersant Tayler (@taylersant) reported from Newburn, England

    @bt_uk have been waiting three weeks for our internet to be installed, nobody turns up for appointment today, ring up to be spoken down too and told nobody was booked in so I need to rebook!!!! Worst customer service ever and having a nightmare before we even get our broadband!!!

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk And I NEVER get 4g. Lucky to get 3g!

  • baldymanali Alastair Smith (@baldymanali) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk just received email from you saying my email will be suspended if I don't login. I read emails on your new (and I might say, useless) ap every day. Have complained about it previously. Get it sorted

  • stevewallwork Steve Wallwork (@stevewallwork) reported from Annfield Plain, England

    @lynseyhipgrave1 @btsport @sjsidwell I think we know the answer to that one Lynsey. Our record is traditionally poor on Boxing Day anyway.

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Yes. The coverage here in Stanley is shocking. Time after time I have to connect to home or McDonald's or O2 hot spot to get Internet when out in Town. Even occasionally got no signal at all.

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Still no reply or update when our broadband will be back on. Nearly 7 days without a business connection. Let down everyday by BT 🤬

  • QlikStu Stuart Wannop (@QlikStu) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk Just upgraded to fibre 500, getting 120mbps on average. Slower than my previous BT package. Been told speed cannot be accurately measured into my hub. Still in cooling off period anything else I can try before I cancel it ?

  • dimos851 Dimos (@dimos851) reported

    @bt_uk I'm abroad (EU country) and have no service or data so can't really call you guys. Can't connect to any local network (says forbidden). Yesterday it was working just fine. How do we proceed?

  • itsmattholloway Matt Holloway (@itsmattholloway) reported

    A day of work down the drain, big thanks @bt_uk

  • chrimw Chris Williams (@chrimw) reported

    @bt_uk What is the justification for a 9% rise, my income is going down. Gas supply is short what’s your excuse.

  • MarkSmyth1960 Mark Smyth (@MarkSmyth1960) reported

    @bt_uk you are a shower of b@$tards! HTF can I report a fault if you continually hang up? How do I report a 90 year olds dodgy phone line that's been non existent for almost 8 days

  • sijames54a Jamesboy (@sijames54a) reported

    @bt_uk I have Virgin Broadband but I do have BT Sport - I’ve been continually let down by Virgin Media. I am in a typically bad service area and I don’t believe BT offer fiber optic

  • TutterTMouse Gareth B (@TutterTMouse) reported

    @bt_uk No, was just checking on my lunch break. It did say packages were based on recent usage. So I'll assume the 500 plan might appear once our usage settles down to our normal usage. If not I'll assume a call will be needed to have a package that meets our needs at the best price.

  • yng_grk_cyps Young Greek Cypriots (@yng_grk_cyps) reported

    @TheHipPhysio @CigdemTurkanHMT @btsport We have this account because of people like you making stupid comments like this, instead of engaging with the evidence. Let me ask you a simple question, what legally gives you the right to partition? If you can't answer that, withdraw your tweet.

  • Trundling17 Rosie Watson (@Trundling17) reported

    I need urgent help to get my new broadband service working @bt_uk The smart hub goes from green to purple, despite many attempts following your instructions. Please help as my phone has no coverage in my new place. Thanks

  • RandyWatson6969 Daz (@RandyWatson6969) reported

    @bt_uk Well I've had a months of crap Internet I have had many complaints all were closed even though I had never said I was satisfied. I have an open complaint at the minute that's been escalated I've never had any compensation. So why are you pretending to care now?

  • Loundshay Jane Tatam (@Loundshay) reported

    @bt_uk Like I said. Crawling slow!!!
