  • 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!!!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @bt_uk I'm tempted to challenge this. As a BT customer, pre fibre, all I ever heard was that the WiFi was "lagging again". I'm on 350mbps cable now but would love a reliable BT connection in the future

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

    @bt_uk My @btsport picture quality often way worse than this - pixelated and unwatchable with broken up sound. When are you sending me my £100? (and more importantly providing me with a more reliable service? 🤔).

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

    @btbusinesscare guess what? Promised a phone call 1 hour after I spoke to your team on the phone at 10am and they haven’t rang back. You are exceeding my expectations of being the worst service provider in the UK right now 👏

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk hello, hope you can help please? After a 95 minute phone call on Saturday your advisor assured me my problems would be solved by an engineer tomorrow. I’ve had no email or text to confirm this. Please advise.

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

    @rkelwick @fozia4 @bt_uk I’m waiting to receive my £100 as my BT Broadband regularly cuts me off Zoom calls and the picture quality from our BT TV is regularly terrible (but fine on the app on my iPad? 🤔)

  • 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?

  • 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 🤬

  • mikecharlston Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @bt_uk We currently have @skytv but after a week of little to no signal, the sky engineers have confirmed it’s an issue with trees out issue of our garden so sky looks like a no go! We currently have sky q in three rooms, do bt allows three boxes in the same house??

  • 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????

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

    @fozia4 @rkelwick @bt_uk Indeed. And when you complain you just get fobbed off? They need to change the law to require a business to honour any service or produce they supply. Especially builders and tradesmen? Seems to be impossible to get them to put right errors they have made?

  • 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.

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @bt_uk I'm going to head round and help him.

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Can you not just get an English person to call me direct to fix this please? I’ve been passed about for 6-7 weeks now.

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Week 7, still no line working, 4 engineers, 3 credit checks and 30 false promises to get back in touch. But hey, your still charging me for this.

  • 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.

  • charming_man_ Tory 1 (@charming_man_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk can we have an update on the outage Middlesbrough TS5

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • shazzah_harm Shae Harmon (they/them) (@shazzah_harm) reported

    @hidinginthevoid @bt_uk This is also after appalling service from @ThreeUK trying to get set up with their internet. Why are they all so **** at caring about customer experience?

  • mattallen76 Matthew Allen (@mattallen76) reported

    @bt_uk It’s now 5 weeks that I’ve been without fibre. That’s 5 weeks of excuses. 5 weeks of broken promises. 5 weeks of not being able to run my business properly. Enough. Is someone going to pull their finger out and get this sorted? #badcustomerservice

  • Bob89Shiska ShiskaBob89 (@Bob89Shiska) reported

    @bt_uk I set up an account for Mobile / Broadband with BT before coming over to the UK on the 18th. It's now the 23rd and I have neither service due to ongoing Faults, and no prospect of having any service this week despite repeated calls to your technical teams. Worst Service.

  • ryan76614721 ryan (@ryan76614721) reported

    @bt_uk what is going on with BT internet right now?? Last few days my internet is extremely slow and it keeps coming and going all the time. We are paying for broadband and the service is absolute garbage

  • Bob89Shiska ShiskaBob89 (@Bob89Shiska) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk The answer you DMed me is old information and in no way advanced the resolution of this issue. No Manager is due to call me, please look at this properly.

  • ryan76614721 ryan (@ryan76614721) reported

    @bt_uk what on earth is going on with Bt Internet?? Last few days my internet is coming and going constantly. We are paying for internet and the service right now is absolute garage

  • CHunt88 Carmella Hunt (@CHunt88) reported

    @bt_uk Do you have an estimated timeframe for your latest Smarthub2 to “settle down” after installing?

  • shazzah_harm Shae Harmon (they/them) (@shazzah_harm) reported

    Hey @bt_uk you sent us a temp Mini Hub that only works for 10 minutes until it shuts down and we cant see it anymore- even when it is reset. Like we need to work. Why is it so hard to send us an actual working device that's been tested?

  • stephen56428845 stephen coleman (@stephen56428845) reported

    @bt_uk Ee is the worst! Terrible network

  • markwilkinson1 Mark Wilkinson (@markwilkinson1) reported

    @jamclarkey @bt_uk Thanks James. Happily I already have a UPS (due to the winter power cuts here). Something else to plug into it now though. The phone - also overland here- was something you could rely on when power was down, but not anymore it seems.
