Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Hetton-Le-Hole and nearby locations:

  • 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?

  • 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 🤬

  • 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? 🤔).

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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????

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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? 🤔)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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 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 👏

  • ChaneyMichael Michael Chaney (@ChaneyMichael) reported from Dunston, England

    @gateshead who do you report vandalism of a phone box to, is it council or @bt_uk can you help? As it is a BT phone box.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • boywhatruns Matt Billingham (@boywhatruns) reported

    @badboybubby69 @btsport @SkySports I’ve just turned on the Southampton game. Awful picture quality in HD. As you say, BT Sport is an awful lot better.

  • JMORAN_10 Jonathan Moran (@JMORAN_10) reported from Sale, England

    @bt_uk every time I watch a football match via my box the sound stutters every 10 seconds (both sky and by sport) . The picture is fine just the sound…. Can someone help?

  • Rob_shillito Rob Shillito (@Rob_shillito) reported

    @bt_uk internet is down and your site says will not be fixed till Tuesday. Some more info would help as many still working from home.

  • Queerlad Sean McG (@Queerlad) reported

    @bt_uk any updates on what is causing issues near tower bridge in London as been without service for almost the whole weekend

  • waspie2 waspie2 (@waspie2) reported

    @bt_uk That's the problem they don't know if there is a problem with the lines outside since it started when bt did work on the line few years ago or if they need to upgrade the package to get better speeds etc

  • zippysno1fan Mr.B. (@zippysno1fan) reported

    Is it me getting old?(probably) or has @SkySports @BBCSport @btsport changed football presenters, commentators and pundits for the worst, just to be P.C, rather than quality they already had? Cancelled all my subscriptions due to this. Begrudge paying my TV licence fee as well!!!

  • tizstu Stu Ballam (@tizstu) reported

    @bt_uk Just fix the issue and if you can’t (because it’s openreach not BT) just increase my package to provide “unbreakable broadband” then refund the cost until the line is fixed. Forward cost incurred to Openreach under your SLA I presume you have!?

  • tizstu Stu Ballam (@tizstu) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks but don’t need another phone call to be told I need to increase my bill due to the failings of BT to provide the original guarantee - Only to have the speed fix after 29 days then break again next month - starting a new 30 days. it’s a scam

  • turnbullgw Turnbulls (@turnbullgw) reported

    @SkySports would you commentate over the captain of Man Utd, Liverpool, England, France after winning a final? Why is it ok to talk over the Captain of Limerick? Poor show @btsport get on to the GAA for coverage. Its the little things that mean the most!

  • Bazil1000 Bazil (@Bazil1000) reported

    @bt_uk Sorry for the delay getting back to you I’m driving home from holiday. Everything should be ok for now any more problems I’ll let you know tomorrow after the engineer has called
