Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Halstead and nearby locations:

  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    So back to the @bt_uk saga, ordered 12th sept, told engineer would install on 27th sept, no one turned up, phoned & told no network had been built & would get a phone call yesterday, didn’t happen. Called today & next update 9th November. Absolutely disgraceful.

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Braintree, England

    @T3RRAF0RM @StadiaWorks @Webby317 @bt_uk On my s10 plus it works great. Connection takes about 2-3 minutes to settle down (lag on controls) but after that I dont notice anything. Looks great on the little screen to! But I wouldn't pay for the service atm.

  • pauldungey Paul Dungey - a life with dogs ❤️ (@pauldungey) reported from Colchester, England

    The sound for the manchester utd match on BT Sport 2HD live is terrible, the crowd is louder than the commentary, mind you @RobbieSavage8 is one of them so it's not all bad!! @btsportfootball @btsport

  • WestVodkadrink Marie Anderson (@WestVodkadrink) reported from Feering, England

    @btsport Absolute joke trying to get through to BT to cancel my BT sport subscription 😡🤬😡🤬

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Haverhill, England

    @bt_uk Doesnt help in the slightest.

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Haverhill, England

    @bt_uk Also. If my contract renewed 2019. That is this year. Not 2014 like first stated. Really seems that bt cant get there numbers correct. As you can see I've been a loyal customer for many many years. Seems like honouring sales pitches doesnt come easy for you guys. Lol

  • merseamillsy Shaun Mills (@merseamillsy) reported from West Mersea, England

    @bt_uk Intermittent problems, it’s a known issue at your end.

  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Colchester, England

    @bt_uk There isn’t that’s the problem... everytime the track order says update on such a date it then just says delayed. Really is disgraceful.

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk I'm having issues with internet speed again, this has been the past few days, I run a speed test but it says it's all fine, yet I cant load anything on wifi on my phone

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk Still having issues this is day 3 now

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Haverhill, England

    @bt_uk hey there. Have spoken before to yourselves about my poor upload speeds and you say you cant do anything. But from speaking to an ex engineer of yours, I have been told thats totally false and that a few easy things that you can do. Very disappointed. Tut tut.

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Haverhill, England

    @bt_uk Only issue is that the new xbox console streaming requires a minimum of 4.8mbs upload speed. I cannot use the service with the speed a currently have. Is very annoying. My internet is going to start hindering my tech going forward.

  • Lottievr4 Charlotte Read (@Lottievr4) reported from Colchester, England

    @Greg__Holmes @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I raised a complaint with them last week about my broadband constantly dropping out, heard nothing until they sent me a text just to say my complaint is closed! No investigation, no communication. Useless.

  • pseveruscarter 𓆙𝕻𝖆𝖎𝖌𝖊 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖗 📚🦢 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @KarimaAfc @bt_uk Has yours just crashed? Mine has gone down

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Braintree, England

    @StadiaWorks @Webby317 @T3RRAF0RM @bt_uk No. Xcloud is using off site servers. Xcloud console streaming is using console hardware. No interest in stadia at all. I'm in the beta for xcloud and it runs seamlessly (for me) even when on a 4g network.

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk Can I cancel my bt tv package

  • jameohale James Hale 🔰 (@jameohale) reported from Colchester, England

    @btsport your sound is terrible, keeps cutting out!! #BHAARS

  • Box_Valley Adrian Chalkley (@Box_Valley) reported from Boxford, England

    @bt_uk Well thanks for getting back eventually @TalkTalk quickly got back & have confirmed we will not have any service problems on Friday. I must emphasise I explained everything on the phone to your sales team who were not concerned, just wanted an order. We wait to see what happens!

  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    @bt_uk hi need to cancel an order with you, what’s the phone number please :)

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Haverhill, England

    @bt_uk Ethernet. It's happened on multiple occasions. Look. As long as I can use without buffering and quality drops to streaming etc I'm a very content customer. When buffering happens in 2019 there is something amiss. 5mb is crazy slow for "super fast fiber" ;)

  • theretroviking hmb (@theretroviking) reported

    @bt_uk Not me because my internet has been down for over 24 hours.

  • MrJonathanCarr Jonathan Carr (@MrJonathanCarr) reported

    @bt_uk FTTP down LOS red light. Fault check via BT on my mobile but it's stuck in a loop between book an engineer appointment and running new test because the old test (done seconds ago) has expired. ARGHHH! 😡what am I supposed to do BT!

  • rhinodave75 Dave Blackburn (@rhinodave75) reported

    @bt_uk Is there any outages in the Ipswich area, my Internet WiFi is very slow

  • harryajfarmer Harry farmer (@harryajfarmer) reported

    @bt_uk are awful Jesus 🙃

  • leabysea 𝙻𝚎𝚊 (@leabysea) reported

    @bt_uk The main problem seems to be the deliberate breakup of your business into separate bits which means your systems don’t work for you and don’t help me. I am now leaving BT after 36 years.

  • Phyllisdoris1 Phyllis (@Phyllisdoris1) reported

    @bt_uk are there any network issues in SA11 area? Have restarted modem etc & still no internet

  • KC_Runz Kris 🔴⚪ 🇨🇵 ⭐⭐ (@KC_Runz) reported

    @btsportufc @btsport @Leon_edwardsmma I’m down for Wembley in #2023

  • GutterdogUK Gutterdog (@GutterdogUK) reported

    @bt_uk First home tech engineer visit =usual response all seem fine in house but can see my line is rubbish. Handed the problem over to @BTSopenreach lets see if the next visit Tuesday does better than last month's and they actually fix the issue.

  • EmArSee1 Michael Cawdry (@EmArSee1) reported

    @bt_uk broadband speeds today of between 1 and 3 Mbps. Unacceptable. I pay for Halo 3 with usual speeds of around 90-100mbps. Tried restarting/resetting router but no difference. Is there an issue in the BD12 area?
