@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????

@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? 🤔)

@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 👏

@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? 🤔).

@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.

@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 🤬

@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!

@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?

@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.

@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.

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

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.

I have 0.5gb of phone data to last me 25 days, mini hub has broken & still no WiFi, well after a month @bt_uk promised my WiFi would be fixed. Completely unable to work from home & got 250 kids I can’t contact thanks to BT’s shocking service. Do not recommend!!!!!

(@GregHH1984) reported
@bt_uk I haven’t, because I really can’t see how that is relevant to the issue of the BT app telling me content is only available in the UK. I have the Sky Go app, which works fine. Please can you tell me what error VP216 means? Thx

(@frankiebhoy58) reported
@bt_uk I would love to but you won't upgrade in my area. And why are you, BT, promoting something that's nothing to do with. Anytime I've had a problem with what broadband I have, I'm told its an Openreach matter, not yours. And why doesn't Openreach have a phone number people can call?

Need to contact @HMRCcustomers about being stuck at sea and being unable to file my tax return - impossible to do. Want to cancel @btsport and @bt_uk won’t let me so they can steal money from me. My credit card company won’t let me pay them unless I can phone them UK is a joke

@bt_uk is there some kind of issue with broadband at the moment? A lot of people complaining about no internet access, including myself. When will this be fixed

@bt_uk Your Service Status says no issues in my area; funny. My router has disconnected 4 times in the last 40 minutes and internet is up & down like a yo-yo; this is after 6 months of on-going issues with my (expensive & increasingly unreliable) broadband
