  • WASNAPPER Martin (@WASNAPPER) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    2 days on & off now sitting listening to crap music. Not by choice but trying to report another fault to @plusnethelp service used to be good but garbage since @bt_uk got involved

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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????

  • 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!!!

  • 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 ?

  • 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 👏

  • 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

  • glne12 gary littlemore (@glne12) reported from Longbenton, England

    Terrible @btsport sort it out

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬

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

    @bt_uk My phone network is EE

  • unclenobheadCB Philip Robinson (@unclenobheadCB) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Fully subscribed to @btsport for several years now but I refuse to watch another @NUFC **** show! #bruceout #EVENEW

  • 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? 🤔)

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SimonWeekes Simon Weekes (@SimonWeekes) reported

    @bt_uk I had a look at what packages were available on BT's website before going ahead. Apparently this has left an unfulfilled ordered on the BT's system, and this is stopping me getting the BT fibre I ordered. Can you help?

  • sarahruthglynn Sarah Glynn (@sarahruthglynn) reported

    @bt_uk I've spoken to 2 different advisors in the last 10 minutes, the first made me confident I am correct to leave your company the second 'susie' has just about restored my faith in your company, she epitomised customer service and actually made me feel valued as a customer

  • SimonWeekes Simon Weekes (@SimonWeekes) reported

    @bt_uk Can you please help? I was told my first order for fibre had been cancelled and to place a new order. I've done that, but the 'MyBT' is only showing the first order; and there's nothing about being refused the £9.99 I paid for the Smart Hub on the first order.

  • sidrawoodward sidra (@sidrawoodward) reported

    @bt_uk is your broadband down in Northamptonshire?? wifi has been awful for over 12hrs now

  • GFX2001 Ian Robson (@GFX2001) reported

    @bt_uk Don't bother I used 1572 on the phone instead. I will mention these new Website problems to the Customer Resolution Team the next time I talk to them. They are already dealing with problems caused by the MY BT Website not working correctly back in Janurary.

  • ajcwbay Andy Clark (@ajcwbay) reported

    @bt_uk BT is hilarious in its utter uselessness. I received today my fifth or sixth text telling me that I would be rung during a particular time slot (about an ongoing problem, one of many) and - guess what: I’ve never received a single call in any of those slots. 🤡🤡🤡

  • JoostMalvort Joost Malvort (@JoostMalvort) reported

    @bt_uk My query is generic, regarding your fault-reporting process. For example, what happens if a person does not have a mobile, and landline and broadband are both down? Is there a number one can call to speak with a real person?

  • SimonWeekes Simon Weekes (@SimonWeekes) reported

    @bt_uk I've just been told my order has been cancelled because I selected the wrong option (cancel existing service). Can you help?

  • barryjohnfrost Barry Frost (@barryjohnfrost) reported from Clyst St. George, England

    @BTCare It’s now an official complaint but the service is worse than shocking in every aspect - shame on you 😩

  • futurestn Jim Julien 💙 (@futurestn) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve managed to actually speak to someone and apparently it’s an external problem I’ve been advised and given an estimated date of it being fixed.
