  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk No. As I've proved all I needed was a new hub. After being a BT customer for 20+ years. I'm looking forward October when my contract finishes. You have a good day.

  • SoSureSewell sewellpaul@lfc (@SoSureSewell) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shocking service from @bt_uk. No compassion at all from you as a company. Lost my job & my home and now you want to destroy my credit scores. Nearly £500 charges for leaving early. 8 months in to a 24 month contact does not seem fair to me 😥😥

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk 1/2 Not that this will go anywhere. BT SH2 had massive issues with service. OR been out "Fixed line" still issues ring so service desk. Engineer planned visit. NO Show. So ring the service desk again, Got LB call centre. Woman put the phone down on me.

  • andydeltic andy (@andydeltic) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk Morning folks, I’ve lost my full fibre connection. I’ve logged it etc via the website. Is there an issue at the exchange or is this scheduled maintenance? Thanks in advance Andy

  • yeritchie Yvonne Ritchie #against hate, corruption, Brexit (@yeritchie) reported from Prudhoe, England

    @btsport Why is the stream buffering on Android?? Never had issue before.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @MarcSDuffy @bt_uk Hyperoptic has been amazing for me, much cheaper and customer service is really streamlined.

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    When I go to hell. I know what's waiting for me. It's the guys and girls at #BT billing. And I'm destined to unravel the web of **** for all eternity. @bt_uk

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk Listen. It's an ongoing joke. There isn't one company I've worked for where it's not an issue. 30% of my time is dealing with billing. I'll use my account team. Just wanted to vent.

  • Marksto1983 Mark Stokes (@Marksto1983) reported from Seaton Valley, England

    Dunno what hurt’s more my eyes watching that awful Spurs performance or my ears from that awful commentary from Martin Keown #ARSTOT #Spurs #BTSport

  • Martin756901511 Teddy (@Martin756901511) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Hi @bt_uk, I moved in my new house two weeks today and I still have no internet and your doing nothing to fix it. I have had to cancel Sky twice and they are booked this Friday. I would like this sorted with an engineer visit tomorrow.

  • man_of_gwent Stephen Davies (@man_of_gwent) reported from Harlow Hill, England

    Absolutley shocking customer service from @bt_uk. Left hand not speaking to right hand resulting in my service cancellation. Nothing but issues from start to finish! My advice - steer clear

  • davidmellstrom David Mellstrom (@davidmellstrom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @btsport @btsportrugby @bt_uk trying to watch Newcastle Falcons v Bristol tonight on BT1, BT1HD and BTUltimate and all BT channels are jumping and stuttering. Is it just me, or is everyone having this problem. It's usually fine. Every other channel is unaffected.

  • _ViewFromHere ViewFromHere (@_ViewFromHere) reported

    @bt_uk I don't really think a DM is gong to fix this is it? I've STILL had zero contact from an engineer or BT as a whole. No mail, no call, no update in the BT App regarding my order. I'm having to contact you and you arranged the appointment 🙄 utterly proposterous situation. Poor...

  • OneRandomDolly OneRandomDolly (@OneRandomDolly) reported

    So sorry for the lack of streams guys .. issues with @bt_uk are constant and I cant maintain a connection for longer than a couple of minutes.

  • j3nnavieve jennavieve skilbeck (@j3nnavieve) reported

    @bt_uk can you send me another pre paid envelope please? The first one never arrived!

  • jocra14 John Crabtree (@jocra14) reported from Clevedon, England

    @Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk It was until last weekend but now it’s flashing. I’m told the issue is that Openreach have the wrong s/n attached to the property and Bt give them the correct one but it doesn’t get updated

  • EthanBailes123 Ethan (@EthanBailes123) reported

    @bt_uk I have just started a mobile contract with you that included access to the BT sport app. However it won't let me sign in using my BT ID.

  • ScottParko Scott Parkinson (@ScottParko) reported

    @bt_uk finally a query and not a complaint. I can’t seem to split between 2.4GHz and 5GHz so I’ve got devices on 2.4 that I want on 5 and vice versa, can you help?

  • 3seaxes Nigel Bruce (@3seaxes) reported

    We are totally sick of @bt_uk broadband service. This problem’s been running for 3 months. Numerous phone calls, 2 engineers, complaints answered a week later. No apology, no £100 rebate offer and offering their “service” to new customers at 50%. What price loyalty & service BT?

  • callanryan_ Cal (@callanryan_) reported

    @bt_uk Hi BT, the last 2 times I’ve called through your advisers have been useless and when I said that I’d like to raise a complaint with Liam from the billing team, he told me that he’s not the person that deals with complaints and put me back to the switchboard

  • jocra14 John Crabtree (@jocra14) reported from Clevedon, England

    @Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk We were supposed to have an engineer visit on the 18 Dec 2020 and that never happened. I asked BT to arrange an engineer last week and they said no need.

  • kien1974 Kien Tan (@kien1974) reported

    @AlanIvinghoe @BritishTelecom @bt_uk They seem to be replying to queries about specific problems, so maybe try that?
