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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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? 🤔).

  • 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 👏

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • andyb7274 Andy Brown (@andyb7274) reported from Bedlington, England

    @MarkMowbrayNE @redvanman12 @bt_uk Its what they're told to do (been there, done it) or were at the time. Probably changed now, but blame process not the poor agent on crap money 🙃

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • KRISKROS5 Kris Kross (@KRISKROS5) reported from Blyth, England

    BT commentator- “ you have to get it on target or you will not trouble the keeper or make him make a mistake” fantastic awareness.... #newcry #btsport #NUFC

  • 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!

  • 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????

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Technology… why does it fail when you want to watch live sport? #itv has vanished from our telly. 🙄 good job we’ve got a back up tv with old fashioned aerial. I see we didn’t miss much when trying to retune… #POLENG @bt_uk full package fail again…

  • 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? 🤔)

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _laurenevs 𝐿𝒶𝓊𝓇𝑒𝓃 𝐸𝓋𝒶𝓃𝓈 ☾ (@_laurenevs) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve already raised another complaint (yet again) your company and staff are useless.

  • andreasmav1 𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕤🐜 (@andreasmav1) reported

    @bt_uk Yes. I'm aware of that. That's why it's worth letting your leaders know that they'll probably be invoicing BT for the 4 FTE, 4 x vans, drum of fibre, hoist hire etc. And.... They'll probably charge again as they need to come back and fix my neighbour's one also. 🤑🤑 Kerching

  • sausagezz Love trees (@sausagezz) reported

    @bt_uk take the nets DOWN for kittiwakes sake. @DefraGovUK @DefraNature please ban nets like these on buildings.

  • ItsAlfieGreen Alfie Green (@ItsAlfieGreen) reported

    @Ale_n_Metal @bt_uk Yes! I've been beta testing the fix for BT and it should be out soon... It's fixed it for me!

  • JFOF533 JFOF (@JFOF533) reported

    @bt_uk tale of bad service. I use my email from my PC every week day but you have chosen to close and delete my email account. I raised this on Apr 28 and now have to wait until May 10 for the ECR team to contact me, they are too busy before then!

  • SarahGarth Sarah (@SarahGarth) reported

    @bt_uk My email address is suddenly not recognised, is there an issue?

  • _Alexsmith1 Alex Smith (@_Alexsmith1) reported

    @ThomasJones1604 @bt_uk @bt_uk sort your service out

  • MusicaLondra Alexander Hall (@MusicaLondra) reported

    @bt_uk Can't see the reply I sent immediately, but that may be because the Mini-Hub I was sent today has only been working intermittently. Keeps cutting out. Of course I reported the problem and spoke to 5 different BT advisors yesterday. So far no joy at all.

  • BipolarXpressUK The Bipolar Express (@BipolarXpressUK) reported

    @bt_uk Residential. There is no broadband at all right now. Not sure how long it's been off. Last 4 days almost nothing, very weak connection. I have a video if you want to see how bad it's been?

  • douglas__hill Douglas Hill (@douglas__hill) reported

    @bt_uk is there an expected time for the broadband service in the west end of Glasgow to resume?
