    @NRManc @bt_uk Crazy isn’t it. Thank god or IT Specialists for internet calling since we don’t get any sort of mobile signal here.

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk is it is acceptable for elderly customers to be disregarded as they do not use a mobile phone? Engineers due 8-1 today, agent I'm speaking to today has IT issues and keeps getting disconnected... I need to speak to a manager ASAP as agent isn't doing that

  • ange_duncan Angela Duncan ⭐️⭐️ (@ange_duncan) reported from West Bergholt, England

    @bt_uk day 5 of no landline or broadband and expected fix date 23 June 😡😡 seriously shocking customer service when I phone to ask what you can do to help me …. Nothing unless I upgrade apparently. How am I supposed to work from home?

  • luke_kennedy luke (@luke_kennedy) reported from Braintree, England

    Love how iv waited a year to cancel @btsport (July)and yet arsenal qualifying for champions League means I have to renew the crap 😭

  • Mork4mindy Garry Harvey (@Mork4mindy) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @krishan_davis Yes, let down by @BTSport the commentary is awful and so biased with 4-5 repeats of dismissals in an over. Thank God for TMS commentary. #Awful

  • Secrethamper Secret Hamper ™ (@Secrethamper) reported from Tolleshunt Major, England

    Hi @bt_uk our phone lines are down yet again, the 3rd time in as many weeks and 1-4 days to fix… this is our busiest time of year and we are missing lots of potential business which is costing us dearly

  • SuePownall Sue Pownall Artist (@SuePownall) reported from Bures Saint Mary, England

    @bt_uk I don't want to receive the message. I want the number blocked. It doesn't ring on my phone but goes to voicemail and I have to waste time calling it and listening to garbage.

  • Sandsy79 💁🏽‍♀️Emma💁🏽‍♀️ (@Sandsy79) reported from Halstead, England

    I can honestly say the customer service at @bt_uk is second to non. Even though they don’t connect me for 3 weeks!!!! They’ve still been great 👍🏽

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @KillerKoalaz @bt_uk Hmm... There's various things you can try to see if it on your network or the actual connection

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @KillerKoalaz @bt_uk Perhaps a device or person on your network is using it heavily at this point?

  • Enge21 Enge Gray (@Enge21) reported from Great Dunmow, England

    @londonirish ********? My @btsport box ******* died this afternoon so didn’t see it.

  • howiesway Darren (@howiesway) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @BTCare I have received calls 2 days in a row claiming my PC has a malware issue. I have hung up on both calls, I am assuming this is a scam. This seems to be on the increase.

  • Bull_Diggy Bull Diggy #GSBOUT (@Bull_Diggy) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk my internet is down, I’m stuck in with 2 kids on lock down, and after nearly 45 minutes on the phone you still have not answered. Absolutely disgusting customer service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • Therockstar111 Rowan Richards (@Therockstar111) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk Can you tell us all actually what has happened to be broadband network in the Chelmsford area and approximately how long will service return to normal so we can make arrangements please?

  • jonesy23 lee jones (@jonesy23) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk @BTCare Hi Team. I currently have the fibre 100 package (fibre to home) however I seem to experience severe performance issues when we have 2 laptops running in the apartment. Could you please contact / send a wii fii boaster possibly ?

  • beckiewood69 Beckie Wood (@beckiewood69) reported from Heybridge, England

    @bt_uk I have a very bad broadband connection today, trying to WFH is proving difficult. BT not says no fault but there most definitely is

  • gottapulse Gottapulse (@gottapulse) reported from Witham, England

    @bt_uk I have been trying to cancel my BTsport subscription for 40 minutes now but each time I get transferred to cancellations the line goes dead. Has happened twice now. Please advise.

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

    @bt_uk This came back no issue, but I can confidently say there is an issue

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

    @bt_uk This has been an ongoing issue for a few weeks now, my partners phone keeps switching to mobile data because it keeps dropping out and now she has none left 😑

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • adhdiwill ADHD Will 🇺🇦 #FBPE #BLM 🇺🇦 (@adhdiwill) reported

    @btbusinesscare I think the problem is you say you want us to lock in a better deal, by renewing our contract, but you’re accidentally showing us the deals only available to new customers. Who am I supposed to complain to about this? Is it ofcom? Trading standards?

  • Delna1234 Delna (@Delna1234) reported

    @jonesrachelann @btbusinesscare @Keir_Starmer Just occurred to me that I’ve heard of a number of people having problems with O2 and Virgin. All having difficulty with problems re getting through to call centres . O2 keep saying caller failed the security test until they threatened complaint

  • jim_morrison123 Jim Morrison (@jim_morrison123) reported

    @jonesrachelann @btbusinesscare Hi Rachel Did you get it sorted? We are in the same boat. The sales are great but then the technical support in India is useless. We are on the 7th week and its still not working. I think I have made 40-50 calls in total and its still not working.

  • Dave_Goodhand Dave Goodhand (@Dave_Goodhand) reported

    @btbusinesscare Hi I work for a local council, I'm trying to help a customer with an address for some stables, BT say they need an address for a connection, but stables aren't something which Royal Mail would issue an address to, How does BT deal with these situations? Thanks

  • Alex250175 Alex Usher (@Alex250175) reported

    Good Morning @btbusinesscare, Have sent a DM but had no response, would like to close out this fairly simple issue quickly please.

  • SteveGrange77 OriginalCrackfox (@SteveGrange77) reported

    Our Internet went off on 21st June, service finally restored on 10th July. 09:27 this morning - major service outage in the area.... Oh dear @bt_uk / @BTCare, not a great experience at all....

  • SadrniaK Keya Sadrnia (@SadrniaK) reported

    @EE/@bt_uk/@BTCare-We moved my elderly parents to Digital Voice. Now we cannot switch the voicemail feature off. Why can you not add the ability to switch this feature off, especially for the elderly? They cannot work Voicemail in the upper 80’s. Help create the ability to action

  • dr_phil_ok Phil (@dr_phil_ok) reported

    @btbusinesscare Tried this. No further forward. @WeAreOpenreach are apparently swtiching off our 300mbps service and have rolled out fibre to all but ten house in my area so the only option is a 75% downgrade. They have no idea when our sevice will be dropped, no idea when we will get fibre....

  • jane_stevens7 Jane Stevens (@jane_stevens7) reported

    @bt_uk @BTCare raised complaint with @bt_uk yesterday return call due today before 1.30pm for update…..Guess what ….. failed again to call ! Poorly run service time to cancel #nowtv #Bt #EE

    @btbusinesscare absolute **** show. Broadband and phone down since Saturday. Still no resolution. Five days days of Business lost. You are a joke.
