    @ThomasDuecke just thought you should know that I’m experiencing appalling customer service from @bt_uk and despite almost 10 hours complaining, am still no further forward. Can you please help as I’m at my wits end?

  • andrew_kemp
    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    All the old @virginmedia equipment has been disconnected and unplugged! It’s been like night and day getting @bt_uk #fttp installed, so far 10 families in my street have moved away from VM... that’s what you get for poor customer service

    @bt_uk did the storm last night take down #broadband in #Edinburgh If so when will it be back?

  • K_J_Donnelly
    Kathryn Donnelly (@K_J_Donnelly) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk this is day 5 of no broadband in #EH4 #Edinburgh. Please can someone fix it soon

  • shwadywaddyday
    Chris Osborne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SNP #indyref2 (@shwadywaddyday) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Thanks I guess only time will tell with that. Incompetence from 7 days prior to instal on 10th Jan, and now just over 3 weeks since then. The visit before install should have addressed all these issues. Prior to changing me to a more expensive service. I want the equipment out.

    British Bulldawg (@britishbulldawg) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btsport I get that when @CollegeGameDay brakes to show footage from the Masters it’s an issue because of rights but to just start the programme again after an hour is ridiculous. Doesn’t really justify the recent price rises 😤

  • MrSifter_
    Marky ™ (@MrSifter_) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Your service is still ****

  • maryjanesdesk
    Avantika (@maryjanesdesk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Have been trying to get broadband sorted since we moved over a MONTH ago and between the innumerable errors made by @bt_uk and apparent issues with Openreach's systems I am at my wits end...how do you not inform the provider / the customer if you aren't going to turn up?!!

  • craighk93

    @bt_uk @AIridag with plusnet and I am the same, not working

  • paulgreig6
    Paul Greig (@paulgreig6) reported from East Calder, Scotland

    @bt_uk absolute shambles of a service. Sat on hold for 29mins to then be cut off because your call hours are from 8am-9pm. I called within that time. Broadband setup has been absolutely shocking from Openreach install, product delivery & now setup. Get me on DM or phone ASAP!

    @bt_uk Thank you, that would be great. It has been one week and still not fix it yet. Very disappointed

  • andrew_kemp
    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    Finally some competition to @virginmedia ‘a shocking internet service in my area! @bt_uk are finally doing #FttP been a long time coming... 14 years of mediocre internet service soon coming to an end!

  • thekconsultancy
    thekastriconsultancy (@thekconsultancy) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    appalling attitude from @bt_uk supposed final resolution manager. Stayed for third year with new contract and completely lied to by agents/no calls back as promised and last £100 - not good enough!

  • Keithduncan47
    Keith Duncan (@Keithduncan47) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Thanks Lesley. Unfortunately the issue has been going on for over 10 years now. It’s quite frankly gone beyond a joke. To add insult to injury a new school is being built in front of me and has already have fibre installed as have all the flats around us.

  • karenagalloway
    Karen A Galloway (@karenagalloway) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk In which case I need to report our broadband is down.

  • K_J_Donnelly
    Kathryn Donnelly (@K_J_Donnelly) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Absolutely ridiculous @bt_uk that you expect customers to accept not having broadband for 8 days whilst @scotgov ask us to #WFH without any complaint. #EH4 #Stockbridge

  • andrew_kemp
    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    @MakeDigitalWork @virginmedia I feel your pain! They provide such a poor service, with poor equipment and poor support. Holding them in breach of contract now as they are not providing what I am paying them for, cancelling and getting fttp with @bt_uk installed in 2 weeks

  • baldy100
    Gregg Aston (@baldy100) reported from Gorebridge, Scotland

    @bt_uk Disappointing service again from BT. Nothing but hassle from the start and terrible coverage from router. 21 days since complaint email has been sent which has gone unanswered. Called today and found very unhelpful and only interested in selling further products. Avoid.

    @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk Kane's penalty against Denmark was pretty **** as well yet he didn't get the backlash these players got.

  • shaunburnett
    Shaun Burnett (@shaunburnett) reported

    @btbusinesscare Once again I find myself wasting valuable time trying to sort an issue. Your advisers won't talk to me because they say my account name is wrong - it isn't I'm looking at a bill! I want to take all our lines services somewhere else!!!!

  • nicolawenman
    Nicola Wenman (@nicolawenman) reported

    @btbusinesscare hi all - are there broadband outages today SO52 area? Our offices are reporting the internet down so all employees have left. I need to know if this is a known issue or a localised issue. I have logged online and the website isn’t working where you check status?

  • jorgeosbo
    liverpoolsnumber9 (@jorgeosbo) reported

    @btbusinesscare why do your staff keep lying to me ? Why does it take 5 months to get ecc charges set out. Customer care is disgraceful . How difficult must it be to speak to someone who has authority to tell me what is going on. Answer =impossible

  • melindiscott
    Melindi Scott (@melindiscott) reported

    @bassetnormand @clarescastle @btbusinesscare It's a shame because they had a lot of inbuilt loyalty just because so many of us started off with BT and have never seen cause to change. 30 years is a long run but they did absolutely nothing to try and keep our business

  • simonjbowler
    Simon Bowler (@simonjbowler) reported

    @bt_uk Perhaps you could read the message I sent ans acknowledge that your chat service and account access aren't working for one of your customers. To be honest, that would resonate better than inviting me to spend an hour on the phone for a 5 minute issue.

  • FranPlimmer
    Francesca Plimmer (@FranPlimmer) reported

    @btbusinesscare what was the point in sending the 4G box when it was never going to work. Maybe escalate the complaint to Openreach and get this sorted.

  • Farrowmagic
    Andrew Farrow (@Farrowmagic) reported

    @btbusinesscare Any absolute shambles of a business.. No one taking any responsibility, complaint still going since June 24th !!! 5 months…

  • thereal_JOC
    John O'Connor (@thereal_JOC) reported

    @bt_uk Still no joy. Using both my phone and a desktop. Same issues persists. Happy to keep my existing appointment date but slightly annoying. I’ve made a note of your number, but perhaps this is an issue that needs looking at in the background as well.

  • HounslowParking
    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk Please can you tell me why your service is so useless? You've forced us to switch over from copper to fibre, but then you haven't made the actual switch and just thought its easier to charge us for both services. Your staff are utterly clueless and inept. #btareuseless
