  • janey656 Janey (@janey656) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk why aren’t you letting customers pause BT sports like sky have. I was told I could cancel but would have to pay out the contract. Your not providing the service we signed up for so why are you still taking our money. Come on BT do the right thing! And answer our question!

  • 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.

  • fergusboden Fergus (@fergusboden) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Apparently an electricity problem has blown our area's internet and they might have to dig up the street to fix it. Anyone who knows me knows this is some of the worst news I could receive. (@bt_uk system was utterly clueless too, which was really helpful.)

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk I’m not at home I’ll do it once home I had great speeds with sky and their the worst

  • gawrjuhs [gawr-juhs] (@gawrjuhs) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btbusinesscare Hi. Are you currently experiencing an outage in central Edinburgh? My Business Hub is stuck on orange, so no WiFi connection and VOIP business phone line 😕

  • PEJ13 Perry E Jenkins (@PEJ13) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Hi. I have STILL NOT been updated as to when BT will be able to get our Broadband up and running (BT error has disconnected) - Complaint Ref VOL013-476616060803 Rgds.

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

    @bt_uk No known faults in the area but no service - Wi-fi working - phone died yesterday

  • RTPeat Richard Peat  (@RTPeat) reported from Kinghorn, Scotland

    @bt_uk How far does the major issue in Edinburgh extend? We’re on th Kinghorn exchange and our fibre has been down since 4am?

  • 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!

  • Ox13SCO BJCampbell (@Ox13SCO) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @SkyCinemaUK @NetflixUK @bt_uk @AppleTV @PrimeVideo why not give something back and provide all your services free for 3 months to help the wider community #UKTOGETHER #KILLTHEVIRUS #COVID2019

  • celticghirlmo Moira Johnstone (@celticghirlmo) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk You need to cut down on the adverts it’s ridiculous you should be ashamed charging for a channel of nothing but adverts 🤬🤬🤬

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

    Anyone else having @bt_uk internet issues in edinburgh???

  • phildalgleish phil *wash your hands* (@phildalgleish) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Brilliant @bt_uk scam, I mean poor systems. Existing BT consumer moving house to a BT serviced property. No problem; 3 days max says @bt_uk, oh, can’t find the address of other property in our system (the one they bill and provide the service to) so pay £75 as a new install.

  • Ashie_Moto Ashley Louise (@Ashie_Moto) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk The problem is that We don’t have a landline so we don’t know the number to put in and check. We ran the diagnostic through the laptop which told us we needed to call.... I gave up after spending 40 mins on hold and getting nowhere. Not very impressed tbh.

  • janey656 Janey (@janey656) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btsport BT sports need to follow Sky’s lead and let customers pause their payment UFN all I got when I phoned was it’s not our fault we’re waiting on a decision from the SFA. They said I could cancel BUT I’d have to pay to get out of the contract, Come on BT get a grip.

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

    @bt_uk So thanks to @bt_uk I owe £ 159.00 to @SSE for the cancelation of my contract. Then will leave me with no service whatsoever. It was bt that emailed me back in December to anounce I could now get fiber. I hope who ever calls tommoro is fully autherized to financially fix this.

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

    Do I even want to know how much our goverment is funding these works that @bt_uk are claiming for upgrading the network.

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

    @bt_uk Your service is still ****

  • Liam18961519 Liam (@Liam18961519) reported

    @Shann_day @bt_uk They called me childish and threatened to hang the phone up on me for asking for proof to agreeing to the contract I never agreed to. They scam you!

  • Ms_M_Taylor Mel_Pokemum (@Ms_M_Taylor) reported

    @bt_uk As I'm no longer able to use BT due to being of no fixed abode £90 is an excessive fine for those struggling. NB I was quite happy with EE TV and only took out the BT contract because EE stopped the service. It is obvious now that is because you're hand in glove with each other

  • AJPhoenix001 AJ Phoenix (@AJPhoenix001) reported

    @btsport what happened to uploading a version of WWE Raw and Smackdown with all the ad breaks cut out?

  • lucylipscakes Lisa (@lucylipscakes) reported

    @bt_uk without a doubt THE WORST company I have ever used. Ongoing issues with broadband. No internet for over a week. Engineers not turning up. Billing issues. Complaints not dealt with properly. You’ve no idea how much stress this is causing, yet you won’t let me leave

  • touche8821 J (@touche8821) reported

    My contract ends soon and I am seriously considering going back to @bt_uk. I know @GNetworkComms promises high speed, but if it’s not able to keep the service running what good does it do.

  • mdshamilton Mark Hamilton (@mdshamilton) reported

    @bt_uk I won’t hold my breath. Why does it take 3 weeks and 4 attempts to even get close to getting an appointment for full fibre? Is BT retaining customers? How do your shareholders feel about this continuing poor level of service? BT used to own Openreach.

  • froggy_will Grumpy_William (@froggy_will) reported

    @bt_uk hello. Openreach were supposed to come today to connect my bt Full Fibre. They never turned up and I took a day off for it. I never got a message that it was cancelled. Openreach are suggesting this is your issue. Can you help me get to the bottom of this?

  • JustJoeyHD #GAFam JustJoeyHD (@JustJoeyHD) reported

    @bt_uk absolutely shocking customer service. Been told got engineers coming out today been 8am-1pm. Guess what… NO SHOW! Had nothing but issues for the last 9 months. At least @SkyUK have better customer service.

  • nickbruff Nick (@nickbruff) reported

    Just been told ‘**** you’ and hung up on by a @BTCare call center work. Literally the most shocking service I’ve ever had

  • bartleb Ben 1️⃣9️⃣* (@bartleb) reported

    @bt_uk I have a fault with my BT Wi-Fi disk. When I plug in direct to router I get 100mb (should be getting 150mb) when using the disk for Wi-Fi I get 9mb sometimes 2mb. I have reset the disk and reconnected still same issue. I have done your online help still same issue
