Graeme Taylor (@taylor354) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@bt_uk @benmols @bt_uk FTTP services down for me in the EH4 area of edinburgh. Can you confirm if this is expected. Old broadband over copper is still working via the DEAN exchange.
-
Amber Hammond (@ambermhammond) reported from Edinburgh, ScotlandBored of being fobbed off @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp No WiFi since December 18th, consistently promised fix dates and still no resolve. Escalated again today, no one will contact us till next week - promed today it would be fixed. If you're in Edinburgh just go with @virginmedia 😩
-
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.
-
Brian Thomas (@brian6211) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@bt_uk No the issue wasn’t resolved. I answered the call within a few seconds but they hung up right away and made no attempt to call again. If you have an hour or so, read the notes. Utterly appalling. I am expecting 2 callbacks today but not holding my breath. @ThomasDuecke @Ofcom

[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 😕
-
Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, ScotlandFinally 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!
-
Chris Osborne 🏴 #SNP #indyref2 (@shwadywaddyday) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@bt_uk I would if BT could do the job claimed. My fibre should have been active on the 9th Jan. I was told some BS about the routing route of the cables not as expected. Yet I know the fibre line is all set up and connected to the exchange now. . I've waited 7+ years Di I need to cancel
-
Avantika (@maryjanesdesk) reported from Edinburgh, ScotlandHave 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?!!
-
Colin Norman Wright (@TheCocoAnarchy) reported from Edinburgh, ScotlandHey folks. Just to let you know that the following number, 02039665726 is poising as BT (@bt_uk) but it is a cold call scam. Hang up, block & report.
-
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.
-
Steven Grant (@Stegadoris) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@bt_uk No, I haven't. Can you provide their details? There isn't an issue with the phone lines but the recent wind up here in Edinburgh has the branches bashing of the lines, so it's only a matter of time before the branches snap the wires, hence I'm trying to take preventive measures.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Mikey Inglis (@MikeyInglis) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@btsport why do you cut out all promotion content, even for @WWENetwork, with your annoying logo and music. No need for it and disturbs the flow of the programme.
-
phil *wash your hands* (@phildalgleish) reported from Edinburgh, ScotlandBrilliant @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.
-
Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@stevegoodman @bt_uk @virginmedia I’ve given up on VM they’ve been the only fibre in the area for years and their service has gone from ok to bad to worse. Working from home was proving challenging. Teams would always say poor network quality

Shafay (@Shafacakes1) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland@bt_uk broadband still not working in Edinburgh, is there any news on when it will be fixed?
-
Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, ScotlandSurprise surprise @virginmedia is down, again! apparently it’s for upgrades, Got cut off whilst on the phone sorting out leaving them! Now in the process of ordering up my @bt_uk FttP
-
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!

JanetM. (Monarchist) (@Cilvrnum) reported@bt_uk No la ndline for 12 hrs and Busy message on mobile device. Id BT rolling out a new service. Hub has a yellow dot.
-
𝙲𝚊𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚡𝚎𝚛 (@catallaxer) reported@omotforest @bt_uk @openreach Fully accept your point. However, you are missing out. 1 gigabit+ speeds really are worth it. 2.5 gigabit is next. You will never get that over copper or satellite. Copper is being phased out.
-
Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported@bt_uk @arthur_mp after an hour on hold they said they had an issue and would fix in 72 hours - it’s been a week and now they aren’t answering
-
Holly ®️ (@tctantan) reported from Exeter, EnglandAlmost a yr after i left...and im still getting emails and texts from @bt_uk telling me my bill is ready .. plus they never paid me the money they owed me #BT #EE make it stop
-
Darren Lloyd (@darrenglloyd) reported@bt_uk can you provide best contact to make a complaint please. I am not a customer, however I am concerned about a recent upselling tactic with my elderly vulnerable aunt when she phoned regarding a line issue.
-
Gizmo (@Gizmo83508413) reported@bt_uk Does it on multiple browsers and devices. Look like the website has a problem, rather than me. As it’s your website maybe you should be contacting the technical team? Just a thought, like

Jac Dee 🇺🇦 (@Jacsplace3) reportedDear @bt_uk We switched to @EE home broadband 2 months ago and it's been awful since. We're now paying for two bills. Customer service think we switched in September 2025 - incorrect. Today we have no broadband Goodness sake the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
-
Rhonda 💙 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@rhondawainman) reported@bt_uk Tried that and the customer service agents kept cutting me off. Waste of bloody time.
-
Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported@bt_uk you then went onto confirm to refuse to cancel the Digital Voice appointment even though your records show the telecare equipment hasn’t been upgraded yet and that the notes say I’ll be in touch when it is. Rep went on to say we might be left without a line, like a threat
