  • LAYC2015
    LAYC (@LAYC2015) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk please help small charity who has no telephone landline and don’t understand why there’s a fault? On hold to very expensive customer service line!

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

    @bt_uk I don’t want the equipment removed, I want your customers service removed from it so I can have my service installed rather than having to have hardware pointlessly replaced. Your customer has emigrated, the service is no longer used.

  • 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

  • gongthegoalie

    @btsport it’s actually btsport 1 that I have the problem on.

  • 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!

  • MrsRouthJones
    Lesley Routh-Jones (@MrsRouthJones) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk we have just received a call from your “technical department” from number 01798 877386 who say we have issues with our broadband - I asked for further details from them about our account and the line went dead - I assume this is a spam call as that number doesn’t connect

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

  • 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!

  • karenagalloway

    @bt_uk storm outage here in eh10. Any estimate as to when we might get back online ?

  • 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

  • Gillian1971
    Gillian Macrosson (@Gillian1971) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Cold calling me at 7.50am on Saturday and 7.40am today to sell me stuff will ensure that I never sign up for your products ever again

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @bt_uk We discovered the problem Catherine. Hub was plugged into extension. @tweetclix put a new socket in the wall and seems much improved!!

  • ambermhammond
    Amber Hammond (@ambermhammond) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Bored 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 😩

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.)

  • jules878
    Julia Palmer (@jules878) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Hello. Is there a problem with @bt_uk email? I can't access. Very inconvenient. #BTEmail #Down?

    @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.

    @bt_uk Your two-factor authorisation is not working No text messages are coming through!!

  • Emma_coyne73
    Emma (@Emma_coyne73) reported

    @bt_uk My issue is not that there’s a fault it’s just the complete lack of communication to your customers considering you are a communications company. Uk power & affinity water notify us instantly if there’s an issue but we’ve not heard a thing from BT.

  • phillyonskem
    The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported

    Every time I have to contact @bt_uk about our business phones, it says webchat is the best option. And every time, without fail, after a least a half hour webchat they tell me I'll need to ring such and such a number. Absolute joke of a company to deal with.

  • TheEmperorSon
    The Emperor Son (@TheEmperorSon) reported

    Hay @EE and @bt_uk, next time you have a broadband outage can you text me that there's a problem in the area to my mobile phone about the issue? I thought there was a problem with my hub, so performed a reset and unknowingly lost all my contacts. I assumed that the numbers where stored in the handset. My fault for not reading the instructions - but because I didn't know about the broadband outage, I thought the fault was the equipment. Have now added my contacts back to the phone, which are stored in the hub.

    @bt_uk And I've missed 2 calls this afternoon due to my poor mobile signal. But no message left or any info.

  • cricketmadboxer
    Liz Grassby-Davies (@cricketmadboxer) reported

    What has happened to BT? Changed broadband and calls from Sky to BT for my 91 year old father. It has been one problem after another. Order had to be redone. Dad had no service despite needing careline. Now they want to charge £80 for a router that we sent back @bt_uk help

  • nooneatnowhere
    noone@nowhere (@nooneatnowhere) reported

    @bt_uk correct number ported back. It worked for a month and then stopped receiving calls from Vodafone, 3, Lebara and others. Now nobody is able to sort it and they refuse to let us speak to a manager. Can you help??

  • tringgooner
    Chris (@tringgooner) reported

    @bt_uk I think anyone would be unhappy don’t you? Messed around, then asked for a £20 deposit to that you will hold onto for up to 6 months. It’s a bloody disgrace. That is no way to treat any customer. And you know it.

  • dannnehhh
    dannnehhh (@dannnehhh) reported

    Hi @bt_uk I’ve not been a customer of yours for some time now, however received an SMS and email this morning from yourselves stating my speed trial is ending for my broadband is ending in 7 days. Was this an error?
