  • 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!

    Hey 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.

    @EdinReporter There are some horrors in Leith that could do with being removed before new expensive paving goes down @BTCare could show it cares…

  • gavsuave
    Gabhainn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gavsuave) reported from Dunfermline, Scotland

    How can teams with no money coming in from gate receipts afford to pay £80 million for a player. Far too much money coming in from @SkySports and @btsport and of course state broadcaster @BBCSport Cancel subscription to all.

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

    Hello @bt_uk broadband goodbye @virginmedia. BT fibre being installed today! Finally virgin media have got some competition in the area. I can see everyone in the area switching in the coming months due to the poor service you’ve provided everyone in Currie.

  • No7Nurgle
    Matt (@No7Nurgle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk any chance of an update on the fault in the Edinburgh area? I have already checked on the link you are about to send to me and it says no issues.

  • 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!

    @bt_uk Hi, i’m not a customer of yours, but we’ve just been delivered a tv box for someone who doesn’t live at our address?

  • shwadywaddyday
    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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • celticghirlmo

    @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 🤬🤬🤬

    Brian Thomas (@brian6211) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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?

    @bt_uk do you guys bother solving issues or just ignore customers???

    @bt_uk I’ve made a complaint already. Hopeless. Not your fault I know. CEO next then. 😬

    Hello @bt_uk and @skyuk your service really sucks. Why is it taking 30 mins to download ‘Prisoner’ when I have Halo 3 that I am paying loads of money for each month? You are pathetic 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬

  • UppaRocket
    Rocket (@UppaRocket) reported

    @bt_uk can't get into my account ever since you updated your system, so my bill is now overdue due to your issues

  • PhotogSmd
    Steve D (@PhotogSmd) reported

    @bt_uk We received a text saying there IS a problem and we should have it back today, still nothing

  • RaeRubyRaeK
    RaeRubyRae (@RaeRubyRaeK) reported

    @bt_uk Now I can’t log into the website either without giving you my mobile number? What about someone who doesn’t have a mobile number? You’re actively discriminating against people who might not be fully digital. @Ofcom stop allowing BT to pull this crap!

  • shamacentre
    Shama Women's Centre (@shamacentre) reported

    Weeks with no broadband. Multiple calls. No real help. We are a charity and people depend on reaching us. BTs failure to resolve this issue is not just inconvenient, it is putting vulnerable people at risk. We urgently need BT to take responsibility & fix this. @BTGroup @BTCare

  • SeanLlangynidr
    SeanMynyddLlangynidr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 🇵🇸 (@SeanLlangynidr) reported

    @bt_uk I must have spoken to at least a dozen guides over six weeks, spent well over 20 hours of my time listening to lie after lie after lie, and crap muzak. Being told that I have informed BT that problem has been fixed three times is sickening. I've got absolutely nowhere. I'm done.

  • VaeVix
    Vae Vix 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 (@VaeVix) reported

    @grok @bt_uk For ease of use, especially for a low risk case like that, I mean at worst hackers can pay my invoice (cool) or change my plan (less cool but of no interest to them and easily remedied), something like Google validator could be an alternative.

  • MaloneiD
    Keith (@MaloneiD) reported

    @Ofcom I have evidence BT won't let customer complaints get to 8 weeks, so they cannot be reported to the regulator. BT closed out 3 complaints I made, without reference to me. One was closed within hours of being raised. Are they permitted to do this? @bt_uk @MartinSLewis #slamming
