    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.)

    @MikeyRuddick @btsportfootball @HibernianFC @btsport @sunsetandvine Just read that. To be honest, he’s never a League 1-level player. I move would be good for him. He would to say no to Celtic.

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

  • 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.

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

    New @bt_uk #fttp been in for a few days... what have I noticed so far, no drop outs, Wi-fi calling working decent internet speeds and general decent service unlike @virginmedia

  • andrew_kemp
    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

  • 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

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

    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    @CloudDamo @virginmedia @bt_uk Simple thing had a good service been provided I’d not want to leave. But virgin media cannot even do that, so not thinking about leaving I am!

    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.

    @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 🤬🤬🤬

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 When will you make the effort and flipping find out what’s wrong with our internet so we don’t have to sit using 4g because your internet STILL doesn’t work. I’m sick to death with you brushing it under the carpet saying it’s nothing, WE CAN SEE IT’S BROKEN

  • nutmegnige
    Nigel (@nutmegnige) reported

    @btbusinesscare @BTnocare So @btbusinesscare I slightly got my dates wrong. Unsurprising given the frustration I have! But Manashi’s update today is ‘still no update’. You have until 6th Jan before I make a final decision on this appalling level of ‘service’

  • WhoStu
    Stuart Lauchlan (@WhoStu) reported

    @tobiasgavin @BTCare This is @BTCare who once told me - on the record - that broadband is not a utility...and never will be. Certainly won't be under this shower

  • Laura_Isabella4
    Laura Mackie (@Laura_Isabella4) reported

    @bt_uk How can you seriously justify 3 months from order date to installation of broadband when we currently do not have any broadband in our new home? You cancelled our order in error at your end and we are now being punished for it! Sick of being fobbed off by customer services

  • hotwings1986
    Matthew Watkins (@hotwings1986) reported

    @bt_uk customer service has to be up there with the worst around. Most difficult part of moving house has been speaking to them every week for the last 10 weeks. And still not sorted.

  • H_O_R_R_O_R
    Disturbed in Silence (@H_O_R_R_O_R) reported

    @bt_uk No, ive not called. I would assume BT could help (without having to call them). Isnt there a way to check where your masts are located?

  • Jason56191247
    Jason (@Jason56191247) reported

    @btsport fraud on my account and BT Sport cannot even respond after countless attempts to get help. I can see other people’s personal details on my account! Who is in charge @btsport ? Anyone else had this?

  • craig_wilko06
    Craig Wilkinson (@craig_wilko06) reported

    @bt_uk been trying to discuss my final bill on the phone for over an hour. Been passed through to 4 different people and then eventually just got the phone put down on me. Poor customer service

  • Jason56191247
    Jason (@Jason56191247) reported

    @bt_uk I called so many times and was transferred backwards and forwards over a few hours. Each time that person said that they could not help but would transfer me. Same happened with fraud Dept. They said they could not help me and it would need to be customer services. Please help

  • JoshFScott1995
    Josh (@JoshFScott1995) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there. My services were supposed to be connected today, but I'm still waiting after almost 24 hours. I don't understand what the problem is.
