    Absolutely ridiculous @bt_uk that you expect customers to accept not having broadband for 8 days whilst @scotgov ask us to #WFH without any complaint. #EH4 #Stockbridge

  • 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 😩

    Absolutely pathetic from @SkySports. Don’t give a shit about any of the other home nations. Gutted @btsport hs lost the rights to the spfl.

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

    @OpenreachHelp Hi Dan, there is no service in their new house as they’ve emigrated - the @bt_uk service is sitting unused. It seems absolutely ludicrous to replace the ONT with a 4 port for a property that only needs 1 FTTP service because of a BT admin issue!

    @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

    Is there a @bt_uk problem in Peterhead currently. Asking for mother-in-law who has no dial tone. AB42 1GE

  • brian6211
    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

  • MikeyInglis
    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.

    @bt_uk is there any update on when Edinburgh will be back online? I can’t work so it’s an issue!

    @btsport your coverage, excusing and support of Vunipola today was a disgrace. But hey, sports first, eh and let's ignore the rest.

  • LAYC2015

    @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!

  • brian6211
    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 Your service is still ****

  • richardriddell
    richard riddell (@richardriddell) reported from Newtongrange, Scotland

    C'mon @bt_uk waiting for an engineer to show up today to sort out your terrible service.what a surprise no-one has turned up.Even the ee box you sent is hopeless

  • DarkblueDad

    @bt_uk Found out it was an issue with cordless phone not hanging up!

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Ernesto (@ernestohegi) reported

    @bt_uk hello, I've been having the same issue with my broadband connection for three weeks and it's still not solved, an engineer came today and said it's a problem with the line, the problem is still not solved, is there anything you can do about it?

  • SemiEssessi
    Sem Essessi (@SemiEssessi) reported

    @bt_uk why do you keep calling my business partner whose phone number was never part of this account? why are you so awful? i can tell from the first word of your customer service automated broken that you are screwing up your business. a few more words and its even worse.

  • ladylittler
    Karen: “I identify as a Goddess 👑” Totes Bonafido (@ladylittler) reported

    @riprap1 Haha! The worst thing was you can no longer talk to anyone @bt_uk How they expect you to log on with no internet….Had to use my phone as a hotspot! Remember the good old days of it’s good to talk!

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    @NorthernPeasant @bt_uk Are you sure someone isn't applying for a service in your name, maybe even a mobile phone?

  • Epsom1780
    GerryC🏇🏾 (@Epsom1780) reported

    @bt_uk please, please when will Openreach fix the cable damage that has affected residents in Grange Estate, Church Crookham! We’ve had no landline or internet for a week now! Residents are phoning their suppliers, but are having no updates! This is getting beyond silly!!!!

  • Dustfuch1
    Dustfuch (@Dustfuch1) reported

    @bt_uk please tell your call handlers to stop the hard sell once youve asked to leave. 4 times i had to tell them to stop trying to sell me things, and they still kept me on hold and transferred me to a "manager" to let me cancel. Frustrating isnt strong enough

  • LillithVexx
    LillithVexx (@LillithVexx) reported

    @bt_uk I was hoping to chat online because my phone is playing up right now but there is no way of talking to anyone. I just want to manage my bloody hub but BT gave me a stupid EE hub so now I can't use the My BT app or the EE app to manage it???
