  • janey656 Janey (@janey656) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btsport BT sports need to follow Sky’s lead and let customers pause their payment UFN all I got when I phoned was it’s not our fault we’re waiting on a decision from the SFA. They said I could cancel BUT I’d have to pay to get out of the contract, Come on BT get a grip.

  • chrishighcock Chris Highcock (@chrishighcock) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk did the storm last night take down #broadband in #Edinburgh If so when will it be back?

  • phildalgleish phil *wash your hands* (@phildalgleish) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Brilliant @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.

  • celticghirlmo Moira Johnstone (@celticghirlmo) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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 🤬🤬🤬

  • PEJ13 Perry E Jenkins (@PEJ13) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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.

  • baldy100 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.

  • 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!

  • gawrjuhs [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 😕

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

    @bt_uk In which case I need to report our broadband is down.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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

  • MrSifter_ Marky ™ (@MrSifter_) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Your service is still ****

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Simms58 deborah simms (@Simms58) reported

    @bt_uk And why have BT refused to send a 4G dongle when we have no service for this length of time. Not even an attempt at any service recovery

  • eserge01 S 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒍 (@eserge01) reported

    @btbusinesscare Can you fix your crummy service please, the speed is never constant and the internet cuts out too frequently and I only signed up 3 months ago. In addition the signal strength from the hub is not good and Vodafone’s old hub that i had 5 years ago was better

  • PeteLomasPi Pete Lomas (@PeteLomasPi) reported

    @andysc @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp Since they are eventually (I hope) going to need to come out to fix it - why not just ask you where you are and come and fix it. How hard can it be (very it seems).

  • greg9rovers Greg Wallace (@greg9rovers) reported

    @bt_uk No faults listed. No internet connection. Every colour under the rainbow, both still and flashing. The only colour missing is a blue solid one. (Mainly flashing purple and then orange). Prices went up, service went down. Zero surprises there.

  • volatilecherry Jo (@volatilecherry) reported

    @bt_uk it's now been 2 years you've been sending me messages about someone else's services, engineer visits and service disruptions. I've called to tell you, twice. I can't imagine how pissed off the other person is, for not getting the messages they're expecting. Sort it out.

  • RooPritchard Ruairidh (@RooPritchard) reported

    Hate to moan about companies on here, but after five engineer visits over the past 10 months, I am still having an absolute nightmare with my @bt_uk broadband. 50 drops in services in May. Still no solution. Sixth engineer visit booked for Monday, and my patience is all but lost

  • omercayir1 Ömz (@omercayir1) reported

    @TerryWhenman @bt_uk am having the same problem too

  • jocarter28 Jo Carter (@jocarter28) reported

    @bt_uk How do i make a complaint about an engineer who claims to have visited and never did.

  • VIC_Bright_eyes Victoria Lawson (@VIC_Bright_eyes) reported

    @BTCare @EE I’ve been loyal BT customer & never had a problem,UNTIL they change you to EE! 5 days now and STILL waiting for my number to port over. I’ve lost business and other important calls. This is shocking customer service!! Still waiting…

  • greg9rovers Greg Wallace (@greg9rovers) reported

    @MerKittea @SkyUK @bt_uk Go with Sky. BT down.. AGAIN. It drops more often than Mo Salah
