  • Keithduncan47 Keith Duncan (@Keithduncan47) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Thanks Lesley. Unfortunately the issue has been going on for over 10 years now. It’s quite frankly gone beyond a joke. To add insult to injury a new school is being built in front of me and has already have fibre installed as have all the flats around us.

  • gongthegoalie Colin Lundie (@gongthegoalie) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

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

  • SalonEvi1 Salon Evi (@SalonEvi1) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Thank you, that would be great. It has been one week and still not fix it yet. Very disappointed

  • 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 😩

  • britishbulldawg British Bulldawg (@britishbulldawg) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btsport I get that when @CollegeGameDay brakes to show footage from the Masters it’s an issue because of rights but to just start the programme again after an hour is ridiculous. Doesn’t really justify the recent price rises 😤

  • K_J_Donnelly Kathryn Donnelly (@K_J_Donnelly) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    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

  • 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

  • FrancesSincla12 Frances Sinclair (@FrancesSincla12) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Our BT Broadband went down on Wednesday morning after the storm. Told no engineer to fix until 1st September! BT that’s appalling. After decades with BT we will be changing supplier!

  • DarkblueDad Keith Guthrie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺WearingAFaceCovering (@DarkblueDad) reported from Currie, Scotland

    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

    @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?

  • 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

  • DarkblueDad Keith Guthrie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺WearingAFaceCovering (@DarkblueDad) reported from Currie, Scotland

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • padraic90 padraic 🇮🇪 (@padraic90) reported

    @wrenching_wench @bt_uk They've got a speed guarantee Katie. So if it's crap on the @bt_uk speedcheck, you can use it to get out of contract if it's persistently bad Is ther no fibre in your area? They dug up all the roads round here last year for Cityfibre (Vodafone, virgin etc).

  • Rebeccaehunt77 Rebecca Hunt (@Rebeccaehunt77) reported

    @bt_uk I dispute you’re trying to help the older generation. My father at 93 had new phones recommended by you in order to prevent scam calls. Didn’t work. And now he’s being charged for these scammers. In a world of algorithms why can’t you stop these menaces?

  • wilsondan Dan Wilson (@wilsondan) reported

    @ConnaireMcG @btsport Rest assured that a well paid BT exec trousers an eye-watering bonus for delivering on customer satisfaction!

  • ramybadr64 Rami Badr (@ramybadr64) reported

  • wilsondan Dan Wilson (@wilsondan) reported

    @ConnaireMcG @btsport Having quite frequently worked for BT over the years, many times, the issue is scale. Just too big.

  • bigcratch Andy Cratchley (@bigcratch) reported

    @btsport Would say the refs lost control but he never had it #STID

    @bt_uk Yes, it has been down since 12pm

  • JasJ_MMA Jas (@JasJ_MMA) reported

    @LeeDevlin7 @btsport Terrible.

  • crypto_99 crypto-99 (@crypto_99) reported

    @bt_uk Hey @bt_uk I've ordered monthly bt sport pass almost 2 hours ago and it's still not been activated. I'm worried I'll miss the main Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski fight can you please help me urgently?

  • KevinORourke16 Kevinor (@KevinORourke16) reported

    @ConnaireMcG @btsport Had similar issue when trying to cancel broadband. Terrible company to deal with.
