    @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.

    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

    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.

    @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

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

  • shwadywaddyday
    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.

  • maryjanesdesk
    Avantika (@maryjanesdesk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Have been trying to get broadband sorted since we moved over a MONTH ago and between the innumerable errors made by @bt_uk and apparent issues with Openreach's systems I am at my wits end...how do you not inform the provider / the customer if you aren't going to turn up?!!

  • 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.)

  • 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

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

  • 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.

    @Bobfryer5 @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk He scored on the rebound. If he hadn't you'd all be talking about his **** penalty. My word, you idiots are thick.

    Hello. Is there a problem with @bt_uk email? I can't access. Very inconvenient. #BTEmail #Down?

    Surprise surprise @virginmedia is down, again! apparently it’s for upgrades, Got cut off whilst on the phone sorting out leaving them! Now in the process of ordering up my @bt_uk FttP

  • TwtrMinstrel

    @btsport The worst customer service. Left me hanging until 9 pm then hung up. Problem unresolved

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    @bt_uk haha you are joking aren't you? The lines are only answered 8am-9pm Monday to Friday even though you complete migrations over the weekend now with what seems minimally trained staff and no support.

  • grantjarvis666
    JARVIS (@grantjarvis666) reported

    @bt_uk I have had possibly the worst internet from you over the past 4 years! I pay for 950mb and barely get 130mbps on a good day. Fobbed off every time I speak to customer service. Never again

  • GalanthusA
    Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported

    @scubashark45 @bt_uk Unless you are happy to be without access to emails for hours (like today) I wouldn't recommend the switch. BT used to be good and worth paying extra for but not now. Been trouble since their EE merger and the fibre roll out.

  • puddles46
    uılʞuɐɹℲ (@puddles46) reported

    @bt_uk I'm not phoning again. I've had two complaints open both closed with no contact. Genuinely what is the point of calling. You will log a complaint again and then ignore me again. Genuinely the worst company I've ever dealt with

  • AgainstInsulate
    north east street art (@AgainstInsulate) reported

    @skytv I'm stuck in contract with @bt_uk until September for tv and internet i want out can you help? I also want 3 Sim only 30 day rolling contracts. Let's make a deal @skytv

  • Robswanney
    Robbie Swanson (@Robswanney) reported

    @btbusinesscare I need someone to get in touch please. Really not happy with the customer service we have received. Our broadband has been off now for over 2 weeks. You have closed the fault off as complete, when nobody attended despite you promising to come to the premises.

  • welshshez81
    welshshez (@welshshez81) reported

    @bt_uk Nothing was sorted only just got off from speaking to your advisor. Sort that app of yours out it's broken more than It works

  • markie_sumark
    Markie_mark (@markie_sumark) reported

    Terrible experience again from BT Business. Without Landline now for 5 days and counting. Can’t receive calls from customers or make calls. Why is it so difficult? @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness

  • vcotton21
    Vicki (@vcotton21) reported

    @bt_uk Taken out new broadband with you last Friday and I’ve had nothing but trouble since connecting some of my devices & wifi frequently dropping out, previous Sky broadband handled it fine. Can’t log into my account, really unhappy. Do I have a 14day cooling off period?

  • smeemartin
    MartinⓂ VOTE FOR CHANGE (@smeemartin) reported

    Day 364 with no broadband , @bt_uk still can’t be arsed to provide any actual service, just what passes for customer service these days, a useless AI pathetic response.
