    @Roddysmith12 @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk ****, you can't even think of an original insult. Is it just too much for your 2 brain cells to cope with? Watch you don't have an aneurysm.

  • 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

    @bt_uk you were supposed to send out an 4g mobile hub but got an email saying it has not been sent! I have not had internet now for nearly a week please help!!

    Graeme Taylor (@taylor354) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk @benmols @bt_uk FTTP services down for me in the EH4 area of edinburgh. Can you confirm if this is expected. Old broadband over copper is still working via the DEAN exchange.

    @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.

    @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk Kane's penalty against Denmark was pretty **** as well yet he didn't get the backlash these players got.

  • 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?!!

  • 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.)

  • Stegadoris
    Steven Grant (@Stegadoris) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk No, I haven't. Can you provide their details? There isn't an issue with the phone lines but the recent wind up here in Edinburgh has the branches bashing of the lines, so it's only a matter of time before the branches snap the wires, hence I'm trying to take preventive measures.

  • intergeri
    Clemfandango 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@intergeri) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Roddysmith12 @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk On a rebound. Doesn't take away the fact it was a **** penalty.

  • thekconsultancy
    thekastriconsultancy (@thekconsultancy) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    appalling attitude from @bt_uk supposed final resolution manager. Stayed for third year with new contract and completely lied to by agents/no calls back as promised and last £100 - not good enough!

  • MrsRouthJones
    Lesley Routh-Jones (@MrsRouthJones) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk we have just received a call from your “technical department” from number 01798 877386 who say we have issues with our broadband - I asked for further details from them about our account and the line went dead - I assume this is a spam call as that number doesn’t connect

    @bt_uk broadband still not working in Edinburgh, is there any news on when it will be fixed?

    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.

  • AlanReeve2
    Alan Reeve (@AlanReeve2) reported

    @bt_uk I've tried calling and it doesn't connected and hangs up after a second. I am using a USA e SIM right now, could that be the price problem?

  • nwwilson
    Norman Wilson (@nwwilson) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you for that wonderful advice. I'm onto 150 as your message arrived. On hold for the past 1 hour and 2 minutes. Outstanding customer service 👏👏

  • LeeKRalph
    Lee Ralph (@LeeKRalph) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk it’s gone bad again. 11 mbps. I’m paying £52 a month for a service that isn’t holding up and it’s extremely distressing. I’ve reported the fault again but despite being told I was getting 20mbps+ after the first fault, this just isn’t the case. Please look into this.

  • liamsimo95
    liam (@liamsimo95) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity

  • Michael35427696
    Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported

    @bt_uk We are not wasting 25 -30 minutes on the phone to speak to an advisor, you have our number on the complaint, but you dont bother calling us, we are talking to a new supplier if you dont want our business after 40 years with you then fine !!

  • JakeTheScalper
    🇬🇧 (@JakeTheScalper) reported

    @bt_uk my broadband is down AND your website is down so I can’t report an outage. Such poor service no wonder everyone is moving to alt nets

    Devraj Ray (@devraaaaaj) reported

    @bt_uk Just spoken to your team, who've said I won't be connected for another 8 days. Signing up to BT Full Fibre has been a genuinely awful experience from start to...well, who knows what to. This is unending.

    @bt_uk Is there a fault on your network in the LE17 area as there is no broadband
