    @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.

    Hey folks. Just to let you know that the following number, 02039665726 is poising as BT (@bt_uk) but it is a cold call scam. Hang up, block & report.

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

  • Katerinaaah
    Katerina (@Katerinaaah) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk It was a copper line, changed to digital voice. We have been told categorically that the number cannot be transferred. Are you sure you can help with this?

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

  • 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

    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?

  • _SmithChris
    Chris Smith1️⃣9️⃣⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@_SmithChris) reported from Kirkcaldy, Scotland

    Can someone at @btsport please replay the incident and show us where the head knock is, there isn't one. He is trying to get away with one

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    @CloudDamo @virginmedia @bt_uk Simple thing had a good service been provided I’d not want to leave. But virgin media cannot even do that, so not thinking about leaving I am!

    @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.

    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

    @btsport have to say your trackside mikes are trash! Get it better guys!! Could not hear Chilwell, cannot hear Tuchel!! Poor quality.....

  • andrew_kemp
    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    Hello @bt_uk broadband goodbye @virginmedia. BT fibre being installed today! Finally virgin media have got some competition in the area. I can see everyone in the area switching in the coming months due to the poor service you’ve provided everyone in Currie.

  • gavsuave
    Gabhainn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gavsuave) reported from Dunfermline, Scotland

    How can teams with no money coming in from gate receipts afford to pay £80 million for a player. Far too much money coming in from @SkySports and @btsport and of course state broadcaster @BBCSport Cancel subscription to all.

    @bt_uk @MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis Why are you so aggravatingly poor at communicating and dealing with people who are made to use your services? Not choose, made.

  • CribbyYoungs
    Cribby Youngs (@CribbyYoungs) reported

    @bt_uk Would it be courteous to advise a customer & resident of planned work installation outside of home......? No letters or planning leaflet in area..

  • ChemTeachCGO
    Craig Goddard (@ChemTeachCGO) reported

    @bt_uk It seems that since it moved to HBO Max, this is no longer the case & is now baked into my contract alongside broadband. I don't recall at any time being asked about this & I have always understood it to be a rolling commitment. Please explain this situation and how I can cancel.

  • iMcKenzied
    (((Ian McKenzie))) 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇬🇱 (@iMcKenzied) reported

    Huge disappointment with @bt_uk today. I had a Post Office phone line in 1978 which became BT in 1982. I’ve never considered switching away. I moved last year with about 6 weeks interregnum. I’m moving again and am told I have to pay £73 early termination! So I’m done with BT, me

  • leedvnprt
    lee davenport (@leedvnprt) reported

    @bt_uk I can't phone any bt number because the automated service doesn't put me through to an actual person, it just says that my service has been restricted and I need to pay. I will not be paying because it was supposed to have been. Cancelled on the 8th of June!

  • CSI_Pete
    Pete Wright (@CSI_Pete) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. Is the offer to upgrade my broadband for £1 a scam? The “checkout broadband “ only button doesn’t work unless I alter my tv package which then starts a new 24 month contract. Seems everyone has the same issue. Seems a con to me then.

  • LoftusRogue
    Loftus Rogue (@LoftusRogue) reported

    Moved into a new flat. I’d had trouble with my @bt_uk Wi-Fi in the old place, so this time I thought: let’s pop do it properly. I upgraded to a more expensive Full Fibre package. Foolproof.

    CharlieM (@camawds) reported

    @leonburton @btbusinesscare BT are an abomination. I will never use them again. Horrible company using sharp practice in every area. There are plenty of decent local telecoms specialists that are small and user friendly.

  • dkeight
    David Keight (@dkeight) reported

    @bt_uk We are currently leaving BT business contract after being a customer for decades. The last straw was a botched order for fibre broadband ending with a case via Ofcom, and our move to another supplier. BT then closed our account and appear to have blocked our online a/c
