  • 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 🤬🤬🤬

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • 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 ****

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk No known faults in the area but no service - Wi-fi working - phone died yesterday

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • shwadywaddyday Chris Osborne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SNP #indyref2 (@shwadywaddyday) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • shwadywaddyday Chris Osborne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SNP #indyref2 (@shwadywaddyday) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Thank you, 😌I called on Monday to get some info about the early contract buy out scheme so i asked then to start a complaint.. Thanks again for emailing them. Chris

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

    @bt_uk I’m not at home I’ll do it once home I had great speeds with sky and their the worst

BT (British Telecom) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    @bt_uk I was reporting the death of my mother and wanted to cancel the broadband because my father is 94 and can’t use it. They said I would lose the number which he has had for so long. He lives alone and the phone is critical for him. I transferred the broadband to safeguard it

  • robertmcc Robert McCausland (@robertmcc) reported

    @bt_uk been trying unsuccessfully for weeks to get BT to enable my 15 BT Protect licenses. I remain restricted to 2 licenses from my old broadband package. Number of handoffs between value and tech teams with no resolution.

  • TheBadBentley Samantha Bentley (@TheBadBentley) reported

    Hey @bt_uk why is your customer service so shocking?

  • Shouty_Dave Dave 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Shouty_Dave) reported

    I'd ring and make a complaint, but you'd either cut me off, transfer me to oblivion, or just simply not act on it, so, @bt_uk @BTCare , how do lodge a formal complaint online please?

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    @bt_uk My elderly father has a landline and a bt account. He has had a broadband account with a different provider which his wife (now deceased)used. When we went to cancel it they told us we would lose the landline number that he has had for nearly 70 years. Is this correct?

  • Tonysmini Tony (@Tonysmini) reported

    @chris_rugs @bt_uk Did you speak to the engineers and ask them what the issues are? If not, their job notes should be on your fault report as it sounds like there’s a problem that needs further work they couldn’t do on the day.

  • Lucyjane1004 Lucy (@Lucyjane1004) reported

    @bt_uk It has been looked in to and is a scam. To charge someone £92 extra per month for a fixed cost service is a scam. You are taking my money to gain the interest on it and I’m making other people aware that this is nothing other than a scam.

  • Lucyjane1004 Lucy (@Lucyjane1004) reported

    @bt_uk The overpayment paid to BT will be gaining interest not passed to the customer.The credit may be shown on the BT account but it has been paid to BT and will be in their bank account gaining interest. I already raised a complaint re my own over charges now raising awareness #OfCom

  • DylanMansfield6 Dylan Mansfield (@DylanMansfield6) reported

    @bt_uk wow yesterday I rang BT to complain about overcharges and was told the systems were down and they would ring me back, well nearly 24hours later am still waiting. Worse customer service ever, how do they stay-in business, virgin media here I come!!
