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

  • 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!

  • chrishighcock Chris Highcock (@chrishighcock) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk did the storm last night take down #broadband in #Edinburgh If so when will it be back?

  • taylor354 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.

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk is there a problem with broadband supply in EH4 Comely Bank Edinburgh? Can’t get through on the phone line and has been down since early am.

  • RTPeat Richard Peat  (@RTPeat) reported from Kinghorn, Scotland

  • 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.

  • No7Nurgle Matt (@No7Nurgle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk any chance of an update on the fault in the Edinburgh area? I have already checked on the link you are about to send to me and it says no issues.

  • hazystew Sin-i-sister (@hazystew) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

  • 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

  • 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.

  • gawrjuhs [gawr-juhs] (@gawrjuhs) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Hello, BT here. We're sorry but there was a problem with your recent order so we've had to cancel it. We're working to put this right and will get in touch once we've placed a new order. Thanks.

  • afcbuddy ▁ ▂ ▄ ⛔️ Ⓑⓤⓓⓩ ⛔️ ▄ ▂ ▁ (@afcbuddy) reported

    @bt_uk I got a call from a mobile number saying their from BT and wanted to discuss the service you provide me. 1) whys a mobile number 2) there isn't a 2 but he started mumbling about special offers before I disconnected is this a legitimate call or was I correct to disconnect

  • kellypreedy Kelly Preedy 💫 (@kellypreedy) reported

    New record. 1 hour and 23 minutes on the phone to @bt_uk need a lie down now.

  • J_10211295 J (@J_10211295) reported

    @bt_uk So I ordered it for the new house as we were with Virgin at our previous house, I was told to cancel that order and in 24 hrs order again but at our previous house that we was living in at the time

  • arthuresson1 Arthur Esson (@arthuresson1) reported

    @bt_uk Ive been on the phone to BT for over one hour and 50 minutes trying to resolve a simple change of supplier to Vodafone. Bread and butter business. Turns out no one has cancelled BT account even though I'm fully connected to Vodafone. Help

  • tarara42 Tara (@tarara42) reported

    @btbusinesscare I called again today and it was just as bad. I’ve got a complaint in so don’t know if it is worth messaging you as well?

  • jennyurquhart Jenny Urquhart (@jennyurquhart) reported

    @bt_uk I hope so. I really do. Its been a total nightmare..and if the cause of our issue is that a cable has been chopped/disturbed due to trimming ivy on Wednesday it surely could have been fixed earlier

  • Ak1Shah Aki shah (@Ak1Shah) reported

    @bt_uk 1 bt person is telling me the Openreach ONT is registered and ready for service. another is telling me its not after 2 weeks of going through this with yourselves its fustrating that actually no one knows what's going on

  • J_10211295 J (@J_10211295) reported

    @bt_uk The previous owners had BT TV and EE phone and broadband I don't understand the problem with it all, Virgin had it done in our old property within days of us moving in and that was years ago. Everyone is having to use their own data Inc my son who works from home

  • Ak1Shah Aki shah (@Ak1Shah) reported

    @bt_uk complete shambles. "we connect for good" but can't even communicate amongst your own customer service.. PLEASE DM ME.
