    @bt_uk That is the problem! Where do I find my landline number?

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

    All the old @virginmedia equipment has been disconnected and unplugged! It’s been like night and day getting @bt_uk #fttp installed, so far 10 families in my street have moved away from VM... that’s what you get for poor customer service

  • 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!

  • 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.

    @tamkelly1980 @btsportfootball @btsport @RangersFC @darrellcurrietv @EuropaLeague Are you at the windup or are you really that stupid

  • 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!

  • DarkblueDad

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

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

    @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.

    Why is @btsport app and skyQ app so ******* shit

  • 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

  • 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!

  • jules878
    jules878 🕷♦️🚴‍♀️🍷🦢 (@jules878) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    If anyone sent me an email between 5pm and midnight yesterday I didn't receive it. @bt_uk email was down for the 2nd time in a month, and all emails during this period were eaten by a @bt_uk and @YahooCare shaped black hole. #FedUpWithBTandYahoo #Unreliable

  • andrew_kemp
    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!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

    @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!

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

    @bt_uk We discovered the problem Catherine. Hub was plugged into extension. @tweetclix put a new socket in the wall and seems much improved!!

  • LAYC2015
    LAYC (@LAYC2015) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk please help small charity who has no telephone landline and don’t understand why there’s a fault? On hold to very expensive customer service line!

  • 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.

    @bt_uk no broadband. Phone just direct to visual service which doesn’t work. Broadband test fails. NEED TO WORK

  • IQuitMuskspace
    Mark Haynes (@IQuitMuskspace) reported

    .@bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach WHAT A SHAMBOLIC BUNCH OF HAPLESS BUFFOONS YOU ARE. ALL I WANT IS RAMS AHEAD OF AN INSTALL AS YOU GOT IT WRONG LAST TIME. THEY HAVE BEEN PROMISED BUT NEVER DELIVERED. YOUR 'GUIDES' LIE TO CUSTOMERS. I HAVE EVIDENCE.

  • thereal_JOC
    John O'Connor (@thereal_JOC) reported

    @bt_uk Still no joy. Using both my phone and a desktop. Same issues persists. Happy to keep my existing appointment date but slightly annoying. I’ve made a note of your number, but perhaps this is an issue that needs looking at in the background as well.

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @bt_uk @simboman Hey @bt_uk Spoke to BT 'Guide' this morning & said I wanted to log complaint about this account info being available. Rec'd email confirming that at 09:46 & at 09:48 another email to say complaint closed. Does this require escalating to Allison Kirkby's office to be resolved?

  • apex_signs1
    Apex Signs (@apex_signs1) reported

    @btbusinesscare I’ve just tried WhatsApp and the same issue. No response. Is there a phone number to actually speak to a human ??? 🤬🤷🏻. I’m being threatened with legal action over an account I closed months ago and I cannot speak to someone ??? Your robot doesn’t understand!! 😱😱

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @bt_uk @simboman The BT Guides are telling me that this problem, logging into account, is a known issue and @BT_UK are working to resolve it. I note Allison Kirkby is going to retrieve the battered BT brand. Good luck Allison.

    @bt_uk absolute crass service you guys have, I have been trying to get a broadband installed for the past 01 month but not getting any update from you guys. Absolutely pathetic service
