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

    @bt_uk I don’t want the equipment removed, I want your customers service removed from it so I can have my service installed rather than having to have hardware pointlessly replaced. Your customer has emigrated, the service is no longer used.

    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.

    @stevegoodman @bt_uk @virginmedia I’ve given up on VM they’ve been the only fibre in the area for years and their service has gone from ok to bad to worse. Working from home was proving challenging. Teams would always say poor network quality

    Hello. Is there a problem with @bt_uk email? I can't access. Very inconvenient. #BTEmail #Down?

    @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!

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

    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

    British Bulldawg (@britishbulldawg) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btsport I get that when @CollegeGameDay brakes to show footage from the Masters it’s an issue because of rights but to just start the programme again after an hour is ridiculous. Doesn’t really justify the recent price rises 😤

  • chrisdonia
    Chris Scott (@chrisdonia) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @FinlayMcF @bt_uk The two next to Tupiniquim on Lauriston Place are in slightly better repair but are mostly used for drug deals and emergency toilet situations 😕

  • 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.

  • 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

    @knackersakki @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk So I've had replies saying he got lots of critisism and others saying he got none as all that mattered was that he scored. How badly he took the penalty has no bearing on anything. Comes across like there's a section of fans who don't support the team unless they're winning.

    @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.

    C'mon @bt_uk waiting for an engineer to show up today to sort out your terrible service.what a surprise no-one has turned up.Even the ee box you sent is hopeless

  • gongthegoalie
    Colin Lundie (@gongthegoalie) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @btsport it’s actually btsport 1 that I have the problem on.

  • 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!

  • 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!

    @bt_uk Im hard if hearing so cannot phone as have difficulty in understanding. Have you got an email address so I can put in an official complaint. You insist I return equipment i didn't need or want. You promised a returns bag would be put in with the new hub and it wasnt.

  • kcovophoto
    Kristen Covo (@kcovophoto) reported

    @bt_uk Your engineer came on Tuesday but couldn’t fix the problem as I needed a new router - which for some reason he didn’t have. A new one was ordered but now 2 days later no sign of it! What kind of service is that?

  • TabletScience
    Tablet Science (@TabletScience) reported

    @bt_uk I can't get access to my btinternet email account and there is absolutely no way to contact BT. Every way they give to contact them doesn't work. Can't phone, can't text, can't email. How can I force BT to pay attention? Offer to buy something from them?

  • jonbarnes10
    Jon Barnes (@jonbarnes10) reported

    @bt_uk you app, your website and your twitter account is useless. Dont bother having a twitter account if your answer to “my app is not allowing me to make purchases” is to download the app is the epitome of your customer service

  • _JoshDenham
    Josh (@_JoshDenham) reported

    Hi guys, is there any reason why my Broadband Hub won't connect this evening? I've tried the usual off and on again, factory reset but no connection whatsoever! Please help? @bt_uk

  • ernestohegi
    Ernesto (@ernestohegi) reported

    @bt_uk hello, I've been having the same issue with my broadband connection for three weeks and it's still not solved, an engineer came today and said it's a problem with the line, the problem is still not solved, is there anything you can do about it?

  • sundaygirl851
    Claire🌹 (@sundaygirl851) reported

    @bt_uk I know but he's put off by getting nowhere recently and i am not at home with him. What else could be a problem? He has tried putting new bt SIM in and turning phone on/off but no joy.

    @ladylittler @bt_uk We had a longish power cut and lost Internet and landlines (bring back pre digital voice). Mobile on Tesco(O2), so non-existent 4g/5g signal. Would need to drive 5 miles to make a call, AND we live in a town! I fear getting older, with no car, in emergency
