  • ChaneyMichael Michael Chaney (@ChaneyMichael) reported from Dunston, England

    @gateshead who do you report vandalism of a phone box to, is it council or @bt_uk can you help? As it is a BT phone box.

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Still no reply or update when our broadband will be back on. Nearly 7 days without a business connection. Let down everyday by BT 🤬

  • baldymanali Alastair Smith (@baldymanali) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk just received email from you saying my email will be suspended if I don't login. I read emails on your new (and I might say, useless) ap every day. Have complained about it previously. Get it sorted

  • 1972wilksy Chris Wilks (@1972wilksy) reported from Chilton, England

    @bt_uk broadband down (again). Not getting unlimited 4g on my 2 Sims despite 2 advisors telling me I would when I rang up (twice) that is part of my halo plan. Not happy

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter Hoare ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @PaulCaden1 and the students home Wi-fi likely no better either! I’m having to drive into work any day I am delivering online outreach presentations to schools or at online conferences as our home Wi-fi is so poor.....😳 @bt_uk?

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk the worst service in the UK. I’m still getting bills for a service I stopped in January. Absolutely shambolic. I stopped being a customer 3 months ago yet here I am on hold to BT. What a joke.

  • gerrinnesmac Gerry1nnes (@gerrinnesmac) reported from Peterlee, England

    @bt_uk Tweets are nice but I don't understand how you're in business! I've tried 7 times over three days to call you and you never ever pick up! Just a constant recycled message about being busy! If you can't handle busy you shouldn't be in business.

  • timlibrarian Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    @bt_uk broadband outage in DH77DD affecting *both* BT and Sky customers. According to Sky (your website doesn’t acknowledge it) since 11:30 last night. What’s going on?

  • stevewallwork Steve Wallwork (@stevewallwork) reported from Annfield Plain, England

    @lynseyhipgrave1 @btsport @sjsidwell I think we know the answer to that one Lynsey. Our record is traditionally poor on Boxing Day anyway.

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare guess what? Promised a phone call 1 hour after I spoke to your team on the phone at 10am and they haven’t rang back. You are exceeding my expectations of being the worst service provider in the UK right now 👏

  • lornafaym lornafay (@lornafaym) reported from Seaham, England

    Absolutely shocking customer service from @bt_uk this morning. Glad I was already calling to cancel but being ranted at, demanded to re-consider and called crazy just put the nail in the coffin.

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Why aren’t you dealing with our issue after 6 days without business broadband? Disgraceful service as our business is at a standstill with no replies or urgency!

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @fozia4 @rkelwick @bt_uk Indeed. And when you complain you just get fobbed off? They need to change the law to require a business to honour any service or produce they supply. Especially builders and tradesmen? Seems to be impossible to get them to put right errors they have made?

  • mikecharlston Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @bt_uk We currently have @skytv but after a week of little to no signal, the sky engineers have confirmed it’s an issue with trees out issue of our garden so sky looks like a no go! We currently have sky q in three rooms, do bt allows three boxes in the same house??

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @rkelwick @fozia4 @bt_uk I’m waiting to receive my £100 as my BT Broadband regularly cuts me off Zoom calls and the picture quality from our BT TV is regularly terrible (but fine on the app on my iPad? 🤔)

  • kennydude Joe Simpson (@kennydude) reported from Seaham, England

    @quidco If you could also sort the communication problem between yourselves and @bt_uk that’d be great.

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @bt_uk My @btsport picture quality often way worse than this - pixelated and unwatchable with broken up sound. When are you sending me my £100? (and more importantly providing me with a more reliable service? 🤔).

  • AdvancedIFA Advanced IFA Ltd (@AdvancedIFA) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btsport your service is terrible. Got billed £80 asked them to close account. Never watched it since pre lockdown 1 and today another £80 bill. Advised pay it or debt collectors will arrive then dispute it after payment. Very bad service. Still on hold 47mins to disconnect????

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare I love the way you’ve got to speak to 5 people and none of them can give you a straight answer on when your connection will be live again. It’s like the secret service having BT as a business provider. Shocking service BT!

  • 1972wilksy Chris Wilks (@1972wilksy) reported from Chilton, England

    @bt_uk @BTCare Hi. Got problem with my broadband which one of your advisers told me on the phone is getting fixed. But I'm not getting unlimited 4g that I should be getting on my halo account. Spoke to 2 advisors and still hasn't been sorted despite them both promising to

  • TherealJMShaw John Michael Shaw (@TherealJMShaw) reported

    @bt_uk Are you kidding me? You can't fix my dodgy internet so I book an appointment to upgrade to fibre in late Nov, get an appointment for today. Spend all day waiting in between 1-6pm, get a call at 5:50 telling me you cant do it and the next apps on the 23rd of feb?

  • DaveFlower6 Dave Flower (@DaveFlower6) reported

    The exceptional service @bt_uk continues.Had a call from Fouzia in the Customer Complaint team yesterday who couldnt update me as it was a Sunday.Promised me she would phone back today with updates..nothing. Now passing this over to @Ofcom for them to take this up & @BBCWatchdog

  • Jimmilaw lawman (@Jimmilaw) reported

    @bt_uk And you charge etc for a service you should be giving the customer anyway

  • SamCurran13 Sam Curran (@SamCurran13) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks James. I’m well thanks. Hope you are too. These phone books seem to have been put through every letterbox in my area. I wonder if it could be a request only service as the vast majority have already been thrown out or recycled.

  • mattpoll3781 mattpoll (@mattpoll3781) reported

    @bt_uk Went with bt because I wanted bt sport. Bt said because of poor signal I could only get it as app on my phone so I left for sky and now have bt sport in HD on my tv

  • owenmawatkins Owen Watkins (@owenmawatkins) reported

    @virginmedia I’d like to discuss cancelling the service or a significant price reduction). The latest increase to £45/month for 100mb broadband is almost double the cost of @bt_uk service at 150mb.

  • AlexSievewright Alex Sievewright: Doomscroller (@AlexSievewright) reported

    @bt_uk It's still not working. It's dropping connection all the time.

  • owenmawatkins Owen Watkins (@owenmawatkins) reported

    @virginmedia Noted, thanks. Chat is down and I assume the community forum is unable to give me a price reduction or cancel the service? @bt_uk could you please manage the switch from your end?

  • GarganEstelle estelle gargan (@GarganEstelle) reported

    @bt_uk Terrible wifi yet again apparently our walls are too thick and we need boosters, I have a booster in my room and still can’t get wifi 🙃

  • jrsafec safe-c (@jrsafec) reported
