  • 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?

  • QlikStu Stuart Wannop (@QlikStu) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk Just upgraded to fibre 500, getting 120mbps on average. Slower than my previous BT package. Been told speed cannot be accurately measured into my hub. Still in cooling off period anything else I can try before I cancel it ?

  • yeltzland John Pollard (@yeltzland) reported from Hexham, England

    Having to watch Chorley v Derby with the the sound off. The fake crowd noise is always awful, but @btsport think the Chorley crowd would normally sound like an under 9s swimming gala 🙄

  • charming_man_ Tory 1 (@charming_man_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk can we have an update on the outage Middlesbrough TS5

  • heatherpott heather potts (@heatherpott) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk please can you respond to my complaint ASAP #poorcustomerservice

  • TomORussell Tom Russell (@TomORussell) reported from Hexham, England

    @bt_uk Just heard from you. Because of this Digital Voice issue I have to be without phone and broadband for 2 weeks! Is this the 1980’s? I have 3 teenagers learning and running a business from home. What kind of business are you running? @BBCWatchdog

  • 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? 🤔).

  • TomORussell Tom Russell (@TomORussell) reported from Hexham, England

    @bt_uk Joined BT weeks ago. Cannot receive landline calls. How many times do I have to report a problem with my landline before someone does something about it? Is there a magic number? Sick and tired of being fobbed off. #bt #CustomerService

  • TomORussell Tom Russell (@TomORussell) reported from Hexham, England

    @bt_uk The catalogue of ridiculous BT errors continues. STILL NO HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER DESPITE HOURS OF TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. Yet more broken promises to ring me back and resolve. IS THIS A WIND UP? @BBCWatchdog

  • 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??

  • TomORussell Tom Russell (@TomORussell) reported from Hexham, England

    Dear people of the UK. If you are thinking of switching your landline to @bt_uk, STOP! It’s not worth all the hassle and crap that these people will pile upon you to get your landline sorted. Please RT for everyone’s sake. #CustomerReview #customerexperience #bbcwatchdog

  • TomORussell Tom Russell (@TomORussell) reported from Hexham, England

    @BBCWatchdog Please investigate @bt_uk and their appalling attitude to fixing our Digital Voice landline. Been unable to receive calls for weeks & we have worried, elderly parents who cannot call us. A trail of broken promises and still taking our money. #CustomerService #bt

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk hello, hope you can help please? After a 95 minute phone call on Saturday your advisor assured me my problems would be solved by an engineer tomorrow. I’ve had no email or text to confirm this. Please advise.

  • TomORussell Tom Russell (@TomORussell) reported from Hexham, England

    Guess what @bt_uk. Another member of your team promises to call us today about our ongoing landline problems, & another promise broken. That’s at least 5 people from your team who have over promised & never delivered. Shameless. #bbcwatchdog @BBCWatchdog

  • jessatkinson95 Jess Atkinson (@jessatkinson95) reported from Hexham, England

    @bt_uk think it’s pretty poor that you tell people their broadband can take up to 11:30pm to work when they move house. When exactly am I supposed to tel you, no it hasn’t worked, and now I cannot work from home. This was the whole reason I took YESTERDAY off 😤

  • glne12 gary littlemore (@glne12) reported from Longbenton, England

    Terrible @btsport sort it out

  • 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?

  • taylersant Tayler (@taylersant) reported from Newburn, England

    @bt_uk have been waiting three weeks for our internet to be installed, nobody turns up for appointment today, ring up to be spoken down too and told nobody was booked in so I need to rebook!!!! Worst customer service ever and having a nightmare before we even get our broadband!!!

  • 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.

  • 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? 🤔)

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CompassionateAw Ingrid Ord (@CompassionateAw) reported

    @BTCare Very poor show! No connection after being told it would happen on the 8th. Now engineers are REVIEWING on 15th. Consequence=no income for customer

  • PhilFortune8 PhilFortune (@PhilFortune8) reported

    @bt_uk Evidence: Full chronology of 5 call reference numbers & consecutive fault reference calls closed by BT without resolution. Full chronology of BT Agent calls & duration. Full list of agent names and call details. 10+ Promised call backs by agents not actioned.

  • One7TOut One7TOut (@One7TOut) reported

    Internet update; @bt_uk engineers are in a manhole! This isn't a euphonism or code, they had to go and get permission from the council to get access to said manhole to fix the fault! I get frustrated and I know it's their job but that can't be having a pleasant day.

  • MerchantsHseUK The Merchant's House (@MerchantsHseUK) reported

    @bt_uk no phone or internet in SN8 - problem with the network or just us? Too long to wait to call you.

  • xjnaaaa Jem (@xjnaaaa) reported

    @bt_uk hello why is my hub flashing purple. I’ve followed the steps and nothing is working. Please help, I need the internet for work…

  • MarineMermaidUK Hannah Milburn (@MarineMermaidUK) reported

    @bt_uk To add insult to injury our account was credited yesterday with £16 compensation for two days in December! What about the other 90 days with no internet! Even the engineer said it wasn’t a major outage!!

  • Northlander74 𝔖𝔱𝔢𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔫 𝔍. 𝔍𝔞𝔠𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔰 (@Northlander74) reported

    @bt_uk I know you're only trying to help Rita, but I'm funny about putting those details on social media, even in a DM... The last thing I need is someone phoning me from the Dark Web asking for Fuzzy Chocolate or Happy Pineapple "plant food" or finding my inbox full of **** pics 🙈😱

  • StuMSmith Stuart (@StuMSmith) reported

    @bt_uk Ok that has been sent but we have been hear before. What is needed is a case work who will proactively see this through to resolution and make sure it’s dealt with. Some of your incompetencies are potentially life threatening.

  • PhilFortune8 PhilFortune (@PhilFortune8) reported

    @bt_uk 20+ screen shots taken from the router showing speeds ranging between 2Mb\s > 40Mb\s and service re-starts multiple times daily (confirmed by BT agents during support calls). Continuous IP address renewals. 5 Engineers confirming ‘Noise & errors on the line’ 3-4 hour visit

  • SeanCro32891966 Sean Cronin (@SeanCro32891966) reported

    @bt_uk still no BB fibre since 28th Oct. What are doing about it, absolutely nothing except passing us from on dept. to another. Shame on you for your customer service.
