    @bt_uk hello. We were due to have our engineer out today between 8-1 to fix our Internet which we have been told is 95% in amber and working at the worst rate. I have had a text at 10:19 claiming that our service is back to normal, but no engineer has knocked on the door (1-)

    @bt_uk I have been trying to cancel my BTsport subscription for 40 minutes now but each time I get transferred to cancellations the line goes dead. Has happened twice now. Please advise.

    @bt_uk I have a very bad broadband connection today, trying to WFH is proving difficult. BT not says no fault but there most definitely is

  • SuePownall Sue Pownall Artist (@SuePownall) reported from Bures Saint Mary, England

    @bt_uk I don't want to receive the message. I want the number blocked. It doesn't ring on my phone but goes to voicemail and I have to waste time calling it and listening to garbage.

  • pseveruscarter 𓆙𝕻𝖆𝖎𝖌𝖊 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖗 📚🦢 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @KarimaAfc @bt_uk My router keeps going orange and its driving us nuts. The only consistent thing about BT broadband is that its been consistently **** since we got it

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk The engineer. We were told when we called that our Internet was 'the worse it could be'& that we needed something on our line fixing. The engineer text me saying he ran a line test at my house and then left. Since then our Internet has still been disconnecting and is as slow--

  • LesleyJ34566860 Lesley Jones (@LesleyJ34566860) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @bt_uk can you explain why daily on your app I get “ token expired “! I am constantly having to log in. I read that there is a problem with the app. When will this be rectified ??

  • matt40k Matt Smith (@matt40k) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @ianwtasker @bt_uk Yer, prob with a copper service

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk To the mobile number, correct? I just want to make sure the mobile number is legitimate as BT have never text me from a regular mobile number before. Cheers ☺

  • Sandsy79 💁🏽‍♀️Emma💁🏽‍♀️ (@Sandsy79) reported from Halstead, England

    I can honestly say the customer service at @bt_uk is second to non. Even though they don’t connect me for 3 weeks!!!! They’ve still been great 👍🏽

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk As it was before. We have been having problems for months with our connection, and are really put out that nothing seems to have been fixed today after finally having an engineer out to help. He said that there might be a problem with our router and he has--

  • pseveruscarter 𓆙𝕻𝖆𝖎𝖌𝖊 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖗 📚🦢 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk Theres not, and we've been through all the steps. It's just honestly the worst Internet I've ever had.

  • timcutbush Tim Cutbush (@timcutbush) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Yet another scam call from @bt_uk saying there’s an issue with my broadband. Third today. I’m not even with BT

  • Peckham_Heights Richie Fine™ 🏳️‍🌈 (@Peckham_Heights) reported from Clacton-on-Sea, England

    @VinylYesPlease @bt_uk I had two yesterday. Same thing saying Amazon Prime. I need to get me a whistle or something loud to play down their earpiece then they might stop calling.

  • pseveruscarter 𓆙𝕻𝖆𝖎𝖌𝖊 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖗 📚🦢 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @KarimaAfc @bt_uk Has yours just crashed? Mine has gone down

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk Hiya, we ended up calling BT again and got some answers. Turns out there is an external problem which is due to be fixed this week. Thank you for your help :)

  • ange_duncan Angela Duncan ⭐️⭐️ (@ange_duncan) reported from West Bergholt, England

    @bt_uk day 5 of no landline or broadband and expected fix date 23 June 😡😡 seriously shocking customer service when I phone to ask what you can do to help me …. Nothing unless I upgrade apparently. How am I supposed to work from home?

  • Box_Valley Adrian Chalkley (@Box_Valley) reported from Boxford, England

    Sad but our poor service from  @BT_uk  & @openreach continues, to recap ordered fibre July 16th on 7 Aug My BT website states an engineer will visit. Nobody turned up! A common event it seems 😣

  • Secrethamper Secret Hamper ™ (@Secrethamper) reported from Tolleshunt Major, England

    Hi @bt_uk our phone lines are down yet again, the 3rd time in as many weeks and 1-4 days to fix… this is our busiest time of year and we are missing lots of potential business which is costing us dearly

  • SJWilding Simon Wilding🔸🇪🇺 (@SJWilding) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    Absolutely shocking "help" from @bt_uk regarding a total **** up with a new broadband/landline order leaving a grieving widow basically alone and uncontactable. Thanks.

    So Trevor @BTCare offered to look into my situation. AGAIN, corporate response, hiding behind policies, contracts etc. NO help, just a waste of time.

  • JackieWhates Jax (@JackieWhates) reported

    @bt_uk how can you provide such a bad service and this be acceptable?? Ive had two different dates for a repair and stayed at home yet STILL nobody turns up

  • AssamiteKd Atheist Dad🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@AssamiteKd) reported

    @bt_uk It appears that the issue is using a VPN. I was able to use my VPN without any issues up till yesterday now anything to do with a BT Web site or email won't work. Any reason why.

  • BAlpargu Bura❤Argu 🇹🇷🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@BAlpargu) reported

    @bt_uk It is a problem in my perspective :) It has been 10 days since your engineer supposed to install my wifi, and it has been 24 days since I completed my order. So it is a big problem. I already started regretting my decision. Wish you the same Alannah :)

  • RobWalker01 Rob Walker (@RobWalker01) reported

    Guess the experience #CX I had when I cancelled my @bt_uk this week? Yes, an awful one🤬 One thinks he's going to be ok because contract ends in 10 days But one is always surprised by small-print-terms + hidden charges Dare challenge it, and you get threaten with more charges
