@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--

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 😣

@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--

@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-)

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

@bt_uk absolutely shocking service from yourselves. Leaving my elderly mum without a phoneline and Internet and no way of contacting people then trying to say an engineer resolved the issue today when no one has been out 😡

@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.

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.

@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 ☺

@DreyfusJames @JustBusyWriting @bt_uk Today its usually fibre to the large green boxes (DSLAM) & then 🤞🏽 copper beyond. Unfortunately there is aluminium & even paper insulated wires still in the ground. Underground boxes flood easily especially after a storm, wires get rubbed down in the trees if it’s pole fed

.@bt_uk @openreach Ver disappointed in your service. Booked an engineer to fit new wifi yesterday, they never turned up - no explanation. Now we aren’t being offered another engineer appointment until the 27th of Jan. My partner works from home so that’s 16 days of no work? Huh?

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk My family had a nightmare in 2021 with a new router, which was sold to us by a subsidiary company to BT. We had nothing but trouble with it, and finally got it replaced by BT directly just a few weeks ago. We also ended up paying way more than we should have, but got compensated

(@toucanjester) reported
@JustBusyWriting @DreyfusJames @bt_uk I left before fibre fed off the poles was the norm but more often than not the drop wires (as we call them) are vulnerable to the weather, tree branches & even squirrels (they will chew it to pieces).Even snow can pull them down to the ground.

(@annakategwen) reported
@bt_uk We were approached on our doorstep in November offering us full fibre - we agreed to switch, with an early January installation. We’re now told an engineer won’t reach us for at least a month; we’re without wifi and can’t do our jobs. This is pretty awful - can you help?

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk I used to work for BT so I was with them for years. Service wasn’t great, but it was free as part of a benefits package. As soon as I left I switched to Sky. We haven’t had any problems with their service

@DreyfusJames @samjjones73 @bt_uk See previous post, we went back to sky. The viewing card on our sky box went on Boxing Day. Phoned them on Boxing Day, couldn't fix but promised that they would post out another. It arrived on the 29th. Great service from them

@DreyfusJames @bt_uk The fibre cables are much lighter by comparison so the same problem doesn’t happen and they remain attached even in heavy rain. Silly issue, but very common problem, we were told.
