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

    @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-)

  • WestVodkadrink Marie Anderson (@WestVodkadrink) reported from Feering, England

    @btsport Absolute joke trying to get through to BT to cancel my BT sport subscription 😡🤬😡🤬

    @btsport your sound is terrible, keeps cutting out!! #BHAARS

  • 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--

  • 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

  • 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 😣

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

    @bt_uk Well thanks for getting back eventually @TalkTalk quickly got back & have confirmed we will not have any service problems on Friday. I must emphasise I explained everything on the phone to your sales team who were not concerned, just wanted an order. We wait to see what happens!

  • merseamillsy Shaun Mills (@merseamillsy) reported from West Mersea, England

    @bt_uk Intermittent problems, it’s a known issue at your end.

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

    @ianwtasker @bt_uk Yer, prob with a copper service

  • 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.

  • 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 ??

  • beckiewood69 Beckie Wood (@beckiewood69) reported from Heybridge, England

    @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

  • dean_east Dean East (@dean_east) reported from Sproughton, England

    @bt_uk are your servers down again, no email access, waiting for an important email to come through

  • 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--

  • gottapulse Gottapulse (@gottapulse) reported from Witham, England

    @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.

  • 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 ☺

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • kateblythart kate (@kateblythart) reported

    @bt_uk utter rubbish - my parents are in their 70's and have had no internet since the 21st Oct. BT can neither tell us what the issue is or when it will be fixed. They work full-time online from home and rely on the internet to keep their jobs. Terrible service

  • craftysarahp Sarah Pie 🌻🌻 (@craftysarahp) reported

    @bt_uk elderly neighbours phone not working over a week no update and just holding for over 45 mins for update then cut off now holding again over 30 mins - shocking service can u help ?

  • EdEddy477 eddy477 (@EdEddy477) reported

    @bt_uk worth pointing they gained nothing by this 'upgrade'. Previous contract was 30mb, new contract states max speed 30mb. I also note new customer deals who are have passed there tie in period are paying 45 a month or there abouts after month 24. Not right to be fleecing pensioners.

  • EdEddy477 eddy477 (@EdEddy477) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Paul, unfortunately I have tried that twice and they refuse to help as they were signed up to a new contract in feb for 2 years! Signed up to halo3 from fibre 1. I dont believe they were aware of what they were being sold and hence agreed to whatever was suggested to them.

  • EdEddy477 eddy477 (@EdEddy477) reported

    @bt_uk Appalled to discover my elderly parents, (under assessment for dementia) & customers of BT since 1980 are paying a whopping £85 a month for 30mb bbd and a tv subscription they did not know they had or ever watched. Tried complaints line got no where. Please Please can you help?

  • The_Angry_0ne Terry Cotta (@The_Angry_0ne) reported

    @bt_uk As an existing customer who only wants broadband you're quoting me over 60 quid. How can that be right?

  • JillBaron Jill Baron (@JillBaron) reported

    @bt_uk Following on from the promise of our line problems being sorted out today, (Tuesday), no sign of anyone from Openreach & it’s dark now. It’s been 18 days now with nothing happening plus umpteen promises of reconnection!

  • DazzlerJJD Jordan James (@DazzlerJJD) reported

    @bt_uk Why do we still have to phone up to cancel things? They tell you there is “unprecedented demand” when you call and after 30 minutes you still haven’t spoken to anyone.

  • Suenameis Susan Elizabeth (@Suenameis) reported

    @MarcAllera @btsport So, get the minions to check your email box for my FORMAL COMPLAINT….and, would you like a copy of the response I get from OFCOM down the line?

  • AndyHails Andy Hails 👨‍💻 (@AndyHails) reported

    @bt_uk Actually, this is still a problem. Joining a VPN doesn't provide me with internal DNS -> still can't connect to sites I could before.
