    @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-)

  • ColinRGreen Colin Green (@ColinRGreen) reported

    @WorkTheSpace @bt_uk I left BT a few years ago after similar issues with packet loss and shocking download speeds. Sadly it took 1 weeks to get a stable connection and then the local infrastructure would only give me half the speed I was getting before.

  • Petedyer Pete Dyer (@Petedyer) reported

    @bt_uk my broadband in Northampton has been down 24 hours and the text service just keeps pushing the estimated fix time on a few hours at a time. An honest estimate would be better.

  • tmupchurch TU (@tmupchurch) reported

    @bt_uk Also, our internet has been slow - but still I didn't want to discuss this with an unannounced stranger.
