    @bt_uk hi. We have a BT Infinity hub. WiFi doesn’t work when I’m in my bedroom on my iPhone. Just kicks me out and back onto 4G. On my iPod, I have to be sitting in the middle of my bed to get WiFi. I’ve tried resetting iPhone network and the hub to no avail. Might have to get +

  • GordonS78 Gordon Smith (@GordonS78) reported

    @bt_uk reported a broadband issue yesterday morning which is affecting a number of streets around me. Got a text confirming an engineer was booked to attend next Tuesday. When I log in to MyBT, no issues are shown. How can I confirm the engineer has not been cancelled?

  • OtterMcK 🌟STARJAMMER🌟 Lord Of The Gap (@OtterMcK) reported

    @bt_uk It also means there's some services, like the one in question here, where because of my learning difficulties I forgot to update the email address... and since you discontinued the service, I have no way to access them any more. This is a 9 year old game account that I've lost.

  • DaviesJeremy Jeremy Davies (@DaviesJeremy) reported

    @broadwayptrs your service is flaky, we are 2 days with no service and your tech support see that as low priority P4 and no timely interest to resolve ! Maybe we should have stayed with @bt_uk

  • C099i St Pauls Fire (@C099i) reported

    @bt_uk Wife’s got login details and she’s away, is there anything you can do?

  • samhowson Sam Howson (@samhowson) reported

    Atrocious customer service from @bt_uk - not had internet for a *month*! The provided @EE 4G box has now decided to no longer work either. @openreachhelp still nowhere to be seen...

  • Joshjoshmma Jimmy Luke (@Joshjoshmma) reported

    @arielhelwani I never bought a single ppv. BTsport

  • Scott1984FP Scott1984FP (@Scott1984FP) reported

    Been With: @BT_Uk Since 2016 Alone At Bedford House & Both Had Settled Closed Accounts, & Both Excellent Credit History, Yet No Options Apply To Us At All @EE Credit Checks , & Can't Just Add To @BT_Uk Accounts/Bills Like Past Deals Or Sim Only Deals :( Help :(

  • ShanbhagRoshan Roshan G shanbhag (@ShanbhagRoshan) reported

    @bt_uk BT demonstrating the highest level of inefficiency in resolving total broadband downtime since 16th Nov 2022 in canning town. Life has come to a standstill and the issue is not going to be fixed till 29th. Total disappointment!

  • ClareJannetta Clare Jannetta Smith (@ClareJannetta) reported

    @bt_uk So disappointed we’re now almost 2 working days with no service & only starting to be fixed now. Really unhappy at this dismal, disjointed and totally shambolic customer service. At best, misinformation; at worst, a total fob off yesterday.

  • Mr_Peteroy peter simmons (@Mr_Peteroy) reported

    @bt_uk your customer service is shocking!
