  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • Flanners999 Keith Flanagan (@Flanners999) reported from Thundersley, England

    @BTCare @btsport 40+ minutes holding and on a call to BT just now, couldn’t resolve my issue so just cut me off. No callback! 😡

  • MikeKirkham Michael Kirkham (@MikeKirkham) reported from London, England

    @bt_uk Hi team. So, no one turned up yesterday in the booked time slot. So what happens now? FTTP was meant to be live on Tuesday. Then yesterday. Such a disappointing start along with all the damage and ancillary issues caused.

  • Mattpsychol Matt Brown (@Mattpsychol) reported from Bicknacre, England

    Can anyone at @bt_uk help?!? My parents in 70s have been waiting for phone line & broadband to be installed - order place on 4th July. They’re completed without internet or phone with v poor mobile signal. They rely on internet and in current Covid climate it’s distressing them!

  • philjel1 Philjel (@philjel1) reported from Basildon, England

  • a4ann Ann Cardus (@a4ann) reported from Brentwood, England

  • niallthorpe08 Niall Thorpe (@niallthorpe08) reported from London, England

    The service we’ve received from @bt_uk over the last year is shocking! Now they want to change us £250 to leave when we’ve not had WiFi for months! Disgusting service!

  • Karbs1961 Marc Karbaron (@Karbs1961) reported from Basildon, England

    @bt_uk that this has been sorted. Just rang back a second time and after 1hr on hold the phone cut off. I am appalled at the disgusting service I have received having been a long term customer. I entered into a new contract with you I don’t expect bills for double the amount 2/3

  • DanDempsey93 DDemps. (@DanDempsey93) reported from London, England

  • JulieAnnMulvey Julie Ann Mulvey (@JulieAnnMulvey) reported

    Managed to sort new account with our former providers @bt_uk - if only they'd made the same offer to renew as they just did to return we'd never have left! However we are no nearer to getting reconnected 😔 - but should have access to hotspots 🙏

  • sharon42409998 sharon (@sharon42409998) reported

    @bt_uk I’m furious, spent 1 hour on the phone today ,after feeling I’ve been pushed into a package which I wasn’t given the full information. I opened a complaint, within hours I’ve been told the complaint been closed? I’ve had no contact from yourselves to discuss an outcome .

  • bamxbam89 Gemma Craig (@bamxbam89) reported

    @bt_uk Had issues with my bt box. The TV repeatedly turns on and off. 2 TV’s have broken and we’re now on our third. It’s clearly a box issue and not a TV issue. We had a new box a few months ago but it’s still happening. Currently paying £80 a month for this. How do I cancel?

  • matjames9 Mat james (@matjames9) reported

    Love paying a **** load of money for @btsport to get to watch it in 240p. Incredible.

  • CyclingEurope Andrew P. Sykes (@CyclingEurope) reported

    The @VodafoneUK advert says their broadband is “5 times as reliable…”. When I changed to Vodafone broadband (because it was cheaper) it regularly stopped working. I went back to @BT_UK, paid more and got a great service.

  • Katy03062668 Katy (@Katy03062668) reported

    @bt_uk 4 weeks with no internet, work from home with son with severe behavioural problems who uses YouTube to relax and focus. A single cable broken but 6 fix dates not delivered on by BT, and giving contradictory and misleading information. Not happy with BT customer service!

  • ClareMWilkins Clare Wilkins (@ClareMWilkins) reported

    Day 26 of no service. Still no contact from complaint resolution team @bt_uk VOL013-729279925497 Of course no comment from @OpenreachHelp either. No update until day 28 when they will move it on 5 days without moving a muscle to date #Communicationsombudsman

  • AdamfromNI Adam ✝️ 🇬🇧 (@AdamfromNI) reported

    @UlsterRugby @btsport Switched off after 20 minutes poor show
