  • 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.

  • Therockstar111 Rowan Richards (@Therockstar111) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk Can you tell us all actually what has happened to be broadband network in the Chelmsford area and approximately how long will service return to normal so we can make arrangements please?

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk This has been an ongoing issue for a few weeks now, my partners phone keeps switching to mobile data because it keeps dropping out and now she has none left 😑

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

    @bt_uk Hiya, we ended up calling BT again and got some answers. Turns out there is an external problem which is due to be fixed this week. Thank you for your help :)

  • 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--

  • 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-)

  • 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

  • howiesway Darren (@howiesway) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @BTCare I have received calls 2 days in a row claiming my PC has a malware issue. I have hung up on both calls, I am assuming this is a scam. This seems to be on the increase.

  • 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.

  • Bull_Diggy Bull Diggy #GSBOUT (@Bull_Diggy) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk my internet is down, I’m stuck in with 2 kids on lock down, and after nearly 45 minutes on the phone you still have not answered. Absolutely disgusting customer service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • 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--

  • 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.

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

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

  • 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

  • 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 ☺

  • JustinLang Justin Lang (@JustinLang) reported

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @PaulClews2 @bt_uk Have avoided BT retail for the last 20 years. Now with Zen - cant fault them, UK based, excellent customer service. You'd still have to deal with OpenReach with the install, which may still be an issue from what I can see?

  • lilyblueman lily blueman (@lilyblueman) reported

    @bt_uk shocking service on landline for my vulnerable father who is expected to wait 5 days for you to fix a recurrent problem with his phone. Very disappointed

  • PaulClews2 Paul Clews (@PaulClews2) reported

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @bt_uk What have they done, mate? Interested customer.

  • J_PaulDevine Paul Devine (@J_PaulDevine) reported

    today is a slow day 1hour 25minutes to download an image on @bt_uk which is only 20mb Ill understand 2GB or more. Ill get the usual BS they are giving me the speed, but why should I pay the same monthly fee for (dialup) broadband as someone who actually gets FAST broadband?

  • laborie44 Jenny Murray (@laborie44) reported

    @bt_uk help please. We are being told that the internet is down in the Bedford area and has been since earlier today. What is happening please as I have a business to run

  • ma_bbyy peaceandlove (@ma_bbyy) reported

    @bt_uk Your internet is so bad don’t even start

  • GlobalClarity1 South East Sean (@GlobalClarity1) reported

    Engineer no show today. No call, no text, NOTHING. 14 calls to @bt_uk who frankly could not give a toss. Tell me it could be 2 weeks b4 next appointment. Contract with Virgin ends tomorrow. Not sure who to tell work I won’t be able to login for a fortnight. #sky #virginmedia #bt

  • JohnRic41447711 John Richards (@JohnRic41447711) reported

    @bt_uk what’s going on. You need to DM me because I’m confused as to why I’m paying for an intermittent WiFi service. Thanks.

  • SoProJanet Janet Bebb (@SoProJanet) reported

    Now been on hold for over 30 minutes @bt_uk you were meant to install fibre to the property yesterday. You organised for my previous provider to cancel our contract with them. Now no hot water or heating as it's a hive set up. And no help!!!

  • joftius Joshua Loftus (@joftius) reported

    Internet service down and will be fixed "within a few days" ...I could understand if some kind of natural disaster had happened, but apparently this is just normal for @now @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp? Why can't I live in a country with functioning infrastructure
