  • 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.

  • 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 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--

  • 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.

  • 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 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 ☺

  • Brad_Carson1998 Bradley Carson (@Brad_Carson1998) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, you were to cancel the contract as per conversation with one of your employees at the door. On the phone and I quote with your colleague “we’ve ****** up, without sugar coating it”. You’ve offered a 6 month refund so why would they go to sky?

    @bt_uk @EE Go with business broadband via EE... Useless customer service! No internet two months in and problem after problem... Shambles! Go on @EE why you bothering to offer BT business broadband?

  • sharonmbowles Sharon Bowles (@sharonmbowles) reported

    @BTCare Been waiting for 5 hours and looks like your engineer not turning up. Your staff won’t speak to me due to “data protection” (ie my husband and not me was stupid enough to place an order with you)

  • Sandanista Bob P @BobPitman@toot.community (@Sandanista) reported

    @bt_uk No, had replacement hub abt yr ago I think. Last 3 or 4 mth seem to have lot of little glitchy mins & then it would be OK for while but the last month & bit have found restarting hub has cleared connection issues- or sometimes just soft device disconnect from hub & reconnect wifi

  • DJGTidwell Dave Tidwell (@DJGTidwell) reported

    @bt_uk An update, the PON light flashed green for 1.5 hours, then reconnected to the network. I cancelled the booked engineer appointment. If fibre cable was damaged the FON would be flashing red, PON flashing green meant exchange connection was good, but service was deactivated there
