  • 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.

  • 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 😡😡😡😡😡

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

    @bt_uk This came back no issue, but I can confidently say there is an issue

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

    @bt_uk Still terrible

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk Still having issues this is day 3 now

  • LilyMaeSmith_ Lily Smith (@LilyMaeSmith_) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk disgusting service for new customers. My grandparents who are in their 70/80’s ordered newest bt tv product a few weeks back ahead of them moving house. Only to find bt turned up at old address despite being told of new address and now refusing to come round TIL tues

  • Termy Artemis, aka Termy (they/them) (@Termy) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help, have given the Jun 6 a restart and it's no longer showing flat orange, and is now blue and connected. So no issues anymore!

  • BJR126 Ben (@BJR126) reported

    @btsport Shocking customer service for tonight's Fury v Wilder fight. Cannot record the fight on my Sky box and cannot get confirmation that all fights (including the undercard) will be shown on repeat. Sort yourselves out and think about the customer's needs for once.

  • tgr_robo TGR That's Gaming Robo (@tgr_robo) reported

    @Luke_FFF @bt_uk Hey man, I hope all is well! Have they discussed a compensation package to you yet because of this poor service? I hope it gets sorted for you ASAP!

  • glazersleavenow £200 a minute since 2005 #glazersout (@glazersleavenow) reported

    @Luke_FFF @bt_uk Raise complaint with ofcom. You will be able to leave penalty free within 28 days (I think it is) if they cannot provide the service.

  • Karl_Bates Karl Bates BBCRadio 📻⚽️ (@Karl_Bates) reported

    @bt_uk @Luke_FFF sums BT up perfectly mate, trying to sort out MY issue, when I’ve stated I’m complaining about EON

  • Jarmanmark79 Mark jarman (@Jarmanmark79) reported

    @BTCare another day with no internet. @gigaclear please save is from this awful company. #moneyoverservice #btdontcare #betterinternetinthe90s

  • chrispawilliams Chris Williams (@chrispawilliams) reported

    @BTCare please stop sending me threatening texts saying that you want to charge me for kit I sent back weeks ago. I have contacted BT already to try and stop this and was assured it was sorted. I am a very loyal customer with a lot of services - please fix this.

  • richardgott23 Gotty (@richardgott23) reported

    @bt_uk Had third engineer out on Thursday (this time open reach) could not fix - promised two different departments would call me that evening…. No calls

  • DEPtones 🇩🇪 DEPtones ⚒️ (@DEPtones) reported

    @Luke_FFF @bt_uk SEVEN?!!!! That's horrendous. I used to be with BT then went over to Eclipse who have a fantastic service, hardly ever lose the Internet - but guess what, they lease their fibre and phone lines from BT. How come I get a better service/customer service than you? #BTSUCK!

  • willintyne William Burd 💙😷 🇲🇹 (@willintyne) reported

    @Girlwithvoiceuk @bt_uk @MailOnline Who on Earth is going to be available to monitor this service? Not for profit? Don’t make me laugh, equipment and time always come at a cost.
