    @bt_uk Thank you. It's very frustrating that this wasn't provided at time of sale. It also doesn't seem right that there is now an additional expense required to guarantee basic service that we used to be able to rely on.

  • femaledec
    Cheyvonne Bower (@femaledec) reported from Croft, England

    My anxiety is being tested by @bt_uk. Engineer failed to show yesterday and so no broadband today. 3 phone calls on hold for half an hour before being cut off. My heating, cat flap and printers are all flashing and nobody wants to help.

    Pretty sure @bt_uk used to give you sports access via the app as a broadband customer? Mine just says no active subscription??

  • jkisthe1
    Jonathan Kahn (@jkisthe1) reported from Salford, England

    Nearly 2 weeks since I subscribed to @btsport through @EE and still I can't access it. The gentlemen who has been dealing with it has been fantastic, but it this what you call service? Reckon I'd have heard from you yesterday if my bill hadn't been paid today

  • theboytemps
    Andrew (@theboytemps) reported from Turton, England

    @bt_uk We did get through eventually, after well over an hour. I appreciate you are busy, but for the handler not to tell us after having waited 45 minutes to speak to him that he was transferring us to another queue & putting us on hold for another half hour was really poor service.

    @bt_uk hi, my elderly mum’s phone line is down. How can I report it?

  • broomey66
    Kevin Broome (@broomey66) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk Your broadband is garbage. Wi-fi drops out constantly and lucky if I can download anything in under a day

  • AskTheShire
    The Shire (@AskTheShire) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk Ping goes does to 50k ms and then it drops off totally with no internet traffic as explained to your agent who told me it's WiFi. Its not I've got ping and traceroute data. There is an issue and to reiterate intermittently.

    @bt_uk Hi, my internet is running painfully slow - I’ve done a speed test that’s coming back at 32, but I can’t connect on my devices, also whilst watching Netflix/Prime it’s buffering. Could you arrange a booster for me so I can give that a try before finding a new provider?

  • darrendevally
    Darren de Vally 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@darrendevally) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk your app is telling me my last bill was not paid on time? But it’s paid by direct debit and went through no problem.

    @RadioPaulHulse @bt_uk @bt_uk are shite. I'm with Sky never had a issue. Leave the useless *******.

  • jkisthe1
    Jonathan Kahn (@jkisthe1) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @btsport You are absolutely useless How does it take you a week to deal with an issue that's supposed to take 24 hours to resolve, with zero contact in that time

  • savigar_michael

    @TheRunningManZ @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk I remember when we had them down our street I had internet problem even though iam with plus net .

  • DidymusBrush
    Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    @Darth_Vivid @virginmedia @bt_uk @TalkTalk @SkyUK It would be nice to get 100mb once. Never even had half of what we pay for. Wonder what Ofcom would make of that...

  • MrPeteEdwards
    Pete Edwards (@MrPeteEdwards) reported from Urmston, England

    Hello @bt_uk and @WeAreOpenreach how can it take 3 weeks , to not resolve a broadband dropping issue in a Manchester property. Our broadband is off.. and seemingly no-one know why.

  • Nickbr1001
    Nick Broughall (@Nickbr1001) reported from Sale, England

    If @bt_uk suggest you switch to @EE to save you money, say no. Painful process from day 1. Direct debit initially set up wrong, 8 phone numbers with random charges on the bill. Awful experience.

    @bt_uk If it's not installed at the 3rd attempt we are going to the ombudsman. BT and Openreach cannot communicate with each other and neither can tell the customer what is happening...or worse, what is NOT happening!

  • _erikacx
    erika x (@_erikacx) reported

    @bt_uk broadband has been down for last 20 mins, the online test isn’t working. Please advise

  • sharon_railton
    Sharon&Mark (@sharon_railton) reported

    @bt_uk I got a call from Chris just after 8pm,basically everyone I spoke with at BT said it wasn’t their problem and that you outsource all your work to open reach,so take it up with them! I pay BT for a service and youre happy to leave vulnerable people without a phone line.Disgusting

  • badshelley
    Shelley Squire (@badshelley) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve spoken to 3 people. 2 who confirmed the third gave me incorrect information. No offer to escalate and the process on the phone is a smokescreen. How do I navigate it to get a senior customer service representative?

  • tomtolkien
    Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @bt_uk There’s no broadband in TR7 and you’ve turned off chat support, phone support and SMS support (that’s all support and contact options) for the next 12 hours.

  • The_Change_666

    This fault was fixed by the next day but have had multiple outages since this. Currently there is another outage for me. @bt_uk

  • TomChap
    Tom Chapman 🐀 (@TomChap) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I have just signed in to the BT account and the last bill says (Final bill). Next to the BT account No it says (Inactive). I was in credit and this was sent to my bank account. So I'm guessing its ok to cancel.

  • me_not_animal
    🐧 Me Might be Animal! 🐧 (@me_not_animal) reported

    Well the @bt_uk saga continues! Emailed the ELC team on Friday about the issues, someone called first thing this morning and had escalated things with @WeAreOpenreach to have an engineer out this afternoon…. And surprise surprise, OpenReach failed to turn up again (3rd failure)

  • Ministryofmess
    Andy250 (@Ministryofmess) reported

    @bt_uk As well as the complaint, I've phoned twice this morning and got told the queue is over 15 minutes. Useless.
