    Craig Dyer (@cdyer291) reported from Bury, England

    When I signed up for a new broadband service with BT, it said I would receive a £110 reward card. Never heard anything since and when I go to claim on my account, it’s not listed, any ideas @BTCare ?

    EMMA STOTHARD (@emstoth) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk Thanks - I’ve been sent two though. I need a particular one to work as another is packed away. It’s just constantly showing a red no signal light.

    Can anyone not open @btsport on an android TV or is it just me? It tells me that my Internet is the problem, yet everything else works perfectly, suggesting that, actually it isn't

  • 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

  • ianrohdebell
    Ian Rohde-Bell (@ianrohdebell) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk @commuter_girl Why do we have to pay for these? I don't understand why you're allowed to sell inferior service for higher prices.

  • Stirling061
    Ian Stirling (@Stirling061) reported from Salford, England

    @skysports and @btsport must end their collusion with Premier League clubs to rip off fans by charging £15 to view games during a pandemic. This is a very poor way to treat fans and their subscribers who already pay them large amounts. Play fair with fans.

    @bt_uk my BT email is down, is there a problem? See many others reporting the same

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

  • leehow2
    Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    Your systems work correctly? Once is bad luck but twice is just plain rubbish. There's no online chat available either to sort the issue out. I guess she'll have to spend 2 hours on the phone to you tomorrow trying to get a refund. It's just rubbish! @btsport @BTSportBoxing

    How quickly can any other #internet providers get me on line - #sky #virgin ? Not @bt_uk and I’ll tell you why after 😡😡😡 back to my MP @JamesDalyMP for the second day for help !

  • KerryM811

    @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?

  • JoshBancroftUK
    Josh Bancroft 🎙📻 (@JoshBancroftUK) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    I've asked both @bt_uk and @EE to solve some problems over the last couple of weeks. Both have failed, both seem to have forgotten after promising to get back to me. With so much competition this really shouldn't happen anymore.

  • storm_imaging
    Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi. I moved home and had my services transferred. No problem. Today I have received an email saying I will be charged for ending the contract early and received another email about returning kit?

  • LeahWhitehorse
    Leah Whitehorse (@LeahWhitehorse) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk Hi - No - it says no known issues.

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

    @Darth_Vivid @virginmedia @bt_uk @TalkTalk @SkyUK It still doesn't excuse the slowness, the constant drop outs, and the near impossible chance of getting through to customer service.

  • wrxmanpaul

    @Smeagle1845 @bt_uk No one should have to be abused in the first place. I take it you’ve never received bigotry?

  • miguelinho2910
    Michael (@miguelinho2910) reported from Middleton, England

    @bt_uk my 1571 service isn't working properly. I press 1 to listen to messages, it says I'm pressing 8. I say "one" after the beep, it says I'm saying "eight". I assumed it was my actual phone but I've now replaced it with a BT one and it does the same. Help please!

  • storm_imaging
    Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi, I’ve had an ongoing issue with a home move since last week. Apparently it’s being dealt with - this morning I’ve just received an email asking if I want the move cancelled. I don’t. I’m in the property. I’ve been messaging about this for some days now.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Red_Rescue
    Sebastian Colt (@Red_Rescue) reported

    @bt_uk Speaking to support on the phone anecdotally this seems to be a significant problem. I think the scale of it can be tracked by how many calls last less that a few seconds (due to dead air) or how many pin numbers are requested but not used. (as they are not supplied in time)

  • SConwaySmith
    Simon Conway-Smith (@SConwaySmith) reported

    If @bt_uk/@WeAreOpenreach want to survive, they need their current customer service systems consigning to the scrap heap. They are simply unfit for purpose. Took OVER 1 HOUR to raise a service request online to repair a vandalized external fibre connection, it should have taken 5 minutes, then the wrong address was assigned to the case and an engineer 85 miles away called to say he'd be there in a few minutes 🥴 Give me strength!

  • MrAndyMich
    Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t need to call any number I need BT and the people making these stupid decisions to realise they’re putting their customers at risk. The issue is you weren’t able to spot whether it was a scam number or not. So the question is why are BT as a company putting their customers through this? Please listen to what I’m saying and pass my deep concerns to the people making these stupid decisions.

  • Jacsplace3
    Jac Dee 🇺🇦 (@Jacsplace3) reported

    Dear @bt_uk We switched to @EE home broadband 2 months ago and it's been awful since. We're now paying for two bills. Customer service think we switched in September 2025 - incorrect. Today we have no broadband Goodness sake the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

    @bt_uk Good afternoon. Am having problems with my router. Can you help please?

    TSLG13007 (@TSLG13007) reported

    @bt_uk We have been with BT for decades and never known the customer service this bad. It is too complex to explain on here but after many years, we will be moving supplier

  • duncsand
    Duncan Anderson 🍃🔋⚡️🤖 (@duncsand) reported

    @neural_theory @bt_uk No way to cancel on the website and I really had to hunt to find the phone number - they're trying their hardest to make it difficult.

  • EmmaHarveyy25
    Schmemm25 (@EmmaHarveyy25) reported

    @bt_uk BT says no issue on the network yet our mobiles cannot access our home broadband. So frustrating. So much for hi-speed fibre. Time to move supplier

    .@bt_uk My broadband is down, my neighbours are fine. My wife needs it for work. No way to contact BT by phone. Fault registered - won't look until next week. Appalling service as usual.
