    @bt_uk my complaint VOL013-623045051740 closed without any resolution and without my consent by your worst customer service . You are violating Omdurman

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

    @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.

    do not touch that thermostat (@karensskitchen) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk We can't get through on email or customer chat. Currently on hold on the phone. Is broadband down in M16, Manchester?

  • willisclarkie
    Will (@willisclarkie) reported from Manchester, England

    pretty good of Root, Malan and Pope to spare @btsport’s blushes by making 90% of the audience turn off the telly, leaving the technical issues to go unnoticed

  • 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?

  • ChelleAbraham
    Michelle Abraham (@ChelleAbraham) reported from Wigan, England

    @bt_uk Hi , we have moved over to you from sky & our broadband will be connected on 28th March. I've created a BT login but I can't access my email as I want my email address to be a BT one. I've tried several times but no luck.

    Just an update for you @MarcAllera , I've had a phone call from the @bt_uk social media team because they thought I was talking about a BT mobile issue even though all my tweets show its an issue with @EE - come on team, this is simple stuff....

  • couser85
    Daniel Couser (@couser85) reported from Bury, England

    @bt_uk hi your internet has been nearly non existent for the last few days! Signal keeps dropping and hub is tripping all colours of the rainbow!

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

    @bt_uk eventually get through and you guys tell me I'm wrong about my Internet intermittent issues your agents are rude and then hung up on me. 50 mins on the phone to be hung up on.

  • emstoth
    EMMA STOTHARD (@emstoth) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk I was told when I organised it I would have signal here...I’m only a few miles out of Manchester City centre. Should both mini hubs work regardless, it isn’t just one of the other?

    @EEBroadbandUK @Ofcom @bt_uk Cheers for the horrific broadband you supply to my parent’s home. Every time I come back here & try to watch a football match or the Formula 1 it fails. They keep getting engineers out but u never fix it, yet you keep charging them a fortune tune?

  • tctantan
    Holly ®️ (@tctantan) reported from Exeter, England

    Almost a yr after i left...and im still getting emails and texts from @bt_uk telling me my bill is ready .. plus they never paid me the money they owed me #BT #EE make it stop

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @TerryPDunn @bt_uk I'm also angry & frustrated that for weeks @BT 'guides' have taken my calls for help and either said they have passed the problem to technical team or latest contact was escalated to complaint & complaint closed within minutes of it being taken.

  • VicJohnson04
    Vicky Johnson (@VicJohnson04) reported

    @skytv £39.95 to send me a new box and I have to install it myself! when I’m already with you! Daylight bloody robbery @bt_uk I think you’ve got yourself a new customer!!!!

    @Nigelh7n @bt_uk it’s affecting be so many people and they can’t fix it - we all need to push for compensation

  • ALivMusico
    Andrhu (@ALivMusico) reported

    @bt_uk MyBT is a mess. I’m stuck in a loop. When I log in it says I have to update the username to an email address. When I do so it says it’s already in use (it’s the one I use to log in?) end up in a never ending loop. Can’t pay the bill. What’s going on?

  • omotforest
    David Sinfield (@omotforest) reported

    Dear @bt_uk You do not have my consent to install anything on my property. If it is free, it cannot be for my benefit. It's for yours. If it's cheaper for you, you can give me a share of your savings. I had no choice over the digital voice downgrade. @openreach will have to trespass to install it. If it is a condition of receiving service, say so and I will seek alternatives. (@Starlink or 5g) Is it on the T&C's? A letter is on its way to your registered address. David Sinfield.

    @ArmchairAdml @bt_uk this elderly gentleman has been a loyal customer for many years. He is now out of contract paying an extortionate price. Surely you can assist him in obtaining a reasonable priced package for his needs, and perhaps issue a refund for out of contract price hike?
