Is BT (British Telecom) having an outage in Bedford, England?

@BTCare why do you replace DNS searches without permission ? Surely that’s not allowed as you’re modifying redirected traffic on an internal network. Due to the new GDPR laws you have to have given permission not implied.

@BTCare For clarity: loaning me a refurbished home hub (charge me if I don't return it, by all means) to allow you to take the logs you want would have resolved this straight away. I'm only saying that to - hopefully - help you improve your service in the future.

@BTCare Me too, but it is what it is. The quality of the technical service has always been great, and I certainly would have stayed if it had not been for this recent VDSL issue which support won't look at. If your processes change then maybe I'll be back in the future.

@BTCare loyalty team just got a reality check. I'm sorry for the lady, but if your technical support refuse to support customers, and you ask me why I'm leaving, then you're going to get my honest response.

@BTCare However, I feel we have come to an impasse. BT will not look into the issue because I am not using a home hub, yet I am not willing to sign an additional contract simply for you to collect logs. Thank you for your time.

@BTCare No network issues have been identified simply because you "cannot test" without the home hub. That's not what that point says at all; it says you are not responsible for the equipment. I can provide logs proving the line issue and you can see the degredation of the line profile.

@BTCare FYI: I am not asking for support on my router. My router has been working fine for years. I am asking for support on your service.

@BTCare Can you point me to the specific section? I can see a definition of equipment, and some clauses that refer to you not supporting customer-provided equipment, but none that mandate the use of said equipment for the service to be supported. Thanks Dee.

@BTCare @Plusnet Asking me to re-contract simply to diagnose an issue which appears - at this juncture - to be within your network is not an especially customer-first attitude. I know the VDSL dropping could be a number of things, but it is highly likely those things originate outside of my kit.

@BTCare @Plusnet Yes, it was broken so I threw it away. I appreciate trying to get logs, but the VDSL is being dropped many times a day. This will be logged at your side too.

@BTCare Yes, they suggested that I phone your sales line and subscribe to a new contract where - and I quote - I "may even get one free, depending on my new contract". This is a support issue, not a sales opportunity.

@BTCare If you guys require a home hub to diagnose issues then I am not sure where we go. I am not extending my (already expensive) BT contract simply for you to be able to diagnose the service I already pay for.

@BTCare I already have a chat going. So far as I can see your entire support structure revolves around having a home hub. Mine broke years ago.

Is there anyone @BTCare who can help diagnose a VDSL issue if I'm not running a home hub? Absolutely painful. Home hub not mandated for service, and I don't have one!

@Matthias_FC @BTCare Arrghhhh! It worked for a couple of hours this afternoon but now it's down again.

@BTCare Sadly the status page shows the fault from my landline number, but then gets me to login to my account which then says no fault. Can't you lookup SG6 to see what's going on?

@BTCare It tells me I have an open fault and that somebody else has reported problems that have been fixed. Speaking to my neighbours though it seems there is a larger outage in Letchworth.

@BTCare Broadband faults in Letchworth (SG6). Can you provide more info on issue and ETA for a fix?

@BTCare do you have a super fast broadband problem at your Oakley Bedford exchange. I can’t get broadband

@BTCare hi, any idea when broadband will be fixed in MK43 area? Been down since approx 11:30am today.

@StuartDavies @BTCare If they proactively provided the 4G-provided router then that would be useful; I can set up my draytek to automatically use it as a backup route if the VDSL dies. But it appears that it's on-demand as issues are reported, which is less useful.

I don't understand @BTCare's latest email. Is "Superfast fibre plus" basically just rebranded Infinity 2? I can't see BT Sport mentioned, there's some price freeze promise, and a 4G-backed router in case of issues. But it's basically the same tech, speed, etc., right?

@btsport UFC fight spoilt by lousy sound....down to you or the @ufc ?

@BTCare Hi Dale :) One Sims A Old Style Sim Card To Wrong Number, Yet I Can Take Out Put In Main Phone Because It Takes Next Sim Down, Yet Means I Have No Old Sims Left :/ I Transferred 4 Today & My Accidentally Done Others Too, Yet Will Wait Until Midnight :)

@BTCare I never seen that e mail so I would of never of know mate

@BTCare I spoke to them. They say there is a problem with the Yahoo server. Why don’t you say this on your website and keep people updated? #Frustrating

@BTCare fancy explaining what the hell is wrong with your internet today? Because we are 5 mins away from calling Sky to switch back. Waste of money and rubbish customer service.

@BTCare hi, absaloutly outraged that we are still waiting after 5 weeks to have our internet set up after being told 5 days. Noones helping, making a formal complaint on all platforms if this is not done!

@btbusinesscare phoned again to report the issue this member of staff has sent ANOTHER engineer out who has once again informed me he cant fix anything because BT have cut my number off This is a disgrace completly & utterly disgusting that im still in the same position as day 1

@BTCare worst internet we’ve ever had. Won’t connect to WiFi, won’t even load the log in page. Looks like we’re going back to sky!

@BTCare I don't have a ref number ATM, but BT have just texted and an engineer is supposed to be arriving this morning. Thanks for your help.

@BTCare After being passed to Bhavia in India and giving him my mobile number to call me back incase there were any issues he cut me off and didn’t call me back. Issues still not sorted.

@BTCare Is there a problem in the 01706 dial code area, I’ve tried several numbers from my mobile, nine are connecting. Says the number isn’t recognised or it just cuts off. No ring tone!!

@BTCare I tweet to vent at BT lying to its customer by blaming our SPF records, and you respond as if we have trouble *sending* email???
