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 Just been told by your on line chat people that there is an outage for all BT email clients, can you confirm?

When I was a kid a POAK was an eye infection. What’s all this make a word out of an acronym shit? Siska Moscow my arse #btsport #chelsea

@BTCare absolutely appalling customer service. 7 calls, 3 hang ups and still issue is not resolved with email account. Pathetic.

@BTCare what’s the point of me giving you loads of info for you to then send an ‘internal’ engineer when we need an ‘external’ one??? No shit Sherlock. Without a phone for 2 weeks - you’ve given my l/line no to someone else. Utter #disgrace. When will external engineer arrive?

@BTCare @gavalar83 I don't think the problem is limited to the app. I can't access the enhanced player via the website either. The link to it is missing. There's no option to use it. I've had this problem since last night. It was there to begin with yesterday but then has disappeared ever since.

@BTCare No I gave up considering I had to be up early for work. I think BT forget we all work for a living and cannot sit on the phone for over an hour to try and do what your customer care had told me to do. Waste of my time.

@btsport Absolute shambles of a service, can't see me keeping this much longer

@ScotNational @BTCare Is 100% coverage by 2021 possible? I've been told I'll always be on dial up which is bad enough but being the only one in the country would just feel like you're just picking on me...

@BTCare anything you guys can do to help, Not your fault in the first place but surely you can do something to help speed it up. Leaving a business with no internet for two weeks is not cool!

Hey @BTCare why is my internet speed 40Mb/s down \ 18Mb/s up when I pay for 64Mb/s down \ 20Mb/s up in Doncaster? #bt #btbroadband #speedtest
