  Another 3 hours on phone to @bt_uk today. Still unresolved, still no call back from manager, still no email as promised from bosses. Comfortably the worst customer service in the UK.

  @countrymousie @btbusinesscare I wouldn't have thought so. You can keep your landline but you would need to move it -eventually - to a 'digital supplier' when the line service finally ends. However, I checked with Dr Google & his Elves & they made the following points which sound like very good news. "Starlink does not directly provide a traditional copper landline service, but it can fully replace one as part of the UK PSTN switch-off by supporting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. You can keep your existing phone number and handset by using a VoIP adapter connected to the Starlink router, suitable for replacing old copper lines. How it Works: Starlink provides high-speed internet, allowing you to use third-party VoIP providers (e.g., Plexatalk, Premitel) to make calls via your internet connection. Requirements: You will need a VoIP Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA) to plug your existing telephone handset into the Starlink Wi-Fi router. Suitability: VoIP over Starlink is ideal for rural areas where copper is being removed, offering sufficient speed and reliability.Alternatives: If you do not wish to use VoIP, you may look at mobile phone-based solutions, which are also often used when replacing old copper lines. As the UK moves towards a digital-only network by 2027, switching to a VoIP service via a broadband connection like Starlink is a common solution." You need to find & check it al lout with a good IT man to help you through the key steps & stages. You may also need to invest in new telephone hand sets around your house to replace your old BT ones. You won't need wires to connect them, it all works digitally through the air.

  @bt_uk our cordless handset is showing a message ,check landline, we have completed every check online and no problem with landline. We have phoned you and messaged you and just go around in circles with no one to speak to. We just want you to come out. Please help!

  @bt_uk @simboman The BT Guides are telling me that this problem, logging into account, is a known issue and @BT_UK are working to resolve it. I note Allison Kirkby is going to retrieve the battered BT brand. Good luck Allison.

  @bt_uk seeing as your saying I do not have an account does that mean I can cancel my direct debt and not make anymore payments for my services? Because it’s not very good trying to access account to make changes and been told no account yet your happy taking £70 a month out bank

  @bt_uk Appalling service. You did not complete our installation on the 20th as promised, so we've been left with no phone, internet, and our security cameras and entry phone system are offline. Thanks
