On its website, BT has apologised to impacted customers and said it is ‘investigating the cause’. Other services including Broadband, TV and mobile packages appear to be unaffected.
A BT spokesperson told The Metro : ‘We’re aware that some BT email customers are unable to access their email on webmail and via the app.
‘We’re investigating the cause of this and we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.’
‘Alternatively, customers can switch off wifi and use mobile data to access their email. No other BT service is impacted.’
One user wrote: ‘I can’t even put into words how angry and upset I am with [BT] just now, absolute nightmare and extremely unhelpful.’
Many customers expressed their frustrations at BT’s lack of visible communication about the status of their service.
