    @UghMustI @bt_uk Good afternoon. BT have been in touch today. They have liaised with Samsung who have updated the app with a fix. I have just checked it, and it works fine now. Thanks

    @bt_uk I am not a bt customer but still got a home call saying they were from by.

  • Finn_QPR Finn QPR 🤳🏻 (@Finn_QPR) reported

    @bt_uk never mind it’s gone back to how it normally is now, awful.

  • URangersmedia OfficialRangersMedia (@URangersmedia) reported

    @chris_sutton73 @btsport At least the Chelsea fans had a collective vote when establishing you as one of the worst ever signings.

  • chrisfliesplane Chris Flies Planes (@chrisfliesplane) reported

    So booked FTTP Fiber install with @bt_uk for 30th April (today). They changed the date to the 6th May for install but not service activation, meaning I'd be out of internet for a week. I phone up, they change the date of both to the 14th May... and then today, change the...

  • IFrancis62 Ian (@IFrancis62) reported

    @AlStewartOBE @bt_uk @btsport Yes the BBC Sport venture was a baby of Gavin Patterson - a very poor CEO

  • apthomason Andy Thomason (@apthomason) reported

    Huh? @bt_uk have decided to enable Web Protect without asking me.. and now stuff doesn't work, presumably due to some wacky routing. And get this, you can't turn it off on their website or app as the off switch does precisely nothing when you click it.

  • SpencerHoughts Spencer Houghton (@SpencerHoughts) reported

    @AlStewartOBE @bt_uk @btsport BT Sport is very poor compared to Sky Sport

  • DanielC23380649 Daniel Cummings (@DanielC23380649) reported

    @Sports_EmmaD @btsport Emma, any chance you could raise the incident at ibrox on Sunday night I'm sure you've been made aware of it or it may have escaped your attention

  • MrsKLBM Katie Matthews (@MrsKLBM) reported

    @bt_uk Awful service!! Told you I was moving 5 weeks ago, now on the 5th order as you cancel everyone down! No one ever calls back!! Still no internet, TV or landline. Sort it out

  • damienh35819639 damien hall (@damienh35819639) reported

    @chris_sutton73 @btsport Thank **** for that we don’t have to read your nonsense all weekend 👏🏻👏🏻

  • MayAubery Aubery Smythe May (@MayAubery) reported

    @howardgjennings @GaryLineker @btsport Only an arse hole would not understand what we won't miss you means For you we won't miss him if he is never on TV again

  • paulpresenteruk Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    @bt_uk I have had months of this lack in communication from BT and still the issue hasn’t been rectified - everyone seems to want to pass the book and not communicate. It’s frustrating, When i ask to speak to a manager it seems to be refused or some excuses made!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @bt_uk I'm going to head round and help him.

  • DaveB05950867 Dave B (@DaveB05950867) reported

    @DFletcherSport @btsport Just ban social media, it just causes problems

  • darrellcurrietv Darrell Currie (@darrellcurrietv) reported

    Scottish Football Extra 6.30pm @btsportfootball 📺. We support the @btsport campaign ‘Draw The Line’ to put an end to Social media abuse + online hate. On the show tonight @chris_sutton73, Ally McCoist and I give personal reflections on the abuse we’ve received. #DrawTheLine

  • SICKBOYJSPH Joseph (@SICKBOYJSPH) reported

    @Broccoliisgood @btsport No they don’t. Criticism for football is never ever inciting abuse. And if anybody is taking it that way they are stupid and need educating.

  • chris_sutton73 Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) reported

    I support the @btsport #DrawTheLine campaign. Let’s hope this campaign can make a difference and stop abuse on social media and online hate. Social media companies need to step up and stop giving abusers their platforms to spread hate. Off today at 3pm today.See you on Tuesday.

  • Natasha68077904 Natasha Hill (@Natasha68077904) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Not happy I’m dealing with no internet for the 5th week and all you have to do is update a serial number. Shocking service from @OpenreachHelp and @bt_uk. I have a disabled daughter who uses apps to calm her moods and doesn’t understand why her iPad isn’t working🤬

  • wils_lucy Lucy W (@wils_lucy) reported

    @bt_uk hi your wifi is starting to get on my nerves! 4th time it’s just ‘stopped working’ for no reason. I’m paying a fortune every month for seemingly nothing but hassle and your mini hubs are pointless because the work off phone signal which I don’t get at home 😤

  • sophb66 soph v. 20569 (@sophb66) reported

    @paulpresenteruk @bt_uk Oh really? That’s disgraceful, I do overtime for my work all the time never get paid it’s like people just won’t make any sacrifices for their company or customers! I really hope someone contacts you and you get answers!

  • EDPickle Huckleberry (@EDPickle) reported

    @bt_uk DM sent. Result is still unable to ‘activate’ the broadband for another week because of a bank holiday. Do people not use broadband on bank holidays? Ridiculous service and definitely NOT Superfast Broadband. I was better off with a Spectrum ZX80 on dial-up. 🐌 🐌 🐌

  • gillyjb60 gillie bryant 💙 (@gillyjb60) reported

    @bt_uk I have not working desperately need to access email

  • paulpresenteruk Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    Engineer booked / 26Apr - Didn’t attend Engineer re-booked / 28Apr - Didn’t attend Engineer re-booked / 30Apr - Been cancelled 😡 This is absolutely appalling service @BTCare and will now be taken further!! Worse provider ever!!!!

  • Dex65 Dex Dexter (@Dex65) reported

    @bt_uk Problems with my landline which online diagnosis says fix by JULY! No one to talk to..no chat.. anyone help??

  • chrisfliesplane Chris Flies Planes (@chrisfliesplane) reported

    ...install to the 18th May, and leave the service activation date as the 14th May. I phone up and there's nothing they can do. I have some patience but christ... in a time we're all working from home, @bt_uk are happy to just cut my internet for weeks at a time...

  • Kelspeth4 Kelspeth (@Kelspeth4) reported

    @btsport @arielhelwani the solution is obvious terminate social media..................................

  • Bustedboot Bill Nolan (@Bustedboot) reported

    @btsport I agree that online hate should stop but will media blackout work. Haters will only start up again after blackout while true fans etc pay the price. Yes report Haters, abuser's etc but U shouldn't punish the true fans

  • mrs_fed Jackie Federici (@mrs_fed) reported

    @robhornby @Ollie_Bayliss @btsport Maybe I’m missing the point but it seems to me like the whole class getting detention for a couple of bad kids. What will this actually achieve? If I do not like what someone has to say or preach on social media I get rid of them. Block the arseholes not punish everyone!
