  • paulccam Kayser Sauzee (@paulccam) reported

    @BTCare hi I am scheduled to get broadband router delivered on Friday. I currently don’t have an active Bt landline, i dissociated this when I ordered How can I check the sockets in my house are working before the kit arrives so I can maintain service as I switch from virgin thx

  • cfs_jo Jo (@cfs_jo) reported

    @bt_uk I have a broadband issue. I made a phone call (🙄) and now you’re asking me to rate the service. I wouldn’t recommend BT very highly due to the difficulty in contacting you but would give call handler Simon a 10/10 for his response. Can’t do this on your text feedback.

  • andysc Andy Stanford-Clark (@andysc) reported

    @titantulus @bt_uk Not for long… it will all be VOIP quite soon. BT “Digital Voice”. Then, no land line during a power cut … they persuaded OfCom to remove that clause from the service charter thingy

  • primo1354 stephen prince (@primo1354) reported

    @btsport I'm watching on Chromebook which is new and never had any problem's before and no I'm not getting any error message

  • A38254315 Elivs (@A38254315) reported

    @Spinkzilla @btsport “Free”? BT Sport is a subscription service.

  • NickAuger88 Nick Auger (@NickAuger88) reported

    @w2aps @btsport @btsportrugby Have they said you can cancel whilst in contract?

  • FifaFishing football fishing fifa (@FifaFishing) reported

    @bt_uk i really could do with some help please. Had a Bt tv box for a couple of weeks and it’s unusable for the live tv as I get an ipc6023 error message. Wasted over 2 hours on the phone trying to get help and was promised a call back last Thursday that never happened

  • PaulWrigley8 wriggs (@PaulWrigley8) reported

    @btsport Ridiculous that in these terrible times that companies want to take more money off people with PPV… we already pay too much for BT sport… Most of the big events are now PPV wrestling, boxing, UFC so the average person can’t afford to watch them

  • andysc Andy Stanford-Clark (@andysc) reported

    @peakatlas @Workshopshed @bt_uk Yes, we were talking about that yesterday - most responses thought that rebooting the router is usually a good thing, as it will renegotiate a better signal… so I think it’s probably a good thing. Haven’t tried it though.

  • EmzMcColl Emma McColl 💙 (@EmzMcColl) reported

    @bt_uk would like a response to when an elderly relatives phone-in will be fixed. Now more than 24hours with no phone line and no emergency community alarm.

  • evcharging66 evcharging66 🐔 (@evcharging66) reported

    @bt_uk So you waste money causing stress anxiety and worry when a email or text could do then hike up charges year on year. I wish to raise a complaint why we were targeted

  • LeslieDaWelsh1 LeslieDaWelsh1/ Leslie (@LeslieDaWelsh1) reported

    @bt_uk umm my internet has completely died and the website wont let me log in. I cant access any help and need the internet as we only using streaming devices for our TV!

  • basnettj Baz (@basnettj) reported

    @bt_uk you are a shim sham of shame. I waited from 8 am until 1 pm. And you never came.

  • TariqJabbar80 Tariq Jabbar (@TariqJabbar80) reported

    @bt_uk BT TALK TALK SKY Which gives me a maximum of 68mb per second All use the same openreach network and because of that I'm stuck with Virgin media and it costs me an arm and a leg for the service which I can get 300mb per second being an avid gamer

  • johncapspipes John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ☄️ (@johncapspipes) reported

    @bt_uk it has now been over 5 hours since i messaged about my wi-fi being down. still nothing. arseholes.

  • amycplus3 Amy (@amycplus3) reported

    @bt_uk I have been without internet since yesterday evening..kids can’t do their homework..we are all having to use 4G which is costing extra on top of our BT bill. Mini hub absolutely useless!! Please help!

  • zzxmp brandon (@zzxmp) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t have time for that **** can I cancel online

  • MoggyMarshman Moggy🛸🪐🚀👁️⃤ (@MoggyMarshman) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @bt_uk @schilvers1981 **** off BT ya skanks ! I’m cancelling my contract. Get a firestick

  • BridgerEric Eric Bridger (@BridgerEric) reported

    @bt_uk I am keen to end my current contract with you lot early. I certainly wouild not touch any new product from you. Dreadful company with poor customer service attitude.

  • peakatlas Peak Electronic Design Ltd 💙🇪🇺 (@peakatlas) reported

    @andysc @Workshopshed @bt_uk Absolutely Andy. I've only used a cheap power measurement socket and the value bobbles around a bit too 😬 What are your thoughts about switching off the router completely when not needed? I've heard that it can cause problems with the ISP's quality monitoring & line tweaking???

  • titantulus S Whit🌱🌼🐦 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇹🇪🇺💙💛 (@titantulus) reported

    @andysc @bt_uk There is some power coming in over the telephone line. Maybe they should make routers that use this to supplement usage. I know we have to pay for a phoneline rental that we never use.

  • shawnharry Shawn Harry (@shawnharry) reported

    @teeny_beanie911 @bt_uk Get yourself a cheap 4G router with a #SMARTY sim. There's no contract. Cancel any time and unlimited data only costs you £20 p/m. No install fee either. Assuming your cell coverage is good this is a v cost effective solution.

  • tony_cowin Tony (@tony_cowin) reported

    @Richard66629722 @bt_uk Every new customer has a bonus period. You probably did and if you didn't you should have shopped better.

  • Spinkzilla Ian Eccles (@Spinkzilla) reported

    @dallowspicer @btsport My bad. Let me it this way; We're lucky to be paying a cheaper monthly price for every fight night & the majority of PPVs compared with our friends across the atlantic imo.

  • Ben_P_Adams Badams (@Ben_P_Adams) reported

    @bt_uk Is there a problem with internet in the Birmingham area?

  • zzxmp brandon (@zzxmp) reported

    @btsport How do I cancel bt sport again?

  • ingridk Ingrid Koehler (@ingridk) reported

    Our broadband has been down for almost two weeks. Countless promises that someone would be out 'tomorrow'. And now our replacement hub isn't working so well either. @bt_uk
