  • CraigLUFC77 Craig🥇🏆 (@CraigLUFC77) reported from Leeds, England

    Does anyone else just shout "oh **** off" everytime the commentary team says we're sorry for any bad language you might have heard.. #SkySports #btsport #PremierLeague

  • Stephlarby Steph Larby (@Stephlarby) reported

    @bt_uk Your company has the worst customer service ever! I have phoned 5 times to speak to someone about my lack of internet and each time I was cut off and the problem was not resolved!! Please sort this out.

  • FlyingPigUK Flying Pig (@FlyingPigUK) reported

    @btsport watching Bristol v Clermont great game but ffs the endless drivel from the commentators talking over everything is awful

  • robholley Rob Holley (@robholley) reported from Camberwell, England

    @ladyjazmana That’s what I’m doing with BT. Was so tired of the slow speeds/no Internet and paying £55 for the privilege plus a land line (??) and BTSport (!!)

  • feedthegoss 𝕂ℝ𝕀𝕊 𝔾𝕆𝕊𝕊 (@feedthegoss) reported

    *******!.. the midlands derby on #btsport is as drab as the brummy accent 😴

  • nickib76 ❄❄ Nix❄❄ (@nickib76) reported

    @bt_uk Just had a thought, even though its a wired connection via mini hubs to TV box, would splitting the signal affect it? We had to split the signal recently to 2.4ghz and 5ghz was wondering if that might be the problem?

  • 4rickus4 Jack Rickus (@4rickus4) reported from Saint Nicholas, Wales

    @EE a few weeks back I could watch BTSport on my Xbox or Fire TV, now I can do neither without being told I need to upgrade my subscription. Can you help please?

  • EmperorMendoza Vladimir Raul (@EmperorMendoza) reported

    Jake: if you’ve never seen BT sport score before, trust me it’s worth giving it a go trust me, it’s really not, it’s the worst show on tv #WOLAVL #btsport

  • RebWarr13 Rebecca Warrington (@RebWarr13) reported

    Loving the erectile dysfunction advert on @btsport it is almost like they don't think women don't watch sport. Still waiting for an advert advertising to women that they should go get their intimate problems looked at too.

  • mikeondigital mikee11iott (@mikeondigital) reported

    @bt_uk Michael Elliott - I really need the connection team to call me as they sounded like they were going to resolve it rather than just cancel the order. 07805252808

  • mrdavidsykes 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴 (@mrdavidsykes) reported

    @bt_uk Yes. Many times. Your website said the issue was fixed at 6ish yesterday. It wasn’t so I called to helpline to be told it would be fixed at 9pm. It wasn’t so I just left until this morning. Again your website quoted another “fixed” message and again this was incorrect.

  • JoBrodie Jovember (@JoBrodie) reported

    @bt_uk are there known broadband problems in SE3? I'm usually on 50+mbps but currently on 0.8-2. Bills all paid, no other problems I can think of.

  • SirTanty Mr Angry (@SirTanty) reported

    @bt_uk hi, having trouble logging onto any of the my bt apps. Not recognising my username, passwords or anything I try. Tried ringing but switchboard wants to know if it’s phone, mobile, tv or billing. It’s everything!

  • CharlesRowett Charles Rowett (@CharlesRowett) reported

    @bt_uk glacially slow internet 0.6Mb & no phone line after house move, even live chat drops. All I get is “We are very busy right now...” - absolutely unacceptable customer service - just recruit more people. There’s plenty that need jobs right now!!

  • ArtVandelay65 Matt Spence (@ArtVandelay65) reported

    @shanebell9 @btsport Get this all the time @btsport, please fix this! It's pot luck whether the app will work or not

  • smithhillSue Sue Trousdale (@smithhillSue) reported

    @bt_uk I have reported a fault on my landline. Cannot get through on the phone (30-min wait) Can someone help here pls?

  • cath_paterson Catherine Paterson (@cath_paterson) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk so I have had to contact customer services again today, there was no plan to contact me as no order number. I have had to start from the beginning all over again, over 1.25 hours on the phone, the first date they can give me is 7 Jan, that’s 3 months since the first order

  • anttears Ant Tears (@anttears) reported

    Dear @bt_uk my mum is currently self isolating and in her 70’s. Her phone and internet lines are down and due back online after Christmas. She was promised a 4g hub but hasn’t received it and has difficulty getting a mobile signal at home. What can we do to help?

  • eemaalou Emma Lou (@eemaalou) reported

    Has anyone else noticed the @bt_uk broadband advert which, during a time when people are losing jobs and struggling financially, they suggest that even the people who can log in from home should fear losing their job to "the intern" if their connection is poor. Tone deaf.

  • evanderkleijn Ewout van der Kleijn (@evanderkleijn) reported

    @bt_uk please send out your router this Monday at the latest to avoid no fixed line broadband service My son is doing his A-levels and needs to go online. I can't believe your router is out of stock following the Black Friday deal. What did you expect? #btbroadband #disappointed

  • DunkMcDee Duncan McDonald (@DunkMcDee) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I got through to someone using Webchat and problem was resolved. All good. Thanks.

  • susiwatts Susie Watts (@susiwatts) reported

    Still struggling to get anywhere with @bt_uk despite promises to fix the fault for my elderly patients - today the engineers haven’t turned up! Fed up with hollow promises and poor service!. No phone since Monday! An absolute disgrace! Anyone on here know #philipjansen the CEO?

  • MattCarder1 Matt Carder (@MattCarder1) reported

    @btsport why does your app on fire tv stop every time it switches from Dolby vision HDR to non HDR before the adverts in football. Gives a message sorry there’s a problem playing the video, fine once restarted.🤨

  • dbcox7 Dominic Cox (@dbcox7) reported

    @bt_uk So still no difference with update to #BTCloud? Still being offered as update? Why haven't you taken this down? How much longer do #BT subscribers have to wait for a working version?
