    Fair play to the @WeAreOpenreach engineers tonight. Internet went off in village #fordham about 3pm (I think thanks to some roadworks for new housing estate) . Way past midnight and the engineers still at it trying to fix. Great effort lads @bt_uk

  • Mac1Don Don Mackenzie (@Mac1Don) reported from Harrogate, England

    In which case @Harrogatebc Environmental Protection may act to secure removal or repair of the hazard. It would help if @bt_uk identify alleged current owner.

    Funny how now that my @bt_uk services are up and running, I’m getting calls and texts all the time from them asking if it’s all ok and can they close the complaint. When my services were out (for 4 weeks) I couldn’t get hold of them for love nor money! 🤔

    @CllrEmmaMorse @virginmedia @bt_uk @SkyUK @VodafoneUK @BenPBradshaw Amazing how we are living in this “Digital Age” and yet there are these “Connectivity Black Spots” within the city 🙄 Amazing and disappointing the private companies don’t want to help/get more customers 😕 @BenPBradshaw works so hard for Exeter, lobbying away on everything!😊👍

  • Bulldog_Badger Bulldog Badger (@Bulldog_Badger) reported from Herefordshire, England

    @btsport cancelled my BT sports package because of the PPV rip offs, when I subscribed UFC was included in the price.. I was mis-sold so not only have you not made a sale, you lost a customer!

  • vik_seth21 Vik Seth (@vik_seth21) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Shocking from @bt_uk to hike their sports pack prices whilst 3 months into an 18 month contract. Their customer service is shocking as well. People refusing to speak to me about the issue and others transferring me mid sentence #wouldnotrecommend #poorshow #customerservicefail

  • Kjones1892 Keith Jones (@Kjones1892) reported from Halewood, England

    @bt_uk He said he was from BT and wanted to reduce my price for BT sports by adding phone and broadband .... he was very rude. I told him my employer pays for my line rental and broadband, he basically called me a liar
