    @bt_uk ok is there anyone you can put me through to so i can get a final figure to cancel as i won’t be paying any increase cheers

  • randommusings80 Muhammad5 (@randommusings80) reported

    @Thunder_Cheek @LFCTransferRoom @btsport If you manage to do that 2 things will happen. First, you’ll have the privilege of further engagement & second you’ll disprove the presumption that your brain is vermiculated. If you don’t do that, I’ll block you for being stupid.

  • navihtch navi (@navihtch) reported

    @btsport your app sucks

  • jmhume Jeff Hume (@jmhume) reported

    @bt_uk - are you going to do the external work on Mon 27th Feb or let me down once again? Is my forth installation date going to be missed - 2nd Mar? You have gone very quite!

  • WhitsonDestini Destini whitson (@WhitsonDestini) reported

    @bt_uk absolutely sham I didn’t enter a contract and started it a year ago feb with tv and broadband to be told in may I app called and started a contract when I infact didn’t what a absolute scam when the wifi has been broken for 6+ months always slow and dnt watch telly

  • alickie66 alickie (@alickie66) reported

    @bt_uk It's worse than a nightmare. Current BT Internet very poor. Loyal customer over many years counts for nothing with BT. No explanations given just upgrade put further and further back. Terrible customer service

  • Ettshort Ett Short (@Ettshort) reported

    @bt_uk Over the past 2 weeks I have had the WORST customer service from your team and the issue is still not resolved. Currently still waiting for my 3rd callback which will never come. Promises broken, blatantly lied to and again and again fobbed off!

  • jonnyfromrhu Jonathan (@jonnyfromrhu) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you for your reply. This issue did finally get resolved however 👍

  • CatieCraig Catie🌶️ (‘23 Remix) (@CatieCraig) reported

    @SlimySnail @bt_uk @OctopusEnergy Oh bloody hell, I’m so sorry, that’s appalling service x

  • randommusings80 Muhammad5 (@randommusings80) reported

    @Thunder_Cheek @LFCTransferRoom @btsport Undoubtedly there were morons like you that would have argued that point because you’d probably never heard of Wenger. If Arsenal had taken your stupid approach of: “Well there is no obvious candidate out there,” would they have won the trophies they did under Wenger?

  • WelshGent69 🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿WG (@WelshGent69) reported

    Once again @SkySportsPL picture quality is ****!!! Totally unwatchable, at least @btsport and @PrimeVideo give you HD for your subscription

  • PabloVal46 Pablo Valente (@PabloVal46) reported

    @SkySportsPL what a poor quality image, what a shame @btsport is better I would probably change

  • jonnyfromrhu Jonathan (@jonnyfromrhu) reported

    @ananyah @bt_uk Have to say, after my mother relieved some appalling 'customer service' from them during a house move it totally put me off ever using them

  • afcbuddy ▁ ▂ ▄ ⛔️ Ⓑⓤⓓⓩ ⛔️ ▄ ▂ ▁ (@afcbuddy) reported

    Btw, @bt_uk I have an open complaint registered. I was meant to get a call on Monday last week. That changed to Friday. Which has been changed to Monday this week. You do know I can go join Sky for £25 p/m. Virgin media for £64. And my contract expires in in 2.5 weeks with you?

  • KatKinLee Kat Southwell (nee Lee) (@KatKinLee) reported

    @bt_uk We’ve been on numerous calls and chats with BT and the answer is that it’s not your problem as @DisneyPlusHelp should just ‘know’ which ranges of dynamic IP addresses you use in the UK. Disney say they need a list from BT (tech team to tech team) to update their whitelist.

  • JellyBaby_Who Tom G (@JellyBaby_Who) reported

    @bt_uk Having trouble logging in. It was fine last night, but now I can't log in. I have not received an email. The password I made last night does not nor does those sent via SMS. I paid for 5 day access.

  • D4v3_d Dave (@D4v3_d) reported from Darlington, England

    @bt_uk evening... Hoping you can help, we are due to have full fibre installed next week, the service is provided via the telegraph pole in the rear alley, is it possible for the engineer to run the cable over the roof and install the ont at the front of the house? Thanks

  • JGraceful2 J Graceful (@JGraceful2) reported

    @chris_sutton73 literally a pumped up, over opinionated, self inflated ******* **** every week on BTsport, ruining the show. What a ****. Shut ******** up and stop trying to cause arguments. You were **** on the pitch and **** commentating about it.

  • Ads_Simpson Adam Simpson (@Ads_Simpson) reported

    How do @btsportfootball @btsport keep paying Peter Walton for analysis. He’s only ever going to side with the referees club. It’s never impartial, he was sweating so bad when doubling down #EVEAVL

  • craigharper7 Harper (@craigharper7) reported

    @chriswatson187 @btsport It's beyond a joke now, this today was as bad as it gets...ref was awful but if an X ref says shite like that what chance do we have

  • ananyah Michelle (@ananyah) reported

    Argh. If having to move out of my apartment after a breakup wasn’t bad enough, I’ve just been quoted £630 to cancel my @bt_uk contract even though I cannot move the service to my temporary new location as BT Fibre isn’t available. WTF?!

  • alickie66 alickie (@alickie66) reported

    Anyone else had problems getting wifi from @bt_uk ? My experience is shocking. Lied to by sales and customer service. Currently waited over month. Now saying several more weeks. Nothing done at all. Would definitely not recommend

  • ThatSpicydragon Kyle Richardson (@ThatSpicydragon) reported

    @bt_uk There are less cuts in a nursery arts&craft session than your network. Being an artist, editor and writer has been shiter than a hippo's arse 'cause of BT!

  • ThatSpicydragon Kyle Richardson (@ThatSpicydragon) reported

    @bt_uk Banned from your page? Mate if your company was banned from MY LIFE there'd be a noticeable 70% increase in moral. Your service is unacceptable and has brought more misery than an apple-scented carrion of a ******* llama!

  • alickie66 alickie (@alickie66) reported

    @bt_uk What would be the point. I've spent hours on the phone and got nowhere. Seems more practical to let others know to avoid BT. Truly shocking service.

  • PapaStrider Johno (@PapaStrider) reported

    @bt_uk after spending hours following your advice I still do not have a working RING doorbell. Now I’m told it’s not your problem. You certainly know how to waste your customers time & put them off BT.

  • randommusings80 Muhammad5 (@randommusings80) reported

    @Thunder_Cheek @LFCTransferRoom @btsport …there’s nobody out there, or are you proposing that we just carry on ad infinitum. Fourth, if every club posited your fear of who else is out there, there would never be a change. Imagine people argued that Wenger is an unknown from a poor league & Jose is inexperienced.

  • 1dominic_ dominic (@1dominic_) reported

    Please stop putting this **** team on tv so I’m not tempted to put it on. @skysports @btsport #LFC

  • JoeReynoldsMMA_ Joseph Reynolds (@JoeReynoldsMMA_) reported

    @bt_uk Catherine, i have been through this ordeal. And there was no fix. Therefore. I COMMAND that myself and BT compete on the UFC 286 card to find the no1 top dog 🐕. Have a lovely weekend however!

  • JoeReynoldsMMA_ Joseph Reynolds (@JoeReynoldsMMA_) reported

    @bt_uk I challenge you to a 1 on 1 contest in whatever you choose. If I win. You fix my WiFi. If I lose. You fix my WiFi. The ball is in your court
