    @bt_uk Which doesn’t really help when I have to work at home and my son has to do online lessons.

  • JuFitJuJu Julian (@JuFitJuJu) reported

    @BTCare morning, due to a poor signal to my TV I want to move my router can you recommend the correct extension wires to keep my router and telephone connected to my master socket, should be about 3 metres in length

  • jessicatamman Jessica Tamman (@jessicatamman) reported

    @bt_uk hi! We’ve received several calls recently with regards to disconnecting our landline and internet connection. This is most certainly a scam as it’s automated. I have the number it’s been called from this time. Can you help?

  • GymSim Gymsim (@GymSim) reported

    .@bt_uk had Smart hub 2 installed yesterday for super fast fiber broadband. It doesn't work! have nothing. We don't get how signal here either. Called BT, engineers don't work weekends. Left us dead in the water. Should never have stayed with BT let alone upgraded

  • gherkinskilla35 Binyamin (@gherkinskilla35) reported

    2 days in a row my wifi disconnects randomly and decides to have a blackout. Multiple times @bt_uk @bt_uk

  • Trulyshocking Truly Shocking (@Trulyshocking) reported

    @bt_uk I’m on fibre 1 with approx 12 months remaining on 24 month contract. Looking at terminating services, would I be correct in assuming termination fees are approx 12 x monthly bill? Would moving service to new property mean I have to have to sign up for further 24 months?

  • TheNotoriousMJT Mike Torpey (@TheNotoriousMJT) reported

    @BenDavison_ @btsport @TheNotoriousMMA May as well buy Bushmills it's the exact same product but not as ****

  • thebishop23 Karl Bishop (@thebishop23) reported

    @bt_uk I’m sorry I am not happy with this outcome - it’s poor service and as you say you are hiding behind a lockdown that was already in force when you took the order and arranged the date. Ref to UK lockdown is inaccurate and inappropriate.

  • nlw2595 Natalie (@nlw2595) reported

    @bt_uk is this a legit number? Phoned at 7.30 this morning saying someone had tried to hack our computer, asked if our internet was connected. Sounded suspicious so put the phone down, haven’t heard anything since. Number is: 01782353533

  • atiyehk Atiyeh Kandevani (@atiyehk) reported

    @btbusinesscare @CareHarmony What is that we need to do for a BT line to work! ? One week and still awaiting a solution? How can a business survive like this ?

  • JohnJsestuary John (@JohnJsestuary) reported

    @bt_uk No BT do not provide a good service and the wi fi is slow so always read their small print

  • TwitTwat3 KB (@TwitTwat3) reported

    Did pointing just say “the Melbourne stars are going to get **** on” #BBL10 @btsportcricket @btsport

  • RayGrant2000 Ray G (@RayGrant2000) reported

    @BenDavison_ @btsport @TheNotoriousMMA Proper 12, pour it down the sink. Poor quality blended whiskey.

  • ukSilencer 📛woz (@ukSilencer) reported

    @bt_uk @TheWarrior76 where is your customer support in a pandemic ? normally everyone goes round to a mates house and splits the ppv price... this isnt possible so I think you should've halved the price at least to show good will to your customers

  • Junior_Uzzy Junior Uzzy (@Junior_Uzzy) reported

    @BTCare - Poor BigBash loss of coverage today’s game 😡😡 @btsport @BTCare - You should compensate #BBL10

  • _c00k13_ C00k13 (@_c00k13_) reported

  • HJ_Mason Happy Mason (@HJ_Mason) reported

    Awful service yet again from @btsport @BTCare Resolved a complaint a few weeks ago,which they’ve now ignored & overcharged yet again.Charging me double what they agreed.Why do you have to make dealing with you so difficult? By far the worst company to deal with. @MoneySavingExp

  • parky_1987 David Park 🏌️ (@parky_1987) reported

    @PaulPonting @btsport I haven't but just be aware it renews automatically after the 30 days if you don't cancel.

  • goodman_pamela Pamela Goodman (@goodman_pamela) reported

    @bt_uk how interesting it is that BT can randomly change the fix date of your broken broadband by a further 7 days (after it has already been down for 5) without any explanation whatsoever to those affected. Beggars belief!

  • vikkilg Tori (@vikkilg) reported

    @bt_uk Gerard and Andrew in the connections department refuse to let you speak with a manager or supervisor to raise a complaint. You service is absolutely terrible and your staff are laughing about it!!!!!

  • GoMcMahon #DocMartin (@GoMcMahon) reported

    @virginmedia Go on now tweet your last Annual report, show us the profits you've made and how much the board and CEO are paid. UK broadband services are amongst the worst in the modern world, and the highest priced. VM & @Bt_UK have dragged their arses for decades whilst the world moved on.

  • creamyegguk Georgina Cham (@creamyegguk) reported

    @bt_uk Shocking service both via phone and WiFi signal. WiFi keeps dropping out despite what BT promises, which is why I am leaving BT within the next two weeks. I definitely will not be returning. Please sort out my speeds today!!!

  • blakeyt27 blakeyt27 (@blakeyt27) reported

    @bt_uk out done themselves. Sending a engineer today (which should of been Thursday). Then the engineer says he’s the wrong engineer can’t fix the issue. Whole week nearly without internet now. And apparently someone is coming on Monday. Doubtful.

  • TonyCarty7 tony (@TonyCarty7) reported

    @bt_uk I've got stuff to do can you help??

  • RussMichaels Russ Michaels Consulting (@RussMichaels) reported

    @btbusinesscare What about when your connection goes down after 5pm or you work nights? On your website is says the phone number is 24/7 but this is not true. Every time I call it in the evening it says you are closed.

  • bloody56 John Blood (@bloody56) reported from Clifton, England

    @bt_uk Hello, BT here. We're sorry it's taking longer than we thought to fix your fault. The engineers need to do some further work on your line and this is scheduled for 21/01. We'll be back in touch on 23/01 with an update. What time today? VOL013-555360829507

  • normandie66 graham o'gorman (@normandie66) reported

    @bt_uk I was paying twice as much compared to a new customer because I was out of contract , when I cancelled I suddenly became your best friend. Too late you should look after your loyal customers .

  • Drthomas1962 Duncan (@Drthomas1962) reported

    @bt_uk I hope you are going to fix the internet in Hereford HR2 Holme Lacy Road as the control box was flooded again. Please fix ASAP

  • Diamond_Sinatra 🦅 Jon With No H 🦅 (@Diamond_Sinatra) reported

    @bt_uk flashing pink on my hub this morning, entered my number on your site and says it’s not valid. Any issues in Hamilton Scotland area?
