    @btbusinesscare 4G box hasn’t worked. What do you suggest we do now ? We are going into another week with no internet. Appalling customer service.

    @btbusinesscare what does it take to get to speak to a person for business support. Can’t get online and report a fault but unable to speak to a person to get help. Shocking service 🤬🤬🤬

    @bt_uk you still haven’t fixed what you did. Admitted to accidentally switching off our broadband and my elderly boss and his son were up till 4am at @OrionCinema trying to find an alternative way to keep our business running. We’re barely keeping our heads above water. HELP!!!

    @PeterRicke63494 @JamesMelville Live sport from an outlet like BTSport (now renamed) is also covered by the BBC licence fee. I think live sport on any streaming service like YouTube would be the same, but not watching an old video of something or other on the same channel. Its a daft system.

    @btbusinesscare Another week and another attempt to get BT issues sorted. Just absolutely incapable. Everything has to be done Chat. I am sure I wil gte an agent within the next hour who will be absolutely useless and just fob me off again.

    @bt_uk What a joke of a reply. As I said, my boss was on the phone to you for hours on end; 4.5hours being passed from pillar to post and you want him to do that again? Why does the customer have to do all the chasing for your mistake?

    @BTCare Is there any service issues today? My connection is jumping all over the place. 35 one minute 60 the next but never any consistency to make full use of the internet. Cursed with never ending buffering. As a disabled person I rely on this access.

    @btbusinesscare we are a small business in Edinburgh. Our phone line and internet has been down since the 6th of October. The fault has been reported numerous times but alas to no avail. It seems BT is not interested in our loss of business. The Garage Edinburgh.

    @btbusinesscare broadband cable has come down in the road and now several residential and business premises without broadband for 4 days. Estimated repair date moves forward on a daily basis. How long will this take? Will I receive a discount off my bill for no service?

    I'm with BT, through them I get EE, so I can use TNT Sports, which I have to use Discovery+ to watch, and now they're saying I need an HBOMax account, but when I go to login they don't recognise my email, so I can't watch any sports that I've paid for. @bt_uk @EE @discoveryplus

    @BTCare, your company is atrocious! I am so tired of dealing with idiotic, barely no english speaking customer service team and paying out so much money for a service that still can't run properly and takes you weeks if not months to fix!!!! Piss poor, and I will be switching!!

    @bt_uk @BTCare I have been a loyal customer of yours for about 2 years now but intend to change now. Having changed my address a year ago, i am now told that i had a new contract last year as soon as i moved in to the new address. This is unethical on so many different levels.

    @btbusinesscare I tried the links you sent for WhatsApp and got absolutely nowhere, BT customer service is absolutely terrible. I can't emphasise how bad your customer service is.

    @StokeyyG2 @martynziegler Never paid to watch champions league since it was first on btsport. Started out as a deal with sky for an £5 a month. Then increased to £10 then £30. Been streaming it since

    @kwaker_oats_ We had bigger selling but did move down only 3-4% compared to 8% last week. I have feeling sellers in BTCare out of coins and we are in the 6 month accumulation territory, need some chaotic news to dumbe here before liquidating some shorts at 105k. Kek

    @btbusinesscare glad to know your billing team couldn’t wait to go home instead of resolving our issue which is part of an on-going complaint, I have had to shut the business for the night and cancel a birthday party whilst they went home
