    @YouViewSupport @StrudwickM @bt_uk @itvhub @curryspcworld I forgot to say that your solution worked a charm! I noticed some privacy boxes were unticked, so I just allowed all and it worked. Thank you 😊

  • thegstokes Gav Stokes (@thegstokes) reported from Earl Shilton, England

    @bt_uk If I’m honest, I would rather you terminate my contract now, so I can look at alternative providers which actually work!

  • jamesvertigan James Vertigan (@jamesvertigan) reported from Ealing, England

    @bt_uk Seems to be back up to normal speeds now so was probably just an overnight outage, although the completion date on that fault has now changed by a day.

  • danygraig70 Sarah Bell (@danygraig70) reported from Porthcawl, Wales

    @BTGroup @bt_uk I have had huge problems with my internet for many months. It has resulted in the road being dug up, new cables put in and a new hub. The customer service I received from Gurleen in the Leicester office has been 1st class. She cared. Many thanks to her!

  • JohnEtheridge79 ⚽️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏏🏆 (@JohnEtheridge79) reported from Old Colwyn, Wales

    @bt_uk I can go go so far and when I try the service status page it won’t load, frustrating as I’m with BT mobile as well. Surely you can check service status for my postcode LL29 8ET

  • ClaireFenella 🌷Claire Fenella E 🌷 (@ClaireFenella) reported from Long Ashton, England

    @bt_uk I am not wasting any more time on hold trying to speak to someone about a billing error you have made. You will now need to contact me to sort it out and stop sending demanding letters Completely fed up with your awful customer service.

  • _becki_d 🤫 (@_becki_d) reported from Croydon, England

    @bt_uk intermittent WiFi for 72 hours and the weather is fine. All neighbours effected too .. please can you advise any issues CR2 area 😫

  • mikeseat Mike seaton (@mikeseat) reported from Brackley, England

    @bt_uk Hello, my mobile was due to be delivered today, and my service switched to yourselves. But when I track my order it's showing not despatched but still saying my service should start today...... dpd were the delivery agent but have heard nothing from them....

  • rgcarr1 Rob Carr (@rgcarr1) reported from Woodley, England

    @bt_uk exceptional customer service as usual. 7 days we’ve been trying to talk to you about our home move. 7 days you have hung up on us. Newsflash, you run a telephone service. Do let me know if you want me to come and show you how to use the telephone #btinternet #bttv

  • AdamPlatt95 Adam Platt (@AdamPlatt95) reported from Chorley, England

    @bt_uk Absolutely fuming isn’t the word! Awful service since day 1! I rely on my broadband to heat my home due to having Hive. When my internet’s down I can heat my home. Causing significant health implications! #goodbye #awful #poor #shocking

  • mattywatts12 Matty (@mattywatts12) reported from Kinmel Bay and Towyn, Wales

    Learn how to be impartial on the commentary ******* we get it both of these fellas hate Liverpool @btsport

  • awmackenzie Andrew Mackenzie (@awmackenzie) reported from Bromley, England

    So @virginmedia in error cut off our internet because another house nearby cancelled. And now they’ve made an error in the re-connection which means they have no idea when our internet will be fixed. Never thought I’d long for the days of good old @bt_uk.

  • JamesEFoster4 James E Foster (@JamesEFoster4) reported from Polegate, England

    @bt_uk moved house two weeks after we informed you. Still no service with phone, broadband or tv. Been sent a device to get broadband from. It’s pathetic. A iPhone hotspot has a stronger coverage. You are a complete joke. #GoodbyeBT

  • DWA2005 Dave Ashurst (@DWA2005) reported from Knutsford, England

    @RobbieSavage8 VAR does not work perfectly well when there are only fractions involved as the frame speeds being used are to slow. So let’s stop the nonsense it’s always correct, it just isn’t @btsport #Ajaxchelsea

  • ClaireFenella 🌷Claire Fenella E 🌷 (@ClaireFenella) reported from Long Ashton, England

    @bt_uk I can’t DM you because you don’t follow me and I don’t follow you. I have been forced to leave BT because of a lack of services in my new house. I was a very happy BT customer but things have gone badly wrong for you over the last 8 weeks. Never again!!!

  • A_Gent_Chadd Agent Chadd (@A_Gent_Chadd) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    Thank you Ian @bt_uk you are a credit to the company. Shame all staff aren't as capable and civil. Customer Service training needed in Newcastle call centre 🤔

  • Jimmy81doog James (@Jimmy81doog) reported from Gildersome, England

    @tomhj123 @bt_uk I have been told the same this with regards to it being outside of the period but to give them their due they have now started digging deeper for me. Hopefully both of our issues will be resolved quickly.

  • Terrybirse ⚒ Terry ⚒ (@Terrybirse) reported from Sawbridgeworth, England

    @btsport Wow, apparently there’s only one person able to fix a problem with BT Sport and they can’t contact me until Tuesday now!! Only been waiting 4 days so far!!

  • revdmesmith Michael Smith (@revdmesmith) reported from Kingsdown, England

  • NickHamlyn76 Nick Hamlyn (@NickHamlyn76) reported from Okehampton, England

    @btbusinesscare why do you have ‘care’ in your twitter handle when you don’t give a toss about your customers. Broken promise after broken promise, very poor customer service!!
