    @bt_uk Well that’s not good enough Clare! The money BT is getting from every customer 2 working days is unacceptable. Please understand I will be taking this further.

  • padraic90 padraic 🇮🇪 (@padraic90) reported

    @wrenching_wench @bt_uk They've got a speed guarantee Katie. So if it's crap on the @bt_uk speedcheck, you can use it to get out of contract if it's persistently bad Is ther no fibre in your area? They dug up all the roads round here last year for Cityfibre (Vodafone, virgin etc).

  • Trizz_7 TQ (@Trizz_7) reported from Hackney, England

    @btsport fix your ******* app, always telling me I’m not in the UK when I clearly am

  • Cznflict_ . (@Cznflict_) reported

    @bt_uk trying to raise a complaint on the site and it’s not letting me. Trying to stop me getting my money back for the second time! This is crazy!!!

  • rosstheconsumer Ross (@rosstheconsumer) reported

    @bt_uk The TV’s app. 02100 and 01119 are the errors, also saw 01114 a few times. Apple TV is as bad as it is for other users, Netflix appears to be ok, just iplayer that’s not working.

  • LeeDevlin7 Lee Devlin (@LeeDevlin7) reported

    @btsportufc @btsport HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WATCH THIS ABSOLUTE ****?! YOU'RE ******* SCREWING US! USELESS!! #UFC284

  • ramybadr64 Rami Badr (@ramybadr64) reported

  • galb1901 Gal (@galb1901) reported

    @bt_uk why am I paying for no service and no customer support? Rebate?

  • JasJ_MMA Jas (@JasJ_MMA) reported

    @LeeDevlin7 @btsport Terrible.

  • calazeeka Calazeeka (@calazeeka) reported

    @bt_uk I'm tired of your ****

  • wrenching_wench Katie B (@wrenching_wench) reported

    @RupGeneva @bt_uk This only happens during peak times, during the day I’ll get 30-40Mbps (still crap but that’s the best we’ve ever got), then as soon as it gets to the evening, it just drops to what I posted above. Only started having this problem recently, we’ve been with BT for a while now.

  • pdwphoto Paul (@pdwphoto) reported

    @bt_uk diabolical service trying to get into online account. Exeter team confirmed your call centre closed the original fault ticket without resolution probably because their long time failure to resolve would impact their response stats. Yet you have the cheek inc prices 15%

  • s_k_s1971 SportsFan 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@s_k_s1971) reported

    @btsport Why are the TV guides on @virginmedia never accurate? So frustrating when you try and record from the TV guide.

  • LuvDartsBeerLuv LoveDartsLove (@LuvDartsBeerLuv) reported

    @btsport... Thank god.... A break from his boring drone... Useless.... 2 lovely commentators on for the last match..... Volume back on.... Never employ a narcacist.... Bad move.... He's a nut case

  • SizzlingWetwipe Sizzling Wetwipe (@SizzlingWetwipe) reported

    @bt_uk It says no known issues in my area but the person on the phone said there is?

  • baslenaerts Ciro Desideri (@baslenaerts) reported

    @msmith850 @btsport @ChrisPezPerry Yes finally. More of you for Calcio. I sadly find myself muting the games or watching other leagues at the same time due to the atrocities that are pretty much all of your colleagues on commentary on BT due to their lack of knowledge and horrible accents. Keatings & You 🐐🐐

  • Katie6997 Katie (@Katie6997) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, it has been down since 12pm

  • Jammytoastt J (@Jammytoastt) reported

    @btsportufc @btsport is so ******* **** with UFC interviews, why are you incapable of keeping the audio of the interview without it being interrupted/censored by crowd noise #UFC284

  • aaronbrennan110 Aaron♦️ (@aaronbrennan110) reported
