  • Dazarchie Daz van Archibald (@Dazarchie) reported

    @andybearz Said it in front of a venue full of tims.....goes without saying I'm not sure he's stupid enough to say it outwith those conditions or BTsport would be seriously questioning why he is constantly trying to mock the club

  • ClareDawn9 Clare (@ClareDawn9) reported

    @Lionesses @bt_uk These links never work for me. Someone give a vote to Lauren for me please.

  • rslater269 Richard (@rslater269) reported

    @bt_uk broadband has been off since Sat along with others in the village. The BT help Bot is saying the problem is fixed. The BT Care address is closed down, the BT online help chat is unavailable and now an update saying it may be fixed by 7pm Mon 6 Dec. What is going on?

  • Woollers Stephen Woolston (@Woollers) reported

    @Melaniebrowder1 @bt_uk Melanie, it amazes me BT acts surprised about help not coming quickly. Their service is always terrible, and at rip off prices too. I've had it with them. I can't wait to get out of my contract, but unfortunately we recently moved which allowed them to lock us in another 2 years.

  • wnkly Stephen (@wnkly) reported

    Thanks to Jack at @bt_uk. Broadband and phone line repaired less than 24 hours of reporting problem. Great service.

  • AlexBestoncod alex lovell (@AlexBestoncod) reported

    @bt_uk internet's down again. Orange light, private messaged and waited 15 minutes but no response

  • Shylo_FT ShyloFutureThinkin (@Shylo_FT) reported

  • GillDickinson Gill Dickinson (@GillDickinson) reported

    @bt_uk Having checked your address on the system it appears the property is not registered yet for service. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you, we are working with Openreach to have your property ready at the earliest opportunity.

  • WestLancsUK Neil 'Woody' (@WestLancsUK) reported

    @bt_uk Got to admit you never specified what type of questions? So I have two more, at least have a chuckle. I'm with you due to your £15 BB deal for benefit claimants.👍. Is the earth flat? Is God real? Have a great day....

  • dfaligertwood Freddie Ligertwood (@dfaligertwood) reported

    @bt_uk could you ask your developers to document the Digital Voice handshake? Given I currently have everything on a battery backup, an additional (up to) 18W is kind of worrying given recent issues with power cuts. I already have DECT/VOIP and have no need for the smart hub
