    @MockKing_J @PeterRicke63494 @JamesMelville A subscription service like (in the UK) BTSport comes down the internet, not "through the air", but the BBC licence fee still applies if what you're watching on it is a live sports broadcast (stream).

    @btbusinesscare @WeAreOpenreach please push for a full resolution today. This can’t carry on. 4 weeks is a joke.

    @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 🤬🤬🤬

    @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

    @BillSco747 @KeoghsLaw @bt_uk Hi Bill, I am really sorry to hear that damage has been caused to your property. Whilst this is never our intention, I understand accidents to happen. All of our damage claims are dealt with by Keoghs. We cannot see the status of a damage claim here. You can email them at (1/2)

    @bt_uk Hi, we seem to have a connection issue. We have broadband/wifi but some of our devices like the TV are unable to connect. I have used the service checker and it says there is an issue. What do I do next please?

    @bt_uk Can’t believe this. Obvious misdiagnosed as both neighbours and ours routers going down. Now I’ve had an email to say my router is being delivered…. to next door.

    @BTCare @bt_uk @EE tv. I’ve checked all the help questions , I’ve turned off the tv box. No apps are working. Can’t load BBC iplayer etc. So annoying. I don’t want to reboot

    @WeAreOpenreach OR sent a text this am saying my fault had been FIXED. However, the landline is STILL dead and has been dead since March 10th. I live alone and am a pensioner. @bt_uk @Ofcom Help!

    @CisoDiagonal @bt_uk until i just cancel the other once ive moved & tell them ive not left bc theyre still BT, so wont be paying any cancelation fee- bc they hadnt created an online account for an online customer who has no desire to send hours on phone calls with "understand your frustration" BS 😮‍💨

    @BenycfcMorrison @oafc24 @lukejcr Problem is NL don't do themselves any favours with this abomination of a DAZN debacle. Really good product promoted & presented well with TNT/BTSport & all that work undone chasing a few quid. Lots not to like about NL management.

    pete wright (@prwright55) reported

    @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.

    @bt_uk you’re existing customer price promise is a scam, your customer service is a mess and you have 0 loyalty for your long term existing customer. Get in the bin. Moving to @skytv asap.

    @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

    @bt_uk Hi still waiting for compensation for fault that lasted from December till March this year.Have spoken so many times and had fault logged and complaint escalated however still no compensation but you are on the ball taking out new higher payment for April.

    Really poor service for existing customers @bt_uk, putting my TV package up and not willing to do anything to keep me with them, @skytv are offering such better deals so looks like ill be joining them

    @btbusinesscare now coming into the 3rd day with no business line internet access. No updates provided. Not great customer service at all - disappointing.

    @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?

    @bt_uk Is there an email address as it is an ongoing issue? I dont want to gave to start at the beginning with online chat each time. I need support for calls and last time I was told to just try using less devices. Your engineer confirmed the issue is external.

    @btbusinesscare Trying to help elderly neighbour who has fault with her business landline, after she had a new internal box and router fitted. Now no landline! Getting no joy from calling BT. She doesn’t have a mobile or email address and just getting automated responses. HELP!
