    Hello @AppleSupport and @BTCare - you don't seem to be talking. Any Apple products not sending BT Mail, problem for others too. Receiving fine - anything happening we should know about?

  • HollyoaksNut 🌻LinsStyles🌻 (@HollyoaksNut) reported

    Don't know if it's my broadband being crap or my firestick. But anything I watch keeps freezing every 30 seconds and it's doing my head in. @bt_uk @amazonfiretv

  • FilmItTV CastingForTV (@FilmItTV) reported

    I beg everybody that sees this not to use @bt_uk broadband. The most useless company I have come across. 3 engineer appointments missed and useless customer service. BBC rogue traders has been cast. Take your money and provide you with no service and get you into debt.

  • em_newman Emily Newman (@em_newman) reported

    The worst service from @bt_uk - been without broadband for over a month after moving house, despite putting the transfer request in 2 weeks prior, and being promised an activation date of 08/03. Trying to WFH full time with only a 5G router and being charger full rates.

  • pttvl Vincent (@pttvl) reported

    @bt_uk please respond to my DM regarding an issue raised yesterday

  • danoliver Dan Oliver 🇾🇪 🇪🇺 (@danoliver) reported

    Did I dream this, or did every pundit on @btsport last night say that they expected Liverpool to win?! The level of punditry in the UK is utter garbage. I'd love to know if they're briefed by the production team to get behind the English side.

  • amholmes1993 Anne-Marie Holmes (@amholmes1993) reported

    @bt_uk I'm leaving, the customer service person was ridiculous. Said there was nothing they could do.

  • RobjHen77 Rob Henderson (@RobjHen77) reported

    @bt_uk @Scotlandteam The only bad thing here is your awful logo will continue to ruin the otherwise nice looking Scotland jerseys. Looks like a stamp rather than a logo.

  • InsomniacsUnan InsomniacsUnan (@InsomniacsUnan) reported

    @bt_uk You have done nothing but give my ageing auntie an appalling service since she signed up with you. Lying about engineers coming round TWICE! Telling her she is wrong. Completely #UnacceptableService

  • MikeMcKenna_ Mike McKenna (@MikeMcKenna_) reported

    @bt_uk Any chance of a further update on this please? I had a message in the early hours telling me the issue was resolved. It is not. Thank you.

  • ArrEssVeeTwin Mike Fisher (@ArrEssVeeTwin) reported

    @bt_uk have been overcharging me for a year, and 6 months of that they have broken the agreement they made with @OmbudServices. Then I call cancellations. Who put me thru to billing. Surprisingly billing don't do cancellations.....🙈

  • peterfevans Peter Evans (@peterfevans) reported

    @IamAustinHealey @btsport Even as a Saint, got to admit that we way down that list....

  • rjhsteel2001 Richard (@rjhsteel2001) reported

    @bt_uk We currently have the BT smart hub 2. How to you order the discs that can extend the wifi signal and how much are they?

  • auberjeangenie Rachael⁷ (@auberjeangenie) reported

    @bt_uk Hello, my router keeps dropping out and I'm having to troubleshoot and restart. This works for a couple of minutes and drops out again. Not sure why this happening, would you be able to help please?

  • RickyAngel Ricky Angel (@RickyAngel) reported

    @Johnse @btsport Same here too! Spoke to BT they have had a few people with same issue, but no idea if it will get fixed anytime soon.

  • pttvl Vincent (@pttvl) reported

    @bt_uk as your team has been ignoring me for 4 hours I phoned up. Poor lass on the phone had to deal with an angry customer all due to lack of communication. Engineer rebooked for tomorrow PM, let's hope they arrive or will be switching service #poorcustomerservice

  • jakemackay2 Jake Mackay (@jakemackay2) reported

    Shoutout to @bt_uk for guaranteeing us 35mb/s wifi, realising a couple of weeks later that they can't actually offer us 35mb/s and discretely cancelling our contract without telling us 👌 top lads. 1/10 service. Lovely

  • Matt_Greenwings Matt Berry (@Matt_Greenwings) reported

    @JohnABurton @bt_uk They’ve succeeded in their aim then, to hide behind their system and frustrate customers into giving up without them having to do anything. The standard modern customer service model for large firms sadly.

  • daveo1895 RoscoBags (@daveo1895) reported

    @lynseyhipgrave1 @btsport McManaman is without doubt the worst co-commentator ever.

  • jcrtrx James Fearghail 💭 (@jcrtrx) reported

    @DaleJohnsonESPN @btsportfootball @btsport They need to sort out the high percentage of games that have audio sync issues too.

  • giveupalready Carnage (@giveupalready) reported

    @xainth @IanDunt @bt_uk This isn't correct. The padlock symbol on a website *only* signifies that the connection between your computer and the web server is encrypted. Any website can be configured to support encrypted connections.

  • muzzleloaderjon Cambspowderburner (@muzzleloaderjon) reported

    @NittyNorth @bt_uk Never answer the landline these days. Invariably scams or marketing calls. If they really want to talk to me@they can leave a message

  • SpeakersCollege Bobby Livingston (@SpeakersCollege) reported

    @bt_uk Can I ask you to give me the contact details of the customer service director at BT Openreach who have Kelly Communications doing work for them given the mess they have made at my property installing for a neighbour. BL

  • RobJWCourtney Rob Courtney (@RobJWCourtney) reported

    I despair at how old people are treated by companies who want to cut their client support costs. @bt_uk asking an 88 year old to set up an online account so sort their account ting mess up goes beyond the acceptable. @age_uk really should get on to this.

  • hedgehog_farm 🇬🇧 Beer 🍻 Hedgehog 🦔 (@hedgehog_farm) reported

    had an issue with broadband so I rang @btbusinesscare yesterday .. a nice chap from @OpenreachHelp visited this morning turns out we had an issue; the speed was fine, but it was like the data was being throttled (web pages loading slowly etc) all fixed and it's now FAST! 👍

  • MicheleKnight Michele Knight (@MicheleKnight) reported

    @btbusinesscare 5 hours on the phone over two days. Charged 4k for a service I've been waiting for over a year to be installed. Complaints ignored. Promised calls from local business not happened

  • david_pennant David Pennant (@david_pennant) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I ended up speaking to customer support but still couldn’t get access. The money has come out of my account

  • levitt_zoey Zoey Levitt (@levitt_zoey) reported

    @BTGroup @bt_uk @BTGroup please advise whom I need to speak to regarding a customer service compliant I was left utterly disgusted after being treat appallingly from someone in Newcastle team after a mistake made by BT, I was advices to ‘go away and calm down!’im left upset and confused

  • Family5Cook Jonathan Cook (@Family5Cook) reported

    @bt_uk I have a complaint to make about poor service. Where should this be addressed?
