  • Nayte_Price Nathan Price (@Nayte_Price) reported

    What takes @btsport sooo god damn long to upload football highlights??

  • GristoMill GristoMill (@GristoMill) reported

    Yet again @bt_uk 4G Assure did not work when my broadband just went down.

  • kierannnnnnJ A Guy Who Used To Make Pi (@kierannnnnnJ) reported

    @bt_uk Yeah but the best they could off was a 4G hub in an area with terrible signal and no phone line for 5 days, which my partner needs to work

  • LeoniMcGrath Leoni McGrath (@LeoniMcGrath) reported

    @BTCare please can someone explain why I am with @plusnethelp but new property purchasers have authorised you to take over my line. I still own this property and no completion date is known. HELP. Data protection and human rights

  • kierannnnnnJ A Guy Who Used To Make Pi (@kierannnnnnJ) reported

    @bt_uk The one save point for BT is the support people dealing with me have actually tried to be helpful. Still not sure why it takes 12 weeks for you to get someone to install a cable for the broadband I actually ordered in the first place.

  • Joegt15 Joe Evans (@Joegt15) reported

    @bt_uk Saying there is no issues when there is

  • MaitlandBen Ben Maitland (@MaitlandBen) reported

    @bt_uk We are still waiting for this situation to be resolved. Yesterday we were assigned a case manager to address this issue but they promised to call us back and never did. In the meantime another day of being unable to work and another 3 wasted hours on calls to @bt_uk

  • scarficus Scarficus 🌹 (@scarficus) reported

    @bt_uk No it's fibre 2 I think. I think it might be an issue with the phone number, which was supposed to transfer from talk talk

  • scarficus Scarficus 🌹 (@scarficus) reported

    @bt_uk hi, I wonder if you can tell me why my Internet is down and you seem to have forgotten me as a customer?

  • DavidHylden David Hylden (@DavidHylden) reported

    @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness @BT without doubt you have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have spoken to lots of your lovely colleagues and feel like I should be on the payroll with the amount of time wasted since Sept 16th yet still my issue isn't sorted! FFS

  • picky1978 Paul Pickford (@picky1978) reported

    @GaryLineker @ManUtd @btsport Change your staff BT they are crap 👍🏻

  • IamLogoPaul Paul Maskew (@IamLogoPaul) reported

    @LittleDanKMT @btsport they would have to pay me to watch that **** mate

  • dave121260 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@dave121260) reported

    @bt_uk Ye I was on the phone with someone in customer service about 4 weeks ago and tried everything

  • KirkyKartoonz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Kirsty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@KirkyKartoonz) reported

    Yo @BTCare it's fair to say your Internet is appallingly bad. Should be getting fibre speeds but some nights we are lucky to have a stable connection and 1mb download. 👎

  • theowitney Oliver Witney (@theowitney) reported

    @bt_uk Well it still doesn't work and @OpenreachHelp aren't coming til next week. So unless you can hurry them up or get them to resolve the issue permanently, nope.

  • sonnybyng Sonny ⚓️ (@sonnybyng) reported from Havant, England

    @bt_uk Yeah sort the internet out at PO1 it’s absolute garbage

  • ianwtasker Ian Tasker (@ianwtasker) reported

    @matt40k Yes on a hardwire connection, ~56mb on multiple WiFi connections. Wish @bt_uk would offer Halo 1 without a telephone service as that would save a fortune. Haven't had a landline telephone plugged in for over 2 years.

  • pavchahal pavchahal (@pavchahal) reported

    @GaryLineker @ManUtd @btsport Hmmm, Gary did you just predict exactly what happened in the 2 halves?! Great / Awful 🤔

  • tonychamasters Tony Masters (@tonychamasters) reported

    @GaryLineker @ManUtd @btsport You never did follow this up Gary?

  • AmyScurr Amy Scurr (@AmyScurr) reported

    @bt_uk my service is due to go live tomorrow but I haven’t received my router yet. Can my start date be delayed? I won’t be able to work if I don’t have internet!!

  • matt40k Matt Smith (@matt40k) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @ianwtasker @bt_uk Yer, prob with a copper service

  • theowitney Oliver Witney (@theowitney) reported

    @bt_uk Yep unfortunately seems to be. Lots of our neighbours have similar issues regularly as well. I have my mini hub so internet is fine for now, but it is a hassle constantly having to raise issues.

  • natasha_b14 natasha (@natasha_b14) reported

    So since June @btbusinesscare @BTBusiness you failed to provide me my service I paid for. Never return my calls No credits as promised for 3 lines I pay for but don’t use. No phone calls to rectify. So very bad please just sort this out!

  • dave121260 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@dave121260) reported

    @bt_uk Nope still nothing, I’d like it sorting as I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving, otherwise I won’t to cancel it please

  • jane_will61 Jane Williams GPN, Dip moduleAsthma Dip moduleCOPD (@jane_will61) reported

    @bt_uk Yes my husband did it on the 20th and got reply saying fault submitted to engineers & will receive estimated fix time within 48 hours. Heard nothing since & phone still not working

  • kit_hawkins Kit Hawkins (@kit_hawkins) reported

    @jacobholland21 @btsport which platform were you watching on and what was the problem?

  • MissBambi84 Debbie (@MissBambi84) reported

    So yet again, @btsport have not honoured what they promised. No compensation in our bank still meaning yet ANOTHER phone call needed. Why is it larger/corporate companies have the worst customer services, yet have the most money?! 🤔🤬

  • Plambey Patrick (@Plambey) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks Lesley. I’m trying to understand if the above BT owned IP address is one you return in DNS resolution as a result of user having web protect or similar enabled.

  • rh_aifcb NardDog/rh 🅴 (@rh_aifcb) reported

    @joe_weller_ @btsport Lol wtf

  • missmathu Mathu Tee (@missmathu) reported

    @bt_uk worst broadband ever!! Internet doesn’t work/too slow and can’t watch @btsportfootball because the box we were given doesn’t even connect. Used the wire and my baby tripped over!!#dontusebt #worstinternetprovider
