    @SkyCinemaUK @NetflixUK @bt_uk @AppleTV @PrimeVideo why not give something back and provide all your services free for 3 months to help the wider community #UKTOGETHER #KILLTHEVIRUS #COVID2019

  • glebefootball Glebe Football Club (@glebefootball) reported from Bromley, England

    I’ve just come off the phone to @SkySports and @btsport both companies are not charging rental to sports clubs from 15/3/30 a real help @KentishFootie @SCEFLeague

  • davelionelblack David Lionel Black (@davelionelblack) reported from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, England

    I honestly think now all sport is postponed @SkySports and @btsport fees should be deducted from our monthly bills until they start up again this will help reduce peoples bills specially if had to self isolate so not earning #COVID_19uk #cornoravirusuk #selfisolating @SkyNews

  • RachelTWwales Rachel T-W (@RachelTWwales) reported from Saundersfoot, Wales

    Spent the best part of 2hrs on the phone today trying to get @bt_uk to reconnect my Dad’s broadband after they mistakenly disconnected him. I spoke to 5 different people, was cut off twice & the upshot, they cannot get him back online for a week. Poor, so poor 😡

  • Geeves87 Graeme Allan (@Geeves87) reported from Montrose, Scotland

    @btsport how do we suspend sports or even cancel without waiting for hours on the end of the phone. I am happy to pay for my broadband still but not for bt sports with no live sports being broadcast! Thanks

  • SteveyAsp Steve Aspinall (@SteveyAsp) reported from Queensferry, Wales

    Anyone who has a BTSport contract coming to an end….Make sure you ring them and check near the date of ending/renewal….I called to cancel mine and they said I had a £300 fee to pay as it was in contract and I’d agreed a new deal 2 days ago…..Which of course I hadn’t

  • jugolotus Jules Ugo (@jugolotus) reported from Camberwell, England

    Just enjoyed blood-curdling levels of horrendous customer service from @bt_uk arrogant and rude beyond belief.

  • scullionoflarne Andrew Scullion (@scullionoflarne) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @tiff_tv @OfficialWRC @btsport The WRC commentary is usually pretty poor too. They never seem to know what's going on.

  • PBarlow85 Paul Barlow (@PBarlow85) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    @bt_uk @TalkTalk @OpenreachHelp @UKPowerNetworks when are you going to fix the power supply to the cabinet on Tudor way/shepherds lane been since the 28th February & you keep blaming each other for not fixing it.

  • Setantayseis Setantayseis (@Setantayseis) reported from Bristol, England

    @edlingh @bt_uk @btsport Told me I’m in contract so can’t cancel and also they won’t reduce it. If complained as there will be nothing I want to watch for months!

  • brezsean Sean Breslin (@brezsean) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    This is the logic of a man actually employed to discuss football. At some point rather than producing clickbait think of how you can help your @SkySports or for that matter @btsport subscribers who in 2 months time might not be able to afford your product.

  • tonysmyth23 Tony Smyth (@tonysmyth23) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Is @SkyUK @bt_uk and all other TV going to give their customer anything that have to stay at home at this bad time 💷💷💷💷💰💰💰

  • Jamz121 Jamz (@Jamz121) reported from Birmingham, England

    @chevyt80 @SkyUK @btsport Dat streaming life shit quality, feezes, commentator speaking Arabic etc all long, did it for years... 4k HD all da sports deya on my TVs. £100 a month not bad

  • erskineandrew Andrew Erskine (@erskineandrew) reported from Sevenoaks, England

    For both @SkySports and @btsport to require millions of customers to queue for hours to cancel when there is no sport is corporate chiselling of worst sort. You can buy online - should be able to stop online.

  • AdsMatthews Adam Matthews (@AdsMatthews) reported from Kidderminster, England

    I know there’s not many games left on, but really hope those who feel safe enough are able to take in some non-league football today. They will really appreciate the support! Failing that, give @FCHTOnline against @EUFCofficial a go. Live on @btsport at 5.20pm 🙌

  • the_brewersarms Brewers Arms (@the_brewersarms) reported from Worcestershire, England

    @worcesternews since the interview i did with yourselves yesterday morning before the government explained their plans for small buissnesses we have had positive support from both @SkySportsPub and @btsport who have suspended our monthly fees and also our 1/2

  • Grahms Graham (@Grahms) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    OMG @btsport not allowed to stop, delay my subscription on-line, no calls answered. Yes u are busy but on-line options stopped. Cancel totally is now an option, yes we all suffer but as a business when u are back providing i will delay supporting u for being #deliberatelyAwkward

  • RyanHeatly Ryan Heatly (@RyanHeatly) reported from City of London, England

    @lee4ord @btsport @SkySports Not a bad shout

  • RichLines Richard Lines (@RichLines) reported from Southampton, England

    @aceofherts5 @SkySports @btsport Was on hold for over hour to sky other day to give my notice on sports. Only one you can't cancel online funny enough! Had to give up in the end, which is what they want annoyingly. Will try again later. Selfish money grabbing....

  • Bumpydogo Paul (@Bumpydogo) reported from Liverpool, England

    TodaysTwitter sponsored ad is @bt_uk Say's 'BT like never before'. Maybe cos there's no Sport.

  • Tinkler5 Gary Tinkler (@Tinkler5) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @bt_uk are you having issues still in MK, no broadband....again!

  • berbamcwillyz Chris McWilliams (@berbamcwillyz) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Come on to **** @SkySports and @btsport at least put old classic football matches on instead of this cricket and racing. Least it Would give me an excuse for a swally

  • roybrown7 Roy Brown (@roybrown7) reported from Saint Monans, Scotland

    @SunSport Shocking customer service. How can you charge for something they can't provide. Happy if they give the money to small clubs who can't pay staff etc with no gate funds. @SkySports @btsport

  • d4rryl23 Darryl Arnett (@d4rryl23) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Hi, I have just had an experience with your customer service, with which I still don’t have an answer, if I can get your fttp services. My new post is DH4 4ZL. Your web site says that your fttp service is available. If someone can help and views this post. Please do

  • arabforlife83 Chris🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@arabforlife83) reported from Alloa, Scotland

    @btsport can you send a tweet out regarding what's happening with our Bill's for the next few month as there will be no live sport on. Sky have already let everyone know they can cancel sports for a few months.

  • iainmc123 Iain McDonald (@iainmc123) reported from New Mills, England

    @bt_uk By mini connectors. They don't work. The WiFi in the house isn't too bad, I could watch ufc on my phone but through the bt box it doesn't work.

  • shugfonzarelli Richie Cunningham (@shugfonzarelli) reported from Cambuslang, Scotland

    @TheFull421 @SkySports @PremierSportsTV @btsport I did call to cancel. They said I could cancel or get the reduced payment. Fair enough.

  • mikecole111 Mike cole (@mikecole111) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @btsport you have power and responsibility to apply pressure to premier league not to void season just so bottom teams stay up. If this happens I will cancel my subs and hopefully won’t be the only one. You pay them so sort them out. Disgraceful

  • HenleyPhotos Henley-on-Thames (@HenleyPhotos) reported from Henley-on-Thames, England

    @UglyBear_ @bt_uk @skytv @btsport @BBCNews @SkyNews All rubbish, if our gas and electric and water run on the same service there would be uproar as it supposed to be the fourth utility service!!

  • NeilFranks7 Neil Franks (@NeilFranks7) reported from Hounslow, England

    @bt_uk 32 phone calls later still not got my bttv package correct. They have big issues with the booking system. I would not bother!
