  • StephenToner88 Stephen Toner (@StephenToner88) reported

    @bt_uk I know but it's beyond a joke I'm having to use a 20+ ft Ethernet, regardless of the engineer sorting it out on the 21st I will be leaving your service on the 12th of October as I am moving to Virgin on that day.

  • AmyZebra Amy Zebra (@AmyZebra) reported

    @bt_uk how can you charge £248 for an engineer you sent out to fix a fault because the Wi-Fi wasn’t fitted probably by you. To be told I have bad connection due to the shape of my house!!

  • RiverWhite5 River White (@RiverWhite5) reported

    @bt_uk our fibre optic has been down since Friday in Morecambe area, is this a known issue or specific to our household?

  • JodieHedger Jodie Preece (@JodieHedger) reported

    @bt_uk absolutely disgusted in the service provided to my very vulnerable and elderly parents. They have had no service for 5 days now, no phone and no alarm access. Absolutely no help from BT despite paying extra for emergency call outs!

  • paul_edwin Paul Edwin (@paul_edwin) reported

    @btsport What's going on with casting to a Chromecast recently? It used to just work, but the last couple of times I've tried to catch up with @btsportmotogp it's been horribly juddery, pretty much unwatchable. Seems like I'm not the only one with this problem.

  • fpl_4 DontFearThe-4 (@fpl_4) reported

    @WhichUK @bt_uk ..is increasing by the day for our gran and the Family, and we have been told it would be fixed only for it to be delayed and still no response to our request for a temporary fix for our Gran. Please help we don’t know where else to turn

  • MichaelHodge90 Michael Hodge (@MichaelHodge90) reported

    @bt_uk hi how do we report a scam call claiming to be from bt? We don't have service through bt that's how we knew

  • Daniel_Hunter18 Daniel Hunter (@Daniel_Hunter18) reported

    @bt_uk No Allanah I havent had this issue sorted and I am extremely frustrated! I would like someone to help me asap

  • Barringtonious Barrington Great (@Barringtonious) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. I’ve read that **** and it didn’t convince me that what you did was anything short of theft. But you have taught me that to maximise the advertised price for a “contract”, you need to take it up around April to avoid too much arse-******* by the Annual Price Change.

  • breslinik NBres (@breslinik) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Apparently it's an openreach issue? @bt_uk But no ETA for it being repaired after 4 days?

  • KernowChris Christopher Rowe (@KernowChris) reported

    I think @btsport should have closed down tomorrow, seems odd that they appear to have a schedule.

  • ppj22 Paul Jackson (@ppj22) reported

    @btsport is there a problem with the sound on your Ultimate Chanel? We have no sound at all. We are watching via virgin media.

  • in_caved Tim Cave (@in_caved) reported

    My elderly relative has had his phone line cut off by @bt_uk which means his fall alarm doesn't work and we have trouble contacting him. BT say that when he renewed his package he didn't renew the landline. They've flagged it as a priority case and done nothing.

  • chazzwillo Charlie Wilson (@chazzwillo) reported

    @bt_uk any chance you fix your internet connection on Merseyside, for the stupid amount of money I give you a month I kind of expect my internet to work to be honest.

  • cnormand45 Chris Douglas (@cnormand45) reported

    @bt_uk Hello I have tried to call BT to arrange to have my service moved to my new address, unfortunately I spoke to an extremely rude person who was extremely unhelpful. I will therefore be ending my contract on 5th October. I have no doubt I will need to ring to cancel.

  • Dan11929503 Dan (@Dan11929503) reported

    @bt_uk @Plusnet @ofgem when are you fixing broadband issues with #Plusnet?

  • leannewhite2804 Leanne White (@leannewhite2804) reported

    @bt_uk my router is flashing purple and I have no internet. All the cables are connected and I’ve reboot the router but still not working. Any help please?

  • Benedwards_0412 Ben edwards (@Benedwards_0412) reported

    @youngsacka @JamesHorncastle @btsport I’ve watched 4 or 5 times this season and he’s ok. People look down on dier simply because he was poor a few years back. He’s actually a very good defender. It’s not necessarily saying he’s better than tomori, more that it’s not stupid to claim that

  • rob_spereall Rob Spereall (@rob_spereall) reported

    @SkyFootball it's ridiculous to advertise showing a @Bundesliga_EN match and failing to commit to that especially at a time when 4 of your channels are taken up by one game that finished in time for kick off. @btsport never treated the Bundesliga like this!

  • delveccio84 Mike Delaney (@delveccio84) reported

    @bt_uk why am I constantly having high ping issues? Constantly around 130ms

  • slattyabz abz (@slattyabz) reported

    @bt_uk probs gonna call you lot up still incredibly slow has been for a long time now just hard since im not the owner of the broadband

  • BestPaulSays 𝐏𝕒𝕦𝕝 𝕊𝕒𝕪𝕤 🎙 (@BestPaulSays) reported

    @bt_uk Your customer service is not fit for purpose, it’s No Service at All. Your Text to check your line is a waste of time, and you’re impossible to reach via the Phone, a service you’re supposedly promote. l’ve needed my landline Fixed, the last two weeks.

  • breslinik NBres (@breslinik) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam It's been 4 days without internet now in our flat and @SkyUK still can't even give an estimate for when it'll be fixed? Supposedly blaming @bt_uk saying it's an openreach problem? When will we get internet back? (Glasgow)

  • fpl_4 DontFearThe-4 (@fpl_4) reported

    @Ofcom our 96yr Old Gran has been without a Phone line for a month, The phone line connects her emergency lifeline to the Family as she lives alone. We have had no response from @bt_uk for our request for Welfare case for 3 days despite a promise of 4hour response, the distress..

    @Benedwards_0412 @JamesHorncastle @btsport its very stupid to claim that Dier has been the best defender when he has been average
