  • phillipkerr79 phillip kerr (@phillipkerr79) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @bt_uk how come you can’t move billing date for a customer who has been loyal for nearly four years,something EE did in second Guess that’s made my decision to switch providers in July easier 🤔🤔

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported from Slough, England

    @bt_uk please my BT sport channel is not working it’s been turned off by BT why I don’t understand, Iam paying every month

    @btsport BT sport no working for 4 days know , have rang up customer service 4 times today they don’t have a clue how to get it going

  • jlarsson89 Johan Larsson (@jlarsson89) reported from Eltham, England

    @bt_uk Actually you can, you just won't because of company policy. Any ISP that actually gives a shit about being an ISP would've sorted everything out in at most 3 business days. Yours sincerely, "Jonah"

  • John16455622 John (@John16455622) reported from Leeds, England

    @snowangelmrsp @bt_uk @sky Ehrn you need their customer services they actually answer phone and are brilliant

  • Mrsthirsty1 Hilda Hirst (@Mrsthirsty1) reported from Ingleby Barwick, England

    @bt_uk Hi , no I called twice to place the order. Have wasted so much time already. Think its best to cancel & start again. Am not sure I want to move with @bt_uk .

  • yvonne_fleming yvonne Fleming (@yvonne_fleming) reported from Hamilton, Scotland

    @bt_uk We have had an absolutely shocking experience in the transition of analogue phones to iCloud which has resulted in the dental practice I work in being left with no business phone number at all. It has caused chaos in my practice and no help from iCloud support

  • travellinbhoy Jimmy Bhoy 45% (@travellinbhoy) reported from Kildare, Leinster

    @btsport fix the icon on bt sport 2 it has the spurs game on but it should be changed to Motherwell Celtic game. I missed the first 5 minutes because of it. Paying money for this!!!

  • dangregorybfc Dan Gregory (@dangregorybfc) reported from Bromley, England

    @bromleyfc @HarrogateTown @btsport Same old @btsportfootball never showing consideration towards the away fans. all televised league games have been away. absolute shambles once again. **** BT sports

  • _gavinjones Gavin Jones (@_gavinjones) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @bt_uk 1/2 didn’t get a call but a text instead, now due to be fixed on the 7th February. Not only is my phone line down so is the broadband

  • Morris2906 Morris Hickey # FREE AT LAST # (@Morris2906) reported from Chigwell, England

    Therein lies the clue. If he was from BT then he'd know whether you have internet. If you get such a call give no information and just hang up. @bt_uk @metpoliceuk

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported from Slough, England

    @bt_uk quite shocked by BT , I just rang to stop BT sport multi room ,in December, and then I rang yesterday to discuss my contact which was up in 26 feb this year , so without me know the customer advisor on extended my contract without my consent, don’t trust BT anymore

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported from Slough, England

    @bt_uk how terrible is they I rang BT to multi room BT off, and without telling me, a BT customer service advisor, extended my contract, that is so bad, I only found out today when I rang for another reason, I thought BT to honest m, people watch out for Advisors Bad

  • Bernie82_ Steve Bernard (@Bernie82_) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Do we really have to see this @btsport ad every 60 seconds. Bad enough to watch it once #BBL09

  • Lottievr4 Charlotte Read (@Lottievr4) reported from Colchester, England

    @Greg__Holmes @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I raised a complaint with them last week about my broadband constantly dropping out, heard nothing until they sent me a text just to say my complaint is closed! No investigation, no communication. Useless.

  • jill_lyttle Jill Lyttle (@jill_lyttle) reported from East Ardsley, England

  • prof_j_mitchell John Mitchell (@prof_j_mitchell) reported from Bromley, England

    I remember when @bt_uk had the customer service mantra of Right first time. Seem a long time ago from recent experience.

  • celticghirlmo Moira Johnstone (@celticghirlmo) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk You need to cut down on the adverts it’s ridiculous you should be ashamed charging for a channel of nothing but adverts 🤬🤬🤬

  • jon1289 Jonathan (@jon1289) reported from Ilkley, England

  • Shirley82829043 Shirley Dunn (@Shirley82829043) reported from Sheffield, England

    @snowangelmrsp @bt_uk I've been with Sky for 4 yrs touch wood no problem. They have recently reduced the amount I pay for Broadband.

  • prof_j_mitchell John Mitchell (@prof_j_mitchell) reported from Bromley, England

    @bt_uk Changed TV deal now getting emails about returning the equipment. Customer service no idea why. ‘Wait until the new deal kicks in and they’ll probably stop’

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported from Slough, England

    @bt_uk Fed up with BT sports channels not working for the last four days have rang them four times today and they are useless can’t even get it going

  • KroValeria Caro Valeria (@KroValeria) reported from Tilshead, England

    @bt_uk No thank you! I have been explaining the same problem for 3 months to all different levels of customer service you have. I’m not happy with your service, and it will definitely get worst if it doesn’t get sorted after today conversations with your team and the aerial team! 🤨😡

  • ballywhooo Ian Kirk (@ballywhooo) reported from Corfe Mullen, England

    @snowangelmrsp @bt_uk They are all pretty bad when it comes to customer service.....

  • fergusboden Fergus (@fergusboden) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Apparently an electricity problem has blown our area's internet and they might have to dig up the street to fix it. Anyone who knows me knows this is some of the worst news I could receive. (@bt_uk system was utterly clueless too, which was really helpful.)

  • JPSimpson88 John Simpson (@JPSimpson88) reported from Worksop, England

    @kkkhan22 @craigr98_2016 @UswitchUK @bt_uk Possibly the location if the router, if it's near electronic items such as a TV, in a room with too many walls etc it can slow the internet down in other places of the home. Every WiFi has a 'not-spot' such as back of the house upstairs or even in the converted loft spaces.

  • wizedude_ Paul Boon (@wizedude_) reported from Ipswich District, England

    How disgraceful is it that @btsportfootball have #allardyce on TV. He is a no good cheating scum who took back handers and should never be allowed on #TV @btsport you should be #ashamed of yourselves. Sam Allardyce should never be allowed on TV ever!! #disgrace #btsport
