  • johnrobinson07 John (@johnrobinson07) reported

    @bt_uk I have DM you but I haven’t placed a new order or removed it. This is second time within a month I have had terrible customer service from yourselves.

  • Joshmc222 Josh (@Joshmc222) reported

    @bt_uk Hello, we currently have full bars of wifi showing but are unable to get online. Is this a known issue?

  • DeanCruden Dean Cruden (@DeanCruden) reported

    @bt_uk is there a known issue with streaming iplayer on smart TVs? Been unable to play any shows for the last couple of days on TV but it works fine on other devices. Done resets and no software updates available so appears to be broadband related.

  • hcuk Chris Knowles (@hcuk) reported

    @bt_uk There are no line details as I’m not a customer of BT. I was commenting on the frustrating service that BT give to suppliers and customers alike.

  • CathKell24 Catherine 💙 (@CathKell24) reported

    @bt_uk lost connection and can't reconnect. Tried all usual restart/reboot stuff. Is there a problem in G73 area?

  • BrianPolina Brian Polina (@BrianPolina) reported

    @bt_uk got a problem with my BT connect modem. I want to dim the blue lights on it when I go to bed. Can’t see how to go this. Can you help.

  • bferguson4 Billy Ferguson (@bferguson4) reported

    @bt_uk hello, having issues trying to log in on my phone. Keeps asking me to verify my email which I have done numerous times. Are you able to help with this?

  • savourydeets Beth (@savourydeets) reported

    Very nice of @bt_uk not to warn us that they'd be switching our line to digital voice, meaning my lifeline personal alarm now doesn't work. The lifeline provider can hopefully sort it tomorrow but we had no warning when switching our broadband to BT that this would happen.

  • FUFowlers FUFowlers (@FUFowlers) reported

    @NellThompson01 @bt_uk I'm having the same problem. It seemed to start a couple of weeks ago

  • Payneben Ben Payne (@Payneben) reported

    @bt_uk hi there, I live in RG10 postcode, WiFi strength is under a single MB up and down, app says its fine. Your help section of website just sends me in circles, any known issues? Please help, as am on work calls for next six hours and this is infuriating. Many thanks

  • BradleyStirton bradley stirton (@BradleyStirton) reported

    @btsport hi I've paid for the subscription to bt sport however when I try to login to the app or try to watch on the website it says there's no active subscription. It has also taken payment twice?

  • hcuk Chris Knowles (@hcuk) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I run an MSP and provide broadband connections to my customers over your lines. BT are ALWAYS the thing that slows it down and makes it a very frustrating experience. Openreach are impossible to get hold of and never take responsibility for things when they go wrong.

  • PhilipJReynolds Philip J ReynoldsTV 🎥 📻 🎙 (@PhilipJReynolds) reported

    @bt_uk Isn’t it mad how many TV platforms make it as hard as they can for you to cancel. Yet as easy as possible to join.

  • RachH_grit Rachael Holmes (@RachH_grit) reported

    @bt_uk I signed up for BT broadband as a new customer but I forgot to apply my blue light discount. Can you please help.

  • AntPtm Ant Patamia (@AntPtm) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks Theresa but I can’t do that. The page never loads. Hence why I had to phone the call centre last month. I tried again today. I just get the bouncing dots. That’s on multiple devices with different OS and different browsers. The problem is at your end.

  • Quidlist1 John Friend (@Quidlist1) reported

    @bt_uk we are in 14 day cooling off for resigning up to broadband, so we will cancel if not honoured, I’ve been reading a lot of bad reviews today about your service

  • Mow_Cop_Snots JS (@Mow_Cop_Snots) reported

    @BTCare help needed currently in the USA and my spend cap at its limit but been in a car and need to make calls but can’t do anything

  • Quidlist1 John Friend (@Quidlist1) reported

    @Athommo1961 @bt_uk I agree, I ordered the tv deal with them, there was a problem at there end activating it, so the cancelled it told to reapply tomorrow when the deal ends, looks like I’ll be cancelling my internet tomorrow can’t see them honouring it

  • CathKell24 Catherine 💙 (@CathKell24) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks- there does appear to be an issue which is being worked on. I'll check back later

  • justlillylew LillyLew (@justlillylew) reported

    @bt_uk #HELP! URGENT!!! I Experienced atrocious service on phone at 1735 today with billing not able to cope with billing Qs stating I need value team. Cut me off then another billing person refusing to put me through to value when I had to go through whole process twice.

  • sismith83 Simon (@sismith83) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, all of our BT Sport channels are jumpy and unwatchable since yesterday. Latest software is downloaded and all of the other groups of channels are fine, including our Now channels. It's affecting BT Sport and ESPN on SD, HD and UHD channels. Any ideas how we can fix it?

  • BradleyStirton bradley stirton (@BradleyStirton) reported

    @btsport @bt_uk hi I've paid for the subscription to bt sport however when I try to login to the app or try to watch on the website it says there's no active subscription. It has also taken payment twice?

  • jimmyjeans33 John Lawless (@jimmyjeans33) reported

    This @btsport app has been a useless pile of **** for over a week now making watching the CL an angry affair. Keep taking my money though - no question about that 👍🏻

  • hcuk Chris Knowles (@hcuk) reported

    @JackReeveTNC @bt_uk BT = Bloody Terrible.

  • FUFowlers FUFowlers (@FUFowlers) reported

    @bt_uk I suggest you read the tweet I was responding to. It seems the problem is not an isolated problem, its affecting more than one customer.

  • Payneben Ben Payne (@Payneben) reported

    @bt_uk As my initial tweet stated, your help section does not allow us as customers to log a ticket that there's a wifi issue. All the topics on that help page are not the reason my wifi is poor. Please can you investigate specifically whether there is a known issue in my area. Thx

  • Athommo1961 Adrian Thompson (@Athommo1961) reported

    @bt_uk I live at CM12(Billericay) and I and many neighbours have reported outages for our full fibre service. This needs to be treated as an area outage and engineer visits stop being offered. We had a 5 day outage commencing 25 March so this is rubbish service. Please help!

  • jportercomedy John Porter (@jportercomedy) reported

    Watching @btsport and wondering if City are playing a pub side the way they're dismissing them. Also, if Fury's lAsT fIgHt against Whyte is 'no hype needed' - why ******** am I seeing about it every ad break?
