  • iszatt Andy Iszatt (@iszatt) reported

    @bt_uk your BT Smart Controls app is asking me to update it and exiting before I can do anything, but there's no update on the Play Store. My camera is useless without the app so how do I fix it?

  • RedDogGaz Gary Milton (@RedDogGaz) reported

    Hi @BTCare any issues with Broadband at the moment? Ours has repeatedly crashed this evening. 6+ times so far.

  • toner1984 Mr T0n3r🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@toner1984) reported

    @bt_uk hi... I have been experiencing problems with my broadband over the last few weeks. I should be getting speeds of 50-73 Mbps with a guaranteed speed of 50, but I get around 30, and it goes as low as 13!!! Can you help please? Thanks

  • ChampionshipRW 🐐🐐🐐🐐 (@ChampionshipRW) reported

    @OlesRed @btsport Worst ad on TV

  • ShureySteve Steve Shurey (@ShureySteve) reported

    @btsport I have a BT sport account, but the app isn't letting me renew my sport subscription as it just buffers, can you please help

  • RedDevilUTD2 Red Devils (@RedDevilUTD2) reported

    Why did I see a million times that UFC 257 would be on @BtSport 1 and now I'm seeing it's Box Office. Load of ****. BT Sport isn't worth the cash

  • _ThatArsenalGuy ThatArsenalGuy™️ (@_ThatArsenalGuy) reported

    @bt_uk My broadband ain’t working. Can’t get through to customer services or even the chart service. What’s the back up plan?

  • steveeveleigh1 steve eveleigh (@steveeveleigh1) reported

    @btsport why so many replays, we had so many replays tonight it was hard to tell if we were watching the match live. nothing more annoying than watching replays not once oh no, not twice, but sometimes in slow motion, all while the game is in play.

  • Ableseaman954 Michael Hopper (@Ableseaman954) reported

    @bt_uk I wouldn’t use BT for any amount of money. This company has no soul, no compassion. My sister died just before Christmas and on noticing BT, no condolences just a cold final bill of £1.50. I am dealing with numerous companies and without fail they have offered their sympathy.

  • paulroc83331715 Anthonypaul (@paulroc83331715) reported

    @bt_uk Hi i subscribe to BT sport via now tv but I've missed out on tonight's game as i get an error code VC011 and a sorry there's a problem screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no joy? Do you know what the error code means? Unclear on help page

  • alexj_baker Alex Baker (@alexj_baker) reported

    @bt_uk No it's literally just the bt sport app on fire stick, all other apps are fine on it and never have any issues at all with bt sport app on Apple TV on my second TV

  • srrfar mj (@srrfar) reported

    . @btsport is so ****. I can't believe I pay £25pm for it.

  • Chistopher_ christopher (@Chistopher_) reported

    @bt_uk Yeah, I am getting channels on the TV, it happened last night when I was watching the Liverpool game, the signal wasn't good then it just completely lost the channels. Done a full factory reset but to no avail

  • longfella31 Mark Perry (@longfella31) reported from Romford, England

    @btsport how does having the 4th & 5th round draw on the same night help fixture congestion?

  • KadeMcConville Kade. (@KadeMcConville) reported

    @btsport Using the BT Sport app on Chromecast with Google TV. Issue - no sound on BT Sport Ultimate. Video is perfect and in 4K, but no audio. All other channels, including BT Sport 1HD, the audio works fine. Annoying to miss out on ultimate with this issue. 👎

  • bliprogers Matt Rogers (@bliprogers) reported

    @theharte @MarcAllera @bt_uk And this is the 2nd time this year, previous attempt took 24 days to resolve. Would you be happy with that as a service Marc?? 🤔

  • bliprogers Matt Rogers (@bliprogers) reported

    @theharte @MarcAllera @bt_uk I feel your pain Paul! Its now 31 days since BT cut me off and unable to provide broadband. The customer service has been abysmal at best. Great initiative Marc to get kids online but what about those actually paying you for services that can't get online?

  • DavyBoyUK DavyBoyUK (@DavyBoyUK) reported

    "You didn't choose @bt_uk and now the interns are after your job" **** YOU @bt_uk Sincerely EVERYONE..

  • tomdancer8 Tom Dancer (@tomdancer8) reported

    Still can’t believe how slow my @bt_uk internet is, even though they claimed to have fixed it this week! #buffering

  • TomDickHarryNI StayHomeSaveLives (@TomDickHarryNI) reported

    @btsportfootball @btsport Can your commentators stop the love in with Rashford cos he’s English. He’s awful. His first touch and distribution are amateur.

  • MGR_Chille Chille -Knife Yeeter (@MGR_Chille) reported

    @bt_uk I am tempted to switch from @TalkTalk my connection has been so poor recently with daily disconnections :/ whoever brings super fast fibre to my town wins me over or a decent deal lol

  • ByTheFry Ben Fry (@ByTheFry) reported

    @bt_uk It's not a technical issue. 5mb is the max speed you offer. Hence I would like to know who to contact regarding when the area will be updated.

  • memike72 Jim (@memike72) reported

    @bt_uk Not at the moment. It’s intermittent drops in signal, which would be totally unacceptable if the electric lights just dimmed and started working again.

  • United__Matt Park’s Council House (@United__Matt) reported

    Anyone else finding Glenn Hoddle an annoying **** yet again? Disabilist ****** shouldn’t even be on telly if he hood opinions, let alone with the **** he spouts. #BTsport #MUNWAT

  • twr16_ Tom Robinson (@twr16_) reported

    @bt_uk Still no fix what’s the crack?? @bt_uk

  • DANNY2084 Big Dan (@DANNY2084) reported

    @btsport why is your streaming service so bad? It’s forever dropping resolution and stuttering. It’s terrible. and before you say it’s my internet it’s not. I stream football from other providers with zero issues. The footy is one of the main reasons i took out EE broadband. 😡

  • barnstormed Matt (@barnstormed) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam why am I unable too play back anything I record on @btsport ? It just says 'Software Issue and resists to do anything. This is only on BT Sports channels. I've tried all the usual fixes.

  • queboh elliott sharp (@queboh) reported
