  • ShadowGabriel Shadow Gabriel (@ShadowGabriel) reported

    Hey @bt_uk can someone take a look at a fault I've raised as my internet is completley down but the fault is logged as "slow internet" not "not working at all" also I think three days for this to be repaired is pathetic.

  • jillfuturelife JillThomasFutureLife (@jillfuturelife) reported

    @bt_uk 30th August 2022 you promised to refund credit within 14 days. Despite three calls to you, 6 weeks later, no money received with all calls registered as complaints. Shocking customer service- why don't you pay the money you owe?

  • bbeckford Ben Beckford (@bbeckford) reported

    @bt_uk Do you have plans to support the Pixel watch on BT Mobile? I'm not sure if it's eSIM related but would be great to get some news on that

  • darkmatter111 Simon Briggs FRAS (@darkmatter111) reported

    What's the point of your complaint's system BT you close a case just in the hope it goes away. Utter joke, my BT engineer appointment put back yet another month @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp #BTarerubbish

  • _JackFowler_ Jack Fowler (@_JackFowler_) reported

    Everyone have a great Monday apart from @bt_uk How can your service be so bad? You cancelled my Broadband BT order without telling me && then didn’t turn up on the new installation date.

  • jillfuturelife JillThomasFutureLife (@jillfuturelife) reported

    @bt_uk Just one problem. No link!

  • elm1968 Emma Monckton (@elm1968) reported

    @btsport how hard is it to get someone to answer a question!! On hold once for 18 mins. Now 11 mins. Plus a detailed ‘chat’ with nothing solved. I WANT TO CANCEL. SHALL I JUST STOP DD!!! You’ll soon contact me when you want my money!!

  • darkmatter111 Simon Briggs FRAS (@darkmatter111) reported

    I'm with BT and mine has been put back yet again, was due today no updates at all from @bt_uk nor @OpenreachHelp an absolute joke and poor discourteous service, very unhappy with them and will never recommend BT & BT Openreach to anyone. #poorservice #terrible

  • jillfuturelife JillThomasFutureLife (@jillfuturelife) reported

    @bt_uk Just knew problem Robbie. No link!

  • SouthZeal Sheena Davies (@SouthZeal) reported

    @bt_uk My elderly dad’s broadband has broken again after 4 days! That’s over 100 days without service now. Are you waiting for him to change provider so you don’t have to compensate him for this appalling service?

  • ElBongo87 Graham Bell (@ElBongo87) reported

    @bt_uk . Worst Broadband service available. No service for over a week, no call backs and no compensation because they failed to book appointments and call backs. Totally disgusting worst service ever. Do not go with them at all.waste of time and over priced money

  • ElBongo87 Graham Bell (@ElBongo87) reported

    @bt_uk . BT WILL BLAME YOU AND SAY ITS YOUR FAULT THAT THEY DISCONNECTED YOUR LINE WHEN CONNECTING SOMEONE ELSES AND THEN TAKE OVER A WEEK TO FIX IT AND 2 WEEKS TO CALL YOU TO TELL YOU NO COMPENSATION IS DUE AS IT WAS YOUR FAULT THEY DIDNT BOOK APPOINTMENTS THAT FAILED.

  • LoreleiHunt1 Lorelei Hunt (@LoreleiHunt1) reported

    Big shout out to @bt_uk who fixed my mum's phone within two hours of me calling and on a Sunday. We are having a horrid time atm, both of my parents have Covid and my dad is v poorly in hospital. They get lots of criticism but were fab for us today.

  • bbeckford Ben Beckford (@bbeckford) reported

    @bt_uk Ok and does BT mobile have any plans to support eSIM?

  • C0SMICESPORTS COSMIC (@C0SMICESPORTS) reported

    @bt_uk IDK the BT account details and I doubt it would be able to help. It's an issue with the router and has been since we got it. Even had it changed too and still has similar issues. Your routers are just dogshit for wifi. Wired works fine, wireless constantly drops.

  • haverofsize James (@haverofsize) reported

    So UFC280 is going to be PPV **** you @btsport @ufc

  • brian_roos Brian Roos (@brian_roos) reported

    @FromLe2 Oopsie, bit of pressure there on @btsport all of a sudden. Poor taste on this segment

  • elm1968 Emma Monckton (@elm1968) reported

    @btsport PLEASE CONTACT ME BY DIRECT MESSAGE. I WANT TO CANCEL BT SPORTS. I HAVE WASTED HALF MY MORNING TRING TO DO THIS. I WILL CANCEL MY DD AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

  • hargefc Luke Harg (@hargefc) reported

    One bad game of footy, between two average sides. Don’t ever put us 7pm on a Sunday again @btsport

  • ElBongo87 Graham Bell (@ElBongo87) reported

    @bt_uk . Had my wife crying after surgery due to their customer service being disgusting and promises not being kept. Waiting weeks for a manager call back to get a normal advisor to say manager has looked and decided no.

  • EddieRO24683415 Douglas (@EddieRO24683415) reported

    @bt_uk Tried to get help for a very elderly lady who's line is down and does not have a mobile or any family, was told unless I had permission to put my name on the account nothing could be done this is someone I do not even know transcript of conversation available

  • CEOemail CEOemail ✉ - Marcus Williamson (@CEOemail) reported

    @bt_uk @blokeridesabike Richard wanted to disable the voicemail feature entirely, not just disable the beep. Can you help him, please? (I would like to do the same)

  • Trevor_Tau1 TvT (@Trevor_Tau1) reported

    @bt_uk I don't want to be compensated for loss of earnings, but you need to appease me as a customer, at least cancelling my bill for the month or something along those lines. Fault ref # is VOL013-718284185548.

  • RealBobbyRooney Bobby Rooney 🇺🇦☮️ (@RealBobbyRooney) reported from Maghull, England

    No busses, no trains, hammered down with rain. Game finished 8:45, rolled in 10:15pm. Shite. @btsport you can swerve that in future, thanks.

  • darkmatter111 Simon Briggs FRAS (@darkmatter111) reported

    What's the point of your complaint's system BT you close a case on the same day, 27/09/22 without any answers just in the hope it goes away. Utter joke, and to add insult to injury my engineer visit due today has been put back yet another month @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp are #Rubbish

  • Trevor_Tau1 TvT (@Trevor_Tau1) reported

    @bt_uk It's a residential account, and no the problem hasn't been fixed since Friday 08/10. Been given Wednesday 12/10 as the timeframe. Wil I be compensated for lost time because I work from home? That isn't good at all...

  • Atomic_Chops Atomic_chops (@Atomic_Chops) reported

    @bt_uk your call center Quality staff need to sort their stuff out because the state of these calls to customer service and sales is unreal thank god I'm not a customer I'll just stay where I am because who could be dealing with BT staff brutal I say how is quality missing it

  • Windyshot Windyshot (@Windyshot) reported

    Another day with internet troubles, so probably no stream unless it sorta itself out 😭 Been going on for a week now it’s actually ridiculous @bt_uk you need to sort it out. Shouldn’t have to put up with these issues for this long.

  • LialtDolla Bando Boy 💵🦍 (@LialtDolla) reported

    @LFC Will never think in my life that we lost this game bcos we were totally rob even Btsport are better than those people behind the VAR machine hmm see how west ham last 2 goals stood when it was clearly seen they handled that ball and don’t know why Gabriel’s handball wasn’t pen💔

  • AllZeeZ AllZeeZ (@AllZeeZ) reported

    @bt_uk Once again a massive thank you to #LukeinLincoln. When everyone else was refusing to help me, he turned things around. What did he do? He provided me great customer service, he provided me a solution that ensured I had a running wifi, he made sure to stay in contact.
