  • PaulWilks PaulWilks (@PaulWilks) reported

    @bt_uk Our broadband speeds are very, very low today. Is there an issue? We have tried resetting the hub, still really slow. We are on the Fibre 100 plan but only getting about 6-10meg download speed.

  • aclassicsreader Emma ✨ (@aclassicsreader) reported

    @bt_uk hi, our internet keeps going down since this morning. I’ve checked and there aren’t any known issues in our area according to your website. Could you please help?

  • TomHayward05 Tom (@TomHayward05) reported

    @bt_uk Okay, thanks, not ideal to be offered a simple service only for it to be made more difficult and likely including an upsell...

  • drifter104 mike (@drifter104) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Sharon. I spent 25mins on the phone to them this morning. They didn't offer the deal or the price I can get as a new customer.

  • DavePhi21925548 Dave Phillips (@DavePhi21925548) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, internet has been intermittent at best for three days and when it is on, it’s painfully slow. Any network outages in Brighton we should be aware of?

  • victoriacoules Vicky 'Open Paddock 9' Coules 💙 (@victoriacoules) reported

    We switched to @bt_uk because we thought we'd get a better product and service!!! AND THE HELPLINE IS CLOSED FOR BANK HOLIDAY. We're supposed to be working tomorrow. DON'T BELIEVE THE BT ADVERTS FOLKS!!!

  • OwenSmithy90 Owen Smith (@OwenSmithy90) reported

    @bt_uk LL301NE no internet for two days and no way to contact as you've decided it's a good idea to close and provide no support? Zero internet.

    @btsport English county cricket that supplies test players is a booring, slow game that hardly anybody goes to watch.

  • FREEZE64UK Vinny Mainolfi | FREEZE64.com | Commodore 64 💎 (@FREEZE64UK) reported

    @owen4d @AndrewW52085286 @bt_uk Cheers buddy. Yeah - it appears the 'unbreakable' system is waiting for a software update to be pushed down our Broadband connection. Been 6 days now. I'm taking into consideration that it has been Xmas... but then again, it should be an automated update, right? Thanks again 👍

  • mwwhtafc81 Mark White Acre 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@mwwhtafc81) reported

    The @ECB_cricket @englandcricket cricket test have been an absolute shambles and very worrying that only Root did anything and I don’t blame him for stepping down after that **** show, only saving grace was it was on BTsport which is shite so I didn’t watch it.

  • paul_mazz Paul Maz (@paul_mazz) reported

    @SkyNews Sky must be loving the fact they never wasted any money on buying the rights to televise live? @btsport how r u feeling??!!!

  • iTechPro2012 Gareth Sibthorpe (@iTechPro2012) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there, I have The BT Smart Hub 2 and have a Fibre 150 package, i’ve just moved my PC downstairs and the wifi coverage just about covers the corner where the PC is located however the signal is weak, is there any chance of sending me a WiFi booster?

  • drifter104 mike (@drifter104) reported

    @bt_uk hi. I'm trying to renew my contract, I currently have full fibre 900 and as a new customer there is an offer for 59.99. I'm being offered 69.99 by the value team. Who are refusing to match the new customer price. Is your price promise a lie?

  • DavePhi21925548 Dave Phillips (@DavePhi21925548) reported

    @bt_uk Says no know issues in my area. Will DM across now.

  • RobKipper Bob (@RobKipper) reported

    Dear @btsport. I have a problem. I subscribed for a month of #ashes cricket but it appears only 1 side turned up. Any chance of a refund?

  • faxveritas veritas (@faxveritas) reported

    @bt_uk How does the online "abuse" that you refer to, manifest itself? "You cannot give offence, only take it Those who choose to take offence have mental issues Those who choose to take offence for others have serious mental issues"

  • Charlanardo Charlie (@Charlanardo) reported

    Absolutely sick of your ****, @bt_uk, almost every time I turn my box on I get a YVM102 error.

  • TheDaveBrookes Dave Brookes (@TheDaveBrookes) reported

    @Mikey4291 @btsport Shocking Mike. This tour has to go down as one of the biggest abject failures of all time!

    Only thing worst than @btsport’s coverage on the ashes was the England Performance 😡

  • kateaustin496 Kate Austin (@kateaustin496) reported from Stratford, England

    @thebedfordfox @btsport Not a bad cricketer either David.

  • owen4d Owen Rees-Hayward (@owen4d) reported

    @FREEZE64UK @AndrewW52085286 @bt_uk Hi Vinny, I was told our Hybrid Connect needed a software update that could only be received via the broadband connection. Our broadband was not yet connected. So our issue sounds like it's probably different to yours. Hope you get it sorted quickly.

  • harriet_doig Harriet Hughes (@harriet_doig) reported

    @bt_uk Hi please can you give me a number to call on from Republic of Ireland, my email has been hacked and I am unable to change my password. +441793596931 on website not working. Thanks

    @bt_uk Yes, I know how to fix it. I do it two or three times a day. I want it to stop.

  • GlenYoungBRFC Glen Young 🇪🇺🇫🇴🌹💙 (@GlenYoungBRFC) reported

    @englandcricket have been awful,the results speak for themselves. But I’m not bothered.I won’t pay to watch sport on tv be it @btsport or @SkyCricket so I can’t get upset about what I haven’t seen. Far more interested in grass roots cricket.
