    @England @bt_uk Rice for me. Then get grealish in over Phillips and it’s not a bad starting 11

  • boxmodz oh no, not him! (@boxmodz) reported

    @bt_uk I've waited 20+ years to give bt / openreach the middle finger and in 3 weeks I get my wish, no more 8mbps fttc crap! 🖕

  • Justsum32062003 Justsumguy (@Justsum32062003) reported

    @JeemerTheMeemer @bt_uk Yeah you don't seem to understand what direct payment is... How do you know there are no other problems? For instance are you aren't you using an EO line? Do you know what an EO line is and its implications? Has an NGA been raised? Do you qualify for USO?

  • GaaJ61385709 GaaJ (@GaaJ61385709) reported

    @bt_uk still awaiting a call back from tier 2 team regarding a terrible mistake they have made on my account and dont have the decency to call ...perhaps as they dont know how to handle what they have done

  • bryangibson8 Bryan Gibson (@bryangibson8) reported

    @iant147 @bt_uk Know the feeling poor service because they have the monopoly and own the lines don't give a toss

  • RoystonElmer Roy Elmer (@RoystonElmer) reported

    @bt_uk so, after complaining about our internet speed, and having Openreach out twice, we were told by the engineer that we share our connection / bandwidth with a house down the road. We pay for 40Mb, we assume they do too. We both get 20. Doesn't feel legit.

  • Justsum32062003 Justsumguy (@Justsum32062003) reported

    @JeemerTheMeemer @bt_uk But you don't pay openreach... Multiple good reasons why they may elect not to, access rights or issues, overbuild, maybe you are already over the USO threshold. So you're upset about a company you don't pay not doing a thing they aren't obliged to do

  • sallybromley sallybromley (@sallybromley) reported

    @bt_uk Yes @bt_uk you answer calls but still can’t get your customers connect!!! You really have the worst customer service and set up so disappointing. Wish I had chosen another company.

  • SomersetTaw TAWSomerset (@SomersetTaw) reported

    @bt_uk is there a broadband problem in the TA19 area at all please??

  • jaaacv2 jac (@jaaacv2) reported

    @bt_uk fix my internet *****

  • JeemerTheMeemer JeemerDawg (@JeemerTheMeemer) reported

    @Justsum32062003 @bt_uk I absolutely am, I'm a paying customer, paying the same prices and line rental as those with the upgraded line a few hundred meters away Absolutely no good reason for me to not have broadband parity with them.

  • GemmaEdmonds Gemma Edmonds (@GemmaEdmonds) reported

    @bt_uk We have been told it’s been escalated for the last 2 months but still no resolution. We need a firm plan and someone to take full ownership

  • SuggWillSugg Will Sugg (@SuggWillSugg) reported

    Recently my ping whilst trying to play fifa online has been unbearably high, to the point where it’s almost unplayable. any recommendations how to help. @bt_uk please.

  • mitchchelsea22 mitch (@mitchchelsea22) reported

    @IeeSZN @England @bt_uk Walker was not good . Poor attacking

  • CriticalCripple Critical Cripple - Dave 🌈 ♿ ⚛️ (@CriticalCripple) reported

    @bt_uk Erm, we're on BT, our connection appalling. a town of 60,000 people, and we don't even have FTC, we can't get a stable connection above 1mb down.

  • redpaperrosecom redpaperrose.com (@redpaperrosecom) reported

    @bt_uk 2/2 (neighbour would be okay with line running under his soffits but as his porch is in the way would need scaffolding) so had to cancel order with sky and stick with virgin. I've been told that apparently sky should have contacted BT but as a consumer it's beyond my control

  • karennn_x karenlong. (@karennn_x) reported

    @bt_uk is there an internet outage in Cumbernauld/Glasgow area?

  • KnipeMike Mike Knipe (@KnipeMike) reported

    One of the reasons I never open emails (purporting) to be from BT is they always look like scams. The one I received today was addressed to somebody called Jill Forward and was headd something about refunds, when it wasn't about refunds. Expensive and dozy too @BTCare @bt_uk

  • WHUoli Olly⚒ (@WHUoli) reported

    @freddiehiggins_ @England @bt_uk whilst phillips is not a bad player, Declan was completely ******* clear today?

  • DT2812 David Taylor (@DT2812) reported

    @MarcAllera @bt_uk Help. Appointment today for Full Fibre to be fitted. Items received, email confirmation and update for fitment today. No one turned up no one called. On with customer service for 30 mins no answer. Someone pls DM me to get this resolved. Just so poor.

  • JeemerTheMeemer JeemerDawg (@JeemerTheMeemer) reported

    @Justsum32062003 @bt_uk Who do you think the line rental goes to? I am directly paying them There are no access rights, or ant of the other problems, they just don't want to upgrade the line to modern standards...

  • jukeyisdead č-j (@jukeyisdead) reported

    @freddiehiggins_ @England @bt_uk literally never did anything correct.

  • Gr8Gitana Gr8Gitana (@Gr8Gitana) reported

    @bt_uk is making me lose the will to live! I’ve never seen a company work so hard to NOT keep my business before. Hire more staff!

  • rayallsop1983 RayWilliamAllsop #RaRa (@rayallsop1983) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @bt_uk is there any issues in the Edmonton London aerial ? Got home around 6 this evening and all my Internet keeps doing is going off and back on again! Very annoying now and getting on my nerves 😬 kind regards Ray.

  • ClassyKonsa1 CJ222 (@ClassyKonsa1) reported

    @England @bt_uk No one Terrible performance

  • MikeARyan Mike Ryan (@MikeARyan) reported

    Anyone else finding the @primevideouk on @bt_uk has slowed down hugely.

  • AKS AK (@AKS) reported

    @bt_uk Youve definitely let me down today...

  • KaylifiTTV Kay (@KaylifiTTV) reported

    @bt_uk I am absolutely disgusted in your inability to provide a service. Especially when you were given about 2 months notice of a move. Such a joke.

  • g1aciie gracie perry (@g1aciie) reported

    @bt_uk it’s outrageous that my 83 year old grandparents have been without a landline for over two weeks. They don’t have any way of contacting people in an emergency as they live in a remote area. Sort this out !!!

  • midgemanc ♡ || 𝕄𝕚𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕟𝕔 || ♡ (@midgemanc) reported

    @JBxrlow @bt_uk Honestly never had issues this much with BT. But now its just a joke!!
