  • Sharecrazy73 David Newham (@Sharecrazy73) reported

    @btsport your service is terrible. Got billed £80 asked them to close account. Never watched it since pre lockdown 1 and today another £80 bill. Advised pay it or debt collectors will arrive then dispute it after payment. Very bad service. Still on hold 47mins to disconnect????

  • revsw Rev Scott (@revsw) reported

    @HebdenDown @bt_uk @Ofcom Disgusting. If you ran your business like that, you’d soon be out of business. If I vicar-ed like that, the Bishop would be wanting a word. The truth is, these people get away with this sorting of thing because they can. Words fail me.

  • Valimatka Val - 5.4 Spoilers here! (@Valimatka) reported

    How to tell it's getting close to Christmas.. the scam/phising phone calls increase. So far had the @AmazonUK one twice saying they were from Prime. And the @bt_uk one saying they were from Broadband Tech support. Please.. the phone says international and a UK number...FAKE!

  • thefxdream Insert name here (@thefxdream) reported

    @bt_uk Same issue here every time I ring, at least 45 mins to get through. I’ve only been waiting since January to get a phone/broadband line installed so what’s the rush! @bt_uk & @WeAreOpenreach are without a doubt the worst companies I have had the pleasure of dealing with, good job!
