  • leeanneallan1 Leeanne Allan (@leeanneallan1) reported

    @bt_uk Live chat unavailable, cannot get through on phone to customer service, how do I contact BT to replace a broken power adapter for my Wi-fi disc ???

  • dazM33 DazM33 (@dazM33) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I am on BT mobile, I know its the EE signal and its really bad here, gonna change network soon if it continues

  • dazM33 DazM33 (@dazM33) reported

    @bt_uk EE signal is crap just about everywhere I go, I have already been on to the mobile team and they can’t do anything, I am having to go outside to get a signal

  • NaseemRuby Ruby Naseem (@NaseemRuby) reported

    @btbusinesscare BT are saying I still@have to pay, even though it wasn’t working!! If I’m not happy, which I’m obviously not, I can take to the ombudsman or legal action. It’s for a service that WAS NOT working!

  • TomBoyNI  🏍TomBoyNI™ 🏍  💙 🚫🦠🚫 (@TomBoyNI) reported

    @bt_uk I think it is a smart hub. And I understand the screen shot is from a Wi-fi device. TBF I imagine most people use Wi-fi & generally speaking my Wi-fi connection is in the mid to high 30s. Recently though it and the wired connections I do have have been slow or failing completely

  • therealbobbrady Bobby Brady (@therealbobbrady) reported

    @bt_uk Apologies, my dig was more aimed at the so called football supporters who abuse their own players, then put up messages of support. From what I've seen, BT sport has always shown a great attitude towards diversity both on social media platforms and on TV.

  • THemingford Thomas H. (@THemingford) reported

    @bt_uk You did not resolve their issue and in the content of the chat that I read, your representatives were wholly inappropriate in what they said and in their tone.

  • wholesomepaul WholesomePaul 💙 (@wholesomepaul) reported

    @trickytw @bt_uk They might disconnect the phone in it, they're not going to melt it down!

  • KyLeeOnPC kyle (@KyLeeOnPC) reported

    @bt_uk There's no point Karen, I'm tired of discussing broadband issues with people that have no idea

  • THemingford Thomas H. (@THemingford) reported

    @bt_uk I don't. But I am appalled at how your customer service team have treated a vulnerable customer and carer recently.

  • adamjamesred Adam Reddish (@adamjamesred) reported

    Settle down to watch the Test Match on a rare day off and right on cue the woeful broadband coverage from @bt_uk drops for what seems like the millionth time during the last couple of weeks.

  • LeonRenilson Leon Renilson (@LeonRenilson) reported

    @btbusinesscare The fault appears to be I have no service - simple FTTP Ordered 92 days ago and all hardware in place on day 1-still waiting-please please please can something be done? Case Reference: IMP-107511522

  • SplainsH Splains Helbits (@SplainsH) reported

    @ScrapzCJ @bt_uk Use the app for everything. Website’s been broken and has been for days. Same web pages/links which are broken on the website work fine when accessed through the app.

  • LeonRenilson Leon Renilson (@LeonRenilson) reported

    @btbusinesscare I already have, but I’m still getting nowhere with BT/Openreach getting the line activated 92 days later Case Reference: IMP-107511522 - Where should customers look to get support when BT Customer Care simply fails?

  • Thrashnut Dan Keough (@Thrashnut) reported

    @bt_uk is there a broadband issue in the Portishead area? Internet has dropped out multiple times since I got up this morning. Postcode BS207BT

  • VSG_Beacon Bradley 🏎🎙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@VSG_Beacon) reported

    @georgemorgantv @bt_uk And they're taunting you with "your fault" as well. Just rude.

  • notyacoubasylla Not Yacouba Sylla (@notyacoubasylla) reported

    @btsport I get your sentiment, but this graphic can be misconstrued to paint the Hungarian players in a bad light. The 4-0 scoreline you used could be seen as a portrayal of their players being full of hatred, when, in fact, it’s some of their fans instead.

  • Stevobman Stevobman (@Stevobman) reported

    @OpenreachHelp howdi, had fibre installation booked 18th Aug. Sat in all day - no show, no comms. Spent 30 mins on phone with @bt_uk told I needed a specialist technician (man with spade) to run the cable, told @WeAreOpenreach would contact me (never happened)…

  • qpr_neiled Neil Edmonds (@qpr_neiled) reported

    @BT_UK have got to be the worst company out there for service and having a broadband connections team full of incompetent liars

  • LeanneRob79 Leanne Robertson (@LeanneRob79) reported

    @bt_uk how do I know its a genuine call from BT? Just had a call on mobile from a +44 0208 number as we had lodged a complaint 15 minutes earlier and my instincts thought it was a scam. Sounded like a noisy call centre 😳😡

  • Mellie2601 Mellie Hulton (@Mellie2601) reported

    @bt_uk Yes SharonK but this is an additional cost of at least £22 a month. I believe all broadband should be reliable and I shouldn't be penalised with unsteady connection because I can't afford additional service.

  • LeonRenilson Leon Renilson (@LeonRenilson) reported

    @btbusinesscare When my install is finally done will BT be using the same terms of engagment for me paying my bills as they have for my installation i.e. three months of excuses with no propect of resolution?...thought not

  • MaxWill16393633 uk..quotes (@MaxWill16393633) reported

    @bt_uk are a pile of **** don’t go for them when looking for internet

  • qpr_neiled Neil Edmonds (@qpr_neiled) reported

    @bt_uk Anyone thinking of this then go elsewhere. They are a joke of a company with appalling service

  • PresBastards Denis (@PresBastards) reported

    @btsport Pretty sure there's plenty of hate in this country. See the vitriol for the players taking the knee... Get off your high horses and look at sorting our **** out first

  • Ben_Harris91 Ben Harris (@Ben_Harris91) reported

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I am fed up of chasing and ringing people at BT who do not know their arse from their elbow. How it has taken 8 weeks to repair and external line fault is baffling. I have no escalated the complaint with Ombudsman Services to seek extra compensation.

  • eyen_ibibio Comfort 🐆 #JB (@eyen_ibibio) reported

    I’ve got to say, @btsport customer service is incredible! Someone should have told me this earlier 👏🏾

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I am fed up of chasing and ringing people at BT who do not know their arse from their elbow. How it has taken 8 weeks to repair an external line fault is baffling. I have now escalated the complaint with Ombudsman Services to seek extra compensation.

  • VSR_Clark Noah Clark | VSR F1 (@VSR_Clark) reported

    @bt_uk @georgemorgantv @OptimumHelp you and BT should fight to the death for world's worst service. A UK vs US classic.

  • Jake__Finch Jake Finch (@Jake__Finch) reported

    @bt_uk I was just saying hi to garry my bad
