  • JezzaTrev Jeremy Trevathan (@JezzaTrev) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Why is my broadband not working in West London @bt_uk?

  • lil_angi Angie (@lil_angi) reported

    @bt_uk how can I help boost my WiFi? Set up my sons gaming computer upstairs in his room....the Internet signal is crap! Had no bother when it was downstairs!

  • Richcanbake Richard Johnston (@Richcanbake) reported

    Very disappointed with @bt_uk for how poorly they have treated the vulnerable adults I support. Three and a half hours of chats with 4 different people, that got us nowhere. Misinformation, taking and asking for more, passing the blame #poorcustomerservice #vulnerableadults

  • law_ender Rob Lavender Woke Up Cranky #SupportNHS💙 (@law_ender) reported

    @lulathemoth @bt_uk Yeah I mean I did watch it on my phone but via mobile internet not their garbage WiFi hotspot because it keeps cutting out. Still, the "deal with it" attitude definitely made me feel valued as a customer 🙃

  • countycasual77 Mr Nice (@countycasual77) reported

    @rickhinks @StockportCounty @btsport Worlds worst kept secret

  • Richard_D80 Richard (@Richard_D80) reported

    First time in a few year I can watch MotoGP live on @ITV4 , used to have @btsport but when the price went stupid cancelled as only had it for the bikes!

  • CustomerSpecial Customers r Special (@CustomerSpecial) reported

    @bt @BTCare @bt_global They looked at my account and then confirmed they don't care. Amazingly the support dept is not customer facing and will not talk to me so I am stuffed. Zero support and help for a BT labelled product which they sell called BTcloud??? Bad people.

  • efc_blueboy Chris (@efc_blueboy) reported

    @RGocan @btsport Hi Robbie, Just researched B Positive - my bad, complelty get it now.

  • IanXley Your Local Business Mentor (@IanXley) reported

    @bt_uk I’m trying to test a new website created for a charity by a 3rd party. Using my BT Broadband connection whether by WiFi or LAN connector the message “this domain is brand new please check back again soon”. No such problem using mobile days or VPN. Can you help unblock pls?

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    here is my problem in a world where @btsport and @SkySportsPL televise these competitions and let the players split a $40000 pot you are going to get people looking up to them and wanting what they have so when i come along and say kids start playing when you cheat you are .....

  • lulathemoth Lula Misfortune 🌿 (@lulathemoth) reported

    @bt_uk @law_ender I think he knows how to watch the sport on his PC or phone Michaela. But that's pretty hard when you have no Internet, isn't it? I can't believe that was actual customer service 🤡

  • FawadMa42814492 Fawad Malik (@FawadMa42814492) reported

    @bt_uk extremely disappointed with installation service from BT, order placed on 13/04/21 after one month still waiting for Engineer to come and install the net connection.

  • SoLongFrank Gareth Rees #FBPE #FBPA #Starmer4PM #ToryScumOut (@SoLongFrank) reported

    @MarkHoldstock @bt_uk Why should anyone have to pay £1500 deposit for what should be a Universal Service Obligation? At the moment BT is still the only supplier which has this millstone around their neck while the competition get to utilise their (what was the public’s) infrastructure.

  • hugh_milsom Hugh Milsom (@hugh_milsom) reported

    @bt_uk Do you actually respond to tweets or just simply ignore them? I told you yesterday of a bb speed issue which you have chosen to ignore. Thank you!

  • bully118 PB (@bully118) reported

    @coys100 btsport were class. prematch pundits and commentators. Savage made some errors but hoddle insights were top @GlennHoddle @btsport

  • MixedMartialAr Mixed Martial Arts (@MixedMartialAr) reported

    @lochs_and_glens @L2Jonnie @btsport Also shut down the Telex network. And Ceefax too. Bunch of currently-relevant bigots.

  • MickLum Mick Lumley (@MickLum) reported

    @btsport why am I paying an arm and a leg for MotoGP coverage in SD, plus another chunk for viewing on a 2nd box when @ITV4 are showing it free in HD? It's bad enough paying through the nose for football I have no interest in watching, now this. Up your game or lose a customer

  • RGocan Robbie G (@RGocan) reported

    @efc_blueboy @btsport No problem mate. I understand why you would be sceptical at first. They are doing great work and got more people to donate blood 👏🏾

  • MrRedDevil27 🔰Red_Devil🔰 (@MrRedDevil27) reported

    @btsport sort you damn app out, constantly crashing or freezing!!!!

  • cestriankeef Keith (@cestriankeef) reported

    @bt_uk nearly every occasion I use Mybt it states restart and I have to log in with BT ID and password . I have deleted and downloaded the app , cleared cache etc but problem still exists. Other people have commented that they have same problem ...is it being sorted. Cheers

  • SuWhittle Susan Whittle (@SuWhittle) reported

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp @WeAreOpenreach Appalling service! 11 days without business line phone and broadband. Several complaints logged. Promised 24-48 hour fix every single day when I chased. No update calls. Was told it would be fixed by the end of today! Won’t hold my breath!

  • Richcanbake Richard Johnston (@Richcanbake) reported

    @bt_uk Due to how poorly we were treated we are going to find a different provider. Unless you have a private way I can share the problem with you, as the previous people we spoke to were not helpful at all.

  • Chris_O10 Chris (@Chris_O10) reported

    @bt_uk There’s no point. It’s been going on for so long, but I’m trapped. No one else can provide internet for me. Just you, so I just have to put up with this poor service all the time

  • scalderterry Sam Calder (@scalderterry) reported

    @bt_uk We have done this and its still not working properly. We will do the line test.

  • EricChipulina Eric Chipulina (@EricChipulina) reported

    @btsport #StopTravellerHate BT advertise in the Times who attack Travellers, i am a BT customer but won't be for long unless this is sorted

  • vrice1975 Victoria (@vrice1975) reported

    @BTCare is there any planned works in the Otley area LS21 as my YouVeiw signal is lost! The apps are working just not YouView

  • markbaker1966 Mark Baker 🦅 (@markbaker1966) reported from Slapton, England

    Another 2 hours on the phone trying to sort this fiasco out … no explanation, nothing resolved and no response from @bt_uk @BTCare … the worst business I’ve had to deal with and without doubt the worst customer service experience ever

  • LeicTig_RedSox Ian Dakin (@LeicTig_RedSox) reported

    @btsport Why is your my tv web site so rubbish when trying to sort out problems. I was trying to watch Greavesie when it came up parental control, put in code number. Parental control isn’t activated on the account. Trying to sort the issue is annoying.

  • L14OLA Lia Roguszka (@L14OLA) reported from Chellaston, England

    @btsportmotogp the monthly pass on @btsport is down ! This is useless !!! My monthly subs didn’t auto renew and now it’s down !!!! When can I get in to motogp?? You’ve taken the £25 but not delivered

  • DieselTuning John Devlin ⚽️ (@DieselTuning) reported
