    @EE @btsport Never mind your bleeding BT sport, why have I had broadband problems since 9am this morning?

  • coolandthegangs ©00[&th€9@ng🛵 (@coolandthegangs) reported

    @bt_uk The only problem is we have to put up with @IanDarke 😫

  • Sharonkuhl Sharon Ducker (was Kuhl) (@Sharonkuhl) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk HELLO AGAIN JUST AN UPDATE WITH MY MOTHERS ON-GOING PHONE ISSUE (& YES I AM SHOUTING) her phone was due to be connected in OCTOBER 2019-various errors by YOU means even after an engineer visit yesterday we are no further forward. MY MUM IS 77 & NEEDS HER HOME PHONE #POOR

  • Livelaugh2020 Michelle (@Livelaugh2020) reported

    @bt_uk The line is copper and its crap because you won't upgrade it. Its also been ripped down by a farmer in October and you've yet to fix it

  • stor196 stores (@stor196) reported

    @bt_uk so you keep sending me text messages asking to call you because you’ve cocked your my order....but then when I do there’s a 45 minute wait on the phone!!! Disgraceful service all round really!

  • LAP_Racing ƤЄƬЄƦ ԼƛƁƠƦƝЄ 📸🏁🚗 (@LAP_Racing) reported

    @bt_uk No, that’s not what I’m saying. The SEO description gives impression BT Broadband customers can watch BT Sport for free on the BT Sport app. @Ofcom would you expect when seeing original search result that if you’re a BT Broadband customer you can watch on their app for free?

  • Livelaugh2020 Michelle (@Livelaugh2020) reported

    @bt_uk any chance you are going to fix the lines near Bathealton. Line been hung over a wall for months, Internet intermittent and awful. You should be upgrading people in these areas not upgrading the superfast already

  • flashkickuk Chris Ilabaca (@flashkickuk) reported

    @bt_uk How do I apply for this £100? I pay for a 100mbps connection and have buffering issues all the time!

  • liv1493 Liv Marsh 💙 (@liv1493) reported

    I’m sure nobody at @bt_uk communicates with each other! Contractor came out to the house at Christmas and highlighted an issue. We have also informed them of this several times and been passed from pillar to post. Contractor has come today to install Wi-fi and guess what?

  • tiamatthews97 tia (@tiamatthews97) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve been on hold for 40 mins now. I ordered bt broadband and landline on 17th january meant to be delivered today, gone to track delivery and it says it’s been cancelled at my request but I haven’t done this? Could I have some help pleas

  • RussMichaels Russ Michaels Consulting (@RussMichaels) reported

    well so far transferring my broadband to @bt has been a massive mistake. Nothing but problems since day 1. Connection is up and down like a yoyo. One engineer after another coming out and not fixing the problem. @btbusinesscare

  • ieatchilangos maida vale (@ieatchilangos) reported

    @bt_uk Nick. I did manage to get through but the issue I have is that I’m unable to do my job without the internet and I’m being quoted an install date of 18 March. My livelihood will be seriously damaged if I don’t get the internet switched on. There’s fibre to the premises.

  • eabs1988 Ed (@eabs1988) reported

    @bt_uk 10 days and counting.... still no Broadand. Shocking service! Supposed to have been ‘completed’ on 5 different occasions now. Nope 😡

  • KrisO1805 Kris (@KrisO1805) reported

    @bt_uk hi my internet is currently down is this a problem in the DH2 area?

  • camilla1965 Milly (@camilla1965) reported

    @bt_uk still trying to reduce my Bt monthly package £110 for bb land line and mobile. Sticking point is 24 month contracts which Bt can’t or won’t amend, or reduce canx charges they are looking at options to help folks who are loosing their jobs @MartinSLewis @angellicabell

  • d4vidc88 David Clark 🇬🇧 (@d4vidc88) reported

    @bt_uk 24 hour after my broadband was due to go on still absolutely nothing. Extremely poor service, all I get is we apologise. Are you going to compensate me for not being able to work from home? #shocking #newcustomer #notimpressed

  • Ieuan_Swan Ieuan Williams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Ieuan_Swan) reported

    @scfctheo Stupid time again, cheers @btsport 👍

  • Willtod54568521 Willtodd (@Willtod54568521) reported

    @bt_uk Jesus you took 6 months, 4 engineers visits and 30 hours of phone calls to fix my problem!

  • ianlearly Ian Learmonth (@ianlearly) reported

    @EE @btsport I've had an issue logging into my online account for the last 2days. 2 chats with tech support , a Dm to yourselves and a call to 150 and still not resolved. One attempt at resolving this resulted in me logging in and getting someone else's plan and phone showing. Shocking!

  • HebdenDown Debbie (@HebdenDown) reported

    @bt_uk Honestly I’ve never had such appalling service , an 84 yr old who lives alone losing her phoneline which is her lifeline, through no fault of her own . Demands for money not owed, the list goes on and on

  • StaceySyiem S.S. (@StaceySyiem) reported

    @bt_uk Scamming company , advertising subsidised phn & broadband pkgs for the poor but still charging them full amount!!!

  • liv1493 Liv Marsh 💙 (@liv1493) reported

    Same issue is still there! @bt_uk we have been without internet for 6 weeks now. My fiancé cannot work from home in a time where we are being encouraged to do so, because we have no internet! The amount of time that has been wasted on this issue is just ridiculous 😡

  • JoeyEllis88 Joseph Ellis (@JoeyEllis88) reported

    @bt_uk Finally our Broadband was up and running for the best part of a Month, only for another Engineer to come back out this Week to try and set up the landline and decided to CANCEL OUR ACCOUNT!? And now you cannot confirm when we will have our Broadband back?!?!...

  • fnlewis_ fnlewis (@fnlewis_) reported

    @bt_uk @LinkedInUK cringe **** company

  • EchoesEm Em | Echoes of Em 🍁🍂 (@EchoesEm) reported

    After 65 days and who knows how many hours spent on the phone with various providers WE HAVE BROADBAND AGAIN. Thanks to @bt_uk for finally getting us back online. Absolutely no thanks at all to @Plusnet who caused the problem and weren’t able to fix it.

  • ploberman Paul Loberman (@ploberman) reported

    34 minutes on hold for @bt_uk then they answer, no one speaks and they hang up! How's your day going?

  • scarerkite Sarah Knight (@scarerkite) reported

    Hi @bt_uk - our internet has gone off and our Service Provider say they can't run remote tests and need to send an engineer (Tue earliest). One of your vans is parked outside - have they disconnected us by accident?

  • chrispe35 Pearcey (@chrispe35) reported

    @bt_uk Still waiting! Told Engineers would turn up today (29th Jan). Once again a no-show. Starting to believe you want me cancel my FTTP order so you don’t have to pay any compensation as per Ofcom guidelines!! Shocking service.

  • JoeyEllis88 Joseph Ellis (@JoeyEllis88) reported

    @bt_uk I have been on hold for a cumulative 6 Hours trying to find out why my broadband is not working?? I appreciate we are in a pandemic but this is absurd...

  • wombathell Mick Taylor (@wombathell) reported

    @Mas79K @andNickMullins @btsport I know that, and it is better than not seeing the game at all. You can't use the app if you subscribe through Sky, so they take your money but don't give you the full benefits, I knew that before I subscribed through sky so not a complaint after the fact.
