    @cal_whitehead_ @btsport same here, so switched games only to get Jenas, crap times commentary wise nowerdays

  • __ADAM_T__ Adam (@__ADAM_T__) reported

    5/6 So, I'm sorry to say, but I'm breaking up with you, @bt_uk. It's not me, it's definitely you. I've found someone who treats me better and gives me faster, more reliable service. They might not be as well-known as you, but they're hotter than a habanero pepper.

  • Normanton0809 Five Towns Gossip (@Normanton0809) reported

    Good grief @bt_uk Broadband is terrible....If I wasn't tied in until Oct I'd be away in a flash. I pay for 70Mbs and I'm getting 12Mbs...and they've got the cheek to put the prices up. I appreciate it's 6pm and busy but jeez🙄

  • MilanEire2023 MilanEire (@MilanEire2023) reported

    @ACMilanSydney Absolutely crap bias rubbish listening to @btsport Jermaine jenas is talking total 💩💩💩💩💩💩

  • christatum4949 Chris ⚽️🐾 👁👁🌹 (@christatum4949) reported

    @btsport can you give Sky back the champions league please awful coverage

  • murrrari m (@murrrari) reported

    The biggest champions league fixture of the season till date and @btsport @btsportfootball decide to put the god awful Steve McManaman on commentary.

  • __ADAM_T__ Adam (@__ADAM_T__) reported

    6/6 Goodbye, @bt_uk. It's been...well, not really nice knowing you, but it's been a learning experience. I've learned that sometimes you have to kiss a few toads before you find your prince. And in this case, you're definitely the toad. Sincerely, A Former BT UK Customer.

  • _jamsie22 James (@_jamsie22) reported

    Ian Darke really has to be the worst commentator @btsport

  • JacobPearson01 Jacob Pearson (@JacobPearson01) reported

    @btsportfootball saying Tottenham have let Harry Kane down… where is Harry Kane in these big games? Seems to go missing #TOTACM @SpursOfficial #btsport

  • scousermike2 LiverpoolFC 49er ⚽️🏈🏏 (@scousermike2) reported from Carlisle, England

    Jermaine Jenas is the worst pundit around. Conte is mouthing off, gets a yellow card and all Jenas comes out with is ‘he’s not happy about something’ No ****, Sherlock. @btsportfootball @btsport

  • BlueBlood2510 DJ⭐⭐💙 (@BlueBlood2510) reported

    @neal_army @bt_uk Useless, I got it 2 years ago and it never worked only to find out they don't actually have the service in my part of the area. Thickos

  • roryglee Rory Gleeson (@roryglee) reported

    @bt_uk Haven’t BT averaged profits of £3bn py over the last 5 years? And you’re charging customers 14% more TY?? Surely improvements and “protection” come from profits first. My service has gotten worse over the last 4 years too

  • Dadyougeek John (@Dadyougeek) reported

    Never felt like this before but really don’t want to watch anymore of this team I’m done and seriously considering not coming to the remaining games of the season as I’m not enjoying it. @SpursOfficial Sat I the car under the ground listening to @btsport @mrjakehumphrey

  • AndrewGleave11 Andrew (@AndrewGleave11) reported

    So many great commentators, why do broadcasters stick with the drivel we all listen too?? What hold has Jenas got on BT sport?? Awful. #ChampionsLeague #BTSport

  • TheMarkGordon Mark Gordon (@TheMarkGordon) reported

    Commentary team on @btsport talking like Spurs have just been beaten by a pub team. Darke and Jenas have been as bad as Tottenham tonight. #TOTACM

  • DSTSimpson Dan Simpson (@DSTSimpson) reported

    @bt_uk my router is flashing purple but everything is plugged in. I can’t get my landline number to check the status as your website won’t load my bills. Your contact us page promises a ‘message us’ button but it doesn’t appear. Can you help?

  • MarkIraSmith Mark (@MarkIraSmith) reported

    @btsport @btsportfootball @jjenas8 spot on about spurs horrific performance....Conte's tactics are 10 years out of date.....back 5 just doesn't work with these players. Need a modern, forward thinking manager, who makes the most of these attacking players.

  • hasikapatel Hasika Patel (@hasikapatel) reported

    @bt_uk I cannot make or receive calls on my landline nor do we have broadband. Is there an outage anywhere? Please advise.

  • stevf79 Stephen Fagan (@stevf79) reported

    What am i missing ? Pundits on BT keep going on about Harry Kane as if he is Mr Spurs. Hes terrible. A luxury. Hopeless #spurs #btsport @btsportfootball

  • GRCM30 CM30 (@GRCM30) reported

    It's honestly a joke how bad internet connections are in this area, and it makes zero sense. Can someone at @bt_uk explain why this road seems to be stuck at near dial up speeds while everywhere else in town (and many rural places) get fibre? It's not even listed as 'available'

  • chris_roche85 Christopher Roche (@chris_roche85) reported

    Really disappointing that BT Sport tune down the crowd volume on European nights like these. I know for a fact other channels do not do this and it is a better watch as a result. @btsport #ChampionsLeague #BAYPSG

  • theJohnoneball Just John (@theJohnoneball) reported

    @btsport if Walton says its a red its a red.... FFS glad i dont pay to listen to your **** commentary

  • RegUtfart Utfart (@RegUtfart) reported

    My @Asus laptop struggles with @bt_uk Wifi in a way that some of my devices don't. Some of it down to not brilliant wifi (hence I use a TP-Link external USB device) but some of it has to be down to Windows. It tells me "connected, no internet" when other devices can see internet.

  • davegow1 whenpateswentup (@davegow1) reported

    @neal_army @bt_uk I had similar a few years ago, placed order, not connected on scheduled day, was told not enough room in junction box, so I asked why don’t you check there is beforehand? went on and on, cancelled eventually, I wouldn’t recommend that lot to my worst enemy.

  • davegow1 whenpateswentup (@davegow1) reported

    @neal_army @bt_uk Eventually my issue was passed on to a case manager who I couldn’t fault, unfortunately I still couldn’t get connected, so I placed an order with Talk Talk and hey presto !!! I have broadband now.

  • Georget95545661 Georgette (@Georget95545661) reported

    @bt_uk i can’t wait to cancel my broadband contract with you thieves! Rubbish connection and overpriced

  • neal_army Johnny Neal’s Blue & White Army ⭐️⭐️ (@neal_army) reported

    @davegow1 @bt_uk I’ve found them OK before and need reliable WiFi as I WFH, but this shambles has raised a few concerns. Heard from a VERY good source that the issue is that instead of sending out new hubs, they try to get customers hooked up to old equipment which they know is unreliable.

  • davegow1 whenpateswentup (@davegow1) reported

    @neal_army @bt_uk Before all this I was with Sky, they were terrible, luckily for me so far Talk Talk have been good.

  • maddie_moohoo Angela Simon (@maddie_moohoo) reported

    @garethlpowell @bt_uk Wow what a coincidence I also had same issues a day ago but luckily @Flexizecode helped me out in minutes.

  • TurdBaz Baz **** (@TurdBaz) reported

    @SheilaEYoung1 Aarrp. I was meant to be photographing the sodding thing. Instead I was protesting to @bt_uk why had they kept me tucked up at home waiting for a broadband engineer who was never going to come? #**** No call, no nothing. Still no broadband. Been a month now. #BrokenBritain
