  • chaward Dr Haward Soper (@chaward) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @bt_uk Did that already. No reply. Got answer on phone after 22 mins. V helpful lady fixed problem. But that was the only good part of the service. Response on Twitter was poor.

  • apettitte200 Apettitte123 (@apettitte200) reported

    @btsportfootball @btsport Your cricket comment is awful

  • Ms_Cherry_B 🇬🇩 Elle-Ay 💕 (@Ms_Cherry_B) reported

    @bt_uk especially as I know you’re gonna soon send me some ridiculous price rise rubbish! I’m not paying MORE, for a lesser service! I would rather take my money elsewhere if you think that is gonna be the case!

  • Nuna_holmes Nuna Holmes (@Nuna_holmes) reported

    @bt_uk Internet still down in Eastwood, Todmorden. Any ideas when this will be up again? Been over 36 hours now

  • Morris77 James Morris (@Morris77) reported

    @BTCare why is reception for @btsport so poor on my new bt box? I’m on fibre 100 with you and the Wi-Fi hub is in the same room. This is in SD. Do you purposely make the signal glitchy? Never had a problem with other streaming to the tv.

  • Ms_Cherry_B 🇬🇩 Elle-Ay 💕 (@Ms_Cherry_B) reported

    @bt_uk Please check your DM and respond. Yet again, I’m having an issue with this stupid connection constantly a tipping & starting itself. You used to be great but if this is the best you can now offer me, I’m going to have to consider my options. I’m not gonna keep having this

  • fabmilano fab.io (@fabmilano) reported

    @bt_uk Hi - is there a broadband outage in AL1? Have been unable to connect for about 2h.

  • Nuna_holmes Nuna Holmes (@Nuna_holmes) reported

  • merchantofshite jamie (@merchantofshite) reported

    The #BTSport commentators have been full of demented ****. Jeez I wonder why everyone streams!

  • ashburtonXI Ashburton XI (@ashburtonXI) reported

    @btsport can you turn your ufc advert down, ******* ridiculous

  • optimark_prime Mark McCormack 💜 (@optimark_prime) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there, my BT fibreoptic is supposed to give me 30mbs, but currently it’s only around 3mbs, and has been poor for a while. Also, whenever I receive a call on the landline, the router resets.

  • Tomahol1 Tom Holland (@Tomahol1) reported

    46 days since my @bt_uk internet went down. In that time I've spent £45.33 on that service, and the #ISS has completed 736 orbits of Earth. I'm now owed £369.60 in compensation. @WeAreOpenreach SSKMD MSO active for 100 days. #stilloffline

  • bowiserno1 connor bowie (@bowiserno1) reported

    @btsportwwe @btsport why is the replay for last night's smack down not on BT sport app

  • bwlgirl Jane Chalk (@bwlgirl) reported

    @bt_uk the phones that my parents purchased last July aren’t working. Outgoing calls fine. Incoming the caller can’t hear my parents talking. My dad is in poor health & the phone is their lifeline. What are my options please? I have a receipt? Can I return them to Argos?

  • mchahalholden Mark (@mchahalholden) reported

    @bt_uk There is an issue with your AppleTV app. We pay the expensive monthly subscription to watch it on our TV’s using your App, but it is not working.

  • TheSmall1_ Jess🐈🐱🐾 (@TheSmall1_) reported

    Honestly so frustrated. Without internet since 2pm. Can't get a 4g mini hub cause I haven't got the package where it includes it. Won't be compensated for loss of service cause only happens when fault on line. FML #bt #sortitout @bt_uk

  • Nick_Spragg Nick Spragg (@Nick_Spragg) reported

    @ChrisHolt1982 @btsport @btsportwwe I’ve been watching the recording from last night, has it not been on again? The ‘**** You Roman’ chant didn’t last that long tbh…

  • Hibby44 Laura 🏳️‍🌈💙💛🇺🇦 (@Hibby44) reported

    @bt_uk @SarahNL66 @bt_uk just stop repeating same old BS about it being heavily advertised when it isn’t. Read the room. The price increases are disgraceful especially given what’s going on with cost of living etc. A price fix literally means a price fix. Disgusting behaviour.

  • mchahalholden Mark (@mchahalholden) reported

    @bt_uk It’s not the same App. I have a 1G fibre internet connect. The AppleTV’s are wired, I get 950Mbps speed to the AppleTV. Netflix, AmazonTV. iPlayer no issues.. just BT Sports app not working

  • CommonSenceUK TheCommonSense 💎 (@CommonSenceUK) reported

    @btsportfootball Your lady co-commentator is sooooooo bad its beyond a joke now. Get an ex-player in please like Lampard or Redknapp Robbie Earle Alan Smith..??? #VolumeDown #BTsport #Astonvillavsarsenal

  • RichDevall Dickie G (@RichDevall) reported

    Do me a favour and turn the ******* volume down on that Edwards v Usman advert @btsport

  • lissieann elisabeth spencer (@lissieann) reported

    @bt_uk VILE CUSTOMER SERVICE - 88 year old with lifeline and phone has disconnected and we can’t get through to anyone who can fix. Total duty of care failure.

  • GarethHanby Gareth (@GarethHanby) reported

    @fatfootballkhan @btsportfootball @btsport They are subject to licensing issues and post as soon as they can.

  • chaward Dr Haward Soper (@chaward) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @bt_uk dreadful service. Sitting on phone listening to awful music. TV not working at all. Get BTP-202 error. Tried all suggestions. TV working on phone. Am fed up.

  • Notorious401 Drago (@Notorious401) reported

    @WittyHandle7 @btsportwwe @arielhelwani When did Vince start cutting him checks? He doesn't work for WWE, he works for BTSport who cover WWE. No different than the time he worked for ESPN who covered UFC, NBA and had him at some of those shows.

  • AussieInLondon9 Matt (@AussieInLondon9) reported

    @btsport fyi - you are letting down Australian and Indian cricket fans in Uk. Nearly 12 hours after play finished there are still no highlights of day 2 of the second test uploaded to your app. & The replay of day 2 stops after 2hrs - ie missing 2 sessions.

  • Marsh_JC James Marsh (@Marsh_JC) reported

    Wishing my old @btsport colleagues luck tonight. England have never won a Test match on BT - this is the 14th attempt. NZ not a team to go quietly though.

  • battleinyork Richard York (@battleinyork) reported

    @bt_uk i want to cancel, but i refuse to sit on hold for god knows how long! please provide an email to allow me to do this.

  • ChavesRaff Revd Raff Chaves (@ChavesRaff) reported

    @bt_uk unreliable Wi-Fi for months, sent engineers 3 times, still unreliable, promised compensation, never given. Called today, been told Wi-Fi is “good” on their end, when it’s clearly not, and got told I need to pay £300 to end contract. Appalling customer service! NEVER AGAIN

  • Ben020990 Ben (@Ben020990) reported

    @btsport please keep @martinkeown5 of the air he is the most biased pundit and nothing bad can be said about arsenal. Least find ex player that can be a good pundit.
