  • andyaaa09 Andyandyandy (@andyaaa09) reported from Stafford, England

    @bt_uk after the rude, stuck up, arrogant useless person I spoke to in the week. Speaking to lynn today was like a breath of fresh air, helped me, sorted out my problems, logged a complaint for me and was so apologetic. An absolute pleasure to deal with.

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Braintree, England

    @T3RRAF0RM @StadiaWorks @Webby317 @bt_uk On my s10 plus it works great. Connection takes about 2-3 minutes to settle down (lag on controls) but after that I dont notice anything. Looks great on the little screen to! But I wouldn't pay for the service atm.

  • sooze74 sue (@sooze74) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @cazacarrick @mrjakehumphrey @btsport I almost missed my last train home back from the Chelsea v arsenal game Tuesday for the same stupid ko time!! No care for the travelling fans at all

  • RedChilliPhoto James Bassitt (@RedChilliPhoto) reported from Newton Abbot, England

    @bt_uk the internet's down and won't be repaired until Wednesday at the latest.. does that mean we'll have to go old school and talk to each other. Kids won't be happy... No Fortnite no youtube no Google assistant no Netflix no WiFi lighting. Forced tech detox. Might read a book

  • cleanelmbridge Laurence wells (@cleanelmbridge) reported from Cobham, England

  • ged2go Gerard (@ged2go) reported from Manchester, England

    @Broxton777 @PPSpainters @bt_uk @SkyUK Yes on Highfield lower down towards the village and you are exaggerating I’m sure it was only about 70 years ago 😂👍

  • TollgateStoke The Tollgate (@TollgateStoke) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @btbusinesscare Alan, we are now being told by that team an engineer will visit us tomorrow. Not acceptable as this is an error by BT, not a fault. Please help ASAP.

  • lukeroyle41 Luke Royle (@lukeroyle41) reported from Urmston, England

    Hey @btsport do us a favour and take all the NHL coverage or don’t take any! I pay for @NHL Gamecentre, @PremierSportsTV yet can’t watch @penguins tonight as I don’t have a BT subscription. You should not need 3 subscriptions to watch NHL in the UK. Shit for the fans again @NHL

  • MikeHead8 Mikey Mike Timebomb (@MikeHead8) reported from Swanley, England

    @MashStPaddy @btsport @BarrowAFC @bromleyfc Tv never cares about fans it's just it was never affecting us before .

  • colinmounsey colin mounsey (@colinmounsey) reported from Chapletown, England

    After @WWEPR @WWEUK ridiculous decision to move to @btsport I have moved to @AEWrestling ... and it’s not bad .... #badforbusiness ... such a shame. #greedisnotgood

  • actionjack84 Liam Jackson (@actionjack84) reported from Haywards Heath, England

    @NlAMHMEALONE @bt_uk British Telecom .... Not in Britain ... doesn't work . Go figure

  • lollifloss Emma brown (@lollifloss) reported from Maidstone, England

    Trying to blackmail me into signing a new contract instead of fixing a problem is bad, bad customer service @bt_uk

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Braintree, England

    @StadiaWorks @Webby317 @T3RRAF0RM @bt_uk No. Xcloud is using off site servers. Xcloud console streaming is using console hardware. No interest in stadia at all. I'm in the beta for xcloud and it runs seamlessly (for me) even when on a 4g network.

  • andyaaa09 Andyandyandy (@andyaaa09) reported from Stafford, England

    @bt_uk not happy with your customer service today! I placed an order online and price on confirmation email states £20 extra! I speak to someone and basically get told tough. Then I say I want to raise it as a formal complaint and I get told “you won’t get an answer”

  • waltygb Walty (@waltygb) reported from Balsall Common, England

    Just phoned to cancel my @btsport subscription that over the years has crept up from £20 to over £35 per month and was immediately offered a reduced rate of £20 pm !!! @MartinSLewis I cancelled anyway

  • RiskManager01 John McLackland (@RiskManager01) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @CCriadoPerez @McAfee_Help @bt_uk Although I have never encountered any virus/mail ware problem for any Mac, you should be able to delete MacAfee files from the Library and Preference Folder.

  • uah9 Usman (@uah9) reported from Manchester, England

    @btsport #MUNBUR Rio is talking about some of those failed signings, none of those players are there now. What's going wrong now, why are ex United players (pundits) afraid to dig the current squad out now. Pogba hasn't played all year, don't blame him for the shit on the pitch

  • shwadywaddyday Chris Osborne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SNP #indyref2 (@shwadywaddyday) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Thank you, 😌I called on Monday to get some info about the early contract buy out scheme so i asked then to start a complaint.. Thanks again for emailing them. Chris

  • gwelmor Gwelmor Holiday Home, Widemouth Bay (@gwelmor) reported from Plymouth, England

    Credit where credit’s due, I’ve been very impressed with the level of service from @WeAreOpenreach and @bt_uk after our WiFi crashed. Not an easy job locating the source but they’ve stuck at it and solved it - with only a little inconvenience to our current guests. Thank you

  • Caitlin91696322 Caitlin Lochhead (@Caitlin91696322) reported from Tewkesbury, England

    We were then promised temporary copper but of course that has not been delivered and we don’t have anything still! I am so disappointed and dissatisfied with the help we have been given and we are all so annoyed we still have no broadband @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp

  • Benzinixo Бензинихо (@Benzinixo) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Ive heard some biased shit in my time but @btsport commentary for Liverpool may just be the worst.
