    @gunnersonwheels @btsport @SkySportsPL using football to force the Vegan agenda. Meanwhile we sit freezing & staring at an empty fridge. When all the crops fail due to fires, wind, floods, drought or war the world will starve, the rich will survive & the poorest culled through famine & man made viruses,#depopulation

    @SarahAuty @bt_uk Openreach is responsible to maintain and repair the network. Your provider is responsible to manage any fault issues on your behalf. This means that they must contact Openreach for you. Your provier is our direct customer so we have a team who they can contact.

  • PaulCollard8 Paul Collard (@PaulCollard8) reported

    @daveynelson @bt_uk Believe it or not Dave when we had a problem eventually it was traced to a loose wire in the main BT exchange!

  • nattynats1 lovelife21 (@nattynats1) reported

    @bt_uk I will be cancelling my service with you. This is so out of order

  • Javi707512235 Javi (@Javi707512235) reported

    @bt_uk 10 days without internet, would have never expected this from @bt_uk shocking!

  • D4ve0 Daveo (@D4ve0) reported

    Looks like the apprentice stuck the camera up what ******** is this #btsport #EvertonFC #arsenal

  • MedicareCos Medicare Cosmetics (@MedicareCos) reported

    @bt_uk Why do you make it so difficult to make a proper complaint BT … the advisors don’t take it seriously … all I want is an email address to send the complaint to someone in my own words them for someone to read it, take in the facts then do something about the situation

  • basillaura85 Laura (@basillaura85) reported

    @bt_uk are there any problems with broadband in the Barrow-in-Furness area please? My router is flashing purple everything is plugged in properly. I've reset but still same problem

  • nice_hissMRE Nice Hiss (@nice_hissMRE) reported

    Climate Change is not a real problem. Stop shoving it down our throats. #EVEARS #BTSport

  • TriciaPedlar Tricia Pedlar (@TriciaPedlar) reported

    @bt_uk That's been the message we've been getting since 9th Jan - so we're losing trust - needs sorting before we cancel DD 8 Feb.

  • OfficialBithell Ian Bithell (@OfficialBithell) reported

    Is it just me who has issues with @btsport channel just now. I know its not my Internet, defo there issue. #btsport

  • boodie71 gregb (@boodie71) reported

    @bt_uk I have a problem with my BT ID and I’m getting nowhere on the telephone. Can it be completely deleted and start again with a different email address?

  • nattynats1 lovelife21 (@nattynats1) reported

    @bt_uk this is a disgusting service, my WiFi has not been working since 25 Jan, and u have the audacity to send me a bill

  • Olivia_28 Olivia Dudley (@Olivia_28) reported

    @bt_uk It’s been working fine until early this morning. It’s connected but not working; we plugged the old hybrid in and that showed blue signal lights but didn’t pair with the by hub

  • SarahAuty Sarah Auty (@SarahAuty) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk say it’s your issue

  • TriciaPedlar Tricia Pedlar (@TriciaPedlar) reported

    @bt_uk - tweeting as 5 months saga incorrect billing to 80yr old parents still ongoing. This month - 3 emails to customer resolution teams and DMs to you have yielded no removal of erroneous and stressful £302 charge. Public request - please actually sort asap.

  • alistairblevins Alistair Blevins (@alistairblevins) reported

    @bt_uk our broadband went down today (Fri). The earliest engineer appt is next Weds; that may only locate the fault. We live in a rural location, barely any mobile data coverage, and my wife works from home, yet we are at least 5 days from resolution. Is there nothing you can do?

  • Olivia_28 Olivia Dudley (@Olivia_28) reported

    @bt_uk is there anything wrong with your service? Our hybrid router is signal is flashing red

  • streetswept Blank (@streetswept) reported

    Also, @SkyTV, it keeps recording random things we never asked it to, and deleting @BTSport items I haven't watched. Only @BTSport stuff though.

  • pumps1000 Ian Reynolds (@pumps1000) reported

    @bt_uk I still blame BT. They own the phone network. They should have more robust security measures in place to prevent computer based scammers accessing their system. I think its called "cyber security" - all the rage these days - proper businesses put systems in place to prevent it.

  • seanybizzle Sean (@seanybizzle) reported

    The quality of punditry on @btsport has fallen so so dramatically. Absolute tosh being spoken by Martin Keown and the horrendous Courtney Sweetman Kirk. You can see Rio Ferdinand suffering with every word that they say. Awful programme

  • OrientMeatPie 🍩 Andy 🍩 (@OrientMeatPie) reported

    @btbusinesscare I have a query with my bill but haven’t been able to get through on phone and chat always seems to be down. Can you help?

  • Jason_G95 Jason (@Jason_G95) reported

    @btbusinesscare The chairman’s complaints team have been ‘looking in to this’ for 2 weeks now. You can’t even turn my old service back on because you aren’t taking orders for it anymore. What a joke.

  • MedicareCos Medicare Cosmetics (@MedicareCos) reported

    @bt_uk This has gone on for months since May last year … today our internet and land line was disconnected to my business… the advisor offered me a new number … I have had the number 10 years it’s on all my business literature,i have never not paid my bills the come out DD each month

  • MedicareCos Medicare Cosmetics (@MedicareCos) reported

    @bt_uk @BTBusiness I have spoke to the business team … are they reading off a script ? They seemed unable to understand or help or have I just been unlucky today for the 4 hours I was on the phone being passed from one person to the next

  • chrisdykeno7 chris (@chrisdykeno7) reported

    @btsport having an absolute 10min **** fest over @Arsenal, then theu go to a 15sec cutaway of the @Everton fans protesting outside before the adverts. We need support of media outlets, not for them to hide it.

  • rehana010 Rehana Zaman (@rehana010) reported

    Has anyone else had the worst customer experience from BT. They just don’t want to listen to you at all @bt_uk #customerexperience
