  • sadhnasohal Sadhna (@sadhnasohal) reported

    @bt_uk why the customer who pay all their bills always get worse service from you guys?

  • MandyCandy317 Mandy Candy (@MandyCandy317) reported

    @bt_uk And I could get the same service from sky for £25 a month!!

  • antstonelake Ant Stonelake (@antstonelake) reported

    how do i make a complaint @bt_uk

  • ulookingatmefu DR (@ulookingatmefu) reported

    @bt_uk you have lost a customer today. Shocking price rises announced given people's circumstances at the moment. Pure greed and profiteering. Please tell me am I able to cancel now given the size of increases? Or do I need to wait till the end of my contract?

  • SedgleyVetsFC Sedgley Veterans FC (@SedgleyVetsFC) reported

    Unfortunately there will be no Sedgley fans allowed to travel to tomorrows opening day fixture, due to the terrible scenes after the last league game of the season. The only way to follow is @btsport and our official account. Squad of 14 to travel, with one new signing 👀 #SFC

  • Review2Learn My Views Only (@Review2Learn) reported

    @bt_uk Great help @bt_uk Hard to understand why you can’t just send the same person back to the exact location of the fault 😡 £8 a day compensation is laughable.

  • inb63 IAIN (@inb63) reported

    Such a poor shot from Joe Root, didn't need to play it #NZEng @btsport

  • MandyCandy317 Mandy Candy (@MandyCandy317) reported

    @BTCare I’m enraged that my broadband is increasing by nearly 15% to nearly £60 a month. You Offer new customers a deal for £29.99 yet as a loyal customer of over 25 years I’m being punished.

  • twmorgan11 Tom Morgan (@twmorgan11) reported

    @bt_uk But the service is already connected, we’re literally just waiting to switch it on, and it keeps getting delayed. Is there a way to contact open reach?

  • ulookingatmefu DR (@ulookingatmefu) reported

    @simplyjambo @bt_uk It is shocking. Pure greed and profiteering. I like you will cancel now if possible and if not then later.

  • lee_surgenor Lee Surgenor (@lee_surgenor) reported

    @bt_uk having been cut off by Amber on the sales line last night about my 87 year old vulnerable mother being miss-sold BT Full Fibre 900, can someone tell me how I make a complaint as no one seems willing to help?

  • broadcast_sound Broadcast Sound (@broadcast_sound) reported

    @bt_uk Tried that…. Not working need help

  • POULTONGIRL CHRISTINE WILLIAMS (@POULTONGIRL) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve called them and I’m all sorted. Nice to get a good deal as an existing customer 👍👍

  • OluwaseunP Oluwaseun P. (@OluwaseunP) reported

    Very lazy analysis by the @btsport commentators and pundits about the reason for missed chances by Chelsea. They saying the lack of a number nine is the reason. WRONG. We've had nines who've struggled too! It's a mentality problem!

  • redarmy19870 REDarmy (@redarmy19870) reported

    Another live match and another potential red card that the fans don't no if it was even checked, but again why do now @prime but also @btsport and @SkySports never look at potential red cards after a game. Not mentioned once.

  • FKAColinTDF Colin P (He/Him) 🗿 (@FKAColinTDF) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam i have just had an email from @BTCare saying that you have informed them I am leaving to join you. I am not and I was informed clearly on the phone that no action would be taken on your part until I confirmed. How do I make a complaint to the highest level?

  • lmillward86 Lauren Millward (Heaton) (@lmillward86) reported

    3.5 days without @bt_uk broadband or TV & still no idea when it'll be back on. Had a txt that said problem fixed (it wasn't), an email that says book an engineer. Engineer rings half hour before to say not coming as can't fix the issue, already rearranged day at that point 👍

  • peterrichardbro peter brown (@peterrichardbro) reported

    The New Zealand v England test series starts at 1am UK time. Sadly it is only a two test tour, which is never enough. Surely a three test series should be the minimum. This first test is a day/nighter so a pink ball game. TV #BTSport Radio commentary on #talkSport2 #NZvENG

  • hally16sports John Hall (@hally16sports) reported

    @btsportfootball @btsport hello, I tried your messaging service but the guy was worse than useless! I am a Sky customer who subscribes to BT Sport and my son wants to watch BT Sport on his PS5, how does he logon please as I have no account details with BT - thanks, John Hall

  • rodrigomonzonjr Rodrigo Monzon (@rodrigomonzonjr) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Rob. All devices are very slow. Browser takes about 15 seconds or more to load, considering on a 500mb. It's very slow

  • Tomahol1 Tom Holland (@Tomahol1) reported

    Day 44 since my @bt_uk internet dropped. 5 missed resolution dates. £43.35 spent on no service. £352.80 owed in compensation. @WeAreOpenreach SSKMD MSO active for 98 days. #BT have not provided internet for 8% of my total broadband contract. #stilloffline

  • stevend35022139 Stephen Devlin (@stevend35022139) reported from Ballynacarrigy, Leinster

    @SkySports @btsport @BBCSport when are you going to have a conversation about Chelsea and their continuing poor form? If this was Manchester United all the back pages and headlines would be full! And you know it! 100 mill for both Mudryk and Fernandez and not a word said

  • Munafshakir Munaf Shakir (@Munafshakir) reported

    @bt_uk it’s unacceptable to increase broadband prices by over 14%. Your broadband service is a lot more expensive than others anyway, and customers should be allowed to switch their broadband service without paying cancellation fees.

  • PeterDutton81 Peter Dutton (@PeterDutton81) reported

    @bt_uk Have been told it will be fixed soon, so hopefully no more help needed, thank you.

  • PeterDutton81 Peter Dutton (@PeterDutton81) reported

    @bt_uk Internet has been down in TN37 for last two days. What's going on? Very difficult to work from home...

  • SwarbRacer96 Swarb#96 Racer Anglo/Italian 🇪🇺🇮🇹🇬🇧🏁🏁 (@SwarbRacer96) reported

    @btsport Help me out here! BTSport App ipad won't access test match replay - error VC526 - all other content works. Test match works on phone but I want to watch on bigger screen. Everything reset, tried tethering to 4G nothing. I watch test cricket for the serenity....

  • TraceyBtint Tracey Wilkinson 💙 (@TraceyBtint) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Alanah, no I’m good thank you. I was replying to Alex as have the same broadband, he asked if it was just his broadband connection that was slow. (Ours is absolutely fine though thank you 🙏)

  • AbtotsJMH AbtotsJMH (@AbtotsJMH) reported

    @bt_uk Another Engineer booked. But more time wasted and without service in the in-between times. 😔

  • TrevorDonnelly T.A. Donnelly (@TrevorDonnelly) reported

    You have to admire the ***** of a company - @bt_uk - who fail to provide the promised service and then try to charge over £500 for cancelling! @WhichUK

  • ErikRobinson1 Erik Robinson (@ErikRobinson1) reported

    @bt_uk Towards the end of last year my phone line/broadband was down for 7 weeks. This year coming up to 8 weeks and still not fixed. Openreach give conflicting updates, your Cardiff call center understand but can do nothing! 😡
