    @bt_uk Just connected my home phone into the green port of Halo2 and nothing working. Online instructions poor & can’t get through to tech support call centre. Terrific.

  • villabone VillaBone (@villabone) reported

    @bt_uk problem with your call centre. I'm phoning 03301234150 I get silence for 15 seconds, then a "welcome to BT" followed by complete silence, no options, nothing

  • eastmidsguy1 Chris Williams (@eastmidsguy1) reported

    @helen_spirit1 @bt_uk Big corporates all the same, customer service is a thing of the past. Don't need to care or try anymore because we have allowed them to get away with it for too long. Competition was supposed to encourage differences - its failed

  • thelongview989 Richard Long (@thelongview989) reported

    Just joined @bt_uk last week. Shoddy service, no-one cares, they just want to sell you more rather than solve your problems and then the delivery I need to #WFH from DPD just doesn’t bother to turn up…jokers. Wish I could have ANY OTHER broadband supplier

  • dn21media steveatdn21media (@dn21media) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve tried to ring three times now and your phone system is not working

  • Me_Scuba_Steve Only Me 🇬🇧 (@Me_Scuba_Steve) reported

    Out of curiosity, does bring a @bt_uk broadband customer give you free access to @btsport? Glad to have our broadband back after being down for more than 24 hours. Apparently it was related to a roadside cabinet which does surprise me with the state of some near us.

  • Brain_Bash Lee Hunt (@Brain_Bash) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams we’re having massive issues with porting numbers across to you for our customers. I submitted a cancellation of a port request two days ago and it’s still not been actioned and it’s going to cause disruption when @bt_uk turn off their SIP trunks!!

  • Yaro_Harwood Yaroslav Khromyak (@Yaro_Harwood) reported

    @bt_uk This has been escalated 5 times - no results. @OpenreachHelp @WeAreOpenreach is saying another appointment is needed - for what?? Neighbour downstairs in the same house got his internet up and running - why not me? Why does NOBODY want to put this issue to bad?

  • Markind_0 Mark (@Markind_0) reported

  • AndrewdavisAndy Andy (@AndrewdavisAndy) reported

    @btbusinesscare The worst utilities company I’ve ever known. Used them for numerous businesses and each time had problems that have cost me untold amount of hours and money. Absolute shambles

  • GARYLAW1 GARY LAW (@GARYLAW1) reported

    @btsport must close down for its anti-competitive culture not allowing companies such as @itc_arts to show the Champions League highlights @CommonsDCMS Should now investigate this channel.

  • Samedaysupport Same Day Support (@Samedaysupport) reported

    @bt_uk Could they get in touch with me over the money that you stole for a service I haven't used/received? Call centre staff signed me up to whole home WiFi without my knowledge. I live in a 4 room house! No need for WiFi mesh.

  • Dougwriter Douglas Jackson (@Dougwriter) reported

    @bt_uk I'm getting multiple e-mail messages addressed to Dear BT User asking me to update my Terms of Service or I'll be unable to use BT from mid-October. It looks like Spam, but they're relentless, is it from BT or not?

  • plattyphoto Bernard Platt (@plattyphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @BTCare is there any problems with Bt mail stopped working yesterday and I can’t get it back on

  • S_tiffler Rob Mallett (@S_tiffler) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. Is your 0800 800 150 number not working? I cannot connect to it from either a EE or O2 mobile.

  • mattdfoot Matt Foot (@mattdfoot) reported

    @bt_uk Hi there, any known internet issues in Ipswich (IP10 0BJ) - whole business park seems to be down?

  • villabone VillaBone (@villabone) reported

    @Markind_0 @bt_uk I had to wait a full minute in silence before the options became available. I think you need to check with your tech team, as there seems to be an issue with your automated phone options 👍

  • JennyHepburn Jenny Hepburn (@JennyHepburn) reported

    Can someone @btsport please tell the commentator that Shoretire is pronounced kind of like shaw-reh-tee-ray and NOT shaw-tyre - it’s been explained so many times now and it’s quite rude not to try to get it right!

  • BrianGraham17 Brian Graham (@BrianGraham17) reported

    @thomokop208 @paddybarks @btsport Agree with all but think their pen wasn't. To be fair ref has some set a ***** to overturn it. When gimenez sees he can't get to ball he throws himself down. Pity more refs didn't so same. Brutal dog fight but hey how 3 points.

  • revPACman Revd Paul A. Carr (revPACman) (@revPACman) reported

    @bt_uk 32 days and counting and still no solution. Really? This is becoming beyond a joke - don't you think?

  • MartinAbell17 Martin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@MartinAbell17) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve had enough. I’m going to move service
