  • midchesmufc Paul Williams (@midchesmufc) reported

    @btsport How can you justify £19.95 for a fight that doesn't involve at least one top tier boxer? It's not exatly Fury v Usyk is it? You must think people are stupid?

  • georgiaemma98 Georgia Miller (@georgiaemma98) reported

    @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk absolutely shocking service, have requested on 3 separate occasions for Wi-Fi to be installed in our home, only to be told an hour before no one from Openreach can attend & they can’t do anything to rectify any issues. Please can you help?

  • JamieWicks95 jamiewicks (@JamieWicks95) reported

    @bt_uk please explain why your internet is down again….

    @btsport How can you justify £19.85 for a fight that doesn't involve at least one top tier boxer? You must think people are stupid?

  • JonnyCoughlan1 Jonny (@JonnyCoughlan1) reported

    @bt_uk My Broadband fibre was damaged at the end of August by @CityFibre. Its the 20th September and l still have no broadband. Your support has been awful and the engineer due to attend last friday didn't bother showing up. Today you just charged me £40 for a service l can't use

  • BeatGringosEsq JB (@BeatGringosEsq) reported

    @bt_uk Maybe you would be gracious enough to start to provide detailed service information publicly. I’m sure that I’ll still be charged for this 24hr of downtime, so maybe providing a little clarity as to why it’s down would be the bare minimum of customer service one would expect.

  • BeatGringosEsq JB (@BeatGringosEsq) reported

    @bt_uk can you provide any information on why internet is down in SE25 With people working from home you’re literally affecting peoples jobs and can’t even post an update.

  • chandy68 andy (@chandy68) reported

    @bt_uk another week. Another period of chasing down why the promised broadband is not delivered.

  • LS110192 Lee Shields (@LS110192) reported

    @bt_uk hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help? My broadband contract is due to end on Oct 30th with another provider. I have learning disabilities and was wondering if I chose to switch to BT Broadband, could I get help with that and also get a better deal? (1/2)

  • UtterlyRekt Harry Gateaux (@UtterlyRekt) reported

    @bt_uk @swainson09 Just had a lazy engineer call and say he isn’t coming because the whole area is down and won’t be fixed until 30/9. You’re website reports no such faults. 😡

  • LS110192 Lee Shields (@LS110192) reported

    @bt_uk do you have any deals for people on low income like me? For Broadband? I've seen something called "BT Essentials" does that mean I would qualify? Also, can I get BT Sport for free if I become a BT Customer? I've seen that online before as well (2/2)

  • EQuinnEcolab Elaine Quinn (@EQuinnEcolab) reported

    @bt_uk still awaiting our TV to be connected to BT sport - days waiting for the tech team to fix! We can get it on our handheld devices but your team cannot connect our TV- bored and disappointed with this

  • jhewitt_net Joseph Hewitt (@jhewitt_net) reported

    @ScottMcGready @bt_uk Every write to the flash chip where the settings are stored will wear it out ever so slightly. Think carefully before changing settings, that poor little chip dies a little every time you press "save".

  • JonnyCoughlan1 Jonny (@JonnyCoughlan1) reported

    @bt_uk Really appreciate you doing absolutely nothing to fix my fault and billing me for a service l can't use, then being ignored on here.

  • cathrynjbrown Cathryn Brown ❄️ (@cathrynjbrown) reported

    @bt_uk I seem to be able to select a maximum of 200. I have over 5000 emails that I would like to no longer be weighing me down. Outlook has this as a feature, but we appear to be stuck in the past

  • BuffyIles Buffy Iles (@BuffyIles) reported

    @bt_uk Keep your attitude, I'll contact someone else. I'm not a fake name, and I'll put my entire bank contents on you not having another Buffy Iles as a customer

  • Official_EmCee Boycey (@Official_EmCee) reported

    @bt_uk Glad to see BT taking complaints seriously. Logged complaint and advisor supposed to review recorded call and ring back last Friday. Still no call. Contacted advisor again and guaranteed a call back today - still no call. Thanks for taking my issues so seriously.

  • Ashish_Gunjal Ashish Gunjal (@Ashish_Gunjal) reported

    @virginmedia Today I have been told that installation will take 2 more months! This is just insane customer service- I am trying bring it forward by a few days and you are trying to delay it by months! Phew!! Hope @bt_uk can help?

  • tyke_gamin Tyke Gaming (@tyke_gamin) reported

    @bt_uk starting to get pissed off engineer window for a ariel 9-11 phone call 10:50 engineer broke down need to reschedule for tomorrow now a month I’m paying for bt tv with no actual tv

  • bob_twells Bob Twells (@bob_twells) reported

    @bt_uk Why after 15 plus phone calls, hours wasted waiting for a reply/ broken promises about repairs and 3 weeks still NOTHING -have a great week!

  • spwalker Steve Walker (@spwalker) reported

    @bt_uk Can you help, please? We are traveling in Canada. My wife has received a message on her mobile to say she had a voicemail. Your systems tell her she has reached her spending cap. I cannot increase it using your systems (max £40). How can she access this message, please?

  • Weekdayhangout0 WeekdayHangout-02 (@Weekdayhangout0) reported

    @bt_uk What the actual flying **** is happening to the service in my area? Are you having Instalcom yanking on cabinets degraded “unsettled” copper cables feeding homes? Oh, yeah, that’s something else. Have your engineers actually say it’s beyond their knowledge instead of lying

  • Justice77073679 JC .NONSO⚪ (@Justice77073679) reported

    @Jaydee1111111 @JamesHorncastle @btsport The worst of it they always end of rating them high above par ..

  • BodyTaskforce TurtleHead (@BodyTaskforce) reported

    @bt_uk 4 days no internet after Openreach stripped out my copper and attempted to run fibre into a broken duct! Where is my engineer, why am I living on 4g cards! GB26816757

  • SBuxWarriors Simon Buckett (@SBuxWarriors) reported

    @EE broadband is down but as you only have a service level agreement with BT no one can give me a time to fix. Been told BT might call me in 4 days (maybe). We cant work tomorrow and have no idea how long for alternatives. How is this acceptable? Should have gone direct to @bt_uk

  • Jarmanmark79 Mark jarman (@Jarmanmark79) reported

    @btcare hi, if its not too much trouble can we please have some internet, i know its far too greedy of me to expect some internet even tho i pay a rediculous amount for it but a little bit this week would be nice as so far we have had next to **** all

  • saikitsten ً (@saikitsten) reported

    @bt_uk hello I have received an email about the latest bill however I am not able to login to my account in order to view and pay the bill

  • JonnyCoughlan1 Jonny (@JonnyCoughlan1) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for doing nothing to solve the problem and charging me for the privilege!
