    @harryguttridge @talkSPORT @RealRomfordPele Well Parlour is chatting absolute **** so struggling to understand how you agree with that. Talksport btsport skysport they're making money the same way why is it so wrong if fans do the same?

  • paulpbarker54 Paul Barker (@paulpbarker54) reported

    @bt_uk BT talking garbage again as usual. There in no EE signal where I live and hasn't been for years and I don't live up a mountain or in a valley or even on the East Coast. 4 weeks ago the ONS employee couldn't log in to their server standing in my drive. Yes you're right, EE.

  • dtattss David Tattersall (@dtattss) reported

    @bt_uk Hi is there a problem in the Burnley area, lost all internet connection

  • Michele__Walker Michele 💙 (@Michele__Walker) reported

    @bt_uk Your company has to much money they don’t give a damn

  • CharlyeMcmillan Charlye McMillan (@CharlyeMcmillan) reported

    @bt_uk Can we please get an @OpenreachHelp engineer out today to restore our service today? This was supposed to be resolved Wednesday and we are now being told "maybe" tomorrow or into next week. We've an infant in the home; this is bordering on absurd.

  • Olls2021 Oldster (@Olls2021) reported

    @bt_uk I've sent an email, so lets see what happens. Looks like they'd be better off melted down!

  • DonnyMurray Donny (@DonnyMurray) reported

    @bt_uk can you please get your broadband service up and running ASAP.! PO22 area

  • melvaz Mel Vaz (@melvaz) reported

    @BTCare I am by no means adverse to technological improvements. However.....phones going digital. We have always had a land line in case of emergencies if the power goes off. You have stated that in an emergency we must use the mobile. What if you have VERY poor or no signal?

  • mustbecwaced Cllr Lynn Riley (@mustbecwaced) reported

    Are @BT_uk having a laugh!!! It doesn’t offer up a negative option just a negative customer experience. Based on your recent interaction, how likely are you to recommend BT to friends or family? From 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely).

  • TurboGamingUK TurboGamingUK (@TurboGamingUK) reported

    @bt_uk why is my experience being just as bad as @TalkTalk? Engineer was a no-show and the line is still inactive. Is anyone actually capable of providing a bloody internet service?! A whole month, 2 companies and I'm STILL nowhere 😡🤬

  • Touheyy Liam (@Touheyy) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, it’s fine. I can’t really be bothered to explain the issue for the 100th time. I’m awaiting a phone call off a manager and I will be emailing the CEO shortly. If you want to discuss please call me.

  • lancashiredoug Doug Walker (@lancashiredoug) reported

    @bt_uk It seems @bt_uk do this every few months though - I don’t get this from my other email accounts I don’t use much - it feels bullying- perhaps to buy a more premium service?

  • MrScarzy ry (@MrScarzy) reported

    @bt_uk Brilliant. What about the call back from the manager regarding my complaint? That was meant to be 3 days ago!

  • saddaysarehere whysoangry (@saddaysarehere) reported

    @GezzMUFC @markgoldbridge @btsport RedKnights supposedly resurfacing . I am happy to buy shares but nothing the crap they offer . We should all have the chance to buy into our club #GlazersOut

  • AdamBarlow1664 Adam Barlow (@AdamBarlow1664) reported

  • melvaz Mel Vaz (@melvaz) reported

    @bt_uk Doing a quick signal check for my property they all say that may experience problems indoors. Let's hope I never have that problem..

  • MilkmanSam_ Milkman (@MilkmanSam_) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t think it’s anything to do with the servers of the game i am playing, since I can hear players voice in party chats lagging, and also have the same issue on every game I play

  • AzizDibba Aziz (@AzizDibba) reported

    @iMiaSanMia @honigstein @btsport Ofcos that was never goin to happen

  • Michele__Walker Michele 💙 (@Michele__Walker) reported

    @bt_uk It’s an old style one I’ve been told by BT. We use a plug in computer that needs direct wired WiFi. 3 weeks order cancelled and customer not told. Wow. How can BT get away with it. Now got to wait another week to get “switched on”

  • battyberd Angela Rawlins (@battyberd) reported

    @bt_uk This is not acceptable Hello, BT here. Sorry about your fault. We aim to fix it by 23:59 on 28/04/2021. We'll be in touch with any updates, or to let you know it's fixed, so there's no need to call us. For more details and to find out how we're VOL053-8410458247793. Th

  • CharlyeMcmillan Charlye McMillan (@CharlyeMcmillan) reported

    @bt_uk I need this problem resolved today. Not "scheduled for tomorrow pending confirmation"; not "call us to book a new appointment"; not "we're sorry but @OpenreachHelp didn't confirm with us." After 5 days without, I need "An engineer is on their way to restore your service TODAY."

  • Touheyy Liam (@Touheyy) reported

    @bt_uk I’ll DM my number but about 16 colleagues have attempted help and got nowhere and just made things worse

  • stevegardner_ 𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚟𝚎 (@stevegardner_) reported

    @androidcentral I'm actually debating on getting an iPhone 11 when my contract is up for renewal this August. But I'm tempted to just stay with Pixel *if* my network provider gets newer Pixels *wink wink, nudge nudge* @bt_uk
