  • RussellR13 Russell (@RussellR13) reported

    Might be nice if @bt_uk would do something about fixing my dead line and poor connection. Apparently they are 'Working on fixing the problem' but I've seen and heard no evidence of that and had no updates for two days.

  • andyday414 Andy (@andyday414) reported

    @btsport pretty poor picture for Leicester v Sale. Is there a problem? #GallagherPrem

  • CaveDhurch Dave Church (@CaveDhurch) reported

    @bt_uk my internet is cutting out constantly and has been for the last few days. How do I fix this as its very frustrating!!!

  • mel4nie80 Mel (@mel4nie80) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Paula, According to the team you referred me to it is a BT wifi streaming issue and not a box office app issue. Where do I go from here?

  • albrummer Alex Brummer (@albrummer) reported

    @bt_uk Don't customer care appalling!

  • daggsy1878 darryl Challice (@daggsy1878) reported

    @btsport I’ve recently signed up to by sport again on my phone through the app, I’m trying to get it connected so I can watch it on by sport Chanel on my sky, I’ve rang customer service and I’ve been on hold for 45 mins, terrible form, maybe you can help ?

  • Famousfor15mins Famousfor15mins🏆 (@Famousfor15mins) reported

    @bt_uk absolutely abysmal ‘customer’ service 4 engineer visits, trying to do work that was never requested in the 1st place, call operators who lie and deliberately cut off calls. Can you please advise how I can re-raise a formal complaint and which ADR scheme you are part of?

  • Springbeautyr Spring Beauty Room (@Springbeautyr) reported

    @btbusinesscare Except customer care can’t help - I have attempted this route twice and raised a compliant to have it closed with no resolution.

  • TrevalganFarm TrevalganHolidayFarm (@TrevalganFarm) reported

    @btbusinesscare Would not advise anyone to use BT, no customer care and they change their tariff to suit them even in a so called contract!! #useless #noidea #customercareless

  • daggsy1878 darryl Challice (@daggsy1878) reported

    @btsport any danger of a reply ?? The women who finally answered was very sarcastic about the amount of time I had to wait for her to answer the call, she then decided to fob me off to bt box office, where it is not there department so was unable to help me.

  • robmorleyuk Robert Morley (@robmorleyuk) reported

    @bt_uk WiFi and streaming are different issues. With so many households limited to a peak 3mbs broadband this is false representation. Knowingly misleading advertising.

  • tony_dyson_ Tony Dyson (@tony_dyson_) reported

    @bt_uk why is it impossible to report a line fault online? Why does your automated fault report (text) not work and why, when I’ve sat on my mobile for 36m does it hang up when I eventually get through. Useless

  • Phoenixfrr Phoenix (@Phoenixfrr) reported

    @btsport BTSport 3 not working on website....

  • EllyCornforthx Elly Cornforth (@EllyCornforthx) reported

    @bt_uk Hi - this fault was fixed for approx 4 hours and now the hub is flashing purple again so I assume the fix didn't take. Please can you provide an update?

  • billypleased DJ Billy Morris (@billypleased) reported from Dundee, Scotland

    @bt_uk My BT connection is pretty poor, but whenever I call to complain all I get is "if we come up and don't find a fault on our side we will have to charge you." Nice.

  • tb183 Tom Box (@tb183) reported

    @bt_uk Internet has been appalling the past few weeks. Internet regularly drops out and now the connection is painfully slow. Really not good timing with working from home!

  • GarethAVL Gareth 🏴 (@GarethAVL) reported

  • Mrixelles Mr Ixelles (@Mrixelles) reported

    @bt_uk My service doesn't even meet the minimum contracted spec, you're service is pathetic, glad I can cancel soon!

  • kevmels kev* (@kevmels) reported

    @bt_uk Your WiFi is crap

  • Famousfor15mins Famousfor15mins🏆 (@Famousfor15mins) reported

    @UKLOVESNKOTB @bt_uk Yes, answer 100% then transfer you to the ‘correct department’ and then cut off the call deliberately. So unprofessional also someone I spoke to made out they couldn’t help because I was not their customer 😡

  • pablobates68 Batesy (@pablobates68) reported

    @bt_uk Ok, so more money probably? I'll tell him to be patient +will go with another provider when my contract is up because I upgraded to Halo on the promise by BT that I would get a better service for gaming...obviously not so...thanks anyway. Its too dear now, so I'm not paying more

  • drurylaine Paeon Mache (@drurylaine) reported

    @bt_uk Are all landlines in Kinross-shire down? No phones are working since this morning, some elderly folk don’t have mobiles and of course are isolated. Can you tell me what’s happening please?

  • JamiePieBitches Pie (@JamiePieBitches) reported

  • missy_manic missy_manic (@missy_manic) reported

    @bt_uk No phone line all day for 97 year old. Her 'lifeline' care call system not working as a result. We're told there's a mass outage/fault but no further info. This is urgent! Location: Scunthorpe. Please advise!

    @Sportalot1 @btsport Same problem for me

  • IanMacD65892107 Ian MacDonald (@IanMacD65892107) reported

    @bt_uk Don't have complete WiFi, whatever that is, but I can barely use iplayer in my dining room, which is diagonally opposite the router location, as it keeps losing connection. And I refuse to pay to buy booster connections for a service I feel I am already paying for every month.
