  • janesalmon Jane Salmon (@janesalmon) reported

    @Bon_marshay @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk Omg. More BT troubles! They've been an unbelievable distruption to my lessons too. Shocking service (though, after a month of dedicated moaning, my concerns have been heard)

  • Granty1984 Granty1984 (@Granty1984) reported

    @bt_uk How do I receive one of these new hubs. I am an existing customer and would really appreciate one. Just hope existing customers like myself don't have to wait till contract renewal before receiving one.

  • Baileyshambles Mark Bailey (@Baileyshambles) reported

    @bt_uk is anyone working in your customer service team today?? Sick and tired of waiting on hold trying to get an answer on my incorrect bill, calling as no one called me back Thursday with answer as promised :(

  • manuseb Seb S (@manuseb) reported

    Disappointed with @btsport @btsportfootball last night. Man Utds most comprehensive victory since 1995 and the focus was on VAR post match. Should have some respect for the footballers who created that record. Very poor.

  • connorpav1 Conor Pavitt (@connorpav1) reported

    @bt_uk hi there, I haven’t had working WiFi all morning. My postcode is DA10. What is the problem?

  • SoliSolistari Solistari in the Snow ❄️🌲 (@SoliSolistari) reported

    Just a fun anecdote to add @bt_uk...we've spoken to at least 4 people about this and have been cut off every time. I have now driven to a car park in the hope of actually getting to speak to someone who can fix this problem. Pls help.

  • wba_AndyM Exiled Baggie (@wba_AndyM) reported

    @bt_uk wirelessly, I have no trouble streaming to a laptop or phone so I dont believe its a wifi issue.

  • NicolaRule Nicola Rule (@NicolaRule) reported

    @btbusinesscare Perhaps your rep can call my mobile they have the number just replacing the mini hub today would solve some problems and allow me to work

  • johnnyfireblade John Day (@johnnyfireblade) reported

    @bt_uk We have a new hub coming, today, so will see if that solves things. Support told me that, if it doesn't, there's nothing more they can do. Not sure where that leaves me, having shelled out £200 for Complete Wi-fi discs, though.

  • cdaviesantiques C. Davies Antiques (@cdaviesantiques) reported

    @bt_uk can you please contact us, we are having tremendous problems and can’t get through on the phone

  • RachCatherine1 🌩 (@RachCatherine1) reported

    @bt_uk Dont bother.. I've contacted bt hundreds of times and just been messed about, even the engineer shocked how **** it is and couldn't fix it.. I get speed of 2mbps (if I'm lucky) and it's been like this all year, amazing thanks! Can't wait to switch & be able Skype friends again

  • coffeedollee Joanne Hawkin (@coffeedollee) reported

    Hi again @bt_uk - ‘no voice service on the hub’ - I’ve followed the advice online and it’s still not working - any ideas? I can’t call out, folk can’t call in.

  • mummyflump Gillian Kettle (@mummyflump) reported

    @bt_uk im still awaiting an engineer to fix my broad band 2as due this morning and there has been no contact

  • Chunk_the_Hat Nick Carroll (@Chunk_the_Hat) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @Liam_Houghton98 The problem isn't VAR it's the rules that they are enforcing. Great point made by @rioferdy5 on @btsport last night. That defenders will now be told to take the man out.

  • samtobo1 Sam Toboggan (@samtobo1) reported

    @bt_uk I registered as a broadband customer for the Xbox and everyone had got an email and access code but not me. How do I sort this? I have been a customer for years and they are in stock still. Thank you x

  • Chunk_the_Hat Nick Carroll (@Chunk_the_Hat) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @Cal_SFC The problem isn't VAR it's the rules that they are enforcing. Great point made by @rioferdy5 on @btsport last night. That defenders will now be told to take the man out. Have you considered thinking rather than letting your inner child tweet?

  • Bigbirdy79 Big Bird (@Bigbirdy79) reported

    @virginmedia Internet goes from over 200mbps to zero multiple times an hour. Tried calling @virginmedia to speak to someone and got cut off. I do not expect to have to reboot my hub every hour just to receive a service @bt_uk provided far better and reliably. Shocking service continues

  • chriswhite65 chris white (@chriswhite65) reported

    @btbusinesscare I have had a number of calls recently and today from people saying I phoned them when I didn't. It appears to be a cold call number that is using my phone number as a call back. Can you help? thanks

  • RobK41777792 Rob K (@RobK41777792) reported

    @bt_uk hey, any problems in Sutton? Internet has been cutting out all day and last night. Thanks

  • LeeWilkinson86 Lee Wilkinson (@LeeWilkinson86) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, my broadband has gone down.. I have a solid orange light on my router. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • DeGrooteMedia Alex (@DeGrooteMedia) reported

    @btsportfootball #BTSport customer service 🤢 Now taken 2 days to try to sort out a BTSport monthly pass error Phone ❌ Chat ❌ #Covid has broken customer service

  • Retro_uk Steve (@Retro_uk) reported

    @bt_uk Got a strange (potential minor security) issue. I mainly check my BT emails using Windows 10 email client. But every so often it stops syncing with BT and I have to re-input my password. But it only works if I use an old password that isn't actually my password anymore?

  • EJC_Murray Edward Murray (@EJC_Murray) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, received a bag to return your kit that wasn't expected, hoping to check what this is about as it says we may be charged if it's not back to you within 60 days, we don't know what it is. Thanks for any help.

  • mrdalesteel Dale Steel (@mrdalesteel) reported

  • Flyingkermit James Bolger (@Flyingkermit) reported

    @bt_uk hello, I understand I can claim a code to purchase a PS5 when they are available but I can’t find how on your website, can you help with this?

  • JonesiPelDroed Gareth Jones (@JonesiPelDroed) reported

    @MarcAllera @msmith850 @bt_uk How do you get this as an existing BT customer?

  • SophieGledhill Sophie Gledhill (@SophieGledhill) reported

    @Bon_marshay @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk As if online teaching wasn’t challenging enough already! Poor you.

  • RegtechB RegTech Compliance Bubble (@RegtechB) reported

    BTCare why does the contract renewal process never work online even though I’ve had an email about it? Also the deals on the email suck, why offer me landline call minutes when I never use the landline. #knowyourcustomer
