    @bt_uk do you actually help customers or just pay ‘lip service’ to them ? Upgraded to a more reliable service in May - since then a nightmare !! 20+ calls to you , many promises of callbacks never received - account closed but broadband still working - customer service NIL 😡

  • tonyknowles36 Tony Knowles (@tonyknowles36) reported from Blackburn, England

    @jimwilkz @btsport Worst part of it is Glenn McGrath attempting to be nice and gracious when talking about England. Jeez, he was the biggest 'Pommie' basher of them all!

  • Ditsy_Soph Sophie Townend (@Ditsy_Soph) reported from Brierfield, England

    @bt_uk hi, im getting in contact because our area still doesnt have any internet or home phone. Im a student and household are needing to work from home- is there an estimate of when it'll be wprking again? Been down since Thursday.

  • dohpods DAYS OF HORROR PODCAST ⸸ (@dohpods) reported from Haslingden, England

    Anyone else having issues with #btsport tonight? Watching the United game and it keeps crashing with error code vc011 😡 My internet connection is not the issue here!!

  • CintyC Jacinta Costello (@CintyC) reported from Todmorden, England

    @bt_uk I’ve had intermittent broadband for 2 days now; what’s happening in my area? please help because I’ll need it Tuesday for work

  • joguy1967 jomufc4ever 💙 (@joguy1967) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    How quickly can any other #internet providers get me on line - #sky #virgin ? Not @bt_uk and I’ll tell you why after 😡😡😡 back to my MP @JamesDalyMP for the second day for help !

  • TruckSM24 Graham Burton (@TruckSM24) reported from Blackburn, England

    @bt_uk a communication company that doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Disgraceful service.

  • samihowarth sami (@samihowarth) reported from Brinscall, England

    @bt_uk Not very helpful as that’s for broadband and phone line. I have no signal on my mobile phone?

  • Pear_shaped30 Tracy Harvey (@Pear_shaped30) reported from Clitheroe, England

    Worth checking your parents utility bills, just checked my MILs and absolutely disgusted that @bt_uk have started charging her £20+ more a month for nothing extra! 😡 and would cost her £622 to cancel her contract #beware #disgusting

  • JoshBancroftUK Josh Bancroft 🎙📻 (@JoshBancroftUK) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    I've asked both @bt_uk and @EE to solve some problems over the last couple of weeks. Both have failed, both seem to have forgotten after promising to get back to me. With so much competition this really shouldn't happen anymore.

  • Woodlin37 Karl Watson (@Woodlin37) reported from Chorley, England

    If I hear the commentators say Atlanta for ATALANTA one more time I'm going to lose my ****!!!! @btsport #AtalantaPSG #Atalanta #PSG

  • theboytemps Andrew (@theboytemps) reported from Turton, England

    @bt_uk We did get through eventually, after well over an hour. I appreciate you are busy, but for the handler not to tell us after having waited 45 minutes to speak to him that he was transferring us to another queue & putting us on hold for another half hour was really poor service.

  • no1AlFielding AlFi (@no1AlFielding) reported from Haslingden, England

    I’ve been growing into @btsport #ashes coverage thus far. Just improved ten fold now the satellite has gone down 👊

  • Mb27p_EU Matty (@Mb27p_EU) reported from Burnley, England

    Anyone else having problems with wired internet with @bt_uk recently? 5/6 times it’s stopped my download today, loss connection twice on Monday, it’s never been this bad?

  • RyanMarkOConnor Ryan O'Connor (@RyanMarkOConnor) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Could it possibly happen today that @bt_uk finally manage to install our broadband, we've only been in the house a month... Never used so much mobile data #waiting

  • richardayris Richard Ayris (@richardayris) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Altbough i wish @SkyFootball or @btsport also push for this but they are part of the problem for bot putting pressure on them as journalists and just push billions of pounds to the #PremierLeague pockets #premierleagueiscorrupt #epliscorrupt

  • sgx12 Stuart Graham (@sgx12) reported from Longridge, England

    @bt_uk hi, is there an issue accessing subscription internet channels on BT TV. I have VIP package on 2 MyView boxes, both are showing status as connected to internet, however I cannot access any subscription channels (I.e. Now TV, BT Sports) on either box. Help?

  • matthornby MattH (@matthornby) reported from Blackburn, England

    @bt_uk who do we contact to sort out the phone line at my Grandma's house, a building site next to hers has brought the wire down. She has been off since last Wednesday, had 2 engineers here and still hasn't been reconnected!! Also told to cancel her holiday

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • wilw6 William (@wilw6) reported

    @bt_uk There was neither a delivery nor notification about lack of same, nor any notification that the visit was cancelled. Very poor customer service, & I'm not inclined to reorder only to be treated in a similar fashion next time I'm afraid.

  • fifthfahy Fahy5 🇺🇦 (@fifthfahy) reported

    @bt_uk I may not understand the fix. What I do understand is customer relations. You seem not to. Is this a corporate culture thing? Don't admit mistakes?

  • wilw6 William (@wilw6) reported

    @bt_uk I could understand if the appointment had to be rescheduled through lack of equipment and/or staff, but to simply cancel it and not bother notifying me is not on.

  • marcusmark2019 mark coyle (@marcusmark2019) reported

    @bt_uk oh dont worry iv raised a complaint ..but still will be looking for a alternative supplier due to the fact that you used to offer it for free with broadband....

  • ShaunFromKent Shaun Rendall (@ShaunFromKent) reported

    @bt_uk Any chance of BT resolving the Broadband outage in the ME12 area? Was told it would be fixed by 15:30 hours on 04/12/22. Now you’re not giving an estimate.

  • TFerTrog Tracy (@TFerTrog) reported

    @CharlesDagnall @btsport this is stupid actually. Why are you showing American college basketball in England when you could be showing our national women's cricket team?

  • cricketgaluk cricketing gal (@cricketgaluk) reported

    @WomensCricBlog Not according to bt sport dunkleys still batting and her score keeps going up and down @ECB_cricket did you sanction btsport to cover this. What a mess

  • NorthernJam Mark (@NorthernJam) reported

    @bt_uk howay what’s going on with the poor service last 24 hours? Paying top Wack for this rubbish DH3 1

  • zhaan5 carol rawlings 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@zhaan5) reported

    @Cricketchar WTF! Who are these commentators? And why is the scorecard out of date? Come on @BTSport, I’m paying to watch this. You wouldn’t do this to the men’s team!

  • ricardoyorks Richard Anderson (@ricardoyorks) reported

    @btsport hi, the coverage of the England West Indies game tonight is absolutely terrible, is it going to be this bad all series?
