    Pete Shaw (@Fireypop) reported from Garston, England

    @bt_uk I’ve been through this with your support Dept but they just say you are getting the 13M/bs (yes that was 13M/bs in 2020) we promised. Ultimately this doesn’t help with the issue we have which is if someone is watching a video the rest of the family can’t use it.

    @richardosman I’ve had the free BTsport APP on my EE Ipad but it’s never worked & ive spend hours on the phone to support & gave up ages ago!

    Liz (@LizWoodbridge) reported from Chester, England

    @bt_uk It was a second no show from the home tech expert to assess my elderly Mum’s needs. We’ve given up…I took Friday off to be there and no show today either. Disappointing service, I’m afraid.

  • gaz_lister
    Gary Lister (@gaz_lister) reported from Moulton, England

    @bt_uk dreadful experience switching to BT Full Fibre. Couldnt fit as promised and despite being assured my existing service with SKY would continue, its gone and I'm without Internet for the foreseeable 😡😡

  • ThomRawlinson
    Thom Rawlinson (@ThomRawlinson) reported from Kirkby, England

    Never quite understand commentators making excuses for players diving saying the team needs the point. It’s cheating 🙄 #SHUEVE #BTsport

  • gaz_lister
    Gary Lister (@gaz_lister) reported from Moulton, England

    @bt_uk I did contact SKY but they advised you would tell them the service was delayed. My wife and I are key workers working from home., set up WiFi hotspot but its draining data. Doesnt help the kids who are unable to use ps4, ipad etc when in lockdown. I have raised complaint on MYBT

  • jvblueboy
    John Vanderwerff+ (@jvblueboy) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @bt_uk wouldn't give me their special offer open to new broadband customers. Loyalty counts for nothing. So am off to @VodafoneUK to take them up on their discounted offer. When will these companies ever learn to treat all customers the same?

  • StetheH
    Ste the H ⚽️🥊 (@StetheH) reported from Liverpool, England

    @bt_uk It has not resolved for months after promises recorded on tape your side ian. Once my contract is up i will never use bt again over this. I will seek help elsewhere. Nothing personal towards you pal. Just your company and lies aswell as making me now miss payments elsewhere. Ste

    @EE @btsport Nope as still can’t access my sons EE account online or on app! How long does it take to fix a fix ??

  • RickVNasties
    Rick Owen (@RickVNasties) reported from Liverpool, England

    @bt_uk I had an appointment booked to have my internet installed today between 8-1. No communication to say the engineer was going to be late and I can’t get through on the number provided. Is anyone there to help?!

  • Miss_Boxy
    Rebecca 💙 (@Miss_Boxy) reported from Chester, England

    @bt_uk we’ve been without internet for the past month due to port damage/ network outage. Despite numerous escalation calls via Sky, we are still waiting for a specialist engineer to sort the issue and no further updates. Can this be flagged ASAP?

  • chriscol6765
    Chris (@chriscol6765) reported from Garston, England

    @bt_uk bloody joke this company. You say you can cancel a package and go back to what I had. Now your saying you can't do it!!!!!!

  • amijesuspablo
    Jesus Pablo (@amijesuspablo) reported from Liverpool, England

    @bt_uk This is poor customer service. I’ve provided the address etc. in a DM for fault and you’re just replying to the timeline. Or tell me if there is an issue in the area of L15 (Liverpool) if you can’t be bothered to read my DM.

  • tweetJumpy
    W (@tweetJumpy) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @Realaldo474 @Carra23 @btsport The reason that Liverpool’s away form doesn’t look as good is purely down to match fixing at Everton where a perfect goal was deliberately ruled off side and a penalty at Brighton which never was.

    @BTCare hi, are you aware of internet issues in CW8 area? Our whole estate is down after last nights storm but status tracker says everything is OK

    @F1 Exclusive is the problem. A hub of motorsports fans in the UK are screed by this. F1: Sky MotoGP: BTSport WEC: TNT Naturally, two have to go. This gets more of a joke every time.

  • brian_mcbride1
    Brian McBride (@brian_mcbride1) reported

    @bt_uk Today I have with the help of Abdi in BT Stockport, finally resolved the issue. Took a little time but was aware of the known problem and should be recognised for her determination in getting sorted. Allison Kirby take note & dont hack loyal long standing customers off.

  • stepho2k1

    @bt_uk why is your sales team pushing an elderly person with parkinsons to sign up for a new service. I will be calling tonight to sort this. Not happy

  • Jacsplace3
    Jac Dee 🇺🇦 (@Jacsplace3) reported

    Dear @bt_uk We switched to @EE home broadband 2 months ago and it's been awful since. We're now paying for two bills. Customer service think we switched in September 2025 - incorrect. Today we have no broadband Goodness sake the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

    BT / Open Reach Worst service ever! Internet service 3rd world Service appalling!! Make appointments to upgrade to full fibre & cancel without any reason or notification! No service at all!! Is there an alternative?? @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach

    @bt_uk are a waste of human breath, and are Olympic standard liars. It's now the Communications Ombudsman, your service is an utter shambles.

  • e4290936
    jack250213 (@e4290936) reported

    @bt_uk After some investigation I posit this as a reason for constant delays in my broadband applications. 'If your automated systems are secretly scanning my IP address without my consent and blocking my service because I use a secure dedicated IP, that is a fault in YOUR system, not mine. I provided my real, verifiable details. Ask me—don't secretly track me'

    Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported

    @brian_mcbride1 @bt_uk That's similar experience to my 90 year old mother's complaint about digital switchover and contract renewal. Sent a complaint letter to BT plc, PO Box 334, Sheffield, S98 1BT and received a text a couple of weeks later saying the complaint had been closed but with no resolution.

    @bt_uk We’ve done this. But they don’t help. You guys give no help whatsoever. You are genuinely useless. How can you not provide an update based on postcode?

    @bt_uk @NRManc they’ve messed up everyone’s account - it be worried they are taking money from old customers so check your bank - they aren’t acknowledging the issue
