    @bt_uk that this has been sorted. Just rang back a second time and after 1hr on hold the phone cut off. I am appalled at the disgusting service I have received having been a long term customer. I entered into a new contract with you I don’t expect bills for double the amount 2/3

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

    @BTCare I have received calls 2 days in a row claiming my PC has a malware issue. I have hung up on both calls, I am assuming this is a scam. This seems to be on the increase.

    @premierleague serious questions need to be asked about the ref and VAR. If Pickford had broken VVD leg? No action? Still accountable for his actions, the offside is irrelevant. #Peterwalton @btsport

    @Little_G2 @bt_uk @openreach They want to charge you £70k for upgrading your broadband? Sounds like you need a technology journalist to follow this up. That's an awful lot of money. Do you live on the moon?

  • Stevearsenal2k
    stevep (@Stevearsenal2k) reported from Hadley, England

    @bt_uk Hello there service checker says all fine but since Saturday my broadband has been dropping out a couple of times a day. I’ve done everything you’re supposed to and the problem still seems to be happening

    Chris Archer (@KartAttack22) reported

    @paulineb668LFC @bt_uk Agree with this, my console is 3m away max and its unplayable especially if someone else in the house is streaming on another device. I didn't seem to have this problem with TalkTalk at previous house

    Oliver Oram (@ONOUKSV) reported

    And it continues almost one hour on chat @bt_uk and you continue to go round in circles can I charge you for my time? would a letter/note by pigeon to Phillip Jansen help @bt_uk

  • Austenwmoore
    NLP (@Austenwmoore) reported

    @btbusinesscare I never received a call that was promised last night either. I really can't understand why I couldn't just have another engineer sent to replace the engineer that was sick. Why are BT making something so simple so complicated?

    @bt_uk worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Week 7, still no line working, 4 engineers, 3 credit checks and 30 false promises to get back in touch. But hey, your still charging me for this.
