    @MSANNCOOPER @jojojoheeley @bt_uk Ring #BBCFakeNews. Im sure they'll be able to help you out. Don't waste your time ringing. Don't pay the bill if you don't owe it. Let them take you to Court: they'll lose.

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Yes. The coverage here in Stanley is shocking. Time after time I have to connect to home or McDonald's or O2 hot spot to get Internet when out in Town. Even occasionally got no signal at all.

  • kphilchris Karen Brown (@kphilchris) reported from Ouston, England

    @BTCare I have an ongoing issue with my broadband I've been in touch a few times now, I've done as instructed & have plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop. I'm trying to watch a programme through the BT box on i player and it is just buffering all the time this can't be right

  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Do you think you could address the problem of your BTtv EPG in relation to entries by @DiscoveryUK. Entries misleading in time, length of prog, capital letters, no synopsis and unable to "record the series". Do you care?

  • liamlcg MrGrumpy.....Y.N.W.A (@liamlcg) reported from Murton, England

    @bt_uk As ive said i will never have anything to do with bt again

  • mattelll Matt Elliott (@mattelll) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam very disappointing. BT Sport App still not working. Tried everything. @btsport say it isn't their issue and Now say it isn't theirs. Going to miss the Europa final and possibly Champions League on Saturday.

  • FPL_Dabby FPL DABBY (@FPL_Dabby) reported

    Quick PSA. On my Playstation's @btsport app, the EL final stream was over 3 min behind. Changed to Youtube app where it is being showed for free it's much better. Just incase anyone is having the same issue #MUFC #EuropaLeagueFinal

  • DavidRigby1990 David Rigby (@DavidRigby1990) reported

    I'm so looking forward to Unai Emery saying "bad ebening" after Man Utd win. #btsport #uefaeuropaleague #ManchesterUnited

  • JackFrancis 🏴‍☠️JF 1️⃣🇩🇲 (@JackFrancis) reported

    Not Ian Darke doubling down on saying Foyth injured his ankle when he’s bleeding from his face after a knee to the head... #EuropaLeagueFinal #VILMUN #btsport

  • United_Rules Man_United (@United_Rules) reported

    @AshSteHol @btsport @btsportfootball I don’t right now but can cast it on to tv with Chromecast. Problem is coverage will probably be a minute behind.

  • tombender01 Tom Bender (@tombender01) reported

    Oi @bt_uk why is your internet so ****?

  • markyp11 Mark Paton (@markyp11) reported

    Robbie Savage is the worst commentator ever, he drains the living daylight out of a game. Not only do I have to turn it down and listen to the radio I have to sit here knowing I’m paying towards his wages. @btsport @btsportfootball #VILMUN

  • misakimi82 misakimi82 (@misakimi82) reported

    @bt_uk No Eamon. I'm done with BT. You hadn't even dealt with my actual formal complaints according to your own complaints process. I just want the public to know how much your organisation needs to improve. It's quite awful right now.
