  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    A new development on the BT issue. Had a call following my Tweet from a person @bt_uk apologising for yesterday. Early termination fee waived, apology accepted and relationship restored. Both agreed that this wasn’t the way it should happen but impressed with the resolution.

  • baldymanali Alastair Smith (@baldymanali) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk just received email from you saying my email will be suspended if I don't login. I read emails on your new (and I might say, useless) ap every day. Have complained about it previously. Get it sorted

  • QlikStu Stuart Wannop (@QlikStu) reported from Walker Gate, England

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

  • PedroVOliveira Pedro Oliveira (@PedroVOliveira) reported

    @bt_uk So will the complaints team actually contact me about my complaint or they are going to pretend nothing happened after closing my complaint without even talking with me? @OmbudServices

  • Michelle_Young Michelle Young 💙 (@Michelle_Young) reported

    @bt_uk Currently our download rate is less than 2mbps - it’s so slow in our area that you no longer allow residents to take out contracts and you see that as solving the issue

  • SarahAxon6 Sarah Axon (@SarahAxon6) reported

    It's not the flaky connection or the courteous but ultimately unhelpful phone answerers that are the killer. It's the hope that gets me. The hope that this time THIS TIME they will actually fix the effin broadband @BTCare @bt_uk

  • David_cl5p David (@David_cl5p) reported

    @NakedScientists Inevitable that as more capacity was available (fibre etc) that Openreach would take on more provider customers (£££££). alas they were also cutting service engineers or losing techs/engs through adverse employment changes. So now its Quantity & £££ over Quality. #sigh @bt_uk

  • JaqckTTV Jack (@JaqckTTV) reported

    If I could make any suggestion for people in the UK it's simple - Always join Virgin Media - Never use BT @virginmedia @bt_uk

  • tachunter Jason (@tachunter) reported

    @bt_uk Why do you make it so difficult to cancel BT Sport online? I don't want it anymore but it won't give me an option to cancel it?

  • taylorh57226577 taylor hills (@taylorh57226577) reported

    @jordan98655429 @bt_uk Not the only one then, I’m trying to scroll through PH and it’s just not working and same when I’m trying to play cod aha

  • JamieNews81 Jamie Was Crazy (@JamieNews81) reported

    New contract needed with @skytv at the weekend. I know they're gonna try and shaft me with admin fees and a non-satisfactory deal as a decades long customer. @virginmedia and @bt_uk seriously gonna be on standby this time.

  • SarahAxon6 Sarah Axon (@SarahAxon6) reported

    BT person on the phone checked their service stats. Yes connection has been very bad since last week. Well don't you people monitor your service? Or just wait for the complaints hoping it will magically right itself? @BTCare

  • timmysoft Timmy Soft (@timmysoft) reported

    Hey @bt_uk I’ve had terrible internet, terrible customer service and now I actually have no broadband. I’ve reported you to the ombudsman for repeated failures, deception and repeatedly closing my unresolved case. I’m looking forward to my big refund and compensation
