    @BTCare we're having loads of problems with our broadband the connection is atrocious we've just paid to rent a film and now it won't play it is through BT is there anything can be done please, plus I need to make sure we are not charged.

  • 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.

  • DanielJenks89
    Daniel Jenks (@DanielJenks89) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk I have had issues with my broadband dropping in and out of my devices since that major outage happened on Thursday. I don’t know if anyone else has had those continuous problems during that time?

  • Hossy93
    Joseph Drane (@Hossy93) reported from Brandon, England

    @Gaz_House @btsport Or you could go down the night before. 😉

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

    @bt_uk Just upgraded to fibre 500, getting 120mbps on average. Slower than my previous BT package. Been told speed cannot be accurately measured into my hub. Still in cooling off period anything else I can try before I cancel it ?

    John McLackland (@RiskManager01) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @CCriadoPerez @McAfee_Help @bt_uk Although I have never encountered any virus/mail ware problem for any Mac, you should be able to delete MacAfee files from the Library and Preference Folder.

    @IamAustinHealey @Saracens @ChampionsCup @leinsterrugby @btsport Congrats Saracens - but some serious self evaluation needed by Leinster - not why we lost but reffing of offside and breakdown was a bad joke - really has to be addressed - laws already there - enforce them

  • PHoare1963
    Dr Peter Hoare ⌬ (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @BaseballBrit @btsport @MLB @Twitter To be fair @btsport are better than most other channels - usually two games a night on their ESPN channel. Too many Yankees and Red Sox games though and not enough @Rockies! @MLBTV just as bad - not equal coverage of all teams....🤔

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

    @bt_uk I will never use bt again.. i have just recieved a email saying 40% of the faults happen in the home and i will be charged £85 call out if this is the case.

  • JPaulGreen
    John Paul Green (@JPaulGreen) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @BTCare Line has dial tone but crackles and hub light orange. It's deja vu. Doesn't seem to happen as often as it did when engineers finally fixed line problem last year, but it's annoying that the crackle has returned and speeds have dipped etc

  • Raring2goNewcas
    Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk hello, hope you can help please? After a 95 minute phone call on Saturday your advisor assured me my problems would be solved by an engineer tomorrow. I’ve had no email or text to confirm this. Please advise.

    who ******** is that idiot commentator on #btsport @btsport she hasnt got a clue #NUFC

  • AdvancedIFA
    Advanced IFA Ltd (@AdvancedIFA) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btsport your service is terrible. Got billed £80 asked them to close account. Never watched it since pre lockdown 1 and today another £80 bill. Advised pay it or debt collectors will arrive then dispute it after payment. Very bad service. Still on hold 47mins to disconnect????

  • timlibrarian
    Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    @bt_uk Hi, no, it’s not a new build. Engineer visited before Christmas and was able to activate broadband but not phone service due to a fault in the junction box. Order number is VOL013-439847322595

  • PapaDodds
    Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Can you not just get an English person to call me direct to fix this please? I’ve been passed about for 6-7 weeks now.

  • SmarProcurement
    David Hall (@SmarProcurement) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    For me @btsport have taken the mantle from @talkSPORT for the worst cricket coverage. Matt Smith is a good football presenter but is clearly not a cricket follower and the commentary they are using from Fox is terrible. If @bbctms can send their to team to Australia why not BT?

    @bt_uk ...... Your wifi is shit

    @bt_uk please can you respond to my complaint ASAP #poorcustomerservice

  • master_debonair
    Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare I love the way you’ve got to speak to 5 people and none of them can give you a straight answer on when your connection will be live again. It’s like the secret service having BT as a business provider. Shocking service BT!

  • JPaulGreen
    John Paul Green (@JPaulGreen) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @BTCare ah we are back to lousy phone line and intermittent access to internet again. Still at least BT closed my complaint. Not happy.

    Alexandra O'Byrne (@AlexaOByrne) reported

    @bt_uk @stokeygurl I’ve not been able to get into my online account for weeks due to a fault caused when BT upgraded their system a few weeks ago. No account access for weeks, BT cannot help and hence I’m now taking my landline, broadband and mobile contracts elsewhere! Loyal customer since 1993!

  • BrownEyedGirlGB
    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @bt_uk you then went onto confirm to refuse to cancel the Digital Voice appointment even though your records show the telecare equipment hasn’t been upgraded yet and that the notes say I’ll be in touch when it is. Rep went on to say we might be left without a line, like a threat

  • Johnty14
    John Richards (@Johnty14) reported

    @bt_uk Please send me the details of how to make a formal complaint and the information to which ombudsman should be also informed.

  • nemurikyosirou
    Kenta (@nemurikyosirou) reported

    @bt_uk Hi @bt_uk , I have already called 0330 1234 150, but the agent refused to resolve the issue and insisted on the payment. I will NOT call again to be ignored. I have proof of cancellation and equipment return.

    @bt_uk And by the way you're obviously using a bot to reply. So obvious by the language. What real person says You must feel let down for sure

  • KflanaganKevin
    Kevin Flanagan (@KflanaganKevin) reported

    Now May 5th still no connection !! Despite endless calls and attempts to get help !’ @bt_uk cut off again transferred then told no information on their screen , started details again now cut off again as lines close at 6pm this is a business account !!! We don’t close at 6 !!

  • e4290936
    jack250213 (@e4290936) reported

    @bt_uk calling itself 'customer centric ' grates with me after an internal transfer of my broadband went horribly wrong, then four hard searches on my creditworthiness and three attempts to get BT broadband and a TV package also successfully completed by phone after a time on the phone that I regret all fell through with no explanation or apology. Customer centric? You are having a laugh BT!

  • JulieNobbs
    🤓 Julie 🤓 (@JulieNobbs) reported

    @bt_uk Help! We’ve had a lightening strike n our router has gone off n will not switch back on. We’ve rang the help line 3 times n it keeps finishing the call without giving us the option to speak to someone even though their check assumes there’s nothing wrong. Advice please!

  • Lashes_N_Ink
    Amy Lou (@Lashes_N_Ink) reported

    @bt_uk why do your representatives feel it is ok to hang up on elderly customers? I’ve been helping my nan with internet, told 2 different stories, didn’t show up on installation date, then told can’t do it because of careline, £95 offer revoked. Disgusting behaviour!

  • FayeLcarter
    Faye Carter (@FayeLcarter) reported

    @bt_uk I have been passed around for 2 hours between different teams to get a new hub. I get a different answer every time. I have a message from the first one saying a new hub will be sent he just needs to put me through to the tech team. Please can someone HELP
