    @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 ?

  • Sandancer60 Dave Miller #ButcherXiJinping #BBCFakeNews (@Sandancer60) reported from South Shields, England

    @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.

  • 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?

  • lornafaym lornafay (@lornafaym) reported from Seaham, England

    Absolutely shocking customer service from @bt_uk this morning. Glad I was already calling to cancel but being ranted at, demanded to re-consider and called crazy just put the nail in the coffin.

  • timhardinguk Tim Harding (@timhardinguk) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk The most inept company in the UK, call yourselves a communications company ! you couldn’t connect dots on a dot to dot child sheet let alone connect a new build property, customer for over 29 years! useless

  • Geordie_Shaun shaun (@Geordie_Shaun) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk @thewestwell You've got a big issue here, guys. £75 also taken from my account this morning. You're draining people's accounts, and you won't be able to return the money for days.

  • billisdeadatATK drew wingate (@billisdeadatATK) reported

    @bt_uk " we are very busy at the moment" I have had the misfortune to need to call you 4x over the past fortnight and no matter what time or what day the same message and at least 20 min hold. Suggests you don't have enough staff. 2 wks for engineer is not acceptable service

  • ken_coello KC (@ken_coello) reported

    @bt_uk After a sustained period of terrible broadband which you eventually repaired and compensated us for our broadband is playing up again. Hard to believe

  • chwebb1994 Charlie webb (@chwebb1994) reported

    @RossiterTHFC @btsport I spoke to @btsport this morning the first time round they didn’t help at all then 2 more payments came out and then decide to help and was told that it was happening to other people. Was told should have money back in next 5 working days

  • Amanda_Chappo Amanda Chapman (@Amanda_Chappo) reported

    @btsport Disgusting taken 5 payments so far this morning instead if 1. Chat not working phone gets cut off if you can't get through. Get it sorted or u can pay my overdraft charges. @BBCNews @SkySportsNews

    @bt_uk cityfibre have ripped out BT cabling in #CHELTENHAM in error and now 6 houses have been without internet or telephone access for 75 hours - called to speak to BT and was told unless it was a trip hazard could not help me @CityFibre please advise

  • Stefanalgar Stefan Algar (@Stefanalgar) reported

    @bt_uk yesterday I spoke to someone to upgrade my mothers broadband ( 45 mins on the phone) and today I see the idiot has done mine…! Who do I complain to?

  • char48901565 char (@char48901565) reported

    @bt_uk @CWriggers The issues are that you’re taking money every hour from everyone’s bank accounts!!

  • SJConway91 Siobhan Conway (@SJConway91) reported

    To check a broadband issue on @bt_uk you have to go online. If you then report that your broadband is down they send you online resources, including a YouTube video. Not sure how this works for people with limited access to data

  • claireleexx Claire Lee (@claireleexx) reported

    @thewestwell @btsport Same here! I think it must be an issue their side! Currently waiting to speak to someone
