    Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The light doesn't seem to change colour - yes the service is dropping out - I feel that there is either a degradation of pair quality or faulty termination equipment in the cabinet or exchange - there is definitely an issue.

  • MrsP1001
    MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Extremely dissatisfied. I've just moved, trying to get landline and broadband at my new house - promised for Monday 2nd, got landline on Friday 6th but still no broadband. Lots of excuses, might possibly be sorted on Thursday 12th. Very poor service.

  • MrsP1001
    MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk As I have tried to explain, an update on a possible new start date 10 days after the promised start date really isn't the level of service I expect from BT.

    @SFC_Kristian @btsport @mrjakehumphrey He mate. He literally sounds gutted about the goals! Biased as ****

    @mrjakehumphrey @themichaelowen @Robbie9Fowler @LFC @LivEchoLFC @TheRedmenTV @TheAnfieldWrap @AnfieldHQ @btsport @ChampionsLeague Not bad when McManaman amassed about 11 of them

  • graeme_i_wilson
    Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @bt_uk hello, I've had an ongoing broadband instability issue for around 6 months - frequently when I'm using IP voice applications the service is disrupted - I've tried to raise a fault on this a number of times - help!!

  • Sturrock85
    Andrew Sturrock (@Sturrock85) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    I presume the awful @btsport stream on @YouTube is a ploy to get people to subscribe. It's awful, despite what is usually a good connection.

  • John_P_Turner
    John Turner (@John_P_Turner) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Queried business bills, however, billing team are unwilling to discuss/explain the issues raised. Service has now been suspended and billing team refusing to engage without payment being made. This is nothing short of blackmail! @MoneyTelegraph @TimesBusiness

    Tamara Watts (@timtamw88) reported from Blyth, England

    @bt_uk are the most incompetent company. I’m only a month into my contract and I want to cancel already. Terrible customer service, they just pass you to another dept and then your back to the start. I’ve never rang a company so much to get something sorted. #terrible

  • joshybanyard
    Josh Banyard (@joshybanyard) reported from Longbenton, England

    As lovely as it is for @btsport too show the #ChampionsLeagueFinal for free but the stream is awful...

  • graeme_i_wilson
    Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk I moved house in the last year - previously I had sky DSL - copper only and enjoyed better service - this shouldn't be the case. I have another property with VM Docsis service - again a better service - but your core network was built on low cost - 21CN - poor product choices.

    @themichaelowen talking utter fkn shit!!! On @btsport on the other hand @mrjakehumphrey talks total sense! #nufc #newcastle #toon

    @bluther123 @neilben10112319 i am only watching the game, no highlights, no build up, no half time banter! @btsport have the worst football pundits in football history! #liverpoolvsTottenham #TOTLIV

  • graeme_i_wilson
    Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The automated 'check my line' service isn't finding the fault.

    @rioferdy5 is a patronising prick “have to have played the game” it’s only bellends who’s argument has been lost who state shit like that, absolute ******* of a man #btsport #THFCVCITY

  • TVBCJonpaul
    Jonpaul Heron (@TVBCJonpaul) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Working fine all day, week and month. Now watching #ChampionsLeagueFinal2019 on @btsport on YouTube and it’s now poor. Very interesting.

  • xToonsend
    Dominic Townsend (@xToonsend) reported from Washington, England

    The only negative thing about watching this cracking Toon win is having to listen to that **** Michael Owen chat shit after it #NUFC #btsport

  • mulcs85
    John Mulcahy (@mulcs85) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • JohnRobson18
    John Robson (@JohnRobson18) reported from Wallsend, England

    I predict spurs to lose 5 -0 they are awful. @btsport

    Doomed4life (@Doomed4life2) reported

    @bt_uk I find it amazing that you are now advertising a product, bt halo EE hub, that suggests your service is unreliable. I’m having to go without broadband for over a month through no fault of my own (road needing to be dug up by open reach) but the only solution you can offer me is

  • AXIS_VID

    Layla Lavender (@lavender_layla) reported

    Omfg @bt_uk wifi is just ridiculous. Almost two years of problems now. Constantly drops out. Infuriating!!! At what point are you not fulfilling your contract??!! What am I actually paying for??!!

  • bagpussinspace
    Nicola Baker (@bagpussinspace) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. I'll hang on a couple more days to see if the returns bag arrives. If it doesn't, are you able to send a free post return label via email? I could package the items myself.

  • lee_evo1
    Ell Emm (@lee_evo1) reported

    @SkyUK have absolutely emptied my bank account and left me with exactly £4 odd till after new year, I guess I better get used to having no electric. Which is funny because I'll have paid for a service I can't use. @EE @bt_uk do you have any offers on? We're not staying with sky

  • HillsonKurt
    Kurt Hillson (@HillsonKurt) reported

    @bt_uk how long is it supposed to take for the FAULT helpline to get back to you? Had the full day with zero internet, hub won’t stop flashing purple and I’ve had zero response or help back? Can’t reach guaranteed speeds and now can’t get any internet at all

  • UpperTierSteve

    @bt_uk Ah, the ever "hopeful" customer services.

    @bt_uk @EE I’ve made an order for the new unbreakable broadband I was wondering before my BT broadband is activated can I use the EE backup network as my temporary Wi-Fi until my activation date?

    @bt_uk are useless. My internet always plays up in the freezing weather and the earliest an engineer can come out is 22 December. Disgusting service.
