  • 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?

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

    Technology… why does it fail when you want to watch live sport? #itv has vanished from our telly. 🙄 good job we’ve got a back up tv with old fashioned aerial. I see we didn’t miss much when trying to retune… #POLENG @bt_uk full package fail again…

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    Still got sync problems on @btsport on my #firestick @ee. Not a happy bunny. Pay for this aswell .

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk the worst service in the UK. I’m still getting bills for a service I stopped in January. Absolutely shambolic. I stopped being a customer 3 months ago yet here I am on hold to BT. What a joke.

  • charming_man_ Tory 1 (@charming_man_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk can we have an update on the outage Middlesbrough TS5

  • wilko1999 Angela Wilkinson🍃💚🍃 (@wilko1999) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk It was not a missed appointment it was a total failure of communication. Someone could have contacted me so I could have stayed at work. Now I have an unreliable service over a Bank Holiday weekend and another planned appt for next Wednesday.

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

    Anyone got a @btsport LOGIN I can borrow for the #nufc match? 🙏🏼 #shybairnsgetnowt

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @bt_uk I’m still down on all platforms (apart from my iPhone which I don’t log out of)

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk I can’t wait for next month when I get another bill for a service I cancelled in January

  • 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.

  • andyb7274 Andy Brown (@andyb7274) reported from Bedlington, England

    @MarkMowbrayNE @redvanman12 @bt_uk Its what they're told to do (been there, done it) or were at the time. Probably changed now, but blame process not the poor agent on crap money 🙃

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    Not only is the @bt_uk wifi poor on my smart hub 2 but the lack of channels available is terrible. BT need to sort this out and expand the available WiFi channel choice to prevent neighbours clashing

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Week 7, still no line working, 4 engineers, 3 credit checks and 30 false promises to get back in touch. But hey, your still charging me for this.

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @bt_uk It’s down on all platforms I’m trying to log into except my iPhone which I don’t log out of…

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @btbusinesscare I moved house in December, you failed to move my Internet so spectacularly that mid January I cancelled the non existing internet. I’ve been sent bills in February & March that I’ve had to phone about. Im just trying to warn other people how bad your service is.

  • KRISKROS5 Kris Kross (@KRISKROS5) reported from Blyth, England

    BT commentator- “ you have to get it on target or you will not trouble the keeper or make him make a mistake” fantastic awareness.... #newcry #btsport #NUFC

  • ChaneyMichael Michael Chaney (@ChaneyMichael) reported from Dunston, England

    @gateshead who do you report vandalism of a phone box to, is it council or @bt_uk can you help? As it is a BT phone box.

  • Markberry89 Mark Berry (@Markberry89) reported from Guide Post, England

    @bt_uk internet is the absolute WORST of them all!!!

  • andrew14ad Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • jonnylonglegs1 Jon (@jonnylonglegs1) reported

    @bt_uk Great, another 30minutes out of my working day, I must have spent well over 3 hours phoning your company in the last week. I pay a premium price, expecting a premium service. I think I’ll go to the lower priced end of the market next time, it can’t be any worse than this.

  • EnRouteIT EnRoute (@EnRouteIT) reported

    @Kirjamo @bt_uk My business broadband has been down for over a week now, and BT keeps giving me a different answer every day, spent over hours each time on call, there is no one to give you a proper explanation why? Asked for the manager, but they will respond in 4 days. I'm switching.

  • CharlieRWalker Charlie (@CharlieRWalker) reported

    @bt_uk It doesnt really help me with blocking the domains?

  • PrincessE150318 Just Elizabeth (@PrincessE150318) reported

    The fact that @bt_uk are planning to paint over the Leeds @Burleybanksy art work (not offensive or rude) on their bt boxes is ridiculous, while @VirginMediaCorp has seen no problem with this...can someone explain?

  • cjforms Caroline Jarrett (@cjforms) reported

    It's today's episode of "Is this AI feasible?", I've just registered a complaint with @bt_uk. An alarming email told me service will be cancelled in 48hrs. Turns out their robotic process automation is sending incorrect warnings. Feasible AI?: Nope. Waste of time.

  • jonnylonglegs1 Jon (@jonnylonglegs1) reported

    Yet another failed promise from our internet service provider (service to be used in the lowest sense of the word). It’s now a full week without a connection to the outside world, despite 4 promises of ‘it’ll be back on at midnight’ @bt_uk your a shambles, absolute shambles!

  • EnRouteIT EnRoute (@EnRouteIT) reported

    @bt_uk My Business broadband has been down for over a week now, every day I call I get told the engineer will be fixing this today, still waiting since 19th without any further explanation.

  • CoreblimeyVic victor martinez (@CoreblimeyVic) reported from Esher, England

    @bt_uk how about Customer service, left without broadband for over a month after engineer cancelled at the last minute, given next appointment in 3.5 weeks. In 4G blackspot , can’t even use phone as hotspot. Less jumping on bandwagons, more in service.

  • PolyAnn68661755 Percy Puppet (@PolyAnn68661755) reported

    @RichardBurgon @bt_uk @BTSopenreach It's unsightly crap.

  • AnsariBill Hasbilla ➐ (@AnsariBill) reported

    @btsport @Tyson_Fury I am honestly so bored of Deontay, why ******** do we have to watch this again. I mean i will enjoy seeing him get brayed again but he is just so boring, just says the same stuff. He’s embarassing. All hail 👑 Fury
