    @btbusinesscare Still no reply or update when our broadband will be back on. Nearly 7 days without a business connection. Let down everyday by BT 🤬

    @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

  • 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.

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

    Hi @bt_uk, I moved in my new house two weeks today and I still have no internet and your doing nothing to fix it. I have had to cancel Sky twice and they are booked this Friday. I would like this sorted with an engineer visit tomorrow.

    @BTCare I have an ongoing issue with my broadband I've been in touch a few times now, I've done as instructed & have plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop. I'm trying to watch a programme through the BT box on i player and it is just buffering all the time this can't be right

    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

  • andydeltic
    andy (@andydeltic) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk Morning folks, I’ve lost my full fibre connection. I’ve logged it etc via the website. Is there an issue at the exchange or is this scheduled maintenance? Thanks in advance Andy

  • timtamw88
    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

    Anyone else’s @btsport crashing all the time on bt sport 1 or is mine just bad! 😂😂pointless having it when that’s the main channel 😂😂😂

  • davidmellstrom
    David Mellstrom (@davidmellstrom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @btsport @btsportrugby @bt_uk trying to watch Newcastle Falcons v Bristol tonight on BT1, BT1HD and BTUltimate and all BT channels are jumping and stuttering. Is it just me, or is everyone having this problem. It's usually fine. Every other channel is unaffected.

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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 ?

  • kennydude
    Joe Simpson (@kennydude) reported from Seaham, England

    @quidco If you could also sort the communication problem between yourselves and @bt_uk that’d be great.

  • teacherCate1
    Catherine (@teacherCate1) reported

    @bt_uk It’s not an issue of him not being on top of bills and it definitely needs looking into - he’s over £800 in credit yet he’s still having more money taken from him every month. There is no need for any phone provider to be charging such a huge amount for calls etc.

  • laggyteabag
    Joey (@laggyteabag) reported

    @bt_uk Im helping an neighbour try to log into their BT account. They've set a password a dozen times, and they can log into their BT emails on a browser without any issues, but trying to log into the BT app flags an incorrect password error. Is their any guidance for this?

  • wizza_wozza
    Warren Peters (@wizza_wozza) reported

    @bt_uk Why can’t you @bt_uk send an engineer out to sort it out? Surely if you’re getting multiple requests over a period of days about a particular account at least you can do is investigate or take in interest on whether the issue has been fixed?

  • HelenWakelam
    Helen Wakelam (@HelenWakelam) reported

    @bt_uk how do I get to speak with someone on the helpdesk about a broadband fault instead of dealing with a dreadful bot over text - disgraceful service?

  • RSh234
    Robin Shaw (@RSh234) reported

    @phillyonskem @bt_uk Totally agree. Literally hours on calls to ‘Guides’, only a few of which actually help, processes which ignore issues and no recourse without escalating to the Ombudsman!

  • iMcKenzied
    (((Ian McKenzie))) 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇬🇱 (@iMcKenzied) reported

    @bt_uk As a matter of interest, do you know how many @bt_uk customers have been customers for the entire length of the company’s existence? Can’t be many. For the sake of £73 (which the next customer is going to pay anyway), you’ve turned good news into a bad story. Strange.

  • CribbyYoungs
    Cribby Youngs (@CribbyYoungs) reported

    @bt_uk Would it be courteous to advise a customer & resident of planned work installation outside of home......? No letters or planning leaflet in area..

  • sliverlodeone
    pst (@sliverlodeone) reported

    @bt_uk Yes. I’ve just spent 1.5 hours on the phone to a BT guide, for the 4th time in the last 2 months to try and get my issue resolved. After many hours of troubleshooting, with the same processes undertaken by multiple guides you are finally sending an engineer out. Awful service.

  • surkdidat
    H (@surkdidat) reported

    @bt_uk Im hard if hearing so cannot phone as have difficulty in understanding. Have you got an email address so I can put in an official complaint. You insist I return equipment i didn't need or want. You promised a returns bag would be put in with the new hub and it wasnt.
