    @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 🙃

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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…

  • unclenobheadCB Philip Robinson (@unclenobheadCB) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Fully subscribed to @btsport for several years now but I refuse to watch another @NUFC **** show! #bruceout #EVENEW

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

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

    @msmith850 @btsport Never in doubt they are back

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

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

    @btbusinesscare guess what? Promised a phone call 1 hour after I spoke to your team on the phone at 10am and they haven’t rang back. You are exceeding my expectations of being the worst service provider in the UK right now 👏

  • 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 .

  • 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

  • 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

  • JackOakman Jack Oakman-Stevens (@JackOakman) reported

    @bt_uk Hey Hannah, cancelled the contract and you’ve just taken £140 out of my account for no reason… can you help with this?

  • Liiamail Liam (@Liiamail) reported

    Shocking service, yet again, from @bt_uk ... After hours worth of calls, endless assurances, and money grabbing policies, my call was 'hung up' after over 90 minutes on the phone (80% of that time on hold). You'd think one of the 5 people I got transferred to could've helped?!

  • patchdkeyes Patch D Keyes (@patchdkeyes) reported

    @bt_uk fix the internet in bristol please, it’s been going down every few mins for a couple of hours now

  • tania_e_jackson tania Jackson (@tania_e_jackson) reported

    @bt_uk I spent an hr on the phone to a lovely engineer just now, as our Internet isn't working. He said we have to wait 8 days for an engineer to fix the problem. This is totally unacceptable as my husband runs his business from home. Any advice? He can't work without Internet.

  • Minsdipity13 𝑀𝒾𝓃𝒶⁷ (@Minsdipity13) reported

    The way im going to flip out…was told internet would be fixed yet its six hours later and nothing only to be told they have closed and gone home?! So you left everyone without anything @bt_uk you call this a service? You cant even give a date it would be working again!! Useless.

  • TheFootyFusion TheFootyFusion (@TheFootyFusion) reported

    @Rooneyfanatic @btsport He's horrible

  • Bill_63 Fish (@Bill_63) reported

    On Monday morning the telephone lines to my local council in Lancashire crashed. It’s now Thursday mid-morning and they are still not working. What on earth must @bt_uk be doing? 3.5 days without a telephone line into The Town Hall!

  • stuartls Stuart L Stevenson (@stuartls) reported

    @bt_uk She is an existing customer on basic broadband and phone, upgrading after 3mths or so, to a broadband only package, clearly shows currently the broadband only package for 150 fibre is £34.99 yet she is being charged £59.99, that’s £4 more than your own 900 fibre package

  • VoortMartijn Martijn van der Voort (@VoortMartijn) reported

    @bt_uk Looks like BT leadership has hearing loss: can't hear their employee needs for a proper wage, can't hear their customers shouting for better service.

  • Sarah_iman_21 sarah (@Sarah_iman_21) reported

    @bt_uk I am currently experiencing wifi shortages every hour the past day. This is extremely annoying as everyone uses wifi please can you fix this
