  • elliott_finlay Finlay Elliott (@elliott_finlay) reported from Newton Aycliffe, England

    Hi @bt_uk is this number your representative 01963439160 phoned me not your customer so probably scam

  • elliott_finlay Finlay Elliott (@elliott_finlay) reported from Newton Aycliffe, England

    @bt_uk Switch Internet off we are closing it down due to the press option 1or 2 usual scam calling stuff

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Crook, England

    @bt_uk False alarm, it was a nice neighbour dropping off a Christmas card - I saw an Openreach van down the road and assumed that you had actually done something!!

  • CraigShitpeas Craig Shitpeas (@CraigShitpeas) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Rochdale’s 40yr old forward more effective than #Nufc 40million pound one. He is awful. No heart, no touch, no industry just dreadful. Well done #rochdale a deserved payday. They should have won it. They still might! #facup #btsport

  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    A new development on the BT issue. Had a call following my Tweet from a person @bt_uk apologising for yesterday. Early termination fee waived, apology accepted and relationship restored. Both agreed that this wasn’t the way it should happen but impressed with the resolution.

  • JPaulGreen John Paul Green (@JPaulGreen) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @BTCare Line has dial tone but crackles and hub light orange. It's deja vu. Doesn't seem to happen as often as it did when engineers finally fixed line problem last year, but it's annoying that the crackle has returned and speeds have dipped etc

  • nickbriggs72 nick briggs💙💛 (@nickbriggs72) reported from Startforth, England

    Not into conspiracy theories, but decided to switch Broadband from @bt_uk to @skytv, BT were good & sorted out out leaving, so I thought, now got a text saying issue with the cease order failed and needed to phone back, strangely my BT phones now not working when I tried to call

  • SunderlanDave Dave Lee (@SunderlanDave) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @btsport Steve McManaman has to be the worst co-commentator in the history of co-commentators #LIVBAR #ChampionsLeague

  • JPaulGreen John Paul Green (@JPaulGreen) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Still paying for @bt_uk @BTCare and get getting less than full service and yet to be compensated for the hell that was BT between Aug and end of October. 2019 now and can't hear people speak on a landline @Ofcom

  • SunderlanDave Dave Lee (@SunderlanDave) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @mickskehan @Julieat30 Our coverage in the UK went off air with 1 minute of injury time to go ... No apologies at all **** you @btsport @btsportfootball

  • timlibrarian Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    @bt_uk Hi, no, it’s not a new build. Engineer visited before Christmas and was able to activate broadband but not phone service due to a fault in the junction box. Order number is VOL013-439847322595

  • Yate5y Yatesy (@Yate5y) reported from Darlington, England

    @bt_uk Well I want to save bt money, save plastic and package and make the world a better place. You don't send me a plastic hub and I don't need to pay a tenner for it. 100% having my pants taken down paying ten pound for delivery

  • MissLWrighty Wrighty (@MissLWrighty) reported from Darlington, England

    What would be really great right now is if all the internet providers gave free upgrades to all those in key critical roles working from home to enable them to continue without interruption due to slow service @bt_uk @VirginMediaCorp @skytv

  • marc3374 Marc Johnson (@marc3374) reported from Newton Aycliffe, England

    @bt_uk Very disappointed at the customer service received after a phone call my wife made regarding our current broadband contract. Staff member was very patronising and unhelpful especially considering we have been BT customers for 20 years.

  • Hossy93 Joseph Drane (@Hossy93) reported from Brandon, England

    @Gaz_House @btsport Or you could go down the night before. 😉

  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    10+ years (probably more) of being a loyal @bt_uk @BTGroup customer and they couldn’t waive the early termination fee liable because my new move means I can’t transfer the contract to my temporary property. I will never use them again.

  • JohnnyEssex John Heap (@JohnnyEssex) reported

    This could be the last season for @btsport subscription ..high price.. poor content .. and they still charge extra for HD and UHD.. #crap

  • stephen501 Stephen (@stephen501) reported

    @btbusinesscare All sorted but not impressed with customer assistant before the one o dealt with

  • captainonaboat Bender B. Rodriguez (@captainonaboat) reported

    @btsport hello, I have a monthly pass that was due to renew on 16th March, I rang at the weekend to cancel the renewal (wouldn’t let me do it online) and now the app is telling me I don’t have a subscription. Please can you address this!?

  • TheNigelroberts Nigel Roberts (@TheNigelroberts) reported

    @McDermottQC @bt_uk I’m switching over to Vodafone the end of the month. BT £47 a month now £22 a month. BT were not in the slightest bit interested in doing a deal unless I was a new customer!

  • kayb2710 Kay Aldridge (@kayb2710) reported

    @bt_uk My issue is that your loyalty team think it’s ok to charge two pensioners to buy out their contract when they’ve had to go into cared for accommodation due to my Mum’s advancing dementia. £129 is a significant amount to a pensioner. They asked me if I was happy with that! NO

  • bph73 Ben (@bph73) reported

    @bt_uk So my neighbour can sign up now for "Full Fibre 900" and pay £55.99 for the next 12 months, and I have to pay £62.68 a month for the same service? Is that treating customers fairly? Shouldn't we both be paying the same price? @TheFCA

  • andreaswheeler andreas wheeler (@andreaswheeler) reported

    @bt_uk I ‘upgraded’ to halo 3+ internet from BT, I got a nice hybrid modem, ‘to help if the internet goes down’ a week later I’m told I have to return it otherwise I will have to pay for it? So I’ve sent it back. How come I have to send something back that I’ve paid for already?

  • BURNLEYJOHN1 BURNERS.⚽🔔🔚🇬🇧 (@BURNLEYJOHN1) reported

    @BT Just got a letter from the above. They put it up again, how can they charge us more for the world's worst internet speed. It's worse than DIAL UP from the 90's. You are an embarrassment @bt_uk . One night last weekend we got the dizzy heights of 9mb/s. 🤯

  • chesleafctalk cfc talk (@chesleafctalk) reported

    Ian Darke and Robbie Savage is the worst commentary pair @btsport could put together

  • ericsons Rafael T. Ericson (@ericsons) reported

    @bt_uk my internet is ****.. thanks @bt_uk for the poor service
