  • MHswans Mike Houghton (@MHswans) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hey @bt_uk I’ve just had a call from a lady claiming to be BT Open Reach & there is a problem with my internet connection, I need to access my computer whilst on the phone with me to show me and fix the problem. As I’m with @virginmedia I’m guessing this is a scam. Am I right?

  • murfilicious Chris Murphy (@murfilicious) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk I am still having issues yes, someone at EE is currently investigating whether or not I have the package on my contract (I do)

  • cosmickx 🔮 ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄᴋ ᴍɪsᴀ || (@cosmickx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk We haven't had internet for the last 3 days, still don't and your customer service has been awful. We all need the internet in the house to work and fulfill tasks but your company just doesn't seem bothered at all.

  • iainmspillane anfänglichinteressantesaberunterwältigendeslied (@iainmspillane) reported from Grangetown Community, Wales

    @btsport Having a few audio issues with the commentary here. A few words are getting garbled and I can’t understand most of what they’re saying. Can you ask Fletcher to take his tongue out of Messi’s arse and that should clear it all up?

  • Npteggchaser Darren Little (@Npteggchaser) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @bt_uk having trouble with our home broadband. Have followed your advice on texting a number, but no reply & still the same. Also, can't access own account either, even after pin number for resetting password. Can you please assist? Is there any phone number I can ring? Thanks.

  • cosmickx 🔮 ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄᴋ ᴍɪsᴀ || (@cosmickx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk is there an internet and landline outage in Cardiff, Wales? Our phone is dead and our internet keeps making a noise and switching itself off

  • 4rickus4 Jack Rickus (@4rickus4) reported from Saint Nicholas, Wales

    @EE a few weeks back I could watch BTSport on my Xbox or Fire TV, now I can do neither without being told I need to upgrade my subscription. Can you help please?

  • DonKiano Don Maidment (@DonKiano) reported from Maesycwmmer, Wales

    @btsport The worst and toughest customer service experience I’ve ever had. 40 minutes of my life talking to an operator that had got no nearer to resolving my issue. Absolute awful service. Just ordered the monthly package tonight, paid £25. cancelled same night at a £25 loss

  • Mr_Mallett666 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿☠ Mr Mallett ☠🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Mr_Mallett666) reported from Newport, Wales

    @btsport sort your streaming service out 🤔

  • AdamLee2011 Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

    Bt sport not working on virgin media 😡 #Btsport #virginmedia

  • ferch_Cenydd Hadley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺☠️🌈 (@ferch_Cenydd) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btbusinesscare Oh, you have no idea how much patience I’ve had to excercise with BT for a few years. Improvements seem to made though, sensible call staff recognising a problem straight off, competent engineer sent ASAP. Just need to sort out recurring problem with local telegraph pole!

  • GerJDav Gerald J Davies (@GerJDav) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @bt_uk @btbusinesscare Any chance you can help @btbusinesscare ? It’s so annoying

  • STEVEOLUCKY7 Steveo Davies (@STEVEOLUCKY7) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    Wtf @btsport watched the @ufc main event this morning on record from last night and the recording ends at the last bell , I dont even get to see the winner of potential FOTY...

  • jocra14 John Crabtree (@jocra14) reported from Clevedon, England

    @Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk It was until last weekend but now it’s flashing. I’m told the issue is that Openreach have the wrong s/n attached to the property and Bt give them the correct one but it doesn’t get updated

  • martzreed1975 Martz (@martzreed1975) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport @btsportfootball what I would change in football. Cancel injury time and adopt rugby rules. Clock stops at half time and fulltime and whistle blows when ball out of play.

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • desta_omar Desta Omar (@desta_omar) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    6 calls 3 live chats 2 texts 1 complaint cut off 3 times. Still no wifi and continual landline issues for an 82 year old lady who has been shielding for 22 weeks. Worst service in a pandemic from an essential service @bt_uk #btbad #cutoff #isolated direct reply plz

  • jocra14 John Crabtree (@jocra14) reported from Clevedon, England

    @Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk We were supposed to have an engineer visit on the 18 Dec 2020 and that never happened. I asked BT to arrange an engineer last week and they said no need.

  • speedupdating Nick Speed (@speedupdating) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @seimon76 @privilegecafe_ @DC_Wales Try the #DevicesDotNow campaign from @futuredotnowuk which we have been supporting at @bt_uk - with devices going to @Online_Centres - longer term, it may be worth considering joining the network - pob lwc. #digitalinclusion

  • GhGriff27 Gavin (@GhGriff27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport I can't access my bt sport app. I pay for "Large Screen" on my phone to cast to my tv but have not been able to use it. Please help.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • naylor_adam Ads (@naylor_adam) reported

    @bt_uk I have to say, spoke to someone yesterday, he chased openreach, explained incorrect order had been placed and that was with a team to fix. Said likely to be Monday to be fixed but was sorted this morning. Great work.

  • ereuben Elliot Reuben (@ereuben) reported

    @bt_uk Have also swapped out various ethernet cables and sockets to see if that was the problem but it's not that either...

  • DanielM16334247 Daniel Mcloughlin (@DanielM16334247) reported

    @bt_uk that doesn't help me nor does it give our bosses a satisfactory answer. Faults happen but taking 2 full days to fix it is ludicrous I understand you have to keep to these lines but as a couple who are struggling even 2 days without work is going to seriously effect us financially

  • calazeeka Calazeeka (@calazeeka) reported

    @bt_uk Reset is done. Still slow unfortunately.

  • Dylan260594 Dylan (@Dylan260594) reported

    @btsport why am I not able to watch @ufc from last night, its on series record but keeps failing, can't find it on demand either? Why am I paying for your service when I don't get the services I'm paying for?

  • DanielM16334247 Daniel Mcloughlin (@DanielM16334247) reported

    @bt_uk So both me and my partner are expected to just tell our bosses that? understand that there are complexities but paying for a service that isn't available through no fault of your own isn't acceptable. If we don't work we don't earn money. Times are hard. this needs to be resolved

  • AJSC1991 Aaron Campbell (@AJSC1991) reported

    @bt_uk hi. Your test system must be lying. My internet drops every 5 mins or so. Unusable and I need it for work. I've done the systems so much I know them off by heart. Please fix my issue 😡

  • DanielM16334247 Daniel Mcloughlin (@DanielM16334247) reported

    @bt_uk Again I get it but maybe try being a little more personable this doesn't help. Now we're out of 4 days of work between us. We both have desktops and aren't near a hotspot. But I guess thanks.

  • nathantoothy90 Nathan Butterworth (@nathantoothy90) reported

    @bt_uk Ethernet cable won’t reach. I did try it at first and the speeds were also terrible barely made a difference.

  • alom18_alom Muhammad Alom (@alom18_alom) reported

    @bt_uk 1 week no landline no internet no clear indication on when we will get our service back. Shame the biggest Telecom company unable to fix a problem for over 6 days
