    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?

  • 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?

  • Hanlccook Han🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Hanlccook) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @bt_uk the light on my hub is purple and has been all afternoon. I’ve turned it on and off multiple times. Still no internet. Can someone help me please!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Natalieball1984 NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service to my mum who had shielded since March 2020! She can't use BT sports anymore and BT are saying £130+ to remove it!! She doesn't have any money! She is stressed, immune compromised and BT drop this on her! Shameful!

  • MoggyMarshman Moggy🛸🪐🚀👁️⃤ (@MoggyMarshman) reported from Newbridge, Wales

    @garethcollier @btsport I’m allowed down Monday to sort it all out & give it a good clean .. I wanna take nice pics then aswel to rent it .. but the actual day is April 12th it’s open ..

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

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

    @btsport sort your streaming service out 🤔

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • KjMabbutt KJMabbutt (@KjMabbutt) reported

    @bt_uk Our estate has had no Broadband for over 9 days, any chance you can help??

  • Geog_Miss_P Miss P the 🌍HoD🙋‍♀️🏳️‍🌈 (@Geog_Miss_P) reported

    @bt_uk can you help? My 91yo grandma has been without a landline since 21/12, your engineer said its a major fault and cannot be fixed, "for weeks" but she's the only house experiencing it. She lives alone and doesn't use the Internet/mobiles so is vulnerable.

  • MRAFYB26 AFY B (@MRAFYB26) reported

    @bt_uk Nope, they said they would call me today at 12, nothing. Imagine if I had breached the contract, you’d chase me for every penny of the contract. I’ll be making a formal complaint

  • JD5414 Jane (@JD5414) reported

    @DreyfusJames @bt_uk BT are the worst, I haven't used them for years for that reason

  • DaveB_mcfc DaveB🇧🇼 (@DaveB_mcfc) reported from Longfield, England

    Our broadband has been on/off daily since 16/12 but despite being given a fix date of 06/01 at 1pm this has now passed and the fault checker now says you are unable to give a new date. Can you give update confirm what compensation we are entitled to and how we claim it. @.bt_uk

  • TallDarkGru Tall Dark & Grüesöme (@TallDarkGru) reported

    @DreyfusJames @bt_uk It's why I ended up going with Sky. Not the best by any means, but had very few problems

  • HathorsDaughter Sue Henderson 💙 (@HathorsDaughter) reported

    @DreyfusJames @bt_uk They've clearly not changed in over two decades when I fled from them and vowed never to give them a penny ever again. I'm sorry you're having to endure their inadequacies. I hope they sort it out soon.

  • DreyfusJames James Dreyfus (@DreyfusJames) reported

    @toucanjester @bt_uk It’s funny you should say that. I’ve heard similar. The poor lad who was here the other day to fix it kept being rung by BT to push him to another job. He had no choice but to leave without finishing. He too wanted to leave them.

  • HorlockAndy Grendal62 (@HorlockAndy) reported

    @DreyfusJames @samjjones73 @bt_uk See previous post, we went back to sky. The viewing card on our sky box went on Boxing Day. Phoned them on Boxing Day, couldn't fix but promised that they would post out another. It arrived on the 29th. Great service from them

  • toucanjester MrC 🛸 (@toucanjester) reported

    @DreyfusJames @JustBusyWriting @bt_uk Today its usually fibre to the large green boxes (DSLAM) & then 🤞🏽 copper beyond. Unfortunately there is aluminium & even paper insulated wires still in the ground. Underground boxes flood easily especially after a storm, wires get rubbed down in the trees if it’s pole fed
