Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Reading and nearby locations:

  • Tsar_Nicholas Nicholas Mazzei (@Tsar_Nicholas) reported from Hook, England

    @pmalinski83 @SkySports @SkySportsPL @bt_uk I get why they avoid it, having been in the BT corporate affairs team until recently and wanting them for ages to take a stronger stand on these issues. It’s risky. But these companies have power and if they want to do something about it, here’s their chance

  • Gary4W Gary (@Gary4W) reported from Wokingham, England

    I hope #Lloris hasn’t broken anything, especially his elbow. Speaking from experience, 18 months later mine still not right ! #Brighton #Tottenham @btsport

  • Tsar_Nicholas Nicholas Mazzei (@Tsar_Nicholas) reported from Wokingham, England

    100% with Gary Neville on this and I find it weird @SkySports @SkySportsPL needs to say this isn’t their view. You’re the broadcaster FFS; take a principled stand. You and @bt_uk have the power to force premier league to address the issues. Don’t be cowards.

  • heathercaudle Heather Caudle RN (@heathercaudle) reported from Camberley, England

    @bt_uk hello, ironically, I could not complete my online chat about my broadband and Wifi because my connection is very very bad. Please can I speak to a human.

  • Hunsy1969 Paul Hunsdon (@Hunsy1969) reported from Wokingham, England

    @clairesn13 @ncustisTheSun @btsport @SkySports No problem Claire. 😃

  • HenryJ489 Henry Johnson (@HenryJ489) reported from Kingsclere, England

    @bt_uk Yes the password finally came in the post after several phone calls and hours on hold. Thanks for getting back to me, but the process can’t be good if it takes months to reply and it takes a moody complaint through twitter to get a response.

  • FuzzEVisuals 𝕋𝕠𝕞 𝔾𝕣𝕚𝕗𝕗𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕤 (@FuzzEVisuals) reported from Wokingham, England

    I thought VAR was suppose to clear up these bad decisions. Obviously not. All officials have been absolutely terrible! #NAPLIV @btsportfootball @btsport

  • _gavinjones Gavin Jones (@_gavinjones) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @bt_uk 1/2 didn’t get a call but a text instead, now due to be fixed on the 7th February. Not only is my phone line down so is the broadband

  • parentsnetindia Parentsnet.in (@parentsnetindia) reported from Wokingham, England

    @bt_uk no engineer even assigned to the complaint. Huge loss, cannot see patients, cannot get phone calls, cannot take payments. BT is a disgrace

  • lynothehammer Steve Lynes (@lynothehammer) reported from Sandhurst, England

    Blimey never have I seen so many adverts packed in to @WWE #Raw. Seem like its every 5 minutes @BTCare

  • DanielDerek91 Daniel Hill (@DanielDerek91) reported from Camberley, England

    @btsport hi I’ve been trying to contact bt customer services on the phone a few times to cancel my bf sport package but can’t get through (been on hold 3 times for 30 mins+ and keeps cutting off). Please can someone get in touch urgently to help. Thanks

  • bft9 Bren (@bft9) reported from Reading, England

    @TheVanaramaNL @btsport Nobel never punished them the crap referee did

  • karlos437 karl matthews (@karlos437) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @bt_uk major issues again in the SL7 area with #broadband #help been terrible for ever

  • HenleyPhotos Henley-on-Thames (@HenleyPhotos) reported from Henley-on-Thames, England

    @UglyBear_ @bt_uk @skytv @btsport @BBCNews @SkyNews All rubbish, if our gas and electric and water run on the same service there would be uproar as it supposed to be the fourth utility service!!

  • _gavinjones Gavin Jones (@_gavinjones) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @bt_uk 2/2 My security cameras are down, my kids can’t do their homework, very dissatisfied

  • richardpotty (Potts) ATFC (@richardpotty) reported from Farnborough, England

    Stop pronouncing German clubs in the stupid accent 🤦 #Bundesliga #btsport

  • rgcarr1 Rob Carr (@rgcarr1) reported from Woodley, England

    @bt_uk exceptional customer service as usual. 7 days we’ve been trying to talk to you about our home move. 7 days you have hung up on us. Newsflash, you run a telephone service. Do let me know if you want me to come and show you how to use the telephone #btinternet #bttv

  • PF_BootCamp James Parker (@PF_BootCamp) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk @KeoghanB @btsport Too late i was forced to watch a crap re run on YouTube today... obviously knowing the result. Absolutely zero help after many hours repeating my self on chat support, here and email. There is clearly a problem and nothing was done. I’ve screen shot convos to take this higher

  • alexandasmith Alex Smith 🦊 (@alexandasmith) reported from Farnborough, England

    Thought the Maguire half and half picture was bad but this is a new level... No words.... Glad BTSport got the rights to UCL next season when we are there, with these 2 at the back! #lcfc

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @PhelanHill @bt_uk @virginmedia If it works it's brilliant but if it doesn't @virginmedia 's Customer Service is woeful in my experience (and @GBRChris_A 's) Currently even with all the people working at home it is good @ 200 Mbps !

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LoDunn_ Lo (@LoDunn_) reported

    @bt_uk Still have no data light but I am reluctant to attempt to fix it as it caused so much frustration last time. The internet is fine everywhere else so I don't understand why it keeps dropping.

  • ckcxn char (@ckcxn) reported

    Laughing and crying at @bt_uk student deal for broadband with a guaranteed speed of ZERO Mbps. ZERO how is that even a thing. Love not being able to do uni from home because my network provider sucks 🤪

  • vj_antard Antard (@vj_antard) reported

    @bt_uk hi trying to upgrade my headband to the new full fibre, but the charge for an already customer is £30 dearer per month than a new customer? Is this right?

  • ClaireEvans74 Claire Evans 💙 (@ClaireEvans74) reported

    @bt_uk Have been an email customer for years but recently hubby & I are inundated with spam messages to our inbox. Never had this issue before, is there anything we can do to stop them. We are getting one particular email about 10 times plus a day each!! TIA

  • Swingbridge2 Preston Dock Bridge #getthemaskbackon (@Swingbridge2) reported

    @Lostock_Henge @bt_uk Even though the cost is spread between all telephone companies via a levy there is never a "right" place to have a phonebox. To be fair the "everyone has a mobile" theory does not hold up and the vandals make the situation worse

  • SamuelCise 🟡 Samuel Cise (@SamuelCise) reported

    @OpenreachHelp your bot sucks too. Awful service from you and @bt_uk

  • 5tuart71 stuart winship (@5tuart71) reported

    @bt_uk 2 months on and no idea when it will be resolved. To quote BT today “reconnecting me will never be a priority “

  • 5tuart71 stuart winship (@5tuart71) reported

    @bt_uk I’d settle for an answer to the question ‘why is it taking so long and when will my service be restored?’

  • andr3brasil André Brasil (@andr3brasil) reported

    @bt_uk horrible experience! More than a month to get my internet installed and they are asking for more 10 days to give me an UPDATE!

  • redleaderwright Graeme (@redleaderwright) reported

    Gutted that #TheAshes has moved to @btsport. I mean it's bad enough you pay @skytv over £100/month and they want another £27/month for BT Sport.
