    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

    @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!!

    @chris_sutton73 @BBCSportScot got shut down at the presser pressing BR about @LCFV post. Its like they want to stop #10 in a row too @btsport

    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

    @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

    @John_McKee @bt_uk Hi John did you get anywhere with @bt_uk ? I’ve got exactly the same issue no activation until April but sold #hybridconnect as a short term fix before activation. But now I’m staring at a white light and blue signal bars.

    @bt_uk is there a problem with the BT email service at the moment? Cheers

  • CllrHelenTaylor
    Cllr Helen Taylor (@CllrHelenTaylor) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @bt_uk yet another epic fail. 34 minute call, transferred 3 times to the incorrect department, then cut off by the correct department dead on 9pm (home time) and you wonder why we want to cancel? 🤔

  • SuperScienceGrl
    ⌬Nessa Carson (@SuperScienceGrl) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk Hello! I'm a bit concerned that you guys couldn't see a fault on my line any more a couple of days ago, as I've an engineer coming. It really is slow, but it won't even let me do BT speed test bcs a fault is reported. Can I check whether you think there's still a fault? :)

  • RussWWFC

    @bt_uk Hi, I want to use BT WiFi using my mobile account. But I can only see login options for Open zone, BT Broadband and Vodafone

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • IanArnell
    Ian Arnell (@IanArnell) reported from Camberley, England

    @bt_uk As a new customer I have been the model of patience that is now growing thin. I did the honourable thing over 5 hours ago and sent you a DM. I am still waiting for an answer. Please no, I know you are busy. @Ofcom

  • abisarah79
    AS Lambert (@abisarah79) reported from Woodcote, England

    @bt_uk No & they haven’t had a reasonable response or explanation,they’ve just been told @bt_uk don’t work sat & sun so will have to wait until Monday leaving them without landline or broadband for another 72 hrs! They had an engineer booked between 8am- 1pm today but they never came😒

    floralclaire (@floralclaire) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk please help my 80+ year old parents. Without phone or internet for 2 weeks since fibre works broke line. No one can/is fixing. They are desperate. Mobile only works in garden! Dunkirt Lane, Abbotts Ann. Please help!

    @bt_uk my mother phone line has a fault and it is not working I have brought new phones and this has not changed the issue. I need help as my mum has dementia.

  • leedvnprt
    lee davenport (@leedvnprt) reported

    @bt_uk I can't phone any bt number because the automated service doesn't put me through to an actual person, it just says that my service has been restricted and I need to pay. I will not be paying because it was supposed to have been. Cancelled on the 8th of June!

  • sideangleballs
    RichNotRich (@sideangleballs) reported

    @bt_uk @btbusinesscare My business broadband has been down all morning and in my efforts to log in to fault check you've now locked me out of my account! Help please!!

  • CarolLo58903853
    Carol Lord (@CarolLo58903853) reported

    @bt_uk Have finally spoken to someone this am. Despite it being a similar fault rectified by openreach in the past somewhere down the track, was told nothing BT could do & suggested I try a different b/b provider!! Only after making a massive fuss I now have an open reach appt on Mon

    @Walesguy2 @bt_uk Mark, it's been a known issue for months.

  • wizza_wozza
    Warren Peters (@wizza_wozza) reported

    @bt_uk Why can’t you @bt_uk send an engineer out to sort it out? Surely if you’re getting multiple requests over a period of days about a particular account at least you can do is investigate or take in interest on whether the issue has been fixed?

  • sharpysharps
    Stephen Sharples (@sharpysharps) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach And then there is @bt_uk who are just beyond useless and unable to get any info at all on the problem after being kept on hold for an hour. Absolutely tinpot from both companies.

  • wizza_wozza
    Warren Peters (@wizza_wozza) reported

    Had a most frustrating experiences trying to help an elderly friend with their broadband and wi-fi through @bt_uk - BTs support systems are designed to hamper rather than help. My friend has poor mobile signal and relies on BT for phone/internet, difficult to speak to a human.

  • Phillip16484278
    Phillip Thompson (@Phillip16484278) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve been a BT customer for many years. It would appear you value new customers rather than retaining new ones. There’s a monthly difference of £5. Rather lose a customer I would think that you would match the price. Apparently not. Crazy business model.

  • untidysue
    sue evans (@untidysue) reported

    @bt_uk please can you tell me why I can’t test my broadband speed please? Suddenly it’s not working when I go into our garden and it always has before.
