    @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? :)

  • pinners888 Pinners (@pinners888) reported from Wokingham, England

    @btsport what’s going on. Why can’t I watch PSG game yet have to listen to pundits banging on about the Chelsea performance. WTF!

  • Westofcenter Andy West (@Westofcenter) reported from Lower Shiplake, England

    .@bt_uk are you aware of situations today where scamming calls cause Broadband to go down? Have received two today and both times, caused loss of connection.

  • fiddler_mike mikef (@fiddler_mike) reported from Kingsclere, England

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

  • JR_1871 Jonathan Richards (@JR_1871) reported from Reading, England

    Just lost my @bt_uk broadband - and they are saying it could be days before it’s repaired. I work from home. Disgraceful service. If I was days late with my payment they’d be all over me. If you’re with BT be warned. Apparently it’s due to us being in the ‘run up to Christmas’?

  • jwedwards1 John Edwards (@jwedwards1) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @bt_uk Any idea when this Broadband outage will be fixed? It’s been over 24 hours now #Marlow

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

    @bt_uk A fix has already been run! I would like to claim for these historical issues separately to trying to fix any persisting ones. Otherwise I'm thinking I might not ever be compensated :) fix already done!

  • vickyclarke76 vicky clarke (@vickyclarke76) reported from Mortimer Common, England

    @bt_uk I have been really disappointed with your service so and have only been with you since December last year. Nothing is ever dealt with when I contact your team! Please can you sort it out?

  • Sharonkuhl Sharon Ducker (was Kuhl) (@Sharonkuhl) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk I am amazed that you are still in business, your appalling customer service leaving my parents with no home phone, broadband that is not great, missed engineer appointments and on the wrong tariff and this is on going since OCTOBER, & she still pays u #eldery #vunerable

  • shaz_perry Sharon Perry Art (@shaz_perry) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk engineer booked for this morning between 8 and 1 to fix slow connection yet hasn't shown up.

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

    @bt_uk Hello! 👋 Apologies this may be a silly query, but I did the auto-fault reporting thing 2 days ago, and it kept alternating between saying it was ok and saying it wasn't, so I just want to check that the slow broadband connection actually did get reported properly? Thanks!

  • BethcWillard Beth Willard (@BethcWillard) reported from Reading, England

    @_hypocaust Having the same issue with @btsport No coverage even though scheduled 😠

  • Sharonkuhl Sharon Ducker (was Kuhl) (@Sharonkuhl) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk HELLO AGAIN JUST AN UPDATE WITH MY MOTHERS ON-GOING PHONE ISSUE (& YES I AM SHOUTING) her phone was due to be connected in OCTOBER 2019-various errors by YOU means even after an engineer visit yesterday we are no further forward. MY MUM IS 77 & NEEDS HER HOME PHONE #POOR

  • HartTrippy John Tripp (@HartTrippy) reported from Yateley, England

    @bt_uk do you have issues with email spam filters? Inbox full of rubbish 😐

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

    @bt_uk Hello! I've had a problem: for a year (between first 2 speed tests), my broadband speed was much lower than advertised. I just did another: ok but still seems lower? An engineer confirmed & said I should claim money back for the year & ongoing if still happening.

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

  • Skiddles1985 Iain (@Skiddles1985) reported from Crawley, England

    @natalie_17 @chrisjfrev @RichJLaverty @SheKicksdotnet @btsport @BarclaysFAWSL Competitions. Whilst this weekend is not an official blackout weekend, the EFL TV deal will probably still include a 3pm blackout, hence you don’t see EFL games televised on Saturdays at 3pm in international breaks. (Best guess)

  • andiacc andrea Eddleston (@andiacc) reported from Accrington, England

    That's what pissess me off. We pay for this in our extortionate prices. Read my tweet below @Richard Collins @bt_uk @Offcom . Terrible. @bt_uk @BTCare aren't interested. Useless. Apparently @bt don't use @yahoomail anymore. nobody knows / cares.All my medical stuff done thru BT😡

  • Bulldog_Badger Bulldog Badger (@Bulldog_Badger) reported from Herefordshire, England

    @btsport cancelled my BT sports package because of the PPV rip offs, when I subscribed UFC was included in the price.. I was mis-sold so not only have you not made a sale, you lost a customer!
