    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from High Wycombe, England

    The exchange in Beaconsfield has just fallen over, landlines and broadband down. Anyone from @btbusinesscare online who can get someone on the case. Has taken out most of the businesses in the area including their card processing capabilities? Thanks. #bthelp @OpenreachHelp

    Ian Reynolds (@pumps1000) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk The issue is that you charge customers for a service. A service which allows scammers access to your system. I would have been happy to give up the line for a token gesture. You try blocking 80 calls an hour!

  • thomablue
    Kevin Buckland (@thomablue) reported from Reading, England

    @btsport commentary and pundits are objectionable and biased . You can stick your subscription up your red tinged arse- **** you 😂🤣😂🤣😂

    @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.

    Volume on #btsport3 is **** sort it out @bt_uk #Everton #leeds

    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’?

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

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

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

    @bt_uk RG30 2UB phone and internet NOT WORKING.

  • 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 !

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

    @btsportmotogp @btsport do@you realise the level of disappointment & frustration you’ve introduced to my household this weekend by totally c***ing up the coverage? Worst part as I understand it - my husband can no longer record everything he wants to see as it’s on red button 😩

  • _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

  • RobPercyPhoto
    Rob Percy (@RobPercyPhoto) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @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.

  • lesleyannandra

    @btsport would be good to have commentators support British teams instead no it’s Ajax all the way #ChampionsLeague

  • 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

  • karlos437

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @bt_uk Thank you but sadly your information seems incorrect as I can categorically tell you it drops several times a day. My husband works from home so it is noticed each time and it always goes down in the evening.

  • Haggisguy
    Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported

    @bt_uk I'm unable to manage my account online due to the recent changes you've made with MFA and needing a uk mobile phone. How do I check on my billing, how do I know what my bill is, and how do I pay it. Tried multiple times calling customer service and nobody has a solution??

  • GillianSmith16
    Gillian Smith (@GillianSmith16) reported

    @bt_uk @btcmateus The internet is down in CR8.

  • sc2987
    Shoshanah Cohen (@sc2987) reported

    @bt_uk And if she were going to switch mobile providers, it would be to Giffgaff, as we're all with them. Not you. You should never be pushing extra services on people moving to a social tariff (or anyone, but especially those likely to be vulnerable).

  • ClarkeDdmthe1st
    shullup it worked out (@ClarkeDdmthe1st) reported

    Shock @bt_uk has another outage after saying they fixed the issue… I need recommendations for another provider because this contract is getting terminated.

  • JohnKaysCanoe
    Digger (@JohnKaysCanoe) reported

    @bt_uk is there a reason why my broadband goes down at 02:15 every single night without fail?

  • robertd1981
    Robert Drummond (@robertd1981) reported

    Usual poor service from @btmailhelpdesk 87 yr old M-i-L left without help getting her ipad connected to internet using modem. Obviously can't be bothered to spend the extra few minutes to help out a customer. @bt_uk

  • GillianSmith16
    Gillian Smith (@GillianSmith16) reported

    @bt_uk @Beji218888 Your service checker is saying your system is down and your service centres won’t have any more information. This is 2026

    @mongrelcelt @bt_uk You’ve clearly never dealt with @skytv

  • MungoMouthpiece
    mungo's mouthpiece (@MungoMouthpiece) reported

    @bt_uk Never mind my 'feelings', what about the threats & illegality? 'Reaching out' to a team that can only parrot the official narrative won't help. It's the ones at the top that need to have their dictatorial mentality reined in. I reiterate; it's ILLEGAL!

  • mandllewellyn
    Amanda Llewellyn (@mandllewellyn) reported

    @btbusinesscare Done that - of course! And your colleague’s are unable to assist me as it’s “a known problem” and “the only solution is to create a new email address”.
