    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

    @btsport please sack Peter Walton now. The guy is a complete an absolute moron and backs up everything that is bad about VAR. all 4 pros in the studio know it so please do not give the **** airspace. Its pathetic.

    @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

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

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

    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.

    @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.

  • 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’?

    @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!

    @BritishTelecom your service has become crap after #ReadingFestival has started. Stop stealing my data and streaming #pissedoff @btsport because there’s no actual #bt trying to watch a film and constant interruptions

  • 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 😂🤣😂🤣😂

  • 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.

    @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!

  • _gavinjones

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

    @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? :)

  • Lashes_N_Ink
    Amy Lou (@Lashes_N_Ink) reported

    @bt_uk She doesn’t have an account with you. She was going to be a new customer. Seen as you didn’t come to install on the day agreed, and the installation didn’t take place. Surely there’s no chance of her being billed?

  • BrownEyedGirlGB
    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @bt_uk you then went onto confirm to refuse to cancel the Digital Voice appointment even though your records show the telecare equipment hasn’t been upgraded yet and that the notes say I’ll be in touch when it is. Rep went on to say we might be left without a line, like a threat

  • Jacsplace3
    Jac Dee 🇺🇦 (@Jacsplace3) reported

    Dear @bt_uk We switched to @EE home broadband 2 months ago and it's been awful since. We're now paying for two bills. Customer service think we switched in September 2025 - incorrect. Today we have no broadband Goodness sake the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

  • stockport871
    Stockport871 (@stockport871) reported

    @bt_uk Hello, yesterday I highlighted I needed some extra support and the reasons why are on my account. I had a message to direct message you and you’d get back to me but you haven’t, any chance of hearing anything back? I’m now 8 days over the promised call back from a serious issue.

  • NikkiOsbor4715
    Nikki Anderson (@NikkiOsbor4715) reported

    @bt_uk OVERCHARGED by this awful company again.... emailed them...no response, telling me on twitter to phone them and wait for hours for the phone to be answered. Contract up soon cannot wait awful company. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK how can you overcharge me 🤬🤬

  • countrymousie

    @btbusinesscare It's dropping in and out. I have no mobile signal here so I suspect Starlink is my best bet

    @bt_uk Please fix the problem with your email. x

  • Banksie_FB5
    Gary Banks (@Banksie_FB5) reported

    @bt_uk I was told, on Sun, that it was planned 2b here Mon. Then told Mon it was planned 2b here Tues. Now told tomorrow. If the engineer had tested his work before he left I may not have been in this position! Now I’ve had to cancel a job of work “in case” this persists! #unacceptable

  • garv25mittal
    Garv Mittal (@garv25mittal) reported

    @bt_uk I have called countless times…the issue is the appointment gets rescheduled automatically and there is no intimation. I have waited for 05 hours today just for your agent to say the appointment has been rescheduled to 03 May AM slot. I need this to be escalated immediately

  • CmucG
    Chris McGregor (@CmucG) reported

    @bt_uk is this one of your numbers 01438382072. Since deciding to cancel my services with you today this number has called me 5 times. It is harassment. You had your chance to keep me when I called to say I had a better offer elsewhere. Your offer was rubbish and refused.
