    .@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.

    @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!

    @btsport the uefa feed of this match is really poor. Where are the replays? @EuropaLeague #MUNCOP

    @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

    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.

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

  • floralclaire
    floralclaire (@floralclaire) reported from Bracknell, England

    @bt_uk What a joke! My parents live in Abbotts Ann. They have been without phone and internet 2 WEEKS after roadworks. Who was responsible. Who can fix it? They are desperate now. @OpenreachHelp and @bt_uk and contractors haven’t fixed it. A disgrace! They are in 80s

  • heathercaudle

    @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.

  • 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 !

    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

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk Is broadband down in OX11 postcode area?

    @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

  • trevjrho
    trevor rhodes (@trevjrho) reported

    @bt_uk The many BT "guides" I've spoken to have been pleasant and tried to help but are constrained by a system that frankly doesn't work in customers interests. Particularly so in the case of older customers.

  • TupperwareNFT
    NFTupperware (@TupperwareNFT) reported

    @mongrelcelt @bt_uk Don't call them, the slimy bastards will deny anything said on the phone. Raise an official complaint in writing. Send to their executive office for escalation. This is the exact reason I no longer have a bb contract. Had issues with 2 many providers. Now use pp SIM in 5g router

  • thesewingcroft
    Zoe Roberts (@thesewingcroft) reported

    @bt_uk any chance someone can tell me how to remove mobile accounts from my plan? Absolute NIGHTMARE. Forcing me to pay for something I can’t even CANCEL!!! Reporting to authorities

  • Haggisguy
    Alan Swanson (@Haggisguy) reported

    @bt_uk I cannot be the only person facing this issue, been doing it online for years, until the current bill.

  • xTwzsr

    @bt_uk your wifi is ****.

  • mongrelcelt
    duncan (@mongrelcelt) reported

    @TupperwareNFT @bt_uk Problem is both sides claim innocence. But onus is on BT to prove they made the request (community fibre can't prove an absence of something). It'll take an ombudsman to demand evidence from BT, so they've forced my hand. So pathetic for a massive corp to hide behind call centre

  • ChemTeachCGO
    Craig Goddard (@ChemTeachCGO) reported

    @bt_uk It seems that since it moved to HBO Max, this is no longer the case & is now baked into my contract alongside broadband. I don't recall at any time being asked about this & I have always understood it to be a rolling commitment. Please explain this situation and how I can cancel.

  • 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).

  • palacejohn
    John (@palacejohn) reported

    @bt_uk Incorrect. Tried but the same useless system. Finally successful by using option to leave BT. Straight through to a human being, strange how loss of customers is more important than giving good service.

  • stevetaylor10
    Steve Taylor (@stevetaylor10) reported

    I have to say if I gave my customers the same service that I'm receiving from @bt_uk I really would not have a business left.
