  • _gavinjones Gavin Jones (@_gavinjones) reported from High Wycombe, England

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

  • 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.

  • PF_BootCamp James Parker (@PF_BootCamp) reported from Reading, England

    @bt_uk @KeoghanB @btsport Too late i was forced to watch a crap re run on YouTube today... obviously knowing the result. Absolutely zero help after many hours repeating my self on chat support, here and email. There is clearly a problem and nothing was done. I’ve screen shot convos to take this higher

  • Hunsy1969 Paul Hunsdon (@Hunsy1969) reported from Wokingham, England

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

  • 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 !

  • Cranstead John Allen 🇬🇧🇿🇼 (@Cranstead) reported from Wokingham, England

    NU v CFC BTSport- terrible commentary as per usual. The secret is to keep it simple and not continually talk bollocks....

  • richardpotty (Potts) ATFC (@richardpotty) reported from Farnborough, England

    Stop pronouncing German clubs in the stupid accent 🤦 #Bundesliga #btsport

  • DanielDerek91 Daniel Hill (@DanielDerek91) reported from Camberley, England

    @btsport hi I’ve been trying to contact bt customer services on the phone a few times to cancel my bf sport package but can’t get through (been on hold 3 times for 30 mins+ and keeps cutting off). Please can someone get in touch urgently to help. Thanks

  • JohnGubba John Gubba (@JohnGubba) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @bt_uk after 28 years I’ve had to leave #BT for business because of your poor service. Now I’m looking at transfering my personal BT account. Unless you deal with my complaints and do something you have lost another customer

  • 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.

  • Muzzhar Murray Heslin (@Muzzhar) reported from Wokingham, England

    @bt_uk internet going off 10-15 times a day no longer acceptable, especially when you are paying for a premier service, can’t get hold of faults either. Unacceptable!

  • HenleyPhotos Henley-on-Thames (@HenleyPhotos) reported from Henley-on-Thames, England

    @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!!

  • Easters86 Ian East (@Easters86) reported from Didcot, England

    @bt_uk Is broadband down in OX11 postcode area?

  • 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? 🤔

  • 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

  • Gablesgreen134 Tara (@Gablesgreen134) reported

    @bt_uk to sort out my cable being reconnected! I have to deal with a text bot trying to diagnose my issue when I know what the issue is! What a joke!

  • michael231195 Michael Phillips (@michael231195) reported

    @bt_uk how long is the internet going to be down for in the SP5 area? It’s been over 24 hours so far and no contact or updates.

  • IFIMAY4Now IF I MAY (@IFIMAY4Now) reported

    @bt_uk have been trying for several days to get thru to yr call centre with no success. Nor can online chat help. Even your complaints dept aren’t taking calls! I want to cancel our Account with immediate effect. How is it acceptable that a telecommunications Co won’t take calls?

  • Fi_Tomkin Fi Tomkin (@Fi_Tomkin) reported

    @bt_uk HELP. I have two cut off elderly parents who live alone. We are very worried and it feels like no-one at BT is able to help at all. Order placed in July 'accidentally' disconnected in August and now have neither phone or data. This is no way to treat people! Terrible

  • Danuel141 Danuel Robertson (@Danuel141) reported

    @bt_uk The service is an absolute mess. Didn’t refund my months bill due to no internet for 7 days. Went to upgrade to full fibre can even send the new hub out in time for the engineers to install.

  • JonesiOnTwittah Gareth Jones 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@JonesiOnTwittah) reported

    Why is it, about once a year, for no obvious reason at all, your internet just goes down, and then you've to wait days for an engineer? Drives me insane, and their half-arsed attitude to getting it back up and running for you 😠 @bt_uk
