  • tonyknowles36 Tony Knowles (@tonyknowles36) reported from Blackburn, England

    @jimwilkz @btsport Worst part of it is Glenn McGrath attempting to be nice and gracious when talking about England. Jeez, he was the biggest 'Pommie' basher of them all!

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi. I moved home and had my services transferred. No problem. Today I have received an email saying I will be charged for ending the contract early and received another email about returning kit?

  • MrsW64242123 @MrsW (@MrsW64242123) reported from Penwortham, England

    @BTCare any indication When customer access to email will be restored?

  • MikeNolan Michael Nolan (@MikeNolan) reported from Burscough, England

    Ordered @bt_uk broadband at the start of December with an installation date of 11 January. Not great but understandable in current circumstances. Just had text message saying new activation date is 8 March. Very poor.

  • KerryM811 K e r r i (@KerryM811) reported from Horwich, England

    @bt_uk Hi, my internet is running painfully slow - I’ve done a speed test that’s coming back at 32, but I can’t connect on my devices, also whilst watching Netflix/Prime it’s buffering. Could you arrange a booster for me so I can give that a try before finding a new provider?

  • LynLawrensonCNS LynLawrenson (@LynLawrensonCNS) reported from Pilling, England

    @bt_uk Outage but for how long??

  • jdnwils Jordan Wilson (@jdnwils) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @btsport going on about Randolph like he's never played football before. Pretty sure he's an international and has bags of premier league experience. @themoderndaygk what do you think?

  • franners82 frances whitehead (@franners82) reported from Garstang, England

    I thinking finding a needle in a haystack would be easier than finding the login page to watch #btsport online @btsportfootball @btsport #impossible #bestkeptsecretever

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi, I’ve had an ongoing issue with a home move since last week. Apparently it’s being dealt with - this morning I’ve just received an email asking if I want the move cancelled. I don’t. I’m in the property. I’ve been messaging about this for some days now.

  • thewolstencroft Michael Wolstencroft (@thewolstencroft) reported from Southport, England

    Been without broadband for a month, BT complaints team meant to ring today before 14:30 obviously no call. Currently on hold for 15 minutes. Absolute joke of a service @bt_uk

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk Well, it looks like I’m getting a new account set up. No idea why as I have correspondence to the new address about my move. As long as I don’t lose service.

  • sgx12 Stuart Graham (@sgx12) reported from Longridge, England

    @bt_uk hi, is there an issue accessing subscription internet channels on BT TV. I have VIP package on 2 MyView boxes, both are showing status as connected to internet, however I cannot access any subscription channels (I.e. Now TV, BT Sports) on either box. Help?

  • BaptistBecker1 Spezza (@BaptistBecker1) reported from Southport, England

    Just seem a few snippets from the @btsport punditry panel after the game last night. Thank **** I was at anfield and not listening to that

  • TruckSM24 Graham Burton (@TruckSM24) reported from Blackburn, England

    @bt_uk a communication company that doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Disgraceful service.

  • LynLawrensonCNS LynLawrenson (@LynLawrensonCNS) reported from Pilling, England

  • Mairebc 🌗🌍 MrsC 🌎🌓 (@Mairebc) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve just read your pinned tweet. Let’s hope it is fixed sooner, we pay enough for the service

  • d_b_young David Ben Young (@d_b_young) reported

    @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach you guys really need to learn to communicate as companies the stress you've put me and my family under is not necessary. No service cancelling appointments with no reason. Hopeless

  • peasmoldia Gary James Actor 🎭 (@peasmoldia) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you. The problem is the criminals evade blocking filters with random generated addresses. Some divert to junk, but in recent months the problem has got out of control. This needs providers to act, track & stop at source. I’m so fed up I may delete my account totally. 😵‍💫

  • _Coxinator77 Chris Cox 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@_Coxinator77) reported

    Called BT last week to upgrade my phone. Seemed to go smooth and even upgraded my broadband too. Had nothing but problems since then. I've tried calling @bt_uk every day and the issues haven't been resolved. Getting very tiresome.

  • loued52 Louise Edwards (@loued52) reported

    Hey @btbusinesscare how do I submit a complaint please? We’re getting bills sent to us for the previous owners & we don’t use your services. The call centre was horrific to deal with - they wouldn’t deviate from their script & couldn’t help me at all!!

  • judes_t jt (@judes_t) reported

    @bt_uk I need the industry to pause and see this is not easy OR SAFE for every home right now! There are issues. There is a lack of knowledge in those dealing with customers (apart from David who helped me from BT... he actually listened).

  • LaurenMattthews Lauren 👸🏼✨ (@LaurenMattthews) reported

    @bt_uk not to mention the internet’s ridiculously slow and freezes constantly. Need some assistance URGENTLY because I need to work

  • helga140465 Helen Grant (@helga140465) reported

    @bt_uk Yes and the data between two routers aren’t working! Too tired tonight so will message you Tom…we’ve had trouble with BT from the start!
