  • 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.

  • nazliclaire Claire Joseph (@nazliclaire) reported

    @bt_uk still waiting for kit so can connect and thanks to delays I may lose my job. Very bad service from BT

  • oxosbase john oxley (@oxosbase) reported

    If these football pundits are so good and know so much why aren’t they all football coaches in top teams. After every match they tells us what the teams did right and what was wrong and how to fix it. These people are wasted on TV. #SkySports #MOTD #BTsport

  • theandybrace Andrew Brace (@theandybrace) reported

    @BTCare I want to cancel my BT Sport without having to use telephone.

  • joshshepo Josh Shepherd (@joshshepo) reported

    @btshopuk @bt_uk i need help with my order how can i contact you?

  • litildevil Sam (@litildevil) reported

    @bt_uk Will give them a try thank you, but after the call yesterday I started shopping around and has been a real eye opener. In terms of what others are offering. I’m a loyal customer and not worried about a few pounds here or there. But when things are cheaper for new customers 😳

  • MarkQueenan Mark Queenan (@MarkQueenan) reported

    @markhoundhine @bt_uk Mate I thought @virginmedia were bad, after reading this I think I’ll stay put! And I take it all back!

  • nazliclaire Claire Joseph (@nazliclaire) reported

    @bt_uk 40 mins waiting for someone to answer a call and in the end I had to hang up. I need my WiFi and to be able to work.

  • EMihlenstedt Emma Mihlenstedt (@EMihlenstedt) reported

    @bt_uk I have finally spoken to someone going through the home move number rather than customer services. I would advise everyone does that it took 2 seconds for them to answer

  • litildevil Sam (@litildevil) reported

    @bt_uk Will give them a try thank you, but after the call yesterday I started shopping around and have been a real eye opener. I’m quite a local customer and not worried about a few pounds here or there. But when you see things are cheaper for new customers it’s disappointing
