    @bt_uk wow amazed with the shambles of customer service and lack of help this company has provided! Charging-no joke 15x more then actually price it should be/stated by them in the phone call! Wait for it! still not resolving the issue now since January @MoneyTelegraph #ombudsman

  • 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.

    @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?

  • 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.

  • DannyBuble Danny Bublé (@DannyBuble) reported from Wrightington, England

    @bt_uk hi, once again our internet is down in WN6 and has been for more than 24 hours. Please advise and don't take 6 days like you did last time. Cheers 👍

  • 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.

  • AntoniChm Antoni Chmielowski (@AntoniChm) reported from Southport, England

    @bt_uk how long until the national broadband problem gets fixed? TIA

  • Woodlin37 Karl Watson (@Woodlin37) reported from Chorley, England

  • 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

  • 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?

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

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

  • AlastairMurray8 Alastair Murray (@AlastairMurray8) reported from Preston, England

    . @bt_uk awful once again. Service is now officially a week late.

    @IsabelOakeshott @bt_uk I'm sure you will have no problem affording it

  • henderson_exp Chris (@henderson_exp) reported

    @bt_uk what’s the best way of finding out when the engineer is coming to my house? My internet here is so poor, I’ve been unable to work this afternoon. I scheduled a visit last week but I really can’t wait much longer

  • HawkeColin Colin Hawke (@HawkeColin) reported

    @bt_uk I’m a BT Broadband customer. I want to acquire an eSIM on a SIM-only basis. Are you able to help?

  • Kaazz_Mufc Kaazz (@Kaazz_Mufc) reported

    They removed the Manchester United game from BT Sport tonight because they knew the game would get more viewers than the two champions league games. **** you @btsport

  • Sara_latif1 Sara Abdellatif (@Sara_latif1) reported

    @bt_uk @BTGroup WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! CUSTOMER FOR 3 WEEKS PAID 30 POUNDS AND SAW NOTHING TILL NOW!! YOUR AGENTS HAVE NO CLUE. YOUR ENGINEERS DO NOT EXIST. NO ONE MAKES THE SAME MISTAKE AS I DID. DO NOT#SUBSCRIBE TO BT. EVER !!

  • letemcome69 Dan Morley (@letemcome69) reported

    @FootyLimbs Here you go @SkySports @btsport people don’t want to see ‘the players’ at these moments, they want to see Dave the plasterer rolling down the stairs, Mark the Sparky jumping all over 6 people he doesn’t know. Paul the scaffolder giving it the home end! Get with it.

  • loobylou470 Lisa 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🐶⚽️🍺 (@loobylou470) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia So you've just admitted you've had an increase in custom, meaning an increase in profits, yet I and other customers have to pay for you to expand your network? Greedy, greedy, greedy. Pay for it yourselves. Just seen the same package thru @bt_uk for £21 a month less. Bye

  • HudspithAdam Adam Hudspith (@HudspithAdam) reported

    @IsabelOakeshott @gsmith1959 @bt_uk WiFi has very little to do with your ISP (and addition- ALL ISP provided routers are garbage). If you have poor reception just stick a few repeaters around the house. Even better get a Nighthawk or LinkSys 1900AC and use that as a VPN pass through to somone like CyberGhost.

  • Ukfirst5 Ukfirst (@Ukfirst5) reported

    @IsabelOakeshott @bt_uk ..but the service has not improved by 9%... Broadband should have a single price for everyone. Once the infrastructure is set up it should be a single UK wide price. Too much marketing spend by current suppliers

  • Sara_latif1 Sara Abdellatif (@Sara_latif1) reported

    @bt_uk I will do that Claire. But I lost all hope with BT. three weeks of unfulfilled promises. Long calls. No solution. Each agent gives me a promise. I call the next day I found that request is cancelled and I need to book again and again appointments.
