    @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.

    @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?

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

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

    Absolutely awful service from @bt_uk 👎🏻👎🏻

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • nimopr1 Nimesh Patel (@nimopr1) reported from Preston, England

    Hi @btbusinesscare I need to open up ports 8013 & 7252 as they are causing issues with my credit card terminal. I have no idea how to do this please help.

  • VickyLeviten1 Vicky Leviten (@VickyLeviten1) reported

    @BTGroup @bt_uk Trying to switch to BT has been a nightmare so far. 1st engineer was stunningly rude. Rebook for today has resulted in half a job done. Have been promised call backs which haven’t happened. Have had agents hang up on me. How do I speak to someone who can help?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @SueMARKLEY9 @bt_uk Hi Sue, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • bella_caridade Bella Caridade-Ferreira (@bella_caridade) reported

    @bt_uk Yep. I've got the Monday blues. I've been waiting a month for you f**kwits to connect me to the outside world. No telephone and no broadband. It's a shameful, disgraceful service. You and @WeAreOpenreach just blame each other. #shambolicservice #BTiswoeful

  • SamuelJCarroll Samuel Carroll (@SamuelJCarroll) reported

    @bt_uk This happened today at 8am down cemetery junction in Reading he didn't even care about nearly hitting me

  • RCaitlin Robyn Caitlin (@RCaitlin) reported

    @bt_uk My partner has already spent over 5 hours on the phone to you across Thurs, Fri and today so unless you can bypass everything else and process the order instantly I don’t think DMing any details is going to fix this. Definitely want to cancel our contract as soon as possible.

  • ConstTraining Premier Construction Training (@ConstTraining) reported

    Disgraceful service from @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare 1.5 days wasted waiting for an engineer to connect broadband and not even a courtesy call, text or email to provide an update.

  • 68iron doug fox (@68iron) reported

    @bt_uk Hi David, yes I managed to get in, for some reason it will no longer allow log on through a VPN so had to disconnect that gain access, not sure why all of sudden the Vpn has become a problem as it has always previously worked fine.

  • bobski2410 Bobby Cott (@bobski2410) reported

    @bt_uk About as a sorry as your online team leader is?…if so, it’s not really of much use! I’ve wasted over 2 hours hour already trying to get to the bottom of the issue, I am unable to waste anymore time in hearing the same information being repeated via twitter as well.

  • RCaitlin Robyn Caitlin (@RCaitlin) reported

    Haven’t had internet since Thursday because @bt_uk didn’t actually process our house move. Was told on Thursday it would be 24hrs. On Friday was told 48hrs. This morning we’re told the order hasn’t even been placed yet and will be at least another 48hrs. What a **** show.

  • ImGingerMidget Eilidh Donaldson (@ImGingerMidget) reported

    @bt_uk Address: Pennycross Cottage, Pennyghael, Isle of Mull PA706HE Have spoken to the person dealing with our account today (after 2 calls to chase him up). No fix date
