    @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!

    @bt_uk Outage but for how long??

  • mister__roy Roy Bayfield (@mister__roy) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @bt_uk They're still coming thick and fast. Is there a possibility of a human intervention to stop them? I will happily cancel the upgrade if that what it takes to end the pestering.

  • matthornby MattH (@matthornby) reported from Blackburn, England

    @bt_uk who do we contact to sort out the phone line at my Grandma's house, a building site next to hers has brought the wire down. She has been off since last Wednesday, had 2 engineers here and still hasn't been reconnected!! Also told to cancel her holiday

    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

  • 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?

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

    @bt_uk what's happening with broadband in PR3 ?? Outage seems likely

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • samihowarth sami (@samihowarth) reported from Brinscall, England

    @bt_uk Not very helpful as that’s for broadband and phone line. I have no signal on my mobile phone?

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

  • 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 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.

  • Howardmicks Howard Saurin (@Howardmicks) reported from Preston, England

    @btsport @SkyHelpTeam bt sports ultimate ?? On sky really...Big let down could at least update your customers what's going on......disgrace

  • 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.

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

  • ScouseBirdBlogs Steph Johnson - 🌹 (@ScouseBirdBlogs) reported

    levels through the roof because I haven’t complained about that and I have to re explain that every day. They then tell me to speak to retentions which I have done HENCE why the complaint is raised. @bt_uk I HATE taking things to Twitter but for the love of god stop being so ****

  • Chelsea_ej Chelsea🐶 (@Chelsea_ej) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve just given up at this point! Just get excuses when we ring up. Honestly the worst internet we’ve ever had

  • LookoutPoint2 Lookout Point (@LookoutPoint2) reported

    @nsummers1234 @bt_uk We need to swap engineers. I have the opposite problem.

  • IAmAWomble3 😷 (@IAmAWomble3) reported

    @bt_uk You sent a new router to my parents in their 70s who can’t fit it, they have a terrible connection in their home, the engineer didn’t turn up to an appt then they found out he wouldn’t be going at all! When will your policy change, pls, so grandkids can chat properly?

  • lochs_and_glens lochsandglens (@lochs_and_glens) reported

    @bt_uk Worst customer service EVER!

  • Belindascandal Belinda Scandal 🐝 (@Belindascandal) reported

    @bt_uk My impression of BT is very low . I haven’t used the fix service , I can’t believe to this day you allow people to pay more for a lesser service in exactly the same area,

  • AndreBoulanger Andrew Baker (#highlightbrexitlies) (@AndreBoulanger) reported

    @SebStJohn1 @bt_uk I know that Open Reach are doing various update works in the TW area, ie more than one van at locations. Has there been any road disrepair issue related to the freezing in ur area? Does changing the signal channel on your bt online dashboard improve things? fibre cable?

  • JasStron Jason S (@JasStron) reported

    @ScouseBirdBlogs @bt_uk It's bad times when the only way to get anything resolved is to call companies out in public. But if it works, it works.

  • GuillArchi Guillaume Bergeron (@GuillArchi) reported

    @bt_uk No thanks, that is fine, problem solved.

  • TimothyDRCarr Tim Carr (@TimothyDRCarr) reported

    @virginmedia it’s an absolutely disgraceful service and they will miss out on a deal because of your lack of customer focus. You have have an opportunity to resolve this or she will go to @bt_uk or @SkyUK
