  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • savigar_michael Michael savigar (@savigar_michael) reported from Leyland, England

    @TheRunningManZ @OpenreachHelp @bt_uk I remember when we had them down our street I had internet problem even though iam with plus net .

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

    @bt_uk Outage but for how long??

  • grieve51166 Helen Grieve 🇬🇧 (@grieve51166) reported from Southport, England

    @bt_uk Likely. Until a few weeks ago, you were charging us double the rate we'd agreed, just for having a landline we never used.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Monica10203756 Miss Monica hates Kirsty Butler@pdsa (@Monica10203756) reported

    @bt_uk Just been told by my mum that you have credited £8.06 for not fixing her phone within 2days. So the fact it was nearer 6 days and you were keeping updated by leaving messages on a phone that's not working has been ignored. Again well done for rubbish customer service.

  • SmarProcurement David Hall (@SmarProcurement) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    For me @btsport have taken the mantle from @talkSPORT for the worst cricket coverage. Matt Smith is a good football presenter but is clearly not a cricket follower and the commentary they are using from Fox is terrible. If @bbctms can send their to team to Australia why not BT?

  • liambutcher Liam ⚡️ (@liambutcher) reported

    @bt_uk hey, one of your customers mistakenly put my email address in, and I’ve been receiving all of their details, address, etc. I called and reported last week, but it’s still happening. Can you remove my email from that customer? Seems like a data protection issue!

  • 1967Mjoz mjoz (@1967Mjoz) reported

    @bt_uk why can’t by. Deliver a good signal very poor service as an engineer who I took a day off for never even turned up disappointed isn’t a strong enough word

  • TypicalJackie_ Jackie Balchin (@TypicalJackie_) reported

    @bt_uk @bt_uk I sent my old kit back and can see it was delivered to you on the 5th but had a text from you on Friday saying you don' t have it. Can you help?

  • Garethlight Gareth Light (@Garethlight) reported

    @btsport #ashes commentary is absolutely terrible. I know it’s the Australian coverage but @SkyCricket are able to do this remotely why can’t you? At least offer to synchronise with #TMS @tmsproducer please 🙏🙏🙏

  • GhoulMrs 👻MrsGhoul👻🤘 (@GhoulMrs) reported

    I honestly can't stand @btsport #AshesTest #Ashes talk about biased crap. Get English commentators on for godsake

  • Nicket_S Nicket (@Nicket_S) reported

    @btsportcricket @btsport That looks bad…hope he is okay. 👍🏼

  • ChristianBav Christian Baverstock (@ChristianBav) reported

    @bt_uk whole street FTTP is down (checked with neighbours), north Emmbrook, Wokingham. Have reported a fault our end (red LOS light on Openreach modem). Any idea if this has been accepted as a major area fault as yet?

  • AIFaulkner930 Andrea Faulkner (@AIFaulkner930) reported

    @bt_uk how is it acceptable leaving old people without phonelines, welfare team checked line remotely and said it’s all good, we went through this Thursday and the call out yesterday never happened and now they can’t send someone til Tuesday… not happy!
