    Out of the 10 main card fighters at UFC 246, 7 lost their last fight. Can you believe this shit is on PPV #UFC246 #BTBoxOffice #UFC #Conor #ConorMcGregor #DonaldCerrone #BTsport

  • Simmy270 Josh (@Simmy270) reported from Longton, England

    @bt_uk Nobody else games or owns a desktop so I'm not sure tbh. It's been a common issue for a while. I have spoken to a few people whom also have the same issue. There's also 100's of posts online about it. Trying to game is virtually impossible the second someone boots Netflix.

  • MissBKearns Beth Kearns (@MissBKearns) reported from Banks, England

    Hi @bt_uk in appreciate that you are really busy at the moment but I really need some help regarding a change of circumstances with moving home. I was on hold for 5 hours yesterday, 2.5 today, have tried using the app and have sent a DM. Please can you help me as soon as you can

  • 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

  • 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?

  • MarcSchmid Marc Schmid (@MarcSchmid) reported from Kirkham, England

    @bt_uk internet not working in PR4 - is this a localised issue?

  • MandiJT Me (@MandiJT) reported from Brinscall, England

    @JohnWoodbridge6 @piersmorgan @bt_uk If you shut down BT call centres , you shut down the 999 service

  • FreakDanceUK FreakDanceUK (@FreakDanceUK) reported from Blackburn, England

    @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

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

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

  • mckenziek234 Keith McKenzie (@mckenziek234) reported

    @bt_uk Not sorted, still waiting for a firmware fix from BT, which apparently is being worked on?...

  • tjmidega Janet Midega (@tjmidega) reported

    @virginmedia I called and whoever I spoke to still insists that it has to be paid. Unfair. I was a @bt_uk customer for 11 years. Never had to deal with this type of nonsense. As soon as this contract Is over I will be back to my @bt_uk

  • gettinOLD1946 Eric (@gettinOLD1946) reported

    @btsport Never been a fan of Robbie Savage but I really feel sorry for the guy my only advice would be to get out of football and anything to do with it this kind of abuse is never going to change or go away !!!

  • dannoutt Danny Costa (@dannoutt) reported

    @melodiouscode @bt_uk Nothing special needed apart from the login settings for the connection (link to follow). Bear in mind you only get 1 IP address so you probably need to do the switch after your router. Yeah, I've been there trying to get answers out of providers... Geeks must stick together lol

  • VALLANCE_GAMING VALLANCE (@VALLANCE_GAMING) reported

    @bt_uk I'm with EE but will be dropping them as soon as Lightning Fibre implement their service in my area. 50MB down, 10MB up for 1GB down and up. Can't wait

  • Murci_UK earlysnares (@Murci_UK) reported

    @ChrisFergy @IanKelly1987 @btsport So the solution lies within the people being abused, not the abusers? That’s a really interesting take

  • gdkilkenny Goose (@gdkilkenny) reported

    @bt_uk really shocking service from BT. Organised a home move two weeks ago, twice I was ‘assured’ the broadband would be activated by May 5th,again on May6th and today May7th. Engineer didn’t have my number? How can this oversight happen when I’ve had three separate phone calls

  • missbebarnes B (@missbebarnes) reported

    @bt_uk internet keeps dropping for days now!! Reset the box and will go blue and keep going orange. Help!

  • dissposablehero Dissposablehero (@dissposablehero) reported

    @bt_uk My hybrid router only has one bar of signal (and that's after I bought my own antennas, before it didn't get any signal at all). Is there anything else I can do to improve signal? Tried a couple other places in the house but no joy. Worried it won't work when we need it to.

  • royconnelly Roy Connelly (@royconnelly) reported

    @jloaderartist @bt_uk BT closed my account and let Sky take over my line 4 months ago when my house was for sale. Nothing but problems since then - on my third account and 5th hub now. Using mobile internet to get by.
