    @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.

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

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

    Absolutely awful service from @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.

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

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 👍

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • LymoTweetUp #LymoTweetUp 💚 (@LymoTweetUp) reported from Lymington, England

    @bt_uk do you have any issues with internet in the SO41 postcode please ?

  • craftyandcute Joanna (@craftyandcute) reported from Derbyshire, England

    Appalled that @bt_uk are so uncaring in the event of a death in the family. Closing down an email account that I need to access to help sort my darling dad’s many other accounts is so unhelpful and causing me undue distress at the worst possible time. Will never use them again.

  • Ant_Lock77 🅰🅽🆃 (@Ant_Lock77) reported from Leeds, England

    Unbelievably poor internet service yet again today. Making working from home extremely difficult and frustrating. @bt_uk you are robbing us blind with what we pay for this ridiculously poor service.

  • zcherrybaby Zoe Harrison (@zcherrybaby) reported from Derbyshire, England

    @bt_uk we are having severe connection issues this morning is there an issue in the DE22 region we have of course done all the usual checks!

  • OHspecialist Tim Ellis (@OHspecialist) reported from Market Bosworth, England

    @BTCare so I move home on Friday but can’t have my service connected for a few days; I’ve been sent a BTMinihub but it’s not connected; do I assume it starts working on Friday?

  • k13r4n_thomson kieran eric thomson (@k13r4n_thomson) reported from Aberdeen, Scotland

  • k13r4n_thomson kieran eric thomson (@k13r4n_thomson) reported from Aberdeen, Scotland

    Tonight's stream is cancelled. I can't host a stream the internet is so poor just now I'm working on trying to sort it but I refuse to let it win so if your angry make your voices heard to @bt_uk and @OpenreachHelp @WeAreOpenreach as they thing sub 8mbps in 2020 is acceptable

  • Ant_Lock77 🅰🅽🆃 (@Ant_Lock77) reported from Leeds, England

    @bt_uk After 5 years of the same terrible service and numerous complaints I doubt very much that you will be able to look into it very far, our entire street suffers the same abysmal service. I will dm you though so you you can play lip service.

  • MrSifter_ Marky ™ (@MrSifter_) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk Your service is still ****

  • baldy100 Gregg Aston (@baldy100) reported from Gorebridge, Scotland

    @bt_uk Disappointing service again from BT. Nothing but hassle from the start and terrible coverage from router. 21 days since complaint email has been sent which has gone unanswered. Called today and found very unhelpful and only interested in selling further products. Avoid.
