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

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

    If I hear the commentators say Atlanta for ATALANTA one more time I'm going to lose my ****!!!! @btsport #AtalantaPSG #Atalanta #PSG

  • AdamPlatt95 Adam Platt (@AdamPlatt95) reported from Chorley, England

    @bt_uk Absolutely fuming isn’t the word! Awful service since day 1! I rely on my broadband to heat my home due to having Hive. When my internet’s down I can heat my home. Causing significant health implications! #goodbye #awful #poor #shocking

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • sgx12 Stuart Graham (@sgx12) reported from Longridge, England

  • jimmywood3107 James319 (@jimmywood3107) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @TrylineUK @SkySports Hopefully we f**K them off coverage and presenting of our game has been a disgrace for a few year now, but we probz don't help ourselfs. I'd see what @btsport were offering before making any decisions over sky contract. I have no faith in Robert Elstone getting the contract.

  • emma_crowe8 Emma Crowe (@emma_crowe8) reported

    @bt_uk We’ve waited almost 5 weeks and our broadband still hasn’t been connected. WHAT IS GOING ON? We were supposed to receive a phone call yesterday but it never came. Really abysmal service.

  • bliprogers Matt Rogers (@bliprogers) reported

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp @Ofcom So day 22 and still not resolved. Some progress has been made though as finally managed to talk to somebody who has taken ownership of the issue plus compensation from August has been approved. Just need it switched on now

  • tkearins Tony Kearins (@tkearins) reported from Tilton, England

    @bt_uk dns issues with service in LE7. Can get to Google, can’t resolve bbc or Microsoft. No trace route response. Guessing you have issues?

  • ShuraShestakov Alex Shestakov 🔶 (@ShuraShestakov) reported

    @S_Hammond @bt_uk Yes, it's just unfortunate that you couldn't speak. Has nothing to do with the fact that your government with your support gave only 5 hours for the debate after refusing to extend the transition period.

  • peter_scrivener Peter Scrivener (@peter_scrivener) reported from Hoylake, England

    @bt_uk Thanks scott . I have spoken to customer services and they directed me to open reach

  • crispfan99 somerset smith (@crispfan99) reported

    @bt_uk The BT website is just terrible. Terrible. Just terrible.

  • robboNYC Robbo (@robboNYC) reported

    @bt_uk To be fair I’m not interested in any further token messages of apologies. I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time speaking to countless different people of the problem ! I’d suggest you read case records or as I suspect they are not maintained either

  • KushlasBySanaer ☘Adrian 🇪🇺 Madden ☘ (@KushlasBySanaer) reported from Brentford, England

    I've just been texting @bt_uk customer services and it turned out to be quite a straight-forward uncomplicated transaction. May need to sit down out of shock.

  • nighthawkgeoff Geoff Morris #MGWV (@nighthawkgeoff) reported

    @SkySports Try kicking out your biased kopite experts, at least Big nose has gone but you've still got Souness and Redknap and Warnock, least @BTsport try and be balanced, apart from whiney Mcmanaman, worst pundit on TV after Owen #yawn
