    @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?

  • 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.

  • nimopr1 Nimesh Patel (@nimopr1) reported from Preston, England

  • 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.

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

    Absolutely awful service from @bt_uk 👎🏻👎🏻

  • MartinAbell17 Martin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@MartinAbell17) reported

    What use are @bt_uk when you can’t complain or communicate an issue on line. Why am I paying £60 pm for sub standard product and service

  • FrazerMax Max Frazer Douglas (@FrazerMax) reported

    @virginmedia surely on day one you should have sent a technician round for a paying customer. @bt_uk how quick can you change a package over please as virgin media is an utter disgrace and my grandma is literally crying, we need to respect her generation 🙁

  • sov_scot Rab Gordon (@sov_scot) reported

    @JoonesNorma @Holdfast214 @bt_uk That is a good solution if you get a good 3 signal. Might be even cheaper from Smarty which uses 3..

  • malcolm_purvis Malcolm Purvis (@malcolm_purvis) reported

    @Marcotti was wondering if Italian commentators are as bad as British ones. Took 1 minute of play on btsport tonight in the Man U game for the comms to use the term 'Spanish inquisition'. Other cliches are available *groan*

  • simper7s1 Aaron Simper (@simper7s1) reported

    Thanks @bt_uk , broadband has been down since 7am this morning, when I notified them, and can’t get engineer until tomorrow. Guess I’ll watch paint dry until then . 750mb guaranteed by the way and not the first time either . Bargain. #shouldhavewentwithsky
