    @btsport @btsportfootball what I would change in football. Cancel injury time and adopt rugby rules. Clock stops at half time and fulltime and whistle blows when ball out of play.

    I'm not a @bt_uk customer but spoke to Payel via their chat service today to help my sister out. Above and beyond customer service, a credit to the company. Thank you Payel & BT

  • DonKiano Don Maidment (@DonKiano) reported from Maesycwmmer, Wales

    @btsport The worst and toughest customer service experience I’ve ever had. 40 minutes of my life talking to an operator that had got no nearer to resolving my issue. Absolute awful service. Just ordered the monthly package tonight, paid £25. cancelled same night at a £25 loss

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • Npteggchaser Darren Little (@Npteggchaser) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @bt_uk not happy that my broadband upload speed has dropped by nearly 70%... As a key factor to paying for the service, this is unacceptable! 👎

  • jaisullivan Jai Sullivan (@jaisullivan) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MicrosoftHelps Hi, it was bought via @BTCare on 19/10/2020. The model is 1679 and it’s definitely not as a result of any settings issue. It’s a physical problem with the device.

    @bt_uk how many drop outs today! 9 times today we have lost our connection! Not good enough, sort out this ongoing issue! #BULLSHITBT

  • ChrisEders Chris Edwards (@ChrisEders) reported

    @bt_uk @BTGroup Question how is it acceptable for a 90-year-old lady who lives on her own to be 4x days without her landline? What happens if she has a fall and needs to call for help! The lack of empathy is shocking. Get it sorted NOW.

  • DarrenDevBT DarrenDevBT (@DarrenDevBT) reported

    @RogerKBrent1 @btsport You've tagged the wrong account ... need to tag @bt_uk if you want support. Looks like this is fixed now though. Can you confirm?

  • ley_leysmith Ley Smith (@ley_leysmith) reported

  • Hello_its_Bee Bridget James (@Hello_its_Bee) reported

    @OpenreachHelp We have tried to raise with @bt_uk who tell us that there is no one available to sort this out until 1st June. We have tried to escalate this, raise complaints and we are getting nowhere! HELP!

  • MazzardFarm Ruud Jansen Venneboer, Devon (@MazzardFarm) reported

    @bt_uk Wow, keep the bad ideas coming. Change phone number, yes why not? Oh, wait, we are a business and customers know our number.... Sorry, but I just get a really strong feel that BT can do a lot more. We're also on TPS, which seems to make no difference

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    Getting daily calls, claiming to be from @bt_uk yesterday was about an unpaid bill, today about upgrading internet. Apart from the fact I’ve never been with BT in my life, nor would I ever switch to them. The scammers are getting worse

  • Redlinegamingtv Redline (@Redlinegamingtv) reported

    When @bt_uk says your upload can't get more than 3.5 when clearly I been around 4.5 to 5 for months. Fed up with the service I get. Maybe move once contract finish

  • GBigkevin BigBadKev (@GBigkevin) reported

    Once again my @bt_uk TV is doing it own thing by tapping programs I don't watch but by unrecording it it stops tapping the programme on before it I would NEVER recommend BT TV it's not the first time I have had problems with it roll on contact end date 🤬🤬
