    Hey @bt_uk there is a line fault at my mother in law's in CW7 3 (winsford). Her emergency call button is connected to line. Can you prioritise this fault if possible? Thanks!

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

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

  • 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?

  • YorkLassinLancs Yorkshire Lass (@YorkLassinLancs) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @bt_uk I have had a complaint in about my below performance broadband since Oct. it’s an insult that your current advert promises so much when I can’t get what I am paying for now. How do I get one person’s contact details to get this resolved??

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Think @bt_uk and @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp are trolling us now. 12th day with no phone or broadband. Date keeps slipping, now to 6th September. I phone they say they'll be doing it today. Engineer in our cabinet knows nothing. Vans all around area. No fix. Sick. Of. This.

  • 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

  • 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 👍

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

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

  • 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?

  • MrsW64242123 @MrsW (@MrsW64242123) reported from Penwortham, England

    @BTCare any indication When customer access to email will be restored?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Just been told by @bt_uk that @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp won't be able to fix our fault (caused by them changing telegraph pole) until tomorrow. That'll be 8 days without service. Incredible. #openreach

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • cdfalexander Colin Alexander🎬🎵🕹️🚗🏃 (@cdfalexander) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    4 days without a phoneline or broadband since @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach changed our telegraph pole last week. I realise it is a #FirstWorldProblem but terrible service and communication from a huge Comms company. Also the pole isnt straight!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

    @bt_uk Is there an option to cancel your contract without penalty?

  • chrishew08 Chris Hewitson (@chrishew08) reported

    @bt_uk awful service last couple of days. No broadband for over a day now, i work from home and yes they sent me a 4g hub, which pumps out shocking signal and im actually better of connected to my phone. Also, no fault resolution date and openreach are now on strike. Shocking!

  • AILAHT0909 Algar Goredema-Braid (@AILAHT0909) reported

    @bt_uk Interesting to see this ad on my timeline. 6 days without internet & no fix date - I for one won’t be renewing my contract. The customer experience has been abysmal. Blocking the advert

  • martijnderoo Martijn de Roo (@martijnderoo) reported

    @bt_uk She is on this plan from this week but she can also apply for the low-cost plan retrospectively since you failed to offer this in 2021 and she has been paying far more than needed so you mis-sold the old contract and never mentioned this option, correct? @MartinSLewis @Ofcom

  • AILAHT0909 Algar Goredema-Braid (@AILAHT0909) reported

    @TheeRedSilence @bt_uk Awful

  • reidybafc Barrovian (@reidybafc) reported

    @bt_uk @LAMTownsend Been without internet connection since yesterday afternoon in South Cumbria. It's having an impact on work etc.. It seems to be a problem up and down the country, any update please?

  • JimNewcomb7 Jim (@JimNewcomb7) reported

    @bt_uk So you no there are problems an offer this - For any Apple device, it's important to not only update your password in the main device settings, but also in the SMTP settings. If you don't do this, you won't be able to send emails - without explain how to? USELESS what are SMTP?

  • DanteHarker Dante Harker 🦄 (@DanteHarker) reported

    @bt_uk No, I'd rather you feed back to your Dev team that your website isn't customer friendly. I've had to ring and get the issue sorted, thanks.

  • SouthZeal Sheena Davies (@SouthZeal) reported

    @bt_uk ignoring us doesn’t fix the problem. Please provide an update.
