  • 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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • 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.

  • 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 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?

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

    @bt_uk hi any indication when customer access to br email will be restored?

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported from Slough, England

    @bt_uk lost faith in BT ,rang BT yesterday by chance , only to find out that in December, a BT customer service advisor, only extended my contract until a further year without my permission, how bad is that, honestly I have lost my Trust with BT, people watch out.

  • jill_lyttle Jill Lyttle (@jill_lyttle) reported from East Ardsley, England

    Champions league back on the screens of everyone in the UK today....Give @Tyson_Fury that damn air time he deserves for Saturday @BTSportBoxing @btsport @btsportfootball 🙌🏽🙌🏽

  • jlarsson89 Johan Larsson (@jlarsson89) reported from Eltham, England

    @bt_uk Actually you can, you just won't because of company policy. Any ISP that actually gives a shit about being an ISP would've sorted everything out in at most 3 business days. Yours sincerely, "Jonah"

  • jlarsson89 Johan Larsson (@jlarsson89) reported from Eltham, England

    @bt_uk Wireless, exactly the same way it was before I was forced to get a new identical account with the same users doing the same things without issues. My ms goes from the 20s to in the thousands in semi-regular intervals regardless of time of day or other usage.

  • jlarsson89 Johan Larsson (@jlarsson89) reported from Eltham, England

    @bt_uk still having latency issues which I assume you will claim are routine, speeds are fine and as expected but the important thing for a connection is reliability, I'm still getting lag spikes and dropped connections from both online games and voip. Yes, my settings are fine.

  • wilson_76 Neil Wilson (@wilson_76) reported from Chelmsford, England

    And the broadband goes down again........awesome stuff @bt_uk that’s double figures this year already. Shocking service as always........

  • GavBaileyLFC Gav Bailey ✋☝️ (@GavBaileyLFC) reported from Melksham, England

    @charlhennessy1 @bt_uk The same happened to my sister. It sucks! Well if VM ever come into the area, give me a DM & I'll sort you out a good deal. I'm a Network Engineer for them & can get you on mates rates. 👍

  • Lottievr4 Charlotte Read (@Lottievr4) reported from Colchester, England

    @Greg__Holmes @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I raised a complaint with them last week about my broadband constantly dropping out, heard nothing until they sent me a text just to say my complaint is closed! No investigation, no communication. Useless.
