  • Gavinallen Gavin Allen (@Gavinallen) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport make it as hard as possible to leave. No way to cancel via the app, live chatbot says it can’t perform that function. BT person on phone says I have to call my bank to put a bar on the DD they set up. How does a company with service this bad have any customers?

  • 4rickus4 Jack Rickus (@4rickus4) reported from Saint Nicholas, Wales

    @EE a few weeks back I could watch BTSport on my Xbox or Fire TV, now I can do neither without being told I need to upgrade my subscription. Can you help please?

  • MissESilcox MissESilcox (@MissESilcox) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The ref and VAR taking so long to come to a decision has broken @btsport #Victory #ALeague

  • ippyfuzion Leon Ip (@ippyfuzion) reported from Newport, Wales

    @bt_uk No known issue. Since there was BT van outside my home doing some sort of upgrade on the copper wires of the area. Internet been very poor. Already replaced router twice. When gaming on PC with ethernet cable plug in and someone makes a WhatsApp call my ping spikes to 500ms!

  • julianevans11 Julian Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@julianevans11) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk How about you just provide the service we’re paying for…

  • Natalieball1984 NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service to my mum who had shielded since March 2020! She can't use BT sports anymore and BT are saying £130+ to remove it!! She doesn't have any money! She is stressed, immune compromised and BT drop this on her! Shameful!

  • darth_noga Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Hanlccook Han🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Hanlccook) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hey there! No it’s still not working 🥺 however, I’m moving out of my house tomorrow and Into my new one. I’ve already spoke to an advisor about this a few weeks back but I’m not sure what to do? There’s no point ringing for an engineer when I’m moving. Shall we DM?

  • RedhillsAnnie Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Sean4Llandaff @cardiffcouncil There is work happening updating the @bt_uk network on Ely Rd. The newly multi-patched surfaces are now uneven trip hazards. In France councils coordinate with utilities, so that the paths are not lifted and patched continuously. Can we do better?

  • martzreed1975 Martz (@martzreed1975) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • Hanlccook Han🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Hanlccook) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @bt_uk the light on my hub is purple and has been all afternoon. I’ve turned it on and off multiple times. Still no internet. Can someone help me please!

  • AdamLee2011 Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

    Bt sport not working on virgin media 😡 #Btsport #virginmedia

  • johnsey80 Steve Johns (@johnsey80) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    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

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

    @bt_uk having trouble with our home broadband. Have followed your advice on texting a number, but no reply & still the same. Also, can't access own account either, even after pin number for resetting password. Can you please assist? Is there any phone number I can ring? Thanks.

  • GhGriff27 Gavin (@GhGriff27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport I can't access my bt sport app. I pay for "Large Screen" on my phone to cast to my tv but have not been able to use it. Please help.

  • BigBernie4 Greg (Big Bernie) MW7BUF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇵🇸 (@BigBernie4) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @bt_uk no service all afternoon in the NP19 7LT area. Checked the status page, no known issues apparently. Tried to speak with an advisor, and there are none available. What's happening please?

  • TheExiledRobin The Exiled Robin (@TheExiledRobin) reported from Llantrisant, Wales

    If it wasn’t bad enough watching this it’s made so much worse with this TV coverage. Please never let BT Sport have cricket again 😩 @btsport #ashes @Channel7

  • GerJDav Gerald J Davies (@GerJDav) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @bt_uk @btbusinesscare Any chance you can help @btbusinesscare ? It’s so annoying

BT (British Telecom) Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • kayblow76 Kay Akeredolu (@kayblow76) reported

    Not sure why @SkySports @btsport keep showing #MUFC game. It’s a piss poor club with an atrociously low-key coach. If you think Utd not firing all cylinders cos of strikers need to see a doc. City are playing without strikers but scoring for fun! It’s a coaching issue #CRYMUN

  • WishartBill Bill Wishart (@WishartBill) reported

    @btsport @clairebalding I can't believe you've just declared that England won Hockey gold in the 2016 Olympics. Poor show!@

  • pedrowells Pedro ⚔️ (@pedrowells) reported

    **** off @btsport that is not a red card. Talk all the bollocks you want, it isn’t. The @premierleague are cheats end of #SHUAVL

  • mkpiano Matthew (@mkpiano) reported

    @PhilMou @btsport @SkySports Just the sky for me and use my dad’s login for BT on the laptop. Purely for the CL. But many times each week I ask myself why I’m paying for boring ‘massive top 6’ meetings that almost always end in 0-0. Gimme the Irish league any day. Honest players.

  • davestow1 Dave Stow (@davestow1) reported

    The @bt_uk agent was professional, friendly, helpful, and entirely *not* patronising when it came to the technology. She checked the line history and agreed it had been stable and then really unstable in the last few days. She re-arranged the engineer around by covid jab.

  • InterSol32 Inter Sol (@InterSol32) reported

    @hushmail @bt_uk Hey @bt_uk you must sort this..I’m paying you to provide me a service..

  • mcwadedan Daniel Mcwade (@mcwadedan) reported

    @bt_uk hey bt any advice on why my Internet seems to be fluctuating between download speeds of normal 65 down to 15? Super helpful while playing games 😭

  • CroninTrudy Trudy Cronin (@CroninTrudy) reported

    @bt_uk hi BT! How can I extend the WiFi in my house? We live in a two story, detached house and the WiFi signal is very, very weak upstairs. Any ideas how we can boost this? We have a BT router, which is only about a year old.

  • hockleyharris Jonathan Harris (@hockleyharris) reported

    @bt_uk as an existing customer your tv ad is really annoying. My 16mb broadband cost me £43.50 per month. Way, way, way more than the offer price and even the post offer price. Ever felt #rippedoff ? @BBCWatchdog

  • kirstie000 Kirstie Ali (@kirstie000) reported

    Atrocious customer service. I asked for a balance refund not to set up a payment plan! You owe me hundreds of pounds and obviously have my bank details. Time to leave @BTCare
