    @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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

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

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

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

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

  • 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?

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

    @bt_uk If you provided the service I’m paying for I wouldn’t have to use my mobile data. I’m meant to be working from home tonight and tomorrow night. Do you want to tell my boss I can’t because I don’t have sufficient internet access??

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Smilers_Coffee Rich M (@Smilers_Coffee) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    @btbusinesscare Bt business 0800800156 they said they would call back if the line got disconnected. No call back was received. I'd like to cancel the service please as I was hoping to postpone the installation but after a disappointing experience would prefer not to continue with it

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • RebIrvine Rebecca Irvine (@RebIrvine) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk on our 30th cal day with no Internet; BT advisors have stated the fault is with @OpenreachHelp but your Internal systems are not talking to oneanother effectively leaving us with no information on the nature of the problem. The estimated fix date goes up weekly. Ideas?

    @VodafoneUK @bt_uk having terrible trouble with Vodafone after 4 months edit looking to cancel and with you, what’s your estimated wait time for an install, do you use @CityFibre

  • louiseh85772960 Louise Harrison (@louiseh85772960) reported

    @bt_uk So you would be able to install quicker than @VodafoneUK, what’s you worst case if there is work involved

  • andy_rostron Andy Rostron 🥃☸️💚🇪🇺 (@andy_rostron) reported

    @bt_uk No point Paddy. I’ve had this debate for the last 15 years where BT have consistently reduced the guaranteed minimum speed from a depressing 5mbps to a woeful 0.5mbps and I’m supposed to grateful for paying £50pm for a practically useless service. 1/2

  • ArtByClare Original Art ByClare (@ArtByClare) reported

    @bt_uk Is there a problem with ITV hub? Keeps coming out if the app and won't resume play. Very annoying. Was the same last night too.

  • MMA_Stig Brian Discombe 🥋 (@MMA_Stig) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, I recently updated the firmware to the latest version and since then had numerous issues with discs dropping connection and going offline. Multiple restarts haven't helped. Need to know how to revert to previous firmware version which worked perfectly.

  • Joe85123068 Joey Numbers (@Joe85123068) reported

    @NoPartyJustUSA @WBCBaseball @btsport That sucks! When will these buffoons get it that the more they show on tv the more fans they'll have? I just don't get it at all

  • ferengibob Robert Dalton (@ferengibob) reported

    @SkyUK Don’t buy SKY Glass, stick with your old television and get a puck or even go to @TalkTalk or @bt_uk . I’m having a nightmare with these guys even through there “Priority Team”. I’ve had problems ranging from cosmetic damage screen problems all I want is a working tele!

  • omitbdf Peter Charles (@omitbdf) reported

    @bt_uk Just had a ludicrous conversation with your chat service about my orders.

  • alickie66 alickie (@alickie66) reported

    @bt_uk Absolute joke of a company. Customer service non existent. Their sole aim is to get your money. Once they have it they simply will not care what level of service you get or whether they are not providing one to you at all.

  • MillerMi10 Michael Miller (@MillerMi10) reported

    @bt_uk What’s going on in Longwell Green? Broadband so slow and barely working.
