  • DUDSY31 BRYAN HEYWOOD (@DUDSY31) reported from South Shields, England

    @themichaelowen talking utter fkn shit!!! On @btsport on the other hand @mrjakehumphrey talks total sense! #nufc #newcastle #toon

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk As I have tried to explain, an update on a possible new start date 10 days after the promised start date really isn't the level of service I expect from BT.

  • MbShizzzle MBShizzzle (@MbShizzzle) reported from South Shields, England

    @SFC_Kristian @btsport @mrjakehumphrey He mate. He literally sounds gutted about the goals! Biased as ****

  • timtamw88 Tamara Watts (@timtamw88) reported from Blyth, England

    @bt_uk are the most incompetent company. I’m only a month into my contract and I want to cancel already. Terrible customer service, they just pass you to another dept and then your back to the start. I’ve never rang a company so much to get something sorted. #terrible

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Extremely dissatisfied. I've just moved, trying to get landline and broadband at my new house - promised for Monday 2nd, got landline on Friday 6th but still no broadband. Lots of excuses, might possibly be sorted on Thursday 12th. Very poor service.

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk I moved house in the last year - previously I had sky DSL - copper only and enjoyed better service - this shouldn't be the case. I have another property with VM Docsis service - again a better service - but your core network was built on low cost - 21CN - poor product choices.

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The light doesn't seem to change colour - yes the service is dropping out - I feel that there is either a degradation of pair quality or faulty termination equipment in the cabinet or exchange - there is definitely an issue.

  • John_P_Turner John Turner (@John_P_Turner) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Queried business bills, however, billing team are unwilling to discuss/explain the issues raised. Service has now been suspended and billing team refusing to engage without payment being made. This is nothing short of blackmail! @MoneyTelegraph @TimesBusiness

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @bt_uk hello, I've had an ongoing broadband instability issue for around 6 months - frequently when I'm using IP voice applications the service is disrupted - I've tried to raise a fault on this a number of times - help!!

  • Sturrock85 Andrew Sturrock (@Sturrock85) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    I presume the awful @btsport stream on @YouTube is a ploy to get people to subscribe. It's awful, despite what is usually a good connection.

  • joshybanyard Josh Banyard (@joshybanyard) reported from Longbenton, England

    As lovely as it is for @btsport too show the #ChampionsLeagueFinal for free but the stream is awful...

  • flipflops1982 Philip Robinson (@flipflops1982) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @bluther123 @neilben10112319 i am only watching the game, no highlights, no build up, no half time banter! @btsport have the worst football pundits in football history! #liverpoolvsTottenham #TOTLIV

  • JohnRobson18 John Robson (@JohnRobson18) reported from Wallsend, England

    I predict spurs to lose 5 -0 they are awful. @btsport

  • Keithr10 Keith Robertson 🤦🏻‍♂️ (@Keithr10) reported from South Shields, England

    @rioferdy5 is a patronising prick “have to have played the game” it’s only bellends who’s argument has been lost who state shit like that, absolute ******* of a man #btsport #THFCVCITY

  • graeme_i_wilson Graeme Wilson (@graeme_i_wilson) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @bt_uk The automated 'check my line' service isn't finding the fault.

  • mulcs85 John Mulcahy (@mulcs85) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @IamAustinHealey @Saracens @ChampionsCup @leinsterrugby @btsport Congrats Saracens - but some serious self evaluation needed by Leinster - not why we lost but reffing of offside and breakdown was a bad joke - really has to be addressed - laws already there - enforce them

  • xToonsend Dominic Townsend (@xToonsend) reported from Washington, England

    The only negative thing about watching this cracking Toon win is having to listen to that **** Michael Owen chat shit after it #NUFC #btsport

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk No broadband (now 15 days late), no reasons given why not, no sense of urgency to actually get it sorted. I'm running out of superlatives to describe your dreadful customer service and general incompetence.

  • Ted202_ David (@Ted202_) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @mrjakehumphrey @themichaelowen @Robbie9Fowler @LFC @LivEchoLFC @TheRedmenTV @TheAnfieldWrap @AnfieldHQ @btsport @ChampionsLeague Not bad when McManaman amassed about 11 of them

  • TVBCJonpaul Jonpaul Heron (@TVBCJonpaul) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Working fine all day, week and month. Now watching #ChampionsLeagueFinal2019 on @btsport on YouTube and it’s now poor. Very interesting.

  • Jackburrnorth87 Joshua Taylor (@Jackburrnorth87) reported

    @CHoulahan70 @bt_uk Whenever we get calls like this we just put the phone down, one time my nana got a call claiming to be from a computer company they said they’d detected a problem with her computer and asked for password, she called their bluff by telling them she didn’t have a computer

  • robh_78 Rob Hickman (@robh_78) reported

    @villabone @bt_uk I had similar with virgin. I ended up making a complaint and receiving £300 compensation.

  • sky_waller Saff - Variant 1283 ☀️ (@sky_waller) reported

    Hey @SkyHelpTeam, @bt_uk are absolutely hopeless and apparently our broadband order is 'stuck in the system' and they can't fix it. It's been a week, we're trying to work. Can you help get us connected? Happy to swap to you!

  • Emmalowri Emma Harris (@Emmalowri) reported

    Once again @BTBusiness @btbusinesscare are proving to be a disappointment. They ceased the service (I don’t know why) now they say it can’t be switched back on until 12 Oct!!!! Ridiculous. A small business trying to recover after Covid…beggars belief

  • roberto39516475 Robbie’s_Here (@roberto39516475) reported

    @bt_uk am truly shocked how poorly you treat your customers and what a complete **** up you’ve made off my account ! How do you manage to over charge £302 and send a debt chasing company after me ??? Shambles

  • Prizzle17 Prizzle (@Prizzle17) reported

    @bt_uk awful customer service @bt_uk 30 mins on phone, no help because you messed up I'm not a customer, but you have my bank info and take my money, complaint info - call but no option for complaint, so go online can't complain without ID, but i have no ID coz you failed to set me up!

  • baferg87 Bret Ferguson (@baferg87) reported

    @RugbyInsideLine Really poor coverage for the sport. Need to sort it out. Why have @btsport bought the rights then hardly screen any games?

  • Prizzle17 Prizzle (@Prizzle17) reported

    @bt_uk awful customer service @bt_uk 30 mins on phone, no help because you messed up I'm not a customer, but you have my bank info and take my money, complaint info - call but no option for complaint, so go online can't complain without ID, but i have no ID coz you failed to set me up!

  • LesOGrady Les O'Grady (@LesOGrady) reported

    @villabone @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp Had the same issues in the brewery including cutting off next doors phone line completely. Took 4 months + for the install. All they do is pass the buck and take no responsibility. Run away as quick as you can!

  • Prizzle17 Prizzle (@Prizzle17) reported

    @CarefreeGB @bt_uk yep same for me, taken over 250quid out my bank account but despite this claim I'm not the account holder and won't tell me why😡😡😡😡 no customer service, no help at all
