  • stevewallwork Steve Wallwork (@stevewallwork) reported from Annfield Plain, England

    @lynseyhipgrave1 @btsport @sjsidwell I think we know the answer to that one Lynsey. Our record is traditionally poor on Boxing Day anyway.

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    Not only is the @bt_uk wifi poor on my smart hub 2 but the lack of channels available is terrible. BT need to sort this out and expand the available WiFi channel choice to prevent neighbours clashing

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Week 7, still no line working, 4 engineers, 3 credit checks and 30 false promises to get back in touch. But hey, your still charging me for this.

  • ChaneyMichael Michael Chaney (@ChaneyMichael) reported from Dunston, England

    @gateshead who do you report vandalism of a phone box to, is it council or @bt_uk can you help? As it is a BT phone box.

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk hello, hope you can help please? After a 95 minute phone call on Saturday your advisor assured me my problems would be solved by an engineer tomorrow. I’ve had no email or text to confirm this. Please advise.

  • WASNAPPER Martin (@WASNAPPER) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    2 days on & off now sitting listening to crap music. Not by choice but trying to report another fault to @plusnethelp service used to be good but garbage since @bt_uk got involved

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @bt_uk I’m still down on all platforms (apart from my iPhone which I don’t log out of)

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Can you not just get an English person to call me direct to fix this please? I’ve been passed about for 6-7 weeks now.

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare I love the way you’ve got to speak to 5 people and none of them can give you a straight answer on when your connection will be live again. It’s like the secret service having BT as a business provider. Shocking service BT!

  • KRISKROS5 Kris Kross (@KRISKROS5) reported from Blyth, England

    BT commentator- “ you have to get it on target or you will not trouble the keeper or make him make a mistake” fantastic awareness.... #newcry #btsport #NUFC

  • andyb7274 Andy Brown (@andyb7274) reported from Bedlington, England

    @MarkMowbrayNE @redvanman12 @bt_uk Its what they're told to do (been there, done it) or were at the time. Probably changed now, but blame process not the poor agent on crap money 🙃

  • charming_man_ Tory 1 (@charming_man_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk can we have an update on the outage Middlesbrough TS5

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Why aren’t you dealing with our issue after 6 days without business broadband? Disgraceful service as our business is at a standstill with no replies or urgency!

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Technology… why does it fail when you want to watch live sport? #itv has vanished from our telly. 🙄 good job we’ve got a back up tv with old fashioned aerial. I see we didn’t miss much when trying to retune… #POLENG @bt_uk full package fail again…

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare guess what? Promised a phone call 1 hour after I spoke to your team on the phone at 10am and they haven’t rang back. You are exceeding my expectations of being the worst service provider in the UK right now 👏

  • jennifercribbes Jennifer (@jennifercribbes) reported from Ashington, England

    Massively disappointed with @bt_uk my mam is in tears with how she has been treated by customer services. Had no phone line for weeks due to a fault then charged loads of timeline charges. Transferred through to a number of staff no one in BT has ever heard of a timeline charge??

  • Markberry89 Mark Berry (@Markberry89) reported from Guide Post, England

    @bt_uk internet is the absolute WORST of them all!!!

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

    Fully subscribed to @btsport for several years now but I refuse to watch another @NUFC **** show! #bruceout #EVENEW

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @bt_uk It’s down on all platforms I’m trying to log into except my iPhone which I don’t log out of…

  • master_debonair Master Debonair (@master_debonair) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btbusinesscare Still no reply or update when our broadband will be back on. Nearly 7 days without a business connection. Let down everyday by BT 🤬

    @bt_uk Hi, I appreciate you replying. I have an engineer booked who is coming to look at it in a few days so hopefully it will get fixed. I apologise about the post, I was frustrated about my connection issues but hopefully these will be resolved in a few days.

  • BCCletts Rt Hon Dave H 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 Keyboard soldier (@BCCletts) reported

    @bt_uk @Ofcom No BT broadband or landline service since 29/01/22, I contacted you to to get this sorted out but your bot does not allow me to get this done I've now paid over £100 to you & had nothing in the way of a service, now a 3rd bill Why should I be paying you for this? >>

  • CamilaCSCaiado Camila Caiado (@CamilaCSCaiado) reported

    Me: "if you cancel my order, will hybrid connect still work while you fix this?" BT: "Yes, of course." Guess which service @bt_uk has just deactivated eliminating all internet service they were providing? It was poor quality but it was better than nothing. Thanks again @bt_uk !

  • Kaanee95 Kane (@Kaanee95) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, if ee terminate my phone contract due to not being able to pay my bill does this effect my products with you even though i'm paying you on time etc...

  • 1989_AML Al 🇺🇦 (@1989_AML) reported

    @bt_uk hello, I’ve had trouble all day with devices connecting to my wifi. They all worked yesterday but now my phone and tv won’t connect. I’ve got a blue light & restarted the router a couple of times. Any advice?

  • windypoos steve (@windypoos) reported

    @bt_uk I know when we call this number the customer value team will have none of the information I gave to you today. We will just have to start all over again.

  • brianmini Sandy (@brianmini) reported

    @BTCare and @WeAreOpenreach **** up again. 15 years I've had "incorrect address" details, that I can't see but every year come renewal I get told I live next door, and every year I ask for the details to be changed and they never are.

  • paulellis38 Paul Ellis (@paulellis38) reported

    @SpursOfficial Liverpool away is a joke time. Bowing down to @btsport again. No thought for the fans as per. Could’ve even been the 1230pm slot that @btsport normally have.

  • garyallanach Gary Allanach (@garyallanach) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for getting back but too late I'm afraid. Spoke to Sky last night and sorted a deal with them at half price what am currently paying BT (and faster). Note - their deal is open to existing customer too.

  • PaulOehme3 Paul Oehme (@PaulOehme3) reported

    @bt_uk are your bt TV set up boxes having problems as I was watching a program and the picture was purple went to string and changed it from 1080p to 1080i and this sorted the purple picture.
