  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • kphilchris Karen Brown (@kphilchris) reported from Ouston, England

    @BTCare we're having loads of problems with our broadband the connection is atrocious we've just paid to rent a film and now it won't play it is through BT is there anything can be done please, plus I need to make sure we are not charged.

  • calthomson10 Callum Thomson (@calthomson10) reported from Newburn, England

    @btsportfootball @btsport please never ever let John Hartson commentate on your channel again. Ever.

  • 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.

  • andydeltic andy (@andydeltic) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk afternoon folks. I’ve lost connection on my digital phone line. I’ve reset the handset and hub but the issue still exists. Any help would be fab thanks

  • HarrymBarham Harry Barham (@HarrymBarham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Oh dear @bt_uk… Offered a new contract twice, but my acceptance has been ignored then was supposed to be transferred on a call today but the transfers are broken so was given a direct number…. for the wrong department, who are now panicking because they’re getting random calls

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • Geordie_Shaun shaun (@Geordie_Shaun) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Cazza7 @btsport That’s crap. 🤬

  • Sandancer60 Dave Miller #ButcherXiJinping #BBCFakeNews (@Sandancer60) reported from South Shields, England

    @MSANNCOOPER @jojojoheeley @bt_uk Ring #BBCFakeNews. Im sure they'll be able to help you out. Don't waste your time ringing. Don't pay the bill if you don't owe it. Let them take you to Court: they'll lose.

  • 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.

  • kphilchris Karen Brown (@kphilchris) reported from Ouston, England

    @BTCare I have an ongoing issue with my broadband I've been in touch a few times now, I've done as instructed & have plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop. I'm trying to watch a programme through the BT box on i player and it is just buffering all the time this can't be right

  • d4rryl23 Darryl Arnett (@d4rryl23) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @bt_uk Hi, I have just had an experience with your customer service, with which I still don’t have an answer, if I can get your fttp services. My new post is DH4 4ZL. Your web site says that your fttp service is available. If someone can help and views this post. Please do

  • RiskManager01 John McLackland (@RiskManager01) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @CCriadoPerez @McAfee_Help @bt_uk Although I have never encountered any virus/mail ware problem for any Mac, you should be able to delete MacAfee files from the Library and Preference Folder.

  • 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.

  • laaurenmoore94 lauren moore (@laaurenmoore94) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Anyone else’s @btsport crashing all the time on bt sport 1 or is mine just bad! 😂😂pointless having it when that’s the main channel 😂😂😂

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • RussToms Russ toms (@RussToms) reported

    @bt_uk Hi,I’ve just had to send a ‘fix’ text for the umpteen time over the last few months as our broadband has dropped off again 4 time this evening. Our last call out was last week and i don’t expect to keep on having engineers out to resolve issues on a weekly basis.

  • alvinjohndrum alvin drummond (@alvinjohndrum) reported

    @btsport So that's gonna be a poor watch. Second rate presenters and presentation. Not a patch on @SkyCricket.

  • oldCODger6 SteveS (@oldCODger6) reported

    @bt_uk internet down again. Less than a week from last time it went down. DN3 3SZ. #openreach outside neighbours so wonder if this is part of a bigger issue here. Rebooted router twice and still get steady Orange light. No issues shown on check line page. 😫

  • TheSimpleCat King Snackbird, Trashlord of Hell 👑 (@TheSimpleCat) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Jules, we are supposed to get at least 56. Router is flashing all colours of the rainbow, preferrably orange. I keep turning it off an on again when it gets REALLY bad but that doesn't improve things by a lot :/

  • lindaparks71 Mrs Linda Parks (@lindaparks71) reported

    @bt_uk why is my wi fi not working??... I have tried to reconnect but it's telling me that the password is incorrect... It's not

  • doctor_you Drew Clancy (@doctor_you) reported

    @bt_uk My 93 year old Mum’s phone line was broken, the lady who took my call late on Saturday and the engineer who fixed it Sunday morning were amazing and both super helpful

  • Utd_OB OLE OUT (@Utd_OB) reported

    @rioferdy5 You're the worst pundit on tv mate. Cancelled my @btsport subscription because of this clown

  • BadgerSporran Badger Sporran (@BadgerSporran) reported

    @bt_uk @BTCare My 87yo father in law has been without a landline for weeks. Not a huge unless of course the landline is connected to an alarm for his disabled wife! Open Reach are like moles digging but not resolving the issue. This is disgusting
