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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 🤬

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

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

  • 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…

  • gemlids gemma liddell (@gemlids) reported from Guide Post, England

    @bt_uk absolutely disgusted in service from BT .. my dad had a brand new roof fitted yesterday and BT open reach came out for an issue with their neighbour!! A new bracket has been fit to my parents house , damaged new roof and broken wire taped together !! Disgusting

  • 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??

  • 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 👏

  • 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.

  • AdvancedIFA Advanced IFA Ltd (@AdvancedIFA) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @btsport your service is terrible. Got billed £80 asked them to close account. Never watched it since pre lockdown 1 and today another £80 bill. Advised pay it or debt collectors will arrive then dispute it after payment. Very bad service. Still on hold 47mins to disconnect????

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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 🙃

  • 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…

  • 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.
