  • 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

  • wilko1999 Angela Wilkinson🍃💚🍃 (@wilko1999) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk It was not a missed appointment it was a total failure of communication. Someone could have contacted me so I could have stayed at work. Now I have an unreliable service over a Bank Holiday weekend and another planned appt for next Wednesday.

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

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @btbusinesscare I moved house in December, you failed to move my Internet so spectacularly that mid January I cancelled the non existing internet. I’ve been sent bills in February & March that I’ve had to phone about. Im just trying to warn other people how bad your service is.

  • 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

    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…

  • 1ONEBOBBYROBSON davidnufc22 (@1ONEBOBBYROBSON) reported from Dunston, England

    who ******** is that idiot commentator on #btsport @btsport she hasnt got a clue #NUFC

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk the worst service in the UK. I’m still getting bills for a service I stopped in January. Absolutely shambolic. I stopped being a customer 3 months ago yet here I am on hold to BT. What a joke.

  • SoSureSewell sewellpaul@lfc (@SoSureSewell) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shocking service from @bt_uk. No compassion at all from you as a company. Lost my job & my home and now you want to destroy my credit scores. Nearly £500 charges for leaving early. 8 months in to a 24 month contact does not seem fair to me 😥😥

  • andrew14ad Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @msmith850 @btsport Never in doubt they are back

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

    Anyone got a @btsport LOGIN I can borrow for the #nufc match? 🙏🏼 #shybairnsgetnowt

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk I can’t wait for next month when I get another bill for a service I cancelled in January

  • nickcubs70 nick (@nickcubs70) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    ******* hell @btsport you’ve been absolutely dreadful. The worst thing about tonight for sure.

  • SmarProcurement David Hall (@SmarProcurement) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    For me @btsport have taken the mantle from @talkSPORT for the worst cricket coverage. Matt Smith is a good football presenter but is clearly not a cricket follower and the commentary they are using from Fox is terrible. If @bbctms can send their to team to Australia why not BT?

  • 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 🙃

  • V1nkerz V. (@V1nkerz) reported

    @bt_uk I've literally had a better experience with some underground no name network. Power leads to Sloth.

  • leftoutside2 oldone (@leftoutside2) reported

    @bt_uk Still needs tidying up, homes still have problems with wifi drop.

  • HadmanDynasty Matt Hadman (@HadmanDynasty) reported

    @bt_uk Your service is utterly disgraceful. This is the third time now in the last 6 weeks I’ve had to report a fault because my phone line isn’t working. The fault is always at the exchange and leaves me without a phone line for 3-4 days at a time. SORT IT OUT.

  • James_Wyatt James Wyatt (@James_Wyatt) reported

    How do you escalate at complaint with @bt_uk ? 75Mb broadband running at max 4Mb for a MONTH now and BT don't seem to care & are lying to me.

  • 58ALL Mervyn58 (@58ALL) reported

    @aitch_R_aitch @bt_uk did he fix it?

  • brtel37 brtel 🗺 (@brtel37) reported

    @bt_uk @educationgovuk Paying top price as a loyal customer for very poor internet connection that keeps cutting out with a uni student trying to finish his degree. How about you stop robbing us blind while your at it & stop charging for speeds that don't exist.

  • teenaantoniou Teena Antoniou (@teenaantoniou) reported from Walthamstow, England

    .@BTCare are you available to help on broadband issues? You don’t answer calls and there are no online booking slots. Halo is supposed to have 24hr help?!?!

  • dreamendstate Paul Smith (@dreamendstate) reported

    heads up, @bt_uk isn’t doing any fibre installations during lockdown but forgetting to tell customers. I’m leaving @virginmedia because of terrible customer service, so not a great start. 😬

  • simonkingmedia Simon King (@simonkingmedia) reported

    @bt_uk I’m paying for Complete Wi-Fi and can’t connect. Can you help and how do I get my £100 fee for Complete Wi-Fi being a joke?

  • IanRElliot Ian Elliot (@IanRElliot) reported

    With BBC offer I think internet companies like @SkyHelpTeam and @bt_uk need to offer a basic lockdown length specific cheap internet package with school work and shopping sites free to use. Help where you can
