  • trevstanley Trevor Sharkey (@trevstanley) reported from Stanley, England

    @bt_uk Do you think you could address the problem of your BTtv EPG in relation to entries by @DiscoveryUK. Entries misleading in time, length of prog, capital letters, no synopsis and unable to "record the series". Do you care?

  • ZestPartnership Zest Accountants Newark (@ZestPartnership) reported

    @bt_uk '4G backup that's guaranteed' unless BT cancel your order and leave your web based business without broadband. 'Expert Tech Support' but no one will help you get back on line and it will take two working days for someone to get in touch. Never been treated so badly by a co

  • sarah_church sarah (@sarah_church) reported

    @bt_uk If you check my records you’ll the issue has been ongoing for months. It’s all been logged, I’d appreciate it if someone could review my case and see if there’s anything that can be done. So far the onus has been on me to push to get a resolution, it’s exhausting & dull.

  • sandra_actress 💜Sandra Meunier💙 (@sandra_actress) reported

    Hey @bt_uk pity your customer services consistently refused my request to move to a cheaper tariff till I clicked on @MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis ‘s link. Could have done with that £30 discount per month 🥵😡😭

  • uuukzfgbvc dafa taka (@uuukzfgbvc) reported

    @bt_uk why is the security check taking more than 3.5 hours since I sent the requested document, I need my product tomorrow as promised in the express delivery, I paid extra for a service that isn't going to apply as promised, that is the worst customer service I've ever had.

  • elliehamilton38 Ellie Hamilton (@elliehamilton38) reported

    @bt_uk Is it down though?

  • wheatley_martin Martin Wheatley (@wheatley_martin) reported from Swaffham Bulbeck, England

    Very slow handclap for @bt_uk. My *brand new* phone connection isn't working and won't be fixed until Tuesday next week.

  • hedgehoguk84 Mark (@hedgehoguk84) reported

    @JonPabloAngel @bt_uk Straight onto the bank to refund if it’s a direct debit mate. And cancel it!

  • SharperMilliner Sally Harper (@SharperMilliner) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve been without a landline and sporadic WiFi for 6 weeks, this is appalling. Fix dates keep being moved. I’m now without WiFi 😤😤😤

  • MichaelBarrass1 Michael Barrass (@MichaelBarrass1) reported

    @TheVanaramaNL @Official_Darlo @btsport Just need to sort out streaming of live north/south games to help struggling clubs survive as present sponsorship deal is abysmal

  • ZestPartnership Zest Accountants Newark (@ZestPartnership) reported

    @bt_uk what a complete and utter shambles! YOU cancel our business broadband order we placed due to lack of contact. After 6 weeks of US chasing YOU (that's contact right?) a BT engineer arrives at office today & at the exact same time you turn off our 4G. No one at BT will help!
