    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

    @bt_uk False alarm, it was a nice neighbour dropping off a Christmas card - I saw an Openreach van down the road and assumed that you had actually done something!!

  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    A new development on the BT issue. Had a call following my Tweet from a person @bt_uk apologising for yesterday. Early termination fee waived, apology accepted and relationship restored. Both agreed that this wasn’t the way it should happen but impressed with the resolution.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from South Hetton, England

  • CraigShitpeas Craig Shitpeas (@CraigShitpeas) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Rochdale’s 40yr old forward more effective than #Nufc 40million pound one. He is awful. No heart, no touch, no industry just dreadful. Well done #rochdale a deserved payday. They should have won it. They still might! #facup #btsport

  • liamlcg MrGrumpy.....Y.N.W.A (@liamlcg) reported from Murton, England

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

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

  • chris_jelley Dr Chris Jelley (@chris_jelley) reported from Durham, England

    10+ years (probably more) of being a loyal @bt_uk @BTGroup customer and they couldn’t waive the early termination fee liable because my new move means I can’t transfer the contract to my temporary property. I will never use them again.

  • liamlcg MrGrumpy.....Y.N.W.A (@liamlcg) reported from Murton, England

    @bt_uk My broadband has been off for over a week now.. ive spoke to 4 advisor's and had 3 engineer's out. One of the engineer's lied and said i wasnt in when i spoke to him at the gate. Very poor service!!!!

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk bt website won't load, can't issue a complaint, WiFi isn't working at all and hasn't all morning, not the first issue I've had in the last month. Paying extortionate amounts for this shite

  • sjholland87 Scott (@sjholland87) reported

    @bt_uk if I buy a third party router, do I lose support like other ISP's? Just I pay a packet for Halo 3 and is rather not if I lose potential support.

  • SuGo96 Susan (@SuGo96) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. BT youview box catchup isn't working. Comes up with error code YVM105. Have tried restarting box/router, updating software but not working. WiFi and TV channels working fine. Any other cause for this?

  • JJNB92 Jack (@JJNB92) reported

    (4) @bt_uk disaplointed, have been a BT customer for years but will be looking for a new provider tomorrow. Will warn colleagues of the same too - the lack of on-call personnel / ability to schedule callbacks etc is ridiculous for a company like BT. Complaint ref available...
