    I predict spurs to lose 5 -0 they are awful. @btsport

  • timlibrarian Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) reported from Bearpark, England

    @bt_uk Hi, no, it’s not a new build. Engineer visited before Christmas and was able to activate broadband but not phone service due to a fault in the junction box. Order number is VOL013-439847322595

  • 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.

  • 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

    @bt_uk ...... Your wifi is shit

  • 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.

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

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

  • Hossy93 Joseph Drane (@Hossy93) reported from Brandon, England

    @Gaz_House @btsport Or you could go down the night before. 😉

  • MrsP1001 MrsP (@MrsP1001) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk And people on Twitter may be looking for a new broadband connection and should be aware of the level of service from BT

  • 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.

  • TVBCJonpaul Jonpaul Heron (@TVBCJonpaul) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Working fine all day, week and month. Now watching #ChampionsLeagueFinal2019 on @btsport on YouTube and it’s now poor. Very interesting.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree Please fix my broadband just for me I've waited now for many days (17 and counting) Many promises fade in the haze Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree Please make my broadband work for me

  • 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

  • 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 Crook, England

    @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!!

  • 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.

  • mulcs85 John Mulcahy (@mulcs85) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @IamAustinHealey @Saracens @ChampionsCup @leinsterrugby @btsport Congrats Saracens - but some serious self evaluation needed by Leinster - not why we lost but reffing of offside and breakdown was a bad joke - really has to be addressed - laws already there - enforce them

  • bi_george_ Georgia (@bi_george_) reported

    @bt_uk Your telecoms customer service staff are very rude. My partner has had 8 phone calls relating to a prior workplace and has asked each time for his details to be removed from the system. This time the lady put the phone down on him when he was saying it was frustrating. 😡

  • DebbieBennettPR Debbie Bennett (@DebbieBennettPR) reported

    @BTCare so the twits at BT send an internal engineer when they know it's an external problem - no words!!

  • c_washington Chris Washington (@c_washington) reported

    @Concledoc @btbusinesscare This is beyond stupid now.

  • AdamTheGorilla The Gorilla (@AdamTheGorilla) reported

    Hey @bt_uk. What’s the craic if a consumer is in contract with you but moving to a house where the same service they’re in contract for is no longer available? i.e. FTTP for example?

  • AndyGibsonTV Andy Gibson (@AndyGibsonTV) reported

    @BT_UK Any idea when your system will recognise my account and let me sign in?

  • hovemonkey Katie Humphreys (@hovemonkey) reported

    @bt_uk placing an order to move home service for the beginning of July and we are galloping towards the end of August with still no internet. Just "update" after "update" with no information other than the next "update" will be next week. It would be funny if it wasn't tragic

  • sherbsvilletv 🌳 🌱 sherbsville 🌱 🌳 (@sherbsvilletv) reported

    @bt_uk hi i sent a dm, as my internets slow. pls can someone look into it? ty

  • dkj101 David Jeffery (@dkj101) reported

    @bt_uk This isn’t good enough 50 network failures in a month with no explanation no root cause provide and no confirmation of a permanent fix.

  • LucieCrowley Lucie (@LucieCrowley) reported

    Would not recommend @bt_uk to anyone!! Moved house on Friday and booked internet for 23rd. Assured it would be sorted considering needed to work from home and today we still have no Internet and can't get it until the 2nd September 😡😡😡 customer service has now hung up too...

  • StuartParkinson Stuart Parkinson (@StuartParkinson) reported

    @bt_uk There’s a fault that Open Reach have been unable to fix for over 2 weeks and today the unbreakable hybrid has broken down and is impossible to connect. It’s marketed as unbreakable ?!?
