  • DanielJenks89 Daniel Jenks (@DanielJenks89) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk I have had issues with my broadband dropping in and out of my devices since that major outage happened on Thursday. I don’t know if anyone else has had those continuous problems during that time?

  • gman_hughes 🐢gman scouser Hughes 😬☠️ (@gman_hughes) reported from Ryton, England

    @bt_uk @CattleprodSub @Se2n22 We got BT and ours seem to be slow , is this BT saying we need to up grade to faster internet, hmmm 🤔

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

    @bt_uk I will never use bt again.. i have just recieved a email saying 40% of the faults happen in the home and i will be charged £85 call out if this is the case.

  • 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?

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

    @bt_uk The Internet connection on your mobile network here in Stanley, Co. Durham is abysmal.

  • andydeltic andy (@andydeltic) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk afternoon folks. I’ve lost connection on my digital phone line. I’ve reset the handset and hub but the issue still exists. Any help would be fab thanks

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

    @bt_uk As ive said i will never have anything to do with bt again

  • baldymanali Alastair Smith (@baldymanali) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk just received email from you saying my email will be suspended if I don't login. I read emails on your new (and I might say, useless) ap every day. Have complained about it previously. Get it sorted

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

    @bt_uk Yes. The coverage here in Stanley is shocking. Time after time I have to connect to home or McDonald's or O2 hot spot to get Internet when out in Town. Even occasionally got no signal at all.

  • laaurenmoore94 lauren moore (@laaurenmoore94) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Anyone else’s @btsport crashing all the time on bt sport 1 or is mine just bad! 😂😂pointless having it when that’s the main channel 😂😂😂

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk And I NEVER get 4g. Lucky to get 3g!

    Moving house with us is easy say @bt_uk give us at least 2 weeks notice they say. I gave you 6 weeks and I have nothing. I complained, and that was closed without a resolution!

  • FcSthelensU11R Fc St Helens U12 Rangers (@FcSthelensU11R) reported

    @bt_uk I've spent over 2 hours on the phone, dealing with people on online chats. I want someone to contact me now, so I can get these issues resolved.

  • CraggsViv Viv Craggs (@CraggsViv) reported

    @bt_uk So I sent a message with the complaint information and my phone number asking @bt_uk to call between noon and 2pm. It’s no surprise that they failed to do so. Totally lacking in #CustomerService

  • darrentacker darren bonwick (@darrentacker) reported

    @bt_uk Ok so now day 7 of no internet no phone calls back as promised again no reply to emails / really bt must now have the worst customer service out there

  • Deeeej1 Deeeej (@Deeeej1) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks for following up. Yes all sorted when I got through. Just frustrating to have to wait for 45 mins and it be the only way to cancel a subscription (but you can upgrade / take a new sub online easy enough)

  • leelloyd1289 lee lloyd (@leelloyd1289) reported

    @LazerSpart @GAMEdigital The best place to sell this is BT by far. Already had 2 major sell outs and every other retailers ruined it for everyone. Bt introduced a code per customer solved all the problems. The que was genuine customers of bt @bt_uk

  • nathanl3600 Nathan (@nathanl3600) reported

    @bt_uk what a shambles trying to set up service you cancel my order you set up a new order now that order has to be cancelled and another one set up no one can explain to me what’s going on it seems like it’s just the easy thing to do cancel and replace all the time 😡😡😡

  • _NoSoyDeAqui ś.ra (@_NoSoyDeAqui) reported

    Not even with @bt_uk and they are THEEE worst. On the phone for 40mins only to get through and told you've come through to the wrong dept and call the other number... The one I'm calling on?? Absolute piss take. Might as well cancel. @bt_uk don't want any new customers clearly

  • Dawn_Burford Dawn Burford (@Dawn_Burford) reported

    @bt_uk you were so helpful earlier this week but to no avail . No service AGAIN. As I only have part time service I think I should only pay part time rental!!!!!

  • OpticsXD eli (@OpticsXD) reported
