    well done @WWE what a way to lose a load of viewers by giving up a 30 year service from Sky - we pay enough as it is let alone paying more for @btsport .. well I know where I will be watching WWE going forward , awful decision 😪

  • Clarko2000
    Paul Clarke (@Clarko2000) reported from Welwyn, England

    If we only learn one thing from lockdown it’s how awful the UK broadband network is. Rare to see an interview on TV or do an online meeting without some sort of glitch or hang-up! @bt_uk @TalkTalk @virginmedia @VodafoneUK @SkyUK (top 5 UK providers)

    @btbusinesscare Whys you smarthub 2 wifi performance so horrific today? Is there a known issue at the moment, or have you pushed new firmware overnight or something which has broken it? Nothing in my setup has changed, but every one of my wifi devices is constantly disconnecting/reconnecting???

    How convenient, got through to rep # 5 who again dropped my call and when I phoned back for the 6th time your closed!? and you guys wanted me to cancel with BT phone and go with you! @skytv @bt_uk absolutely useless

  • TherionWare
    Therion Ware #FBPPR #FBPE #Truss: series imbecile. (@TherionWare) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @bt_uk I notice my bill for Jan 2023 is estimated at the usual amount, which clearly doesn't take account of the 27 days of broadband outage. When will the much vaunted "automatic compensation" shown as a bill credit for ≈ £226.80?

  • Debsgf
    DebsF (@Debsgf) reported from Barnet, England

    @bt_uk I am still waiting for a response a request for an engineer appointment to look at a communal box, which looks in urgent need of replacement and is impacting an entire block’s service.

  • Debsgf
    DebsF (@Debsgf) reported from Barnet, England

    @bt_uk I contacted OpenReach and they have told me to inform my service provider about this. This needs looping at urgently.

    Agent Chadd (@A_Gent_Chadd) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    Thank you Ian @bt_uk you are a credit to the company. Shame all staff aren't as capable and civil. Customer Service training needed in Newcastle call centre 🤔

    @bt_uk It has already been reported and all they did was put a cone on it. Can you please chase it from your end. The damage is on greycaine road Watford Hertfordshire Wd24 7GP

  • tetleyteabird
    Sarah Brigden (@tetleyteabird) reported from Hitchin, England

    @bt_uk I've already raised a complaint when I called Friday morning perhaps. We're receiving a terrible service. Unable to view the guide or watch catch up intermittently. Even after getting the kids to disconnect fron the router!!

  • theatregirl5264
    theatregirl (@theatregirl5264) reported from Barnet, England

    @bt_uk reported a fault. Got a date and an engineer name. They didn’t attend, pretended they had. Complained, made another appointment. No name this time but still pretended they had arrived. So new “fast “ broadband slower than old. Service? What service.

  • NeilGenders1
    Neilly g (@NeilGenders1) reported from Chorleywood, England

    @flanman100 @bt_uk @Ofcom Dad wanted same a few months ago. Was without WiFi for 8 weeks after engineer visit. Found a problem and had to come back at a later date. Turns out the first engineer had cut a wire and hadn’t realised. Took many visits and no shows. A shower or &hite is how I would describe BT

  • GursSehmi
    Gurs Sehmi (@GursSehmi) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    I'm feeling really liberated since I cancelled @bt_uk service! I now no longer have to deal with the worst service known to man. I am soon cancelling @skytv , and they have the second worst!!

    @bt_uk My BT broadband was down from last Wednesday until about 4pm yesterday. Now that it is working again i looked about messaging them to complain and ask how they will compensate me. Has anyone had any success or a helpful answer from a stupid bot. Me thinks its switch time
