  • andyb7274 Andy Brown (@andyb7274) reported from Bedlington, England

    @MarkMowbrayNE @redvanman12 @bt_uk Its what they're told to do (been there, done it) or were at the time. Probably changed now, but blame process not the poor agent on crap money 🙃

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Technology… why does it fail when you want to watch live sport? #itv has vanished from our telly. 🙄 good job we’ve got a back up tv with old fashioned aerial. I see we didn’t miss much when trying to retune… #POLENG @bt_uk full package fail again…

  • SmarProcurement David Hall (@SmarProcurement) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    For me @btsport have taken the mantle from @talkSPORT for the worst cricket coverage. Matt Smith is a good football presenter but is clearly not a cricket follower and the commentary they are using from Fox is terrible. If @bbctms can send their to team to Australia why not BT?

  • andrew14ad Andrew Davis (@andrew14ad) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @msmith850 @btsport Never in doubt they are back

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  • Raring2goNewcas Raring2Go! Newcastle (@Raring2goNewcas) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @BTCare @bt_uk hello, hope you can help please? After a 95 minute phone call on Saturday your advisor assured me my problems would be solved by an engineer tomorrow. I’ve had no email or text to confirm this. Please advise.

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @fozia4 @rkelwick @bt_uk Indeed. And when you complain you just get fobbed off? They need to change the law to require a business to honour any service or produce they supply. Especially builders and tradesmen? Seems to be impossible to get them to put right errors they have made?

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Week 7, still no line working, 4 engineers, 3 credit checks and 30 false promises to get back in touch. But hey, your still charging me for this.

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @bt_uk My @btsport picture quality often way worse than this - pixelated and unwatchable with broken up sound. When are you sending me my £100? (and more importantly providing me with a more reliable service? 🤔).

  • joshybanyard Josh Banyard ⚫⚪⚫⚪ (@joshybanyard) reported from Longbenton, England

    Anyone got a @btsport LOGIN I can borrow for the #nufc match? 🙏🏼 #shybairnsgetnowt

  • PapaDodds Chris Dodds (@PapaDodds) reported from South Shields, England

    @bt_uk Can you not just get an English person to call me direct to fix this please? I’ve been passed about for 6-7 weeks now.

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @bt_uk the worst service in the UK. I’m still getting bills for a service I stopped in January. Absolutely shambolic. I stopped being a customer 3 months ago yet here I am on hold to BT. What a joke.

  • KRISKROS5 Kris Kross (@KRISKROS5) reported from Blyth, England

    BT commentator- “ you have to get it on target or you will not trouble the keeper or make him make a mistake” fantastic awareness.... #newcry #btsport #NUFC

  • ChaneyMichael Michael Chaney (@ChaneyMichael) reported from Dunston, England

    @gateshead who do you report vandalism of a phone box to, is it council or @bt_uk can you help? As it is a BT phone box.

  • wilko1999 Angela Wilkinson🍃💚🍃 (@wilko1999) reported from Whitburn, England

    @bt_uk It was not a missed appointment it was a total failure of communication. Someone could have contacted me so I could have stayed at work. Now I have an unreliable service over a Bank Holiday weekend and another planned appt for next Wednesday.

  • charming_man_ Tory 1 (@charming_man_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bt_uk can we have an update on the outage Middlesbrough TS5

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    Still got sync problems on @btsport on my #firestick @ee. Not a happy bunny. Pay for this aswell .

  • MarkMowbrayNE Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, England

    Not only is the @bt_uk wifi poor on my smart hub 2 but the lack of channels available is terrible. BT need to sort this out and expand the available WiFi channel choice to prevent neighbours clashing

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter ***** ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @rkelwick @fozia4 @bt_uk I’m waiting to receive my £100 as my BT Broadband regularly cuts me off Zoom calls and the picture quality from our BT TV is regularly terrible (but fine on the app on my iPad? 🤔)

  • Discostu12345 Harrison 🇬🇧 #PBFEU (@Discostu12345) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I have had to restart (not reset) my router as the wifi was abysmal this morning, everything seems to be ok again exept both of my wifi discs will not reconnect even though I am following the guide to reconnect them to the letter, is there an issue at your end?

  • LittleMeThatter 𝕃𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 𝕃𝕪𝕟𝕕𝕫 █ GB █ (@LittleMeThatter) reported

    @bt_uk hi is there an issue with BT broadband in the Lowestoft area?

  • leewithers1981 Lee Withers ENIC OUT (@leewithers1981) reported

    @bt_uk We already are with bt but the internet is not the best can’t even get fibre on our street but u can get it down the around the corner

  • BrownCllr Cllr Gordon Brown (Rutland) (@BrownCllr) reported

    @bt_uk Th landlines and internet in the Village of Barrowden (LE15 8E) have now been down for 15 hours. The BT website indicates that there you are unable to provide a time for a fix. What is your plan to resolve and keep customers updated?

  • takonaguy Lewis Warren (@takonaguy) reported

    4 weeks since I raised a complaint with .@bt_uk. about being overcharged and being pushed into an overdraft. Zero updates, asked again this morning “we should wait for the complaints team to get in touch”. @BarclaysUK you okay to wait on overdraft fees while BT do their jobs?…..

  • nickmoul Nick Moulsdale (@nickmoul) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you. Another week with no landline. Digital Voice is useless when it’s not connected except to say “we can see you’re having trouble”. Number maybe lost.number randomly allocated is not valid. What mess up.

  • crushagrape Billy Bob 🐶🌈 🐾💖 (@crushagrape) reported

    @paul_jolly2019 @SkySports It's just as bad now over at @btsport

  • Eddie_Plum Edward J Plum (@Eddie_Plum) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks, that's a reasonable response. I don't think that's the problem though, as Google location services (e.g. Maps) actually work on all devices, regardless of OS or connection medium. It's pretty much all other apps/websites which think I'm in NI.

  • PS5Play_ PSPlay (@PS5Play_) reported

    So @bt_uk came to install full fibre yesterday.We now have no working phone line or broadband and are using a 4g hub for connection atm. The engineer left without testing anything worked and now we have to wait for a hub in the post. Which is obviously not going fix the issue.

  • LeeWilk19760778 Lee Wilkinson (@LeeWilk19760778) reported

    @bt_uk Hi is it possible to explain why I pay for unbreakable WiFi yet it is broken? My speeds are so low it takes 45 minutes to do a 1gb update on a PlayStation. I get regular dropouts. Why does the ee backup not get put on?
