  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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 .

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @msmith850 @btsport Never in doubt they are back

  • 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? 🤔)

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

    @bt_uk It’s down on all platforms I’m trying to log into except my iPhone which I don’t log out of…

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk I’m still down on all platforms (apart from my iPhone which I don’t log out of)

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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?

  • 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? 🤔).

  • 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…

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

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

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

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

  • lance73 Lance! (@lance73) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks, I've tried but they ate the worst company to deal with. They make it as difficult as possible to contact them. This would not have been an issue if you guys had not mucked up the replacement in the first place.

  • DawnMoseley5 Dawn Moseley (@DawnMoseley5) reported

    @bt_uk I am have a problem with my broadband have gone to troubleshooting and they need to send an engineer out but the times are when I'm at work if you need to send an engineer why can't you do weekend for people like me who work

  • georgiaclarkegc Georgia Clarke (@georgiaclarkegc) reported

    Placing an order on 26th September 2022 for our line to be active, it’s now the 22nd of October and we have been told that we now can’t have internet until 23rd of November even though a engineer came out and activated it yesterday? Terrible customer services!!! @bt_uk

  • RedGapRustler Jack Woods (@RedGapRustler) reported

    @Hells4Heroes @bt_uk Yeah I dumped BT terrible customer service

  • craiggg____ Craig. (@craiggg____) reported

    Absolute joke how despite paying for PPV, we still dont get shown the full prelims. Go **** yourselves @btsport @btsportufc

  • CliveDavies15 Bumbly1uk.com (@CliveDavies15) reported

    @Hells4Heroes @bt_uk BT are so expensive for the service they provide. I had nothing but problems with them. Now will another provider, better internet speed and if a problem the phone answered quicky by a clear English-speaking operator and this for almost half the price your mother is paying.

  • partofthepride8 Andy AVFC 🇺🇦 (@partofthepride8) reported

    So I've just found out that #UFC280 is on @btsport Box office, I've been looking firsts to this event for so long, but I believe that you can shove me paying an EXTRA £20 right up your f**kin arse you thieving t**ts.. Time to cancel all together I think. Time to seek alternatives

  • chrisrankinMUFC Christopher Rankin (@chrisrankinMUFC) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    Not happy at all with @rioferdy5 on BTsport!! More or less saying Ronaldo needs and wants are bigger than united his team mates an ten hag, ronaldo can **** off as reported by @lauriewhitwell he's on free since summer NO1 WANTED him tuchel paid with his job over not want him

  • RedOyibo10 . (@RedOyibo10) reported

    @TheCenci @btsport It’s bad for the Premier League brand. They prefer to ignore it.

  • Hells4Heroes Helen (@Hells4Heroes) reported

    I am currently at my mums waiting on the phone to talk to someone from @bt_uk about her ridiculously slow Internet speed, which they are charging her £42.76 a month for...I've now been waiting for over 30 minutes... 🤬🤬
