    @btsport Hi,I am trying to freeze my £25 subscription but can’t reach anyone on the phone. My login details bring up my EE account which is free and I want to talk about my BT one. Help please!!

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Braintree, England

    @T3RRAF0RM @StadiaWorks @Webby317 @bt_uk On my s10 plus it works great. Connection takes about 2-3 minutes to settle down (lag on controls) but after that I dont notice anything. Looks great on the little screen to! But I wouldn't pay for the service atm.

  • beckiewood69 Beckie Wood (@beckiewood69) reported from Heybridge, England

    @bt_uk I have a very bad broadband connection today, trying to WFH is proving difficult. BT not says no fault but there most definitely is

  • Darkestfrost James bartlett (@Darkestfrost) reported from Braintree, England

    @StadiaWorks @Webby317 @T3RRAF0RM @bt_uk No. Xcloud is using off site servers. Xcloud console streaming is using console hardware. No interest in stadia at all. I'm in the beta for xcloud and it runs seamlessly (for me) even when on a 4g network.

  • SJWilding Simon Wilding🔸🇪🇺 (@SJWilding) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    Absolutely shocking "help" from @bt_uk regarding a total **** up with a new broadband/landline order leaving a grieving widow basically alone and uncontactable. Thanks.

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk This came back no issue, but I can confidently say there is an issue

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk Still having issues this is day 3 now

  • LilyMaeSmith_ Lily Smith (@LilyMaeSmith_) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk disgusting service for new customers. My grandparents who are in their 70/80’s ordered newest bt tv product a few weeks back ahead of them moving house. Only to find bt turned up at old address despite being told of new address and now refusing to come round TIL tues

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk I'm having issues with internet speed again, this has been the past few days, I run a speed test but it says it's all fine, yet I cant load anything on wifi on my phone

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Maldon, England

    @bt_uk Still terrible

  • gottapulse Gottapulse (@gottapulse) reported from Witham, England

    @bt_uk I have been trying to cancel my BTsport subscription for 40 minutes now but each time I get transferred to cancellations the line goes dead. Has happened twice now. Please advise.

  • Therockstar111 Rowan Richards (@Therockstar111) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk Can you tell us all actually what has happened to be broadband network in the Chelmsford area and approximately how long will service return to normal so we can make arrangements please?

  • wilson_76 Neil Wilson (@wilson_76) reported from Chelmsford, England

    And the broadband goes down again........awesome stuff @bt_uk that’s double figures this year already. Shocking service as always........

  • Mattpsychol Matt Brown (@Mattpsychol) reported from Bicknacre, England

    Can anyone at @bt_uk help?!? My parents in 70s have been waiting for phone line & broadband to be installed - order place on 4th July. They’re completed without internet or phone with v poor mobile signal. They rely on internet and in current Covid climate it’s distressing them!

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • jonesy23 lee jones (@jonesy23) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk @BTCare Hi Team. I currently have the fibre 100 package (fibre to home) however I seem to experience severe performance issues when we have 2 laptops running in the apartment. Could you please contact / send a wii fii boaster possibly ?

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk This has been an ongoing issue for a few weeks now, my partners phone keeps switching to mobile data because it keeps dropping out and now she has none left 😑

  • WestVodkadrink Marie Anderson (@WestVodkadrink) reported from Feering, England

    @btsport Absolute joke trying to get through to BT to cancel my BT sport subscription 😡🤬😡🤬

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk Can I cancel my bt tv package

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • LondonHolly1865 Holly (@LondonHolly1865) reported

    @angusramsay @bt_uk Thanks for this Angus - that’s relieving that it might just be a temporary fault in our area and not a problem with my hub. Hopefully it’s fixed before I have to log on for work tomorrow morning 🤞🏻

  • ChrisPalmer001 Chris Palmer (@ChrisPalmer001) reported

    @bt_uk @Maria_Wildlife The new update simply doesn't work - awful. And I haven't the time to call your helpdesk and be on hold for 30 minutes

  • MikePapaKilo Mike Papa Kilo (@MikePapaKilo) reported

    @bt_uk your customer services are appalling. Been on hold an hour now. Chat doesn’t work. Website lags out constantly. What a shambles

  • hairagon charles c (hairagon) (@hairagon) reported

    @virginmedia Text chat is useless. I have been given 2 numbers previously. The1st one I used resulted in a request for more detail which I provided. Nothing further heard from @virginmedia . I complained, got a second number where all i got was being asked if I wanted to cancel sky/ BTSport

  • MG__019 Matty Graham (@MG__019) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, I've had an engineer out (Again) and been told that it will require another engineer to come back out to fix a line in. This is starting to get really frustrating as it's been nearly 2 months since I placed the original order. Please can someone get back to me?

  • dchempstead THFC Forever (@dchempstead) reported

    @_Coaching1 @btsport A tad harsh on Dier to be fair. Terrible goalkeeping too.

  • welshcollie7 Welshcollie (@welshcollie7) reported

    @bt_uk My problem is not with when engineer is due. My problem is that bt website would not let me upgrade sport & tv package until wifi upgrade is done. If I had known this beforehand I would have upgraded the tv and sports first, as I now can't benefit from Black Friday deal on it.

  • ChrisPalmer001 Chris Palmer (@ChrisPalmer001) reported

    @bt_uk No thanks, just get them to sort it please. It's obviously an update issue, I haven't got the time to sit on the phone all day explaining the problem

  • welshcollie7 Welshcollie (@welshcollie7) reported

    @bt_uk I had no idea at the time that this was going to be a problem. I was ordering from a website, 2hich did not inform me it was going to be a problem.

  • jt0000000001 John Suleiman Thomas (@jt0000000001) reported

    @bt_uk No, thanks, I had to cancel my order to re-order which was a pain. But sorted
