  • grahambrown1875 Graham Brown (@grahambrown1875) reported from Penicuik, Scotland

    Anyone else's @btsport cut out regularly when watching online? It's awful🤬

  • kari_mcburnie Kari McBurnie (@kari_mcburnie) reported from Dunfermline, Scotland

    @btbusinesscare I’ve been trying to cancel an order for two weeks now. Can’t get through to anyone, no live chat available. Log in details not correct etc and unable to email in to you. Refused delivery of items. Please can someone contact me as a matter of urgency. Thanks.

  • intergeri Clemfandango 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@intergeri) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Bobfryer5 @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk He scored on the rebound. If he hadn't you'd all be talking about his **** penalty. My word, you idiots are thick.

  • gavsuave Gabhainn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gavsuave) reported from Dunfermline, Scotland

    @btsport cancel coverage of game at ibrox tonight!

  • PrettyDemented Shell 🏳️‍🌈 (@PrettyDemented) reported from Dalgety Bay, Scotland

    @bt_uk Hi, i’m not a customer of yours, but we’ve just been delivered a tv box for someone who doesn’t live at our address?

  • intergeri Clemfandango 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@intergeri) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @knackersakki @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk So I've had replies saying he got lots of critisism and others saying he got none as all that mattered was that he scored. How badly he took the penalty has no bearing on anything. Comes across like there's a section of fans who don't support the team unless they're winning.

  • RTPeat Richard Peat  (@RTPeat) reported from Kinghorn, Scotland

    @bt_uk I don’t want the equipment removed, I want your customers service removed from it so I can have my service installed rather than having to have hardware pointlessly replaced. Your customer has emigrated, the service is no longer used.

  • Stegadoris Steven Grant (@Stegadoris) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk No, I haven't. Can you provide their details? There isn't an issue with the phone lines but the recent wind up here in Edinburgh has the branches bashing of the lines, so it's only a matter of time before the branches snap the wires, hence I'm trying to take preventive measures.

  • intergeri Clemfandango 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@intergeri) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @GenuineNoob198 @mitchmi09009371 @bt_uk Do you know what a question mark is? It means I'm asking you a question not making a statement. FFS and you're calling me stupid??

  • maryjanesdesk Avantika (@maryjanesdesk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Have been trying to get broadband sorted since we moved over a MONTH ago and between the innumerable errors made by @bt_uk and apparent issues with Openreach's systems I am at my wits end...how do you not inform the provider / the customer if you aren't going to turn up?!!

  • _SmithChris Chris Smith1️⃣9️⃣⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@_SmithChris) reported from Kirkcaldy, Scotland

    Can someone at @btsport please replay the incident and show us where the head knock is, there isn't one. He is trying to get away with one

  • TheCocoAnarchy Colin Norman Wright (@TheCocoAnarchy) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Hey folks. Just to let you know that the following number, 02039665726 is poising as BT (@bt_uk) but it is a cold call scam. Hang up, block & report.

  • RTPeat Richard Peat  (@RTPeat) reported from Kinghorn, Scotland

    @OpenreachHelp Hi Dan, there is no service in their new house as they’ve emigrated - the @bt_uk service is sitting unused. It seems absolutely ludicrous to replace the ONT with a 4 port for a property that only needs 1 FTTP service because of a BT admin issue!

  • jules878 Julia Palmer (@jules878) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Edinburgh calling! Is @bt_uk Internet down?

  • EdiDisgraces Edinburgh’s Disgraces (@EdiDisgraces) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @EdinReporter There are some horrors in Leith that could do with being removed before new expensive paving goes down @BTCare could show it cares…

  • daztynecastle Darren Hush (@daztynecastle) reported from Broxburn, Scotland

    @bt_uk you were supposed to send out an 4g mobile hub but got an email saying it has not been sent! I have not had internet now for nearly a week please help!!

  • Katerinaaah Katerina (@Katerinaaah) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk It was a copper line, changed to digital voice. We have been told categorically that the number cannot be transferred. Are you sure you can help with this?

  • richardriddell richard riddell (@richardriddell) reported from Newtongrange, Scotland

    C'mon @bt_uk waiting for an engineer to show up today to sort out your terrible service.what a surprise no-one has turned up.Even the ee box you sent is hopeless

  • chrisdonia Chris Scott (@chrisdonia) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @FinlayMcF @bt_uk The two next to Tupiniquim on Lauriston Place are in slightly better repair but are mostly used for drug deals and emergency toilet situations 😕

  • ChineryDonna Donna Chinery (@ChineryDonna) reported

    @bt_uk .. in the end, she cut the chat as she couldn't be bothered to help me and now I'm waiting on the phone (along with 1000's of other unhappy customers no doubt).. another 2 hours of my life spent trying to resolve BT's rubbish customer service issues

  • ibronatron Ibrar (@ibronatron) reported

    Horrendous service from @bt_uk . Meant to transfer an old number 5 weeks ago @ still have no working landline. My father also relies on the working landline (lifeline + district nurses + carers) and not one care is given by BT. Can’t even escalate the issue. 0/10 would recommend

  • ToastHub Jeff (@ToastHub) reported

    @bt_uk Look at what again? There is no fault according to the people on your customer support… they offered no help whatsoever and I’m still stuck here with unusable internet.. unable to do my work or anything. Will be sending an email to ombudsman when I have internet again

  • fost31411 Sue Foster (@fost31411) reported

    @bt_uk still no follow up/update or resolution to the problem despite being told someone would call this morning....

  • Ju_Stonehouse Julie Stonehouse (@Ju_Stonehouse) reported

    @bt_uk Thats very poor service. Thats a lot of hours with a hacked email

  • ToastHub Jeff (@ToastHub) reported

    @bt_uk Have already called BT support multiple times today and yesterday. None of them can find the fault in my line even though I don’t even get 1MBps download speed. Appalling service. Will no longer be a customer once contract finishes

  • RichardRayner5 Richard Rayner (@RichardRayner5) reported

    @bt_uk Badly let down 😡 Rang to arrange a new service in new property. Changed my home package and told 7-10 days to let me know about new property. Nearly 3 weeks now 😡

  • Zoophoria Dev Gill (@Zoophoria) reported

    @bt_uk Internet has gone down. The diagnostic bot and the troubleshooter both say that there are network issues in my area. However, the system status says no issues. I think I know which one is right - hint - not the System Status....

  • TheRealPaulKerr Paul Kerr 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@TheRealPaulKerr) reported

    @bt_uk Think there's a problem with my whole area. My speed is currently at 7.56mbps. still way off my contact speed of 52mbps

  • dannynewsoin Danny (@dannynewsoin) reported

    @bt_uk is broadband down? Trying to work and connection is gone
