  • phildalgleish phil *wash your hands* (@phildalgleish) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Brilliant @bt_uk scam, I mean poor systems. Existing BT consumer moving house to a BT serviced property. No problem; 3 days max says @bt_uk, oh, can’t find the address of other property in our system (the one they bill and provide the service to) so pay £75 as a new install.

    Absolutely ridiculous @bt_uk that you expect customers to accept not having broadband for 8 days whilst @scotgov ask us to #WFH without any complaint. #EH4 #Stockbridge

  • baldy100 Gregg Aston (@baldy100) reported from Gorebridge, Scotland

    @bt_uk Disappointing service again from BT. Nothing but hassle from the start and terrible coverage from router. 21 days since complaint email has been sent which has gone unanswered. Called today and found very unhelpful and only interested in selling further products. Avoid.

    @btbusinesscare - morning, just wondering why I’m continuing to be overcharged for my products. This is the third month and it’s now becoming very frustrating. What do I need to do resolve the issue? Please don’t say “please call” as this is what I have done.

  • Son_Lyme Son Lyme (@Son_Lyme) reported

    @J_Tanswell The solution is to cast off the SkySports/BTSport closed shop, and allow clubs to sell their own live video feeds of their games - instantly turning 30k seat stadia into infinite seat stadia. These virtual stadiums should allow the physical stadia to reduce prices because ...
