    If anyone sent me an email between 5pm and midnight yesterday I didn't receive it. @bt_uk email was down for the 2nd time in a month, and all emails during this period were eaten by a @bt_uk and @YahooCare shaped black hole. #FedUpWithBTandYahoo #Unreliable

    @bt_uk So thanks to @bt_uk I owe £ 159.00 to @SSE for the cancelation of my contract. Then will leave me with no service whatsoever. It was bt that emailed me back in December to anounce I could now get fiber. I hope who ever calls tommoro is fully autherized to financially fix this.

  • fergusboden
    Fergus (@fergusboden) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Apparently an electricity problem has blown our area's internet and they might have to dig up the street to fix it. Anyone who knows me knows this is some of the worst news I could receive. (@bt_uk system was utterly clueless too, which was really helpful.)

    @btsport have to say your trackside mikes are trash! Get it better guys!! Could not hear Chilwell, cannot hear Tuchel!! Poor quality.....

  • janey656

    @btsport BT sports need to follow Sky’s lead and let customers pause their payment UFN all I got when I phoned was it’s not our fault we’re waiting on a decision from the SFA. They said I could cancel BUT I’d have to pay to get out of the contract, Come on BT get a grip.

  • LAYC2015
    LAYC (@LAYC2015) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @bt_uk please help small charity who has no telephone landline and don’t understand why there’s a fault? On hold to very expensive customer service line!

    @bt_uk In which case I need to report our broadband is down.

    @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??

    @bt_uk Thank you, 😌I called on Monday to get some info about the early contract buy out scheme so i asked then to start a complaint.. Thanks again for emailing them. Chris

  • andrew_kemp
    Andrew Kemp (@andrew_kemp) reported from Currie, Scotland

    All the old @virginmedia equipment has been disconnected and unplugged! It’s been like night and day getting @bt_uk #fttp installed, so far 10 families in my street have moved away from VM... that’s what you get for poor customer service

  • 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!

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

    How can teams with no money coming in from gate receipts afford to pay £80 million for a player. Far too much money coming in from @SkySports and @btsport and of course state broadcaster @BBCSport Cancel subscription to all.

  • DavidTannerTV
    David Tanner (@DavidTannerTV) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @MikeyRuddick @btsportfootball @HibernianFC @btsport @sunsetandvine Just read that. To be honest, he’s never a League 1-level player. I move would be good for him. He would to say no to Celtic.

    @bt_uk I’m not in a position to call anyone at the moment… I notice I still cannot access my BT account with an email address I’ve used since 2018. Nothing is working as it should! Could you email me with a solution please.

  • VaeVix
    Vae Vix 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 (@VaeVix) reported

    @bt_uk Your new "2FA" is completely broken as the phone number is not validated. I was able to connect using a temporary number in Cyprus to get my "security" code... It adds nothing to security.

  • DaveKendallPho1
    Dave Kendall (@DaveKendallPho1) reported

    @bt_uk I have an email inviting me to sign up for BT mobile phone plan. I was with BT for yrs then you discontinued your mobile plans and past me on to EE mobile. They were crap. Now you’re doing mobile again. I don’t get it.

  • Gavtaraysin
    Broden 🇬🇧♿✝️ (@Gavtaraysin) reported

    @bt_uk I can't get in my account because of your pass code system is sending out multiple pass codes which neither work, and now it says to wait or cancel. Cancelling does nothing to fix the problem. How long do I have to wait until the pass code system resets?

  • Staggly
    Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported

    @bt_uk @stokeygurl it’s a massive issue they’ve caused know all about - i can’t see bills or sort my wifi out or even renew a contract - so i’m leaving as they have been rude and unhelpful
