  • KJL1719 Kial (@KJL1719) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @BTCare @rioferdy5 Bloody terrible news. I can't remember the last time I watched it since ITV lost it. I Used to love sitting down with my brother's when we were younger watching it on ITV. Money is ruining the game and nothing can stop it!

  • Trevor_Tau1 TvT (@Trevor_Tau1) reported

    @bt_uk I don't want to be compensated for loss of earnings, but you need to appease me as a customer, at least cancelling my bill for the month or something along those lines. Fault ref # is VOL013-718284185548.

  • SouthZeal Sheena Davies (@SouthZeal) reported

    @bt_uk My elderly dad’s broadband has broken again after 4 days! That’s over 100 days without service now. Are you waiting for him to change provider so you don’t have to compensate him for this appalling service?

  • ElBongo87 Graham Bell (@ElBongo87) reported

    @bt_uk . Worst Broadband service available. No service for over a week, no call backs and no compensation because they failed to book appointments and call backs. Totally disgusting worst service ever. Do not go with them at all.waste of time and over priced money

  • AndrewS32704070 Andrew Shaw (@AndrewS32704070) reported

    @bt_uk No I've nothing to hide. Answered just after 2 hours and then another hour to log, again the fault. Where there is industrial action you need to bring I'm adequate support from India. And for vulnerable elderly people saying just use online chat is unforgivable. @Offcom

  • Atomic_Chops Atomic_chops (@Atomic_Chops) reported

    @bt_uk your call center Quality staff need to sort their stuff out because the state of these calls to customer service and sales is unreal thank god I'm not a customer I'll just stay where I am because who could be dealing with BT staff brutal I say how is quality missing it

  • AllZeeZ AllZeeZ (@AllZeeZ) reported

    @bt_uk Once again a massive thank you to #LukeinLincoln. When everyone else was refusing to help me, he turned things around. What did he do? He provided me great customer service, he provided me a solution that ensured I had a running wifi, he made sure to stay in contact.

  • darkmatter111 Simon Briggs FRAS (@darkmatter111) reported

    What's the point of your complaint's system BT you close a case just in the hope it goes away. Utter joke, my BT engineer appointment put back yet another month @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp #BTarerubbish

  • brian_roos Brian Roos (@brian_roos) reported

    @FromLe2 Oopsie, bit of pressure there on @btsport all of a sudden. Poor taste on this segment

  • elm1968 Emma Monckton (@elm1968) reported

    @btsport how hard is it to get someone to answer a question!! On hold once for 18 mins. Now 11 mins. Plus a detailed ‘chat’ with nothing solved. I WANT TO CANCEL. SHALL I JUST STOP DD!!! You’ll soon contact me when you want my money!!

  • ElBongo87 Graham Bell (@ElBongo87) reported

    @bt_uk . Had my wife crying after surgery due to their customer service being disgusting and promises not being kept. Waiting weeks for a manager call back to get a normal advisor to say manager has looked and decided no.
