  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Colchester, England

    @bt_uk There isn’t that’s the problem... everytime the track order says update on such a date it then just says delayed. Really is disgraceful.

  • 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!

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

    @bt_uk Still terrible

  • Kegmanplays Keg Man Plays (@Kegmanplays) reported from Sproughton, England

    @Mark_Elkington @LeeCotton1 @WWEGP @btsport I get that, but there's a decent size roster there & with enough rotation (which I'm sure there will be) that should help stop things being stale. Plus there's a good chance a few more names will be announced too I see it working. Khan is a savvy man & the elite know what's up

  • wizedude_ Paul Boon (@wizedude_) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @Realallardyce_ #allardyce no one gives a shit about your comments on @btsportfootball @btsport you are a #traitor to #football and deserve no #TV airtime at all you are a cheating, no good back handed ***** manager who derserves to be banned from #football all together.

  • SallyKramers Sally Kramers (@SallyKramers) reported from East Bergholt, England

    Hi @bt_uk my WiFi speeds are so low at the moment that it took me ten minutes to load a webpage to find your twitter handle. Please help.

  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    So back to the @bt_uk saga, ordered 12th sept, told engineer would install on 27th sept, no one turned up, phoned & told no network had been built & would get a phone call yesterday, didn’t happen. Called today & next update 9th November. Absolutely disgraceful.

  • Lottievr4 Charlotte Read (@Lottievr4) reported from Colchester, England

    @Greg__Holmes @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I raised a complaint with them last week about my broadband constantly dropping out, heard nothing until they sent me a text just to say my complaint is closed! No investigation, no communication. Useless.

  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    Shocking from @bt_uk ... mum and step dad ordered broadband 3 weeks ago for new property, engineer booked for today, doesn’t turn up. Ring them and told no network is built and won’t be for a while, yet website says everything’s up and running! Complaint made.

  • wizedude_ Paul Boon (@wizedude_) reported from Ipswich District, England

    How disgraceful is it that @btsportfootball have #allardyce on TV. He is a no good cheating scum who took back handers and should never be allowed on #TV @btsport you should be #ashamed of yourselves. Sam Allardyce should never be allowed on TV ever!! #disgrace #btsport

  • IRDavies90 Ian Ross Davies (@IRDavies90) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @scottyd501 @xboxuk @btsport @bt_uk Yeah just wanted to check my options first, was hoping they’d help a loyal customer out... £46.99 a month at the moment.

  • Robzx6r Rob McGuckin (@Robzx6r) reported from Capel Saint Mary, England

    @btsport charging for the McGregor fight tonight. Time to cancel BT sport!

  • AnneRuddock Anne Ruddock (@AnneRuddock) reported from Colchester, England

    @bt_uk Not a new build at all. Several operators ordered my broadband (phone line’s working fine) & then it kept being cancelled by the service provider. Numerous phone calls to yourselves, promised call backs didn’t happen. I gave you over 2 weeks to sort it out before going elsewhere

  • pauldungey Paul Dungey - a life with dogs ❤️ (@pauldungey) reported from Colchester, England

    The sound for the manchester utd match on BT Sport 2HD live is terrible, the crowd is louder than the commentary, mind you @RobbieSavage8 is one of them so it's not all bad!! @btsportfootball @btsport

  • andydbayford Andy Bayford (@andydbayford) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @bt_uk No we have intermittent service on all devices, I reported it after Christmas and got an email yesterday to say the problem was outside and had been addressed, clearly not! I am at work now so don’t have account details to hand...

  • LizzieMizzie_ Lizzie 🎭 (@LizzieMizzie_) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @bt_uk hi. We have a BT Infinity hub. WiFi doesn’t work when I’m in my bedroom on my iPhone. Just kicks me out and back onto 4G. On my iPod, I have to be sitting in the middle of my bed to get WiFi. I’ve tried resetting iPhone network and the hub to no avail. Might have to get +

  • rando__ James (@rando__) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    @bt_uk hi need to cancel an order with you, what’s the phone number please :)

  • andydbayford Andy Bayford (@andydbayford) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @bt_uk Hello Kelly, In answer to your question, I pay for complete Wi-fi yes, have I ever experienced a month with no issues, No! I have 3 discs one of which says it’s working and is 3 metres away from the TV shown on my initial post!

  • coopemania Ben Cooper (@coopemania) reported from Rowhedge, England

  • AjaibHussain Ajaib Hussain (@AjaibHussain) reported

    @kqbrain @virginmedia @bt_uk I also noticed a significant drop in VM broadband services recently in Medway . VM can easy text if services are down or being repaired in the area PROCTIVELY but they rather do Sales calls !! Don’t know BT and how good their services are in reality but worth checking.

  • tashastanwick Tasha Stanwick (@tashastanwick) reported

  • CardinalLacey Damian Lacey (@CardinalLacey) reported

    @bt_uk waiting for BT to reconnect my internet. Without service since August when they let sky seize my line. I have waited in for 4 none existent engineer visits. Can't complete my university studies. Shocking customer service. Won't be staying with you once it's sorted

  • keith_jebb Keith Jebb (@keith_jebb) reported

    @Apple watch yr helpline holding track list. I got EchoSmith’s ‘Over My Head’ with the ominous line ‘Is it too late, too far gone to fix this.’ 😳 Anyway, turns out to be a @bt_uk issue. Not sure if that’s good thing.

  • KittyCrossfire 👻🦙Kitty Crossfire🦋👻 (@KittyCrossfire) reported

    @bt_uk I'm away from home at the moment if any issues with it when i return I'll let you know.

  • Fatberts Nat (@Fatberts) reported

    @bt_uk my broadband has been off for a month . No updates . Keep getting cut off the phone . Live chat useless . Someone needs to take ownership of the issue . I don’t have time to keep chasing you
