  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @btsportfootball @btsport Anthony taylor if thats a penalty for PSG then the game is dead. Go and hang your head in shame

  • MarionPettet Marion Pettet 💙 (@MarionPettet) reported from Kelvedon Hatch, England

    When you're supposed to get compensation for a missed appointment or service why do we have to "claim" it & why is the "claim" window time limited? Perhaps @bt_uk can explain, especially as they boast about it.

  • CharlotteHuzzey essexgingerbread (@CharlotteHuzzey) reported from Basildon, England

    @bt_uk I am trying to cancel my service but have been waiting for an hour to be connected. Please help. Thanks

  • Bull_Diggy Bull Diggy #GSBOUT (@Bull_Diggy) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk my internet is down, I’m stuck in with 2 kids on lock down, and after nearly 45 minutes on the phone you still have not answered. Absolutely disgusting customer service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • RetrogamesNow Roly's Arcade (@RetrogamesNow) reported from Brentwood, England

    @BTCare we are at our wits end with your customer service. You continually cancel our appointments as you say our service is fixed but it’s INTERMITTENT! And you have already admitted it’s a terrible service, and every weekend regular as clockwork you cancel our next engineer!

  • kateMorris102 Kate Morris (@kateMorris102) reported from London, England

    @bt_uk Dear BT the service is certainly not a download speed of 8.94. This is an ongoing problem. Pls can you let me know what your tests showed?

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @KillerKoalaz @bt_uk Perhaps a device or person on your network is using it heavily at this point?

  • COLFESeconomics COLFESeconomics (@COLFESeconomics) reported from London, England

    @BTCare need urgent help. Builders have inadvertently taken out phone cable so have no phone/internet. Please help!

  • Enge21 Enge Gray (@Enge21) reported from Great Dunmow, England

    @londonirish ********? My @btsport box ******* died this afternoon so didn’t see it.

  • howiesway Darren (@howiesway) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @BTCare I have received calls 2 days in a row claiming my PC has a malware issue. I have hung up on both calls, I am assuming this is a scam. This seems to be on the increase.

  • kiekyobadeo KX (@kiekyobadeo) reported from London, England

    For a company that prides themselves as Europe’s largest telecoms service provider, @bt_uk have the most lousy customer service team in history! If I go into detail on what I’ve been through!! All because of one master socket install. Which mind you still hasn’t been resolved.

  • Huskymannia Alan Vincent (@Huskymannia) reported from London, England

    @England @_DeclanRice @bt_uk Didn't realise he played, never heard his name at all

  • DannyDrury Daniel Drury (@DannyDrury) reported from Billericay, England

    @bt_uk internet been down all day today, not the first time either. Both Working from home and now both lost a days pay. Really not impressed

  • MarionPettet Marion Pettet 💙 (@MarionPettet) reported from Kelvedon Hatch, England

    Thank you @bt_uk for helping me. It seems that I wasn't correct as they resolved the issue within their time frame & I wasn't entitled. (The wording could be clearer though.) They also compensated me for a missed visit. I apologize.

  • kiekyobadeo KX (@kiekyobadeo) reported from London, England

    IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR BROADBAND , DO NOT GO WITH @bt_uk !! THE WORST COMPANY EVER!!! Been waiting at my flat since 8am, only to call up and find out the appointment was not booked correctly !!! Everyone that works at @bt_uk clearly have an IQ of a toddler.

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @jenniseex @bt_uk @virginmedia Yep. I have very poor Internet in my home and pay large prices. Everytime I phone to get it rectified, I'm told there is nothing wrong with the WiFi and my house is the issue. Pathetic. I detest them

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @KillerKoalaz @bt_uk Hmm... There's various things you can try to see if it on your network or the actual connection

  • tinamreynolds Tina Reynolds (@tinamreynolds) reported

    @bt_uk internet still completely atrocious even after the engineer spent hours trying to fix it. If anything, it might actually be worse. Guess tomorrow's task will be another few hours trying to get through on the phone 😶

  • willfu8 William Fu (@willfu8) reported

    @John_Guy1 @bt_uk Mines been down for hours now , orange flashing light on and off all day for a week.

  • chadSTERjohn John Chadwick (@chadSTERjohn) reported

    @bt_uk I really need some help

  • tychee_ ty (@tychee_) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Kevin, sadly no when I search my landline number. Looks like there are some reports around my general area on down detector though. Homehub is a constant orange/red colour.

  • Mike34775 Michael (@Mike34775) reported

    @Angels35Karen @bt_uk If you have ftc, a new provider is n’t going to make the faintest difference as the service will utilise the same faulty infrastructure.

  • AbbeaJackson Abbea Jackson (@AbbeaJackson) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Theresa There isn’t much point. I’ve just been informed that BT do not have the ability to send out Open Reach Engineers and in addition, when they run tests which say that there is an External Problem, they are not able to act upon it because they are not engineers.

  • mrsmendez clare (@mrsmendez) reported

    @bt_uk we’re having ongoing issues with our broadband connection- engineer yesterday - still no better - will start looking for an alternative provider!

  • willfu8 William Fu (@willfu8) reported

    @John_Guy1 @bt_uk Nah I’m with BT, super slow speeds and constant cutting off. They are sending me a new router as they said my line is ok

  • Mike34775 Michael (@Mike34775) reported

    @candicemcqueen1 @Angels35Karen @bt_uk I’ve seen it before with freestanding lamps - weird likes but does happen. I’d unplug everything you can and reboot your router and see if it makes a difference. If it does switch on 1 item at a time until you find out what’s causing the issue

  • TheComp24 Compounder (@TheComp24) reported

    @bt_uk Yes it looks like there is. Will I need to wait until the estimated fix time is done? It says it will by 10:14pm
