  • Cover4Caravans Richard Burgess (@Cover4Caravans) reported from Billericay, England

    Why am I surprised? Online account with @btsport I can do anything other than cancel my account! At £36 a month we don’t think is good value but they make it so difficult to cancel. Shame the FCA don’t regulate them!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

    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.

  • Therockstar111 Rowan Richards (@Therockstar111) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk Can you tell us all actually what has happened to be broadband network in the Chelmsford area and approximately how long will service return to normal so we can make arrangements please?

  • theessexsog Mike Miners (@theessexsog) reported from Billericay, England

    @bt_uk will complaint VOL013-599112566910 make me the unhappiest BT broadband customer ever or do I have to add all my other complaints to win?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 😡😡😡😡😡

  • jonesy23 lee jones (@jonesy23) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk @BTCare Hi Team. I currently have the fibre 100 package (fibre to home) however I seem to experience severe performance issues when we have 2 laptops running in the apartment. Could you please contact / send a wii fii boaster possibly ?

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • prof_j_mitchell John Mitchell (@prof_j_mitchell) reported from Bromley, England

    I remember when @bt_uk had the customer service mantra of Right first time. Seem a long time ago from recent experience.

  • KroValeria Caro Valeria (@KroValeria) reported from Tilshead, England

    @bt_uk No thank you! I have been explaining the same problem for 3 months to all different levels of customer service you have. I’m not happy with your service, and it will definitely get worst if it doesn’t get sorted after today conversations with your team and the aerial team! 🤨😡

  • jlarsson89 Johan Larsson (@jlarsson89) reported from Eltham, England

    @bt_uk Actually you can, you just won't because of company policy. Any ISP that actually gives a shit about being an ISP would've sorted everything out in at most 3 business days. Yours sincerely, "Jonah"

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported from Slough, England

    @bt_uk lost faith in BT ,rang BT yesterday by chance , only to find out that in December, a BT customer service advisor, only extended my contract until a further year without my permission, how bad is that, honestly I have lost my Trust with BT, people watch out.

  • miltipello Joshua Milton (@miltipello) reported from Camden Town, England

    Very slow on the uptake, or @btsport have failed miserably on publicising it, but the fact they've attained some @NHL live game rights is potentially huge. They've done a great job with MotoGP and increasing baseball coverage, so hopefully they step it up with hockey too.

  • ConnettAdam adam connett (@ConnettAdam) reported from Ottery St. Mary, England

    Hi @bt_uk a bit of a problem we have chucked away the return sticker that was attached to our new fibre hub to send the old bit box back is is possible you can send another one so we can get it back to you. Cheers.

  • prof_j_mitchell John Mitchell (@prof_j_mitchell) reported from Bromley, England

    @bt_uk Changed TV deal now getting emails about returning the equipment. Customer service no idea why. ‘Wait until the new deal kicks in and they’ll probably stop’

  • Bernie82_ Steve Bernard (@Bernie82_) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Do we really have to see this @btsport ad every 60 seconds. Bad enough to watch it once #BBL09

  • 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

  • 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.)
