    @bt_uk I find since we've had BT Internet it's very poor. Had it installed as Sky didn't do fibre in our area. Trouble with initial installation, which was eventually fixed. WiFi drops out daily, lags when the boys play the xbox or if I'm streaming via the PlayStation. #poor

    @Sean4Llandaff @cardiffcouncil There is work happening updating the @bt_uk network on Ely Rd. The newly multi-patched surfaces are now uneven trip hazards. In France councils coordinate with utilities, so that the paths are not lifted and patched continuously. Can we do better?

    6 calls 3 live chats 2 texts 1 complaint cut off 3 times. Still no wifi and continual landline issues for an 82 year old lady who has been shielding for 22 weeks. Worst service in a pandemic from an essential service @bt_uk #btbad #cutoff #isolated direct reply plz

    Just reported scam automated phone call telling me my BT service will be terminated, to @BTCare. Its quite a realistic call with strict tone that u feel u should follow instructions. Did 1471 and number that called me was 01816792513. Clearly scam that's an old London area code

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp cabinet, it seemed all he wanted to do was run a speed test and tell us that the line was ok and off he went! Excuse me for this as I had the same issue and it took me 2 years to get the line replaced, I'm ready to get the same done here as it seems each

    Why is it only now that I’ve thought about #MikeRiley using his self isolation to it’s full advantage. He could sit down & review the countless decisions that ‘his’ referees have f*cked up over the last 2 seasons. I’m sure @SkySports @btsport & @BBCSport could supply the footage

  • UKEmpLawyer
    James Moss (@UKEmpLawyer) reported from Allt-yr-Yn, Wales

    @omitbdf @bt_uk The person I spoke to from @bt_uk, who eventually called me back, did not know what LOS meant on the Openreach ONT. I had to Google it & informed him it meant Loss of Signal. Pathetic service so far - we still have no WiFi.

    @bt_uk Hey there! No it’s still not working 🥺 however, I’m moving out of my house tomorrow and Into my new one. I’ve already spoke to an advisor about this a few weeks back but I’m not sure what to do? There’s no point ringing for an engineer when I’m moving. Shall we DM?

  • nicnacnoopixs
    Nickynackynoo (@nicnacnoopixs) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    @RichCounty27 @bt_uk Unbelievable honestly, we pay for the super fast broadband as we use it for home tv and both for work but am seriously considering moving now - another bloody week with no service and paying a fortune to run a hot spot thru my phone

  • julianevans11
    Julian Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@julianevans11) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk If you provided the service I’m paying for I wouldn’t have to use my mobile data. I’m meant to be working from home tonight and tomorrow night. Do you want to tell my boss I can’t because I don’t have sufficient internet access??

    @btbusinesscare What could I put in a DM that isn't already in my Tweets? I've even include a Complaint Reference number for you.

  • Statto1927
    Simon Hiscocks (@Statto1927) reported from Barry, Wales

    Commentator on this match just apologised if any Portuguese speakers are hearing any “fruity” language as can hear players clearly. Going to be a nightmare for @SkySports @btsport commentators when UK football restarts. Will be continually apologising for bad language 🤬

    Janine Bates (@JanineBates) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk funny how you are supplying data to the nhs workers yet unable to help us switch from you to another provider in the designated time leaving our 15,500 patients unable to get through to us during the pandemic, when they need us most #rumneyprimarycarecentre

    Ryan Crocker (@crocker74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport been trying to cancel or pause my subscription since football sent on hold. Phone lines jammed solid and No method via your website!!! Take a lead out of @sky book, and update your website. £36 a month for nothing! #Corvid19uk

    Neil 'DBtC' (@crfc1876) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk @Tommy_OConnor You should be ashamed writting that, no sports coverage due to most serious situation we are likely to face in peace time and you want to charge 😱😱😱 On the poor service list you go for when this is over...

    Het @bt_uk @EE we don't have a landlines any more and we're never going to subscribe to your ****** ripoff broadband or TV service so can you come and take the cable away? Thanks.

    @bt_uk Service is an absolute joke. AGAIN my Internet doesn't freaking work. Absolute dog ****. I am paying for this crap. 4 days for an engineer. NOT acceptable

    BT Business Care (@btbusinesscare) reported

    @ReformedMr @bt_uk Hi, I'm sorry to hear what is happening. We'd like to help. We've sent you a DM now. Thank you.

  • tringgooner
    Chris (@tringgooner) reported

    @bt_uk I think anyone would be unhappy don’t you? Messed around, then asked for a £20 deposit to that you will hold onto for up to 6 months. It’s a bloody disgrace. That is no way to treat any customer. And you know it.

  • phillyonskem
    The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported

    Every time I have to contact @bt_uk about our business phones, it says webchat is the best option. And every time, without fail, after a least a half hour webchat they tell me I'll need to ring such and such a number. Absolute joke of a company to deal with.

  • alreetson
    namecantbebrank (@alreetson) reported

    @bt_uk She's paying money for this service that she is not getting, do you understand this? That has been ceased without warning of this one line per property policy that was never communicated. What the hell would you do if you encountered similar in your life?

  • Walesguy2
    Mark (@Walesguy2) reported

    @bt_uk Paying a bill should be easy. Automatic. Why do you make it so difficult for your customers? I’ve already spent an hour on this tonight. And your complaints page wouldn’t upload. Funny that. You think I have that time to spend on a **** company that can’t organise itself?

  • phillyonskem
    The Real Philip Lyon (@phillyonskem) reported

    @bt_uk And to add insult to injury, the last 2 times the number they've given me is "not in service". Must be the worst telecoms company in the uk. Prove me wrong.

  • _JoshDenham
    Josh (@_JoshDenham) reported

    Hi guys, is there any reason why my Broadband Hub won't connect this evening? I've tried the usual off and on again, factory reset but no connection whatsoever! Please help? @bt_uk

  • robincornelius
    Robin Cornelius (@robincornelius) reported

    Terrible day for getting work done today @bt_uk internet is down as there is planned maintenance that no one was informed about and no @ThreeUKSupport mobile data at work despite 3-4 bars of signal. This happens too often on your network had to go for a drive to get data
