    @EE a few weeks back I could watch BTSport on my Xbox or Fire TV, now I can do neither without being told I need to upgrade my subscription. Can you help please?

  • ippyfuzion Leon Ip (@ippyfuzion) reported from Newport, Wales

    @bt_uk No known issue. Since there was BT van outside my home doing some sort of upgrade on the copper wires of the area. Internet been very poor. Already replaced router twice. When gaming on PC with ethernet cable plug in and someone makes a WhatsApp call my ping spikes to 500ms!

  • AdamLee2011 Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

    Bt sport not working on virgin media 😡 #Btsport #virginmedia

  • Natalieball1984 NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service to my mum who had shielded since March 2020! She can't use BT sports anymore and BT are saying £130+ to remove it!! She doesn't have any money! She is stressed, immune compromised and BT drop this on her! Shameful!

  • GhGriff27 Gavin (@GhGriff27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport I can't access my bt sport app. I pay for "Large Screen" on my phone to cast to my tv but have not been able to use it. Please help.

  • martzreed1975 Martz (@martzreed1975) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport @btsportfootball what I would change in football. Cancel injury time and adopt rugby rules. Clock stops at half time and fulltime and whistle blows when ball out of play.

  • Hanlccook Han🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Hanlccook) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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?

  • jaisullivan Jai Sullivan (@jaisullivan) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MicrosoftHelps Hi, it was bought via @BTCare on 19/10/2020. The model is 1679 and it’s definitely not as a result of any settings issue. It’s a physical problem with the device.

  • BigBernie4 Greg (Big Bernie) MW7BUF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇵🇸 (@BigBernie4) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @bt_uk no service all afternoon in the NP19 7LT area. Checked the status page, no known issues apparently. Tried to speak with an advisor, and there are none available. What's happening please?

  • GerJDav Gerald J Davies (@GerJDav) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @bt_uk @btbusinesscare Any chance you can help @btbusinesscare ? It’s so annoying

  • DonKiano Don Maidment (@DonKiano) reported from Maesycwmmer, Wales

    @btsport The worst and toughest customer service experience I’ve ever had. 40 minutes of my life talking to an operator that had got no nearer to resolving my issue. Absolute awful service. Just ordered the monthly package tonight, paid £25. cancelled same night at a £25 loss

  • TheExiledRobin The Exiled Robin (@TheExiledRobin) reported from Llantrisant, Wales

    If it wasn’t bad enough watching this it’s made so much worse with this TV coverage. Please never let BT Sport have cricket again 😩 @btsport #ashes @Channel7

  • MissESilcox MissESilcox (@MissESilcox) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The ref and VAR taking so long to come to a decision has broken @btsport #Victory #ALeague

  • RedhillsAnnie Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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?

  • johnsey80 Steve Johns (@johnsey80) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I'm not a @bt_uk customer but spoke to Payel via their chat service today to help my sister out. Above and beyond customer service, a credit to the company. Thank you Payel & BT

  • Hanlccook Han🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Hanlccook) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @bt_uk the light on my hub is purple and has been all afternoon. I’ve turned it on and off multiple times. Still no internet. Can someone help me please!

  • Gavinallen Gavin Allen (@Gavinallen) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport make it as hard as possible to leave. No way to cancel via the app, live chatbot says it can’t perform that function. BT person on phone says I have to call my bank to put a bar on the DD they set up. How does a company with service this bad have any customers?

  • Npteggchaser Darren Little (@Npteggchaser) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @bt_uk having trouble with our home broadband. Have followed your advice on texting a number, but no reply & still the same. Also, can't access own account either, even after pin number for resetting password. Can you please assist? Is there any phone number I can ring? Thanks.

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • SamSmithHiggins Sam Smith-Higgins (@SamSmithHiggins) reported from Henllys, Wales

    Shocking service from @bt_uk - no phone or internet for a week! Vulnerable adult here and nobody cares! welfare - ref C37677360 - only comms I'm getting is from Dave at @OpenreachHelp ! Sort it out BT!

  • sean_akers Sean Akers ⚫🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥🎸#REJOIN #3.5% (@sean_akers) reported

    @bt_uk It's generally not the WiFi that's the problem though is it. It's nearly always the WAN connection that's the fault so this is a bit of a useless guarantee really.

  • MJKM MJKM 😊 (@MJKM) reported

    @bt_uk Have I reported the fault? What do you think? On one occasion we lost connection 27 times in 24hrs! That info confirmed by your own staff. No, we’ve had enough, having always been a BT customer, we’re in the process of moving to Sky. Your customer service is non-existent.

  • bliprogers Matt Rogers (@bliprogers) reported

    @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp Day 27!! Now I have home schooling that I won't be able to do. Any ideas how I login in to online lessons for my child? HOW CAN IT TAKE SO LONG TO RESOLVE!!??

  • DnesFi FS/FIDnes (@DnesFi) reported

    Going to extremely difficult to teach remotely when @bt_uk keep delaying installation and connection of internet. Wouldn’t say much for their customer service either. #lockdown

  • DNT1968 DNT (@DNT1968) reported

    I'm supposed to get around 70mbs download and 20 upload but struggling to get 35mbs and 3 upload, been like this for weeks now. Got Halo 2 @bt_uk live in DL1 2LA. Sick of reporting it. Anyone help?

  • original_addick Graham Allen (@original_addick) reported from South Darenth, England

    Hey this is bad practice @bt_uk @BBCNews disgusted to get a call today from BT trying to sell me BT Halo and using challenges of internet demand during Covid as a sales technique.

  • thomas70751343 thomas (@thomas70751343) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks. Perhaps this time will be 3rd time lucky and you will fix the issue finally. Contract end can’t come soon enough

  • CplHicks101 CorpralHicks (@CplHicks101) reported

    Hi @btsport I have BT broadband but don’t want the TV service what is the cheapest way for me to get the BT sports app please?

  • MJKM MJKM 😊 (@MJKM) reported

    @Portal_Queen @bt_uk Yep, this is us. I’m swapping to Sky because the service at BT is atrocious. There is not a day goes by when our connection doesn’t drop out, and it’s often many times a day.

  • Toadhall22 Dr H (@Toadhall22) reported

    @bgir @bt_uk I was quoted 3 Mbps in their fine print but told to expect 7 - 11. I get 6-7. Quoting 3 Mbps means they don’t have to act to improve. How 3 Mbps can be considered a fit for purpose service in 2021 astonishes me...
