    @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.

  • ferch_Cenydd Hadley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺☠️🌈 (@ferch_Cenydd) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btbusinesscare Oh, you have no idea how much patience I’ve had to excercise with BT for a few years. Improvements seem to made though, sensible call staff recognising a problem straight off, competent engineer sent ASAP. Just need to sort out recurring problem with local telegraph pole!

  • STEVEOLUCKY7 Steveo Davies (@STEVEOLUCKY7) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    Wtf @btsport watched the @ufc main event this morning on record from last night and the recording ends at the last bell , I dont even get to see the winner of potential FOTY...

  • MHswans Mike Houghton (@MHswans) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hey @bt_uk I’ve just had a call from a lady claiming to be BT Open Reach & there is a problem with my internet connection, I need to access my computer whilst on the phone with me to show me and fix the problem. As I’m with @virginmedia I’m guessing this is a scam. Am I right?

  • desta_omar Desta Omar (@desta_omar) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    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

  • murfilicious Chris Murphy (@murfilicious) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk I am still having issues yes, someone at EE is currently investigating whether or not I have the package on my contract (I do)

  • cosmickx 🔮 ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄᴋ ᴍɪsᴀ || (@cosmickx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk is there an internet and landline outage in Cardiff, Wales? Our phone is dead and our internet keeps making a noise and switching itself off

  • starr3126 Gareth Starr (@starr3126) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @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

  • Mr_Mallett666 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿☠ Mr Mallett ☠🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Mr_Mallett666) reported from Newport, Wales

    @btsport sort your streaming service out 🤔

  • 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 🤬

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 4rickus4 Jack Rickus (@4rickus4) reported from Saint Nicholas, Wales

    @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?

  • cosmickx 🔮 ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄᴋ ᴍɪsᴀ || (@cosmickx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk We haven't had internet for the last 3 days, still don't and your customer service has been awful. We all need the internet in the house to work and fulfill tasks but your company just doesn't seem bothered at all.

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

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

  • 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

  • iainmspillane anfänglichinteressantesaberunterwältigendeslied (@iainmspillane) reported from Grangetown Community, Wales

    @btsport Having a few audio issues with the commentary here. A few words are getting garbled and I can’t understand most of what they’re saying. Can you ask Fletcher to take his tongue out of Messi’s arse and that should clear it all up?

  • speedupdating Nick Speed (@speedupdating) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @seimon76 @privilegecafe_ @DC_Wales Try the #DevicesDotNow campaign from @futuredotnowuk which we have been supporting at @bt_uk - with devices going to @Online_Centres - longer term, it may be worth considering joining the network - pob lwc. #digitalinclusion

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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PeteUplink Pete Ainsworth (@PeteUplink) reported

    @bt_uk I know what's happening. The EE network covering in my area isn't strong enough for the hybrid connect to get more than one bar. Really, I didn't want all this, I just wanted to drop BT Sport, but the customer service guy wasn't for taking no for an answer.

  • dina_sonagara Dina Sonagara (@dina_sonagara) reported

    @bt_uk we have been left without an internet connection since yesterday with no communication from either @bt_uk or @OpenreachHelp as to when the issue will get fixed!

  • gulnarhasnain Gulnar Hasnain (@gulnarhasnain) reported

    @CCriadoPerez @bt_uk This is happening to me too! 6months and 5 engineers later - they just keep sending someone out but do not resolve the main issue if installing supply. How does one complaint? C’mon @bt_uk please sort it out.

  • dina_sonagara Dina Sonagara (@dina_sonagara) reported

    @bt_uk I had called and spoken to someone. They said I would receive an update today but this has not been forthcoming. Furthermore you did not tell us that we would lose connectivity for 3 days with a new installation. Rubbish service!

  • eUs_brokendrum Eus (@eUs_brokendrum) reported

    Hi @bt_uk, your engineers have now not attended for two consecutive booked appointments. No phone call or contact. I'm now not going to have internet from next week and I need it to work. Please help!!

  • Niki_Know1 Niki Smith (@Niki_Know1) reported

    Please can you help @bt_uk ? My 78yo mum has had her @Facebook suspended for suspicious activity but can’t reset password as account is linked to her old btinteret email address. This must be a regular problem so hope you can advise on options please. @Facebook so far ignoring me

  • drmatthewhardy Matthew Hardy (@drmatthewhardy) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, this problem only gets worse. It makes me wonder why we have to have a landline number at all, its not something I'd choose to have if given the choice

  • spottyd20733131 spotty dog (@spottyd20733131) reported

    @bt_uk @DrJohnCosgrove For what it is worth, have spoken to BT network team. There is an issue with iplayer and EE which BT and BBC R&D have been trying to fix for two months. No idea if/when it will be fixed.

  • Eclectic_Blue Rick Johansen (@Eclectic_Blue) reported

    @England @bt_uk McManaman is the worst pundit of the lot and certainly not an England legend.

  • author_hughes Julia Hughes (@author_hughes) reported

    Hi there, my son's just been on your group chat for an hour. @bt_uk He's currently working night shifts. When he signed up for BT internet, the initial service provided was patchy. My son wanted to cancel his contract (within the cooling off period). He was persuaded not to.
