    @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

    @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

    @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

  • 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?

    Chris Griffiths 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@cymruchris) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @bt_uk I've just released I'm being charged for a sim that I asked to be disconnected months ago. Can you help please?

  • ibsen67
    Alwyn (@ibsen67) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • lowri_anne
    lowri anne williams (@lowri_anne) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport do the right thing and let us cancel our contract! I’m a zero hours worker and every penny counts. @SkySports and @PremierSportsTV have been more than fair #DoTheRightThing #getamoralcompass

  • 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?

    @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?

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • markygee6

    @btsport sort the commentary audio out! Sounds like Sav and Co are commenting from someone's front room. Terrible! Dead atmosphere.

    @peteclase @btsport @virginmedia Yes it’s awful. Gone to @Channel4 instead. @btsportrugby @btsport aren’t bothered it seems #EDIvMUN

  • darth_noga
    Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

    Welsh1 (@D1Bluebird) reported

    @bt_uk Yes, BT is the service provider. BT need to exclude faults in the area and to be honest you should run tests. I've just tried to ring the Restaurant and the line is still constantly engaged. Ring the number yourself Come on BT go the extra mile. Support local businesses.

    @bt_uk Hi BT. I'm eligible for BT Home Essentials, but I'm not a BT or EE customer. I need to apply online as I can't use the phone due to a disability. I can't find an online application for new customers. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks. @Ofcom

  • IQuitMuskspace
    Mark Haynes (@IQuitMuskspace) reported

    @bt_uk Sorry but you really don't give a sh*t. You fekk up at every contact. Hopeless 'guides', rude, dismissive, unwilling to take ownership, never advise calls are recorded on call backs and now trying to charge me for a temporary fix!!! PATHETIC.

  • Michael35427696
    Michael E (@Michael35427696) reported

    @bt_uk still no reply to our complaint raised last week on the non arrival of your engineer to install full fibre for the 3rd time. Instead you closed the complaint sayng matter resolved !! Lies ! I am not waiting 30 mins in the phone either to get through to an advisor!

    Peter Nunn (@PeterNunn3) reported

    The heavy rains over the past week have knocked out out internet, so for the first time in years I can’t watch Le Mans… Boo Hope you can fix it ASAP @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk 😒

    Steve 'beyond the bounds of respectability' (@Stever_wales) reported

    @bt_uk I am trying to reach your customer support to get an overdue promised update on case no C10002481840. Being on hold for an hour, purposely being ignored i assume. Please help. Not a good experience as a new customer.

  • SportyOsteo
    Jacki (@SportyOsteo) reported

    @bt_uk can you please update me as to when the phone lines will be back up and running in SS177BW No 149 has my elderly relative without a phone line and no communication for over 12 days. She has a help line that obviously works off your system. Many thanks. Jacki

  • DBDclothing
    DBD (@DBDclothing) reported

    @bt_uk I am at my wits end with your stupid service. I’ve been without email for 48 hours and you’re just sending me in circles, even when I speak to your people. Do you have a human being that actually knows how your business works?

  • The_Change_666
    💫Adam👀 (@The_Change_666) reported

    This fault was fixed by the next day but have had multiple outages since this. Currently there is another outage for me. @bt_uk

    Paul Williams (@DonPauleone1987) reported

    @bt_uk hi. Hope you’re well. Tried DMing you about an issue with my account but I keep getting an auto response to log in to the app. Part of the issue I’m having is not being able to do that. I’m not calling 150 either. Please can someone reach out. Thanks. Paul.
