  Wayne Hadley (@WayneHadley) reported 16 minutes ago from Weston-super-Mare, England

  @SkyCricket @BeefyBotham @David215Gower Beefy wants to travel the world promoting his @BothamWines and btw it's something very special 🍷but to call it a day with @David215Gower is a terrible decision. No doubt we will see him on @btsport or @primevideosport

  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?

  James Moss (@UKEmpLawyer) reported 17 minutes ago 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.

  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

  @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

  @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??

  @btsport let me cancel/freeze/suspend my contract. I’m a zero hours worker. Every penny counts. @SkySports & @PremierSportsTV have obliged. #DoTheRightThing #getamoralcompass #supplyteacher @huwbbc

  Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported 26 minutes ago 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?

• 
  Nickynackynoo (@nicnacnoopixs) reported 30 minutes ago 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

  @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?

  @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.

  Don Maidment (@DonKiano) reported 41 minutes ago 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

• 
  Rebecca Irvine (@RebIrvine) reported 46 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @bt_uk on our 30th cal day with no Internet; BT advisors have stated the fault is with @OpenreachHelp but your Internal systems are not talking to oneanother effectively leaving us with no information on the nature of the problem. The estimated fix date goes up weekly. Ideas?

  Tom Neville (@TNevillee) reported 56 minutes ago from Trethomas, Wales

  BT are easily the worst broadband company there is, customer service is absolutely ******* pathetic aswell @bt_uk sort it out

  Gareth Starr (@starr3126) reported 58 minutes ago 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

  Premiership coverage is so much better on @btsport than @SkySportsPL at the moment, more polished, better interviews, less stupid playground style questions by pundits.

  @bt_uk 9 engineer visits, executive level complaint and no resolution and your solution is to close the complaint Why am I paying for a service I’m not receiving

  Paul stagg (@Staggly) reported 3 minutes ago

  @bt_uk are you not contractually supposed to prove a bill? if you won’t let me log in to my account or let me reset passwords etc to get access and still can’t fix this issue after a week surely that’s breach? i will cancel my direct debit until i can access my bills

  Andy Mich (@MrAndyMich) reported 4 minutes ago

  @bt_uk I’m absolutely disgusted, in this day & age of phone scams you have people phoning from unsolicited numbers about contract renewal (+44 1438 989233). All the person on the other end of the phone could say was “I promise I work on behalf of BT”. I said I can promise I’m the king of England. Do you see how stupid and dangerous this practice is? I think as a company you desperately need to review this, it’s dangerous and it’s making me think if you can be trusted at all. In this day and age it’s unforgivable to do this in this manner.

  @adarkelimited @bt_uk It takes days to speak to someone in a far away country then you discover they have made two other accounts in your misspelt name and then decide in the ether that you broken those contracts and swipe £460 from your bank account!!

  @bt_uk @arthur_mp after an hour on hold they said they had an issue and would fix in 72 hours - it’s been a week and now they aren’t answering

  Dear @bt_uk We switched to @EE home broadband 2 months ago and it's been awful since. We're now paying for two bills. Customer service think we switched in September 2025 - incorrect. Today we have no broadband Goodness sake the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

  @bt_uk I have genuinely had enough of your service now. Expecting a £96 refund but instead for the 4th month in a row after I left you have billed me again. This time it's now apparently overdue. This is genuinely unbelievable
