    @BTCare I have received calls 2 days in a row claiming my PC has a malware issue. I have hung up on both calls, I am assuming this is a scam. This seems to be on the increase.

    @bt_uk my internet is down, I’m stuck in with 2 kids on lock down, and after nearly 45 minutes on the phone you still have not answered. Absolutely disgusting customer service 😡😡😡😡😡

    @bt_uk I have a very bad broadband connection today, trying to WFH is proving difficult. BT not says no fault but there most definitely is

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk The engineer. We were told when we called that our Internet was 'the worse it could be'& that we needed something on our line fixing. The engineer text me saying he ran a line test at my house and then left. Since then our Internet has still been disconnecting and is as slow--

  • gottapulse Gottapulse (@gottapulse) reported from Witham, England

    @bt_uk I have been trying to cancel my BTsport subscription for 40 minutes now but each time I get transferred to cancellations the line goes dead. Has happened twice now. Please advise.

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @KillerKoalaz @bt_uk Hmm... There's various things you can try to see if it on your network or the actual connection

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk hello. We were due to have our engineer out today between 8-1 to fix our Internet which we have been told is 95% in amber and working at the worst rate. I have had a text at 10:19 claiming that our service is back to normal, but no engineer has knocked on the door (1-)

  • Enge21 Enge Gray (@Enge21) reported from Great Dunmow, England

    @londonirish ********? My @btsport box ******* died this afternoon so didn’t see it.

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk This has been an ongoing issue for a few weeks now, my partners phone keeps switching to mobile data because it keeps dropping out and now she has none left 😑

  • jonesy23 lee jones (@jonesy23) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @bt_uk @BTCare Hi Team. I currently have the fibre 100 package (fibre to home) however I seem to experience severe performance issues when we have 2 laptops running in the apartment. Could you please contact / send a wii fii boaster possibly ?

  • Sandsy79 💁🏽‍♀️Emma💁🏽‍♀️ (@Sandsy79) reported from Halstead, England

    I can honestly say the customer service at @bt_uk is second to non. Even though they don’t connect me for 3 weeks!!!! They’ve still been great 👍🏽

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk To the mobile number, correct? I just want to make sure the mobile number is legitimate as BT have never text me from a regular mobile number before. Cheers ☺

  • xTerronga 𝖝𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖆 (@xTerronga) reported from Braintree, England

    @bt_uk This came back no issue, but I can confidently say there is an issue

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @KillerKoalaz @bt_uk Perhaps a device or person on your network is using it heavily at this point?

  • SJWilding Simon Wilding🔸🇪🇺 (@SJWilding) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    Absolutely shocking "help" from @bt_uk regarding a total **** up with a new broadband/landline order leaving a grieving widow basically alone and uncontactable. Thanks.

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk As it was before. We have been having problems for months with our connection, and are really put out that nothing seems to have been fixed today after finally having an engineer out to help. He said that there might be a problem with our router and he has--

  • pseveruscarter Paige 📚🎮 (@pseveruscarter) reported from Sudbury, England

    @bt_uk Hiya, we ended up calling BT again and got some answers. Turns out there is an external problem which is due to be fixed this week. Thank you for your help :)

    @bt_uk Expected fix date is Thursday? That's absolutely ridiculous don't you think? £45 a month yano...

  • MarcusRobson2 Marcus Robson (@MarcusRobson2) reported

    @SkySportsGolf if viewing figures and demand are higher for women’s PGA golf than men’s PGA Tour golf, then fair enough, but at least tell us so we can cancel our subscriptions and/or let someone like @btsport take over.

  • Arronm_7 Arron (@Arronm_7) reported

    @arielhelwani @btsport How can you break down fights that aren’t real? Am I missing something here

  • pukkadog lee shepherd (@pukkadog) reported

    @bt_uk No issues it just keeps dropping out randomly,time to go to another supplier

  • YAGWG The Man Who Shouldn't Exist (@YAGWG) reported

    @bt_uk Had a caller yesterday afternoon claiming to be from BT saying my internet connection is showing errors - I knew he was a lying scammer straightaway, I also have reason to believe they were spoofing their caller ID.

  • jeannie_pie Jeannie pie (@jeannie_pie) reported

    @bt_uk Continued. I have now selected London region, but although the serial recording issue sorted, the channel reception from London is bad - hence why I used to use SE(kent) region. I'm NOT happy with this change or the response from BT or Youview

  • ryanh537 Ryan Harman (@ryanh537) reported

    @bt_uk how I request an upgrade to the area? Been having constant problems. On the phone and someone said about btwholesale website has a form that if enough people sign it, something will be done.. I can't find it. Can you provide a link please?

  • GameDevGuy_ GameDevGuy (@GameDevGuy_) reported

    Something really soothing about waking up for the first time in your new house. Everything is still upside down but we are now in. @bt_uk screwed us over big time and we now need to wait until 7th Dec for fibre but I’m not gonna let that ruin my move.

  • drmarkrthomas Mark Thomas (@drmarkrthomas) reported

    @bt_uk really disappointed to have been blocked from leaving BT broadband well outside my contract expiry. To make it worse, I've now been charged for 5 months service I've not used. BT were very unhelpful when I tried to sort this out as a busy doctor working in the pandemic
