    @bt_uk @MikeAubury Read this as: Whenever we feel we can fleece customers by holding big events to random behind a 2nd paywall, we will. Forget that customer already pay a premium to receive BT Sports, because we couldn't give a shit.

  • AnthonyHeys Anthony (@AnthonyHeys) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @NorAmClarets Horrendous from @btsport. “This will be another long ball from Burnley”. Hang ******** on one minute, that’s all arsenal have done. Biased wankers 👀

    @OpenreachHelp @btbusinesscare Really really unhappy customer here. Placed my order for superfast fibre on 31-7-19 and system keeps rejecting my order. Date for install keeps getting put back and getting through to someone on phone is impossible. Order Ref: BT6V95ML.

    @dimspace @Mach2Infinity @bt_uk I must be wrong then! Must be something on their end. Hopefully will be fixed by morning, I could do without a lengthy outage.

  • SamMcCartney Sam McCartney (@SamMcCartney) reported from Burnley, England

    Person calling from 01272 990574 purporting to be from @bt_uk about our internet security and someone was misusing it. They’d have to be good as we don’t have BT B/Band at this location. 😂😂 He wanted to show me if I signed onto s/thing. Phone put down once I called him out. 🤣

  • andiacc andrea Eddleston (@andiacc) reported from Accrington, England

    That's what pissess me off. We pay for this in our extortionate prices. Read my tweet below @Richard Collins @bt_uk @Offcom . Terrible. @bt_uk @BTCare aren't interested. Useless. Apparently @bt don't use @yahoomail anymore. nobody knows / cares.All my medical stuff done thru BT😡

  • benjietvf1 Brian Benjamin (@benjietvf1) reported from Salford, England

    @btbusinesscare Your help lines open at 08.00am, so I call at 08.01am and at 08.41am I give up! Your customer service is simply appalling ! #CustomerService #CustomerExperience #shocking #noreply #needtodobetter

  • jakemac97 Jake McLaughlin (@jakemac97) reported from Wigan, England

    Shows how shit @SkySports has gone when they don’t show one of the biggest derby games in rugby league on television. #WiganvsSaints no wonder @btsport is taking over

  • jamescordon James Cordon (@jamescordon) reported

    @btbusinesscare Does not work - reported our Business line was fine - turns out you have a Nationwide Business Broadband issue with sites having a Static public IP....you have failed to let customers know this is a problem and wasted so much time. Unprofessional and Unacceptable.

  • EdmentKeith Keith Edment (@EdmentKeith) reported

    @bt_uk Sent you the DM just looking for an update on when it’s going to be fixed. I use the WiFi for work so I can’t do anything right now and BT have been very poor for updates on what happening and when it’s being fixed

  • El41n384 Elaine (@El41n384) reported

    @bt_uk Seems a pretty big coincidence that firstly there’s an issue in my area but now, I have a completely unrelated issue after that has seemingly been resolved?? #ismellbs @bt_uk

  • djdtemple David Temple (@djdtemple) reported

    Absolutely shocking service from an @EE representative in their Southampton store. Mis-selling their broadband package while telling me that I was at the end of my @bt_uk contract and now incurring a £50 early termination fee.
