    @jimwilkz @btsport Worst part of it is Glenn McGrath attempting to be nice and gracious when talking about England. Jeez, he was the biggest 'Pommie' basher of them all!

    @bt_uk Your broadband is garbage. Wi-fi drops out constantly and lucky if I can download anything in under a day

    @bt_uk after a terrible night watching Salford rugby, I come home and think, I will out the music channel on..... Not one of them work! Do I have them in your rubbish channel selections where you suck Sky off?

    @Smeagle1845 @bt_uk No one should have to be abused in the first place. I take it you’ve never received bigotry?

  • JMORAN_10
    Jonathan Moran (@JMORAN_10) reported from Sale, England

    @bt_uk every time I watch a football match via my box the sound stutters every 10 seconds (both sky and by sport) . The picture is fine just the sound…. Can someone help?

    @bt_uk We can't get through on email or customer chat. Currently on hold on the phone. Is broadband down in M16, Manchester?

  • wheatabeat
    Grim Up North (@wheatabeat) reported from Rochdale, England

    That massive Urn graphic they have to interchange with replays is tragically bad. Like some horrid clip art thing. It’s irritating me miles more than England’s tribulations. #ashes #AusvsEng @btsport

  • storm_imaging
    Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Adlington, England

    @bt_uk hi, I’ve had an ongoing issue with a home move since last week. Apparently it’s being dealt with - this morning I’ve just received an email asking if I want the move cancelled. I don’t. I’m in the property. I’ve been messaging about this for some days now.

  • femaledec
    Cheyvonne Bower (@femaledec) reported from Croft, England

    Wow. @bt_uk are ‘sorry I find my bill confusing’. It’s not confusing. I’ve never had a landline plugged in but being charged for random calls to the talking clock for two months. A burglar perhaps? 😡

  • Nickbr1001
    Nick Broughall (@Nickbr1001) reported from Sale, England

    If @bt_uk suggest you switch to @EE to save you money, say no. Painful process from day 1. Direct debit initially set up wrong, 8 phone numbers with random charges on the bill. Awful experience.

    jomufc4ever 💙 (@joguy1967) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    How quickly can any other #internet providers get me on line - #sky #virgin ? Not @bt_uk and I’ll tell you why after 😡😡😡 back to my MP @JamesDalyMP for the second day for help !

  • IndomitableUK
    Indomitable Strength Barbell Club (@IndomitableUK) reported from Salford, England

    I’d personally like to thank @bt_uk for being the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. 2 months after my order & I’ve been messed around constantly with still no broadband or phone line. Nobody knows what’s going on. CCTV, card terminals and computer all left useless with no net.

    **** off @btsport so biased towards city it’s laughable , see you in the semis #shite

  • amandaleehull
    Dr Amanda Lee (@amandaleehull) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @bt_uk three different bills to get out the contract - lots of phone calls and your bills get higher every time… hope these calls are all recorded as thanks for opening the complaint - looking forwards to a formal response . #CustomerService #poorservice

    Mitch (@Mitchx0161) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk The text service just offers to book an enginer really all the other steps I've done randomly goes off at 1 in the morning surely ain't a fault on the line

  • Juevans70A
    Julie Evans (@Juevans70A) reported from Sale, England

    So annoying when your given a date for broadband installation sat in all morning and no one has been in touch to explain it’s been delayed for 3 weeks and then it will be reviewed still in confirmed date so now have no network as it has cancelled my current network 😡 @bt_uk

  • TimDuckworth7
    Tim Duckworth (@TimDuckworth7) reported from Bury, England

    Why have #BTSport got Owen Hargreaves on as a pundit? ******** relevance has he got? Moved to #Manchester and spent 6 years on the sick.

  • MrPeteEdwards
    Pete Edwards (@MrPeteEdwards) reported from Urmston, England

    Hello @bt_uk and @WeAreOpenreach how can it take 3 weeks , to not resolve a broadband dropping issue in a Manchester property. Our broadband is off.. and seemingly no-one know why.

  • matthornby
    MattH (@matthornby) reported from Blackburn, England

    @bt_uk who do we contact to sort out the phone line at my Grandma's house, a building site next to hers has brought the wire down. She has been off since last Wednesday, had 2 engineers here and still hasn't been reconnected!! Also told to cancel her holiday

  • petrolheadtoo
    Gary (@petrolheadtoo) reported

    @bt_uk For example why is it no longer possible to direct message BT on X. That was useful and an actual person replied. I got a bot earlier and BT should be ashamed of it. I asked about compensation and it said which service do you need help with and gave 4 options.

  • stoopo

    @bt_uk now got rid of the voicemail but the line crackle is bad. Cables look sound. It’s been like this four days she says.

  • me_not_animal
    🐧 Me Might be Animal! 🐧 (@me_not_animal) reported

    @bt_uk I’ve spoken to your ‘technical team’ on three occasions today, each time ‘our systems are down’ they are meant to be calling me back tomorrow! Still no closer to fixing his phone though

  • Smicer999
    Darren Smith (@Smicer999) reported

    @bt_uk I must have had 10 complaints raised and closed according to your SMS messages. I want an email address where I can document in detail the atrocious customer service I’ve experienced. Are you saying you provide no electronic communication mailbox at all for complaint procedures?
