    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.

    @bt_uk Hi, my internet is running painfully slow - I’ve done a speed test that’s coming back at 32, but I can’t connect on my devices, also whilst watching Netflix/Prime it’s buffering. Could you arrange a booster for me so I can give that a try before finding a new provider?

  • alext_davies
    Alex Davies (@alext_davies) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk hi was expecting a call back today for a long standing issue where you are charging me for a service that should have been cancelled and I cannot use. I have rung BT about 20times & it’s still not been resolved

  • RunningMissM11

    @bt_uk is the service down today? My connection keeps dropping. It’s done so 8 times and it was doing it yesterday as well as Sunday.

    Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    Your systems work correctly? Once is bad luck but twice is just plain rubbish. There's no online chat available either to sort the issue out. I guess she'll have to spend 2 hours on the phone to you tomorrow trying to get a refund. It's just rubbish! @btsport @BTSportBoxing

    Craig Dyer (@cdyer291) reported from Bury, England

    When I signed up for a new broadband service with BT, it said I would receive a £110 reward card. Never heard anything since and when I go to claim on my account, it’s not listed, any ideas @BTCare ?

    Steve Mcmanaman is just cancer to my ears, how @btsport have not got rid of him yet I’ll never know!

  • jkisthe1
    Jonathan Kahn (@jkisthe1) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @btsport You are absolutely useless How does it take you a week to deal with an issue that's supposed to take 24 hours to resolve, with zero contact in that time

  • leehow2
    Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Bolton, England

    @bt_uk you are the worst company I've ever had the displeasure to deal with in my almost 45 years on planet earth. What a ****** awful company!

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

    My anxiety is being tested by @bt_uk. Engineer failed to show yesterday and so no broadband today. 3 phone calls on hold for half an hour before being cut off. My heating, cat flap and printers are all flashing and nobody wants to help.

  • ianrohdebell
    Ian Rohde-Bell (@ianrohdebell) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk Thank you. It's very frustrating that this wasn't provided at time of sale. It also doesn't seem right that there is now an additional expense required to guarantee basic service that we used to be able to rely on.

    Anthony Crook (@YawnoftheDad) reported from Urmston, England

    @btsport @btsportfootball are you ever going to fix your app on #PS5?

    @bt_uk my internet won't come on, its just staying orange and saying no service? No apparently problems in my area?

    @HillyTheFish @btsport Finished reading The Card for a second time a few weeks ago, even better than the first time. Is the Driver trawling around Ligue 2 now? What a life. Anyway, you've inspired me to complete my own card. The Papa Johns is ****, ta.

    @bt_uk Dreadful service since having fibre broadband fitted and even worse customer service 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

    @bt_uk Ok but as a customer that's been highly inconvenienced by @BT why dont you call me or send an email to me and we can discuss compensation? Why is it up to me to do the legwork?

  • euanwab
    Euan (@euanwab) reported

    @asha_shar Any way to have wi-fi 5ghz as default or option? Xbox is one of the only devices that defaults to 2.4ghz with no way to get 5ghz unless you disable 2.4ghz on the broadband entirely. Some providers like @bt_uk don’t allow for that or splitting the network on their routers. Help!

    @bt_uk Appalling service. You did not complete our installation on the 20th as promised, so we've been left with no phone, internet, and our security cameras and entry phone system are offline. Thanks

  • Red_Rescue
    Sebastian Colt (@Red_Rescue) reported

    @bt_uk I did some asking around for others I know on BT and one showed me their laptop was allowing them into their mail with no request for the SMS at all and their desktop was experiencing the same issue as I do - always wants calls that never arrive to mobile or landline in time.

  • Miss_Tasha_26
    natasha (@Miss_Tasha_26) reported

    @bt_uk I need help and you are telling me to use my app which the issue I’m having as the login isn’t working. I do not have time to call so unless I get help on here I will be cancelling my direct debit with you

    @btbusinesscare Not helpful really. Any business needing help has to wait for Tuesday. Absolutely useless service. Currently experiencing THIRD week this year of broken service. Bank holiday should be my busiest time, but I’ve had to close. 0/10.

    @bt_uk hi, an engineer was meant to visit today as my internet has barely been working since it was installed about a week ago and no one has turned up? i’m a new customer and beyond unimpressed, regretting switching to your broadband
