    @bt_uk Dear BT , it’s been 7 days … no response of your request to call me ASAP …???? Can you listen the call as one of your advisor first refused me to open complaint and tried to misguide me and another advisor open the complaint and closed without my consent …..

  • 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

  • StephenConlon7 Manc United (@StephenConlon7) reported from Manchester, England

    @MadRedNeil @Akabash01 @btsport Neil. WTF is he missing. They have constantly abuse FIFA fair play but as you can see he’s not arsed as his fight is against United. No matter what.

  • YawnoftheDad Anthony Crook (@YawnoftheDad) reported from Urmston, England

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

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

    @bt_uk hi. I moved home and had my services transferred. No problem. Today I have received an email saying I will be charged for ending the contract early and received another email about returning kit?

  • tonyknowles36 Tony Knowles (@tonyknowles36) reported from Blackburn, England

    @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!

  • adamrcarney Adam Carney (@adamrcarney) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk How is that going to help me right now?

  • dohpods DAYS OF HORROR PODCAST ⸸ (@dohpods) reported from Haslingden, England

    Anyone else having issues with #btsport tonight? Watching the United game and it keeps crashing with error code vc011 😡 My internet connection is not the issue here!!

  • 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

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

    Random question but do any of my followers have an android TV, with the @btsport app installed? If so have you had any problems opening it?

  • KerryM811 K e r r i (@KerryM811) reported from Horwich, England

    @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?

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

    Can anyone not open @btsport on an android TV or is it just me? It tells me that my Internet is the problem, yet everything else works perfectly, suggesting that, actually it isn't

  • govinddhankhar G kumar (@govinddhankhar) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk my complaint VOL013-623045051740 closed without any resolution and without my consent by your worst customer service . You are violating Omdurman

  • no1AlFielding AlFi (@no1AlFielding) reported from Haslingden, England

    I’ve been growing into @btsport #ashes coverage thus far. Just improved ten fold now the satellite has gone down 👊

  • WannabePaul Paul Hill (@WannabePaul) reported from Rochdale, England

    @btsport absolute ******* **** show!!! I want the fight, can’t press a button to get the fight, have to go through a process I don’t want to go through! Money grabbing bastards!

  • 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.

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

    @bt_uk Well, it looks like I’m getting a new account set up. No idea why as I have correspondence to the new address about my move. As long as I don’t lose service.

  • AndyWhittle2 Andy W (@AndyWhittle2) reported from Aspull, England

    @btsport your commentators on the Arsenal v City game today are an absolute disgrace. Never heard as much bias against City in my life and they also have **** accents so please get rid.

  • 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.

  • willisclarkie Will (@willisclarkie) reported from Manchester, England

    pretty good of Root, Malan and Pope to spare @btsport’s blushes by making 90% of the audience turn off the telly, leaving the technical issues to go unnoticed

  • Grompar_ 🎮Grompar🎮 (@Grompar_) reported

    After hearing about how @bt_uk treat their staff, as soon as I'm out of contract I'm signing up with someone else

  • Bill_Ross_1966 Bill Ross (@Bill_Ross_1966) reported

    @bt_uk Have you got a problem with your email server? I've not been able to send or receive anything since about 7.30 this morning. I keep getting asked to sign in with my password and then it fails. I've not changed my password on the client I use and my Gmail works fine on it.

  • EAHNS EAHNS (@EAHNS) reported

    @BTCare shambolic customer service from BT and open reach strikes again. Not only have I been without broadband since Saturday but open reach have just decided not to turn up today for a prebooked appointment. Had I not called the customer services I would have sat here all day!

  • ratporchrico ratporchrico (@ratporchrico) reported

    @CockertonMark @JRainbowWarrior @bt_uk Pretty dire and expensive. Plusnet were great and the one time I needed customer service they were great too.

  • micksands_chef Mick Sands (@micksands_chef) reported

    I've got to say @bt_uk are probably one of the worst company's I have dealt with up to now. How are you meant to support new businesses when you can't even connect them to a phone line?

  • Greaves_D David Greaves (@Greaves_D) reported

    Had engineers round five times to sort our unreliable broadband with massive speed fluctuations, all while being told everything is fine. I have now been told to deal with it or cancel the contract. Disappointed is an understatement @bt_uk

  • tristanpw1 Dr Tris Price-Williams (@tristanpw1) reported

    @AliceMerray @CockertonMark @bt_uk I was withy them for a while. Awful. The only worse ones were Virgin.

  • neilabrad Neil Bradford (@neilabrad) reported

    @bt_uk is there an issue with email services this morning? Getting an authentication error and cannot receive email on any device.

  • CJXXXXW Chris (@CJXXXXW) reported from Darlington, England

    @bt_uk Hi saying no known issues but for the last hour it’s been offline and back online must be 10/15 times at least

  • Kusho29 Eternal_Student (@Kusho29) reported

    I have moved to @bt_uk and hopefully i will get a better service there. As for @TalkTalk, i hope you will do the right thing and cancel my contract without a charge at the end of the month and we both go our seperate ways. It has been hugely frustrating and impacted on my job!
