    @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.

  • 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 👀

  • KurtMCR Kurt (@KurtMCR) reported from Salford, England

    @fowl_original @btsport @Omega_Luke @alpha_reel @hairywrestling @TEGamerUK @smacktalk_uk @WatchesJess @TheMattAttackUK @knankles I think Sky were still smarting from the loss of PPV sales when the Network was released in the UK just weeks into a 5 year deal.

  • franco_blanco1 Francis Idehen (@franco_blanco1) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk Is there a problem with your Internet network in the central Manchester area tonight. Lots of buffering and cutting out/having to reset the router. Not impressed

  • 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

  • dejkirkby 'Motivated And Confident' Mags (@dejkirkby) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @btsport as a VM customer with the BT Sport add-on, can you explain to me the idea behind having the only reason I have the BT Sport add-on, UFC, having major events locked behind a secondary paywall and then still increasing the package cost. Not only double

  • daveelliott83 dudds (@daveelliott83) reported from Leyland, England

    Never thought I'd say it but I'd prefer listening to Robbie Savage than Steve mcmanaman! Absolutely awful commentator! @btsportfootball @btsport

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

    @jackrimmi @SkySports @btsport Still shit should be on television. Better than Leeds and hull

  • hart90 Jonathan Hart (@hart90) reported from Manchester, England

    @jonsmile @bt_uk I also fly through here every other week. It works fine outside but the building acts like a kind of huge faraday cafe and really hinders the connection inside. The WiFi is bad too

  • JG_JessGreen Jess Green (@JG_JessGreen) reported from Bury, England

    @btsportmotogp @btsport Racing incident but ended the race for these riders and ruined it for the fans.

  • KurtMCR Kurt (@KurtMCR) reported from Salford, England

    @btsport @WWEUK Woah! This is huge. Hopefully not in a bad way

  • kevb9495 Kevin Blackburn (@kevb9495) reported from Tyldesley, England

    "The 5 goals came from 5 shots on target." No shit Sherlock! 😂😂 #ChampionLeague #ManCityTottenham #BTsport

  • daveelliott83 dudds (@daveelliott83) reported from Leyland, England

    Never thought I'd say it but I'd prefer listening to Robbie Savage than Steve mcmanaman! Absolutely awful commentator! #btsport #btfootba

  • dejkirkby 'Motivated And Confident' Mags (@dejkirkby) reported from Burnley, England

    @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.

  • LongsightBlue 🦈 (@LongsightBlue) reported from Manchester, England

    @btsportscore @btsportfootball @btsport @themichaelowen @PaulInce @chris_sutton73 @jjenas8 @RobbieSavage8 @julesbreach @markpougatch The worst lineup I have ever seen

  • 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. 🤣

  • D1splayed Liam is (@D1splayed) reported

    @bt_uk So my actual incoming Internet, is limited due to Facebook etc being down? Is that what you are saying? The fact that all devices in my house are seeing my Internet connection as not working is linked to that?

  • pickles61068 pickles (@pickles61068) reported

    @GawpStaffs @bt_uk They need to let us know what they are doing to fix it

  • Dizzwell Adam Hebden (@Dizzwell) reported

    @virginmedia @tweedledee23 Sorry that's my fault, I was asking you if you're services were working. We all having problems with @bt_uk WiFi and mobile phones.

  • SpanWard Han Ward (@SpanWard) reported

    @bt_uk @jillcruik68 @bt_uk why aren't you listening to your customers? This is NOT to do with the Facebook outage. We cannot connect our mobile devices to broadband as it says no Internet access, however TV's are working fine. Also affecting networks that use your lines such as Vodafone. Listen!!

  • Andrewbates1963 Andrew Bates (@Andrewbates1963) reported

    @bt_uk @jenjen235 Stop using the same reply, it cannot all be about social media when multiple sites are offline across the country. Ours is up and down like a yo yo!

  • pickles61068 pickles (@pickles61068) reported

    @bt_uk I'm going round in circles here. You keep telling me text FIX. I've done that & SUPPORT & ADVISOR. Then I get told to text FIX again. I still have no access despite hub working. What is happening??

  • AbbieLeanne_G Abb🌻 (@AbbieLeanne_G) reported

  • LoubieBoo80 Louise (@LoubieBoo80) reported

    @PeteHarrison90 @bt_uk Same issue here! Got to be something to do with everything being down at the moment...??

  • FaZed99 Steph (@FaZed99) reported

    @D1splayed @bt_uk Hey Liam. I'm with bt and had same issue up until 2min ago. The exclamation mark next to. WiFi with limited, super slow access. It seems be working now

  • Andrewbates1963 Andrew Bates (@Andrewbates1963) reported

    @bt_uk @SteveHill11 Does that include laptops, as mine will not connect to the Internet either. Be honest, your network is down and you are too scared to say as you know where that will lead! Engineers will be all over serves like a rash now, trying to do damage control.
