  • 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. 🤣

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

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

  • 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 👀

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

    @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.

  • netbreed NB (@netbreed) reported

    @bt_uk internet goes down at least 5x a day. 1995 called me today to laugh at my speeds. What is going on with you lot?

  • dadofwar_ Steve 𐃈 (@dadofwar_) reported

    @bt_uk Evidently, the terms of service are not clear - as I’ve just got the above email.

  • youreaquim #Aberfan 🥺 (@youreaquim) reported

    @bt_uk Every single customer BT has needs BT to look into it further. FTTP shouldn't have deliberately neutered uploads, if they pay for 500mbps then that should be download and upload. Like companies in every other nation offer.

  • Impablomations Impablomations (@Impablomations) reported

    @bt_uk @MarcSDuffy I just spoke to your loyalty team and basically been told 'tough' (not in those words) because im in contract. Been a loyal customer for years and this is the thanks I get. When my contract is up, I'm gone.

  • kevin_busby Kevin Busby (@kevin_busby) reported

    @MarcSDuffy @bt_uk Can you not go back & say you can’t pay as it will cause inflation to rise & the priority is to get inflation down? Works for the government 👍

  • tina_rgb Tina (@tina_rgb) reported

    @bt_uk Thank you for the straightforward answers, though can you make sure that the support team on live chat are aware of this? They are giving conflicting and incorrect information despite me asking the very same questions.

  • tina_rgb Tina (@tina_rgb) reported

    @bt_uk Any reason your support is still assuring people that they can switch to digital voice and keep using third party routers? Support insists an adapter is provided however doesn't this only allow third party phones with a BT hub required?

  • tina_rgb Tina (@tina_rgb) reported

    @bt_uk That post proves my point. Digital Voice requires a BT hub. Nowhere in the community page does it mention an adapter that would replace this requirement? The Hub 2 for residential use offers no Bridge mode so can't be reliably used as a modem. Contradicting what support insists.

  • wesdavisfilms Wes Davis (@wesdavisfilms) reported

    @bt_uk not sure if this is the correct channel but my bt tv box has stopped working. It starts up, gets to the YouView loading screen, then switches itself off. Can you help?

  • vixielou1972 VixieP #nhsblueheart💙🇺🇦 (@vixielou1972) reported

    @KCOMcare are you having problems this evening? Internet been on and off since around 5pm 🙄 @bt_uk please come to Hull 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
