  • JoshBancroftUK Josh Bancroft 🎙📻 (@JoshBancroftUK) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    I've asked both @bt_uk and @EE to solve some problems over the last couple of weeks. Both have failed, both seem to have forgotten after promising to get back to me. With so much competition this really shouldn't happen anymore.

  • LiamMelvin92 Liam Melvin (@LiamMelvin92) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • RunningMissM11 💖M💖 (@RunningMissM11) reported from Urmston, England

    @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.

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    @Darth_Vivid @virginmedia @bt_uk @TalkTalk @SkyUK It would be nice to get 100mb once. Never even had half of what we pay for. Wonder what @Offcom make of that...

    If I hear the commentators say Atlanta for ATALANTA one more time I'm going to lose my ****!!!! @btsport #AtalantaPSG #Atalanta #PSG

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    @Darth_Vivid @virginmedia @bt_uk @TalkTalk @SkyUK It still doesn't excuse the slowness, the constant drop outs, and the near impossible chance of getting through to customer service.

  • PravPatel_ Prav Patel (@PravPatel_) reported from Manchester, England

    @bt_uk are your internet services down in Manchester?

  • drbexl Dr Bex Lewis #KeepYourDistance (@drbexl) reported from Stockport, England

    @bt_uk Aside from the dropouts earlier this week (which am putting down to weather) has behaved itself since Thursday - much smoother than old router, thank you.

  • Nw38Wilson nick Wilson (@Nw38Wilson) reported from Rochdale, England

    @btsport hi your live chat the other day changed payment date for my bill till September 8th to give me more time to pay it an she said my channels would come back on within 24 to 48 hours but they not back on yet can you help me?

  • Ric_Bond Richard Bond (@Ric_Bond) reported from Manchester, England

    Clearly the continuing high winds up here is adding to the risk, and if the cable snaps I imagine it creates a very real safety issue for pedestrians - plus of course my service is being disrupted all the while @bt_uk

  • drbexl Dr Bex Lewis #StayHomeSaveLives (@drbexl) reported from Stockport, England

    Thankful that @bt_uk have contacted me, know there’s a problem with my internet - and someone’s coming Weds afternoon to sort it (dropping out/slow) - I hope! Engineer may be able to fix outside, but may have to come in - in PPE. V friendly Olga organising on the phone.

  • buxton081 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 james buxton🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@buxton081) reported from Burnley, England

  • MichelleBoudin_ Michelle Boudin (@MichelleBoudin_) reported from Bury, England

  • iam_willyoung Will Young 👑 (@iam_willyoung) reported

    @btsport Poor you are trying to move the same thing that has been part of the subscription for years behind an extra paywall. Hope no one buys it and you realise how stupid it was

  • Treakz Richard Beaumont (@Treakz) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks Catherine. Doesn’t really help me know how I’m going to work for the immediate future. Man on a digger tells me he’s cut through the streets broadband cable yet you can’t confirm the status? No point in me doing a status check, I know the status already …….

  • martinbamford Martin Bamford (@martinbamford) reported from Cranleigh, England

    @LAMTownsend @bt_uk I think the problem is with @OpenreachHelp rather than BT? I’m hearing that BT are sending out engineers to households but unable to do anything to restore the Internet when they arrive because there is a wider network issue. Strange that they’re unaware though.

  • WakemanKathryn Kathryn Ayton (@WakemanKathryn) reported

    @bt_uk appalling service. Over 8 weeks wait so far for broadband installation. 4 engineers have turned up unannounced to take the same pictures for a new telegraph pole. Useless mini hub with zero range. Numerous complaints no call back VOL013-706759004707

  • jamiegreenley Jamie Greenley (@jamiegreenley) reported

    @bt_uk your internet has gone to garbage what the hell is going on

  • elliedavies19_ eli (@elliedavies19_) reported

    @bt_uk sat on the phone for 25 minutes in a queue for your advisor to hang up on me as soon as he answered and asked me my name 🤔🙄😡

  • ams_leighfield Ams (@ams_leighfield) reported

    @bt_uk (cont) I have requested to speak to a senior manager 6 times and have been promised a call back but to no avail. This is the worst customer service I have received - even the customer service team have admitted it is inadequate. 4 weeks without wifi. Sort it out!!!

  • fryertucks123 clive French (@fryertucks123) reported

    @bt_uk your internet was fantastic for the first month but now we have not paid the extra to get the fastest one you do. It’s now a disgrace can’t even watch Amazon without it buffering constantly. One unhappy customer

  • DmitriusOld Dmitri Old (@DmitriusOld) reported

    @oncebenny @BTCare @EE Mate, I thought they handled my leaving well a few years ago, if I recall. But I have to give up my current provider on a house move, and gave them first crack. It was beyond horrible.

  • Marklamar20 Mark lamar🟨🟥 (@Marklamar20) reported

    @bt_uk @Richard66629722 When I looked at upgrading my bt broadband package I was offered the same package but £10 more a month with a no cut in service guarantee.That should be standard anyway.
