    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?

  • 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

    G kumar (@govinddhankhar) reported from Manchester, England

    @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 …..

  • 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.

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

    Wow. @bt_uk are ‘sorry I find my bill confusing’. It’s not confusing. I’ve never had a landline plugged in but being charged for random calls to the talking clock for two months. A burglar perhaps? 😡

  • AskTheShire
    The Shire (@AskTheShire) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk Ping goes does to 50k ms and then it drops off totally with no internet traffic as explained to your agent who told me it's WiFi. Its not I've got ping and traceroute data. There is an issue and to reiterate intermittently.

  • amandaleehull
    Dr Amanda Lee (@amandaleehull) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @bt_uk three different bills to get out the contract - lots of phone calls and your bills get higher every time… hope these calls are all recorded as thanks for opening the complaint - looking forwards to a formal response . #CustomerService #poorservice

    @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.

    Just an update for you @MarcAllera , I've had a phone call from the @bt_uk social media team because they thought I was talking about a BT mobile issue even though all my tweets show its an issue with @EE - come on team, this is simple stuff....

  • Lbartram
    Lee Bartram (@Lbartram) reported from Rochdale, England

    @davidakime @btsportmotogp @btsport Does that have all the sessions on Live and then on demand and is there a way to get it on your TV? Can you airplay it via an AppleTV for example and is it 4K or HD? Ha ha sorry for all the questions, genuinely interested as I have never had it 👍 #MotoGP

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

    @bt_uk Another month, another charge for a call that was never made. No phone plugged in but apparently I ring the talking clock at least once a month. I have sent a message with details 😡

  • 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

  • miguelinho2910
    Michael (@miguelinho2910) reported from Middleton, England

    @bt_uk Hi guys, have sent over a DM regarding this issue which still hasn't been resolved if you can look into it please! Thanks

    @bt_uk your app is telling me my last bill was not paid on time? But it’s paid by direct debit and went through no problem.

  • AskTheShire
    The Shire (@AskTheShire) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk eventually get through and you guys tell me I'm wrong about my Internet intermittent issues your agents are rude and then hung up on me. 50 mins on the phone to be hung up on.

    @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.

    @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!

    @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!

    Rob (@theRedun) reported

    @bt_uk @EE @BTBusiness currently on the #caravanclub site at Clumber Park, Notts, paying for “premium WiFi” and it’s painfully slow, no faster than the free version, caravan club staff say it’s nothing to do with them, report it to you! How do I report it to you?

  • blairjoyce3
    JoycieB (@blairjoyce3) reported

    @bt_uk 8 weeks ago you mis-sold my elderly parents a 900mb broadband package which we have been trying to cancel since, despite your "5 working days" claim. I won't go into additional details here, as it continues to get worse, but I am absolutely disgusted with your company

  • ralphaverbuch

    @bt_uk login to account but can't see any details on anything anymore? Something is broken. Who do we talk to to sort this?

  • RaeRubyRaeK
    RaeRubyRae (@RaeRubyRaeK) reported

    @bt_uk You do sell customer info and I can prove it! So I can’t use the app unless I give you my mobile number is that what you’re telling me? There’s no other option?

  • SeanLlangynidr
    SeanMynyddLlangynidr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 🇵🇸 (@SeanLlangynidr) reported

    @bt_uk I've called that number over 20 times, no chance I'm going to be put on hold listening to mindless muzak again. I need my service fixed so as I can move to another ISP. If it is not resolved within another 4 days, I will be going to a solicitor. I've had enough of your lies.

  • stockport871
    Stockport871 (@stockport871) reported

    @bt_uk It’s linked to a vulnerability issue, reel feee to direct message me, the reason I can’t call is on the account.

    @hippyjan1 @bt_uk Seems to be affecting so many people 😡😡 cant log in my account AT ALL. How useless is this?? I used different provider for last 10 years and I never had this hell!

    Simboman 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@simboman) reported

    @brian_mcbride1 @bt_uk That's similar experience to my 90 year old mother's complaint about digital switchover and contract renewal. Sent a complaint letter to BT plc, PO Box 334, Sheffield, S98 1BT and received a text a couple of weeks later saying the complaint had been closed but with no resolution.
