    @EE a few weeks back I could watch BTSport on my Xbox or Fire TV, now I can do neither without being told I need to upgrade my subscription. Can you help please?

  • TheExiledRobin The Exiled Robin (@TheExiledRobin) reported from Llantrisant, Wales

    If it wasn’t bad enough watching this it’s made so much worse with this TV coverage. Please never let BT Sport have cricket again 😩 @btsport #ashes @Channel7

  • desta_omar Desta Omar (@desta_omar) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    6 calls 3 live chats 2 texts 1 complaint cut off 3 times. Still no wifi and continual landline issues for an 82 year old lady who has been shielding for 22 weeks. Worst service in a pandemic from an essential service @bt_uk #btbad #cutoff #isolated direct reply plz

  • GhGriff27 Gavin (@GhGriff27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport I can't access my bt sport app. I pay for "Large Screen" on my phone to cast to my tv but have not been able to use it. Please help.

  • MHswans Mike Houghton (@MHswans) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hey @bt_uk I’ve just had a call from a lady claiming to be BT Open Reach & there is a problem with my internet connection, I need to access my computer whilst on the phone with me to show me and fix the problem. As I’m with @virginmedia I’m guessing this is a scam. Am I right?

  • cosmickx 🔮 ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄᴋ ᴍɪsᴀ || (@cosmickx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk We haven't had internet for the last 3 days, still don't and your customer service has been awful. We all need the internet in the house to work and fulfill tasks but your company just doesn't seem bothered at all.

  • jaisullivan Jai Sullivan (@jaisullivan) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MicrosoftHelps Hi, it was bought via @BTCare on 19/10/2020. The model is 1679 and it’s definitely not as a result of any settings issue. It’s a physical problem with the device.

  • speedupdating Nick Speed (@speedupdating) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @seimon76 @privilegecafe_ @DC_Wales Try the #DevicesDotNow campaign from @futuredotnowuk which we have been supporting at @bt_uk - with devices going to @Online_Centres - longer term, it may be worth considering joining the network - pob lwc. #digitalinclusion

  • ferch_Cenydd Hadley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺☠️🌈 (@ferch_Cenydd) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btbusinesscare Oh, you have no idea how much patience I’ve had to excercise with BT for a few years. Improvements seem to made though, sensible call staff recognising a problem straight off, competent engineer sent ASAP. Just need to sort out recurring problem with local telegraph pole!

  • MissESilcox MissESilcox (@MissESilcox) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The ref and VAR taking so long to come to a decision has broken @btsport #Victory #ALeague

  • Hanlccook Han🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Hanlccook) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hey there! No it’s still not working 🥺 however, I’m moving out of my house tomorrow and Into my new one. I’ve already spoke to an advisor about this a few weeks back but I’m not sure what to do? There’s no point ringing for an engineer when I’m moving. Shall we DM?

  • iainmspillane anfänglichinteressantesaberunterwältigendeslied (@iainmspillane) reported from Grangetown Community, Wales

    @btsport Having a few audio issues with the commentary here. A few words are getting garbled and I can’t understand most of what they’re saying. Can you ask Fletcher to take his tongue out of Messi’s arse and that should clear it all up?

  • martzreed1975 Martz (@martzreed1975) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @btsport @btsportfootball what I would change in football. Cancel injury time and adopt rugby rules. Clock stops at half time and fulltime and whistle blows when ball out of play.

  • johnsey80 Steve Johns (@johnsey80) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I'm not a @bt_uk customer but spoke to Payel via their chat service today to help my sister out. Above and beyond customer service, a credit to the company. Thank you Payel & BT

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • Natalieball1984 NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk absolutely appalling customer service to my mum who had shielded since March 2020! She can't use BT sports anymore and BT are saying £130+ to remove it!! She doesn't have any money! She is stressed, immune compromised and BT drop this on her! Shameful!

  • Statto1927 Simon Hiscocks (@Statto1927) reported from Barry, Wales

    Commentator on this match just apologised if any Portuguese speakers are hearing any “fruity” language as can hear players clearly. Going to be a nightmare for @SkySports @btsport commentators when UK football restarts. Will be continually apologising for bad language 🤬

  • murfilicious Chris Murphy (@murfilicious) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk I am still having issues yes, someone at EE is currently investigating whether or not I have the package on my contract (I do)

  • cosmickx 🔮 ᴄᴏꜱᴍɪᴄᴋ ᴍɪsᴀ || (@cosmickx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk is there an internet and landline outage in Cardiff, Wales? Our phone is dead and our internet keeps making a noise and switching itself off

  • Owsh94 Owen Howe (@Owsh94) reported from Coity, Wales

    6 phone calls this week to @bt_uk and still no resolution in sight! Dreadful customer service.

  • ShilpaPennieP shilpa pennie p (@ShilpaPennieP) reported

    @bt_uk just spent ages banging head against a brick wall with chat service . So frustrating dealing with BT. In Feb I lost the will to live trying to get a 2nd Line. And Gave up Now I’m dealing with appalling broadband speeds. Promised 20Mbps Upload but stuck on 0.71Mbps

  • JillCollier16 Jill Collier 🟥 (@JillCollier16) reported

    @btbusinesscare Our hi speed fibre optic business broadband went down this morning after an openreach engineer (who has now left) was seen in the underground box in the street. We are advised to be at the premises and available to fix it for 20 mins before ringing. We have a …

  • btbusinesscare BT Business Care (@btbusinesscare) reported

    @ionareads @bt_uk Hi, I apologise about this. One of our tech complaint team members in Dundee will be calling your family member about this. They have opened a complaint to see this through and get them sorted out, I apologise for all this.

  • alix_white_ Alix (@alix_white_) reported

    @bt_uk A form with 28 days response time isn’t good enough. A full cab is an infrastructure problem, not one that I should be penalised for. Is there an escalation contact at open reach who can solve this?

  • KevinLockyer3 Kevin Lockyer (@KevinLockyer3) reported

    Never fear, says @bt_uk, we will reschedule and send out a full team to do everything. So at 0830 today, a single engineer arrives, briefed to do a simple install from the nearest pole. He scratches his head, makes some calls and gives us the bad (but not unexpected) news...

  • jaisullivan Jai Sullivan (@jaisullivan) reported

    @bt_uk It’s still not activated. That means unable to work from home, unable to use TV, CCTV down— the list goes on & all on a Friday night. What are we waiting until midnight for exactly? Surely it’s something that can be manually activated? Really need to get better at this.

  • craiginscotland Craig Arthur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@craiginscotland) reported

    So @bt_uk have a link in my account to renew my contract, still 6 months left, but had a look. I can get 900mb as a new customer for £46 to upgrade through my account was £30 more. Every single package cost way, way more. Guess I’ll be leaving in February.

  • JoannaMG22 Joanna Goodman (@JoannaMG22) reported

    I have been on hold trying to arrange an appointment with @bt_uk - please, please, can you turn down the terrible music? I realise it's a massive divergence in musical taste, but now I'm writing up my incredibly negative experience with your company as a distraction ...

  • DaveKarikas Dave (@DaveKarikas) reported

    @bt_uk No worries. Just checking that all is OK on my Broadband service to allow for WiFi calling. Are you able to check my line is able to adequately host WiFi calling?

  • jaisullivan Jai Sullivan (@jaisullivan) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Alannah OK - thanks for the quick response. Why doesn't it say this in any of your email comms so that people can prepare? It just says 'there might be a short break in service'. My definition of short isn't hours or most of the day?
