  • FatSkintSweary Fat, Skint & Sweary! (@FatSkintSweary) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have tried over and over to get through to a person and all I get is the stupid robot woman offering me things I do not want

  • LindseyDigs Lindsey Diggins (@LindseyDigs) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’ve rang 3 times. They keep messing me around with the appt then threatening no show charges. Ultimately the comms between sky and open reach is poor and impacts the customer.

  • rbaaa0 RB (@rbaaa0) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam today I cried because your wifi is so ******* ****

  • janetcourt28 janet court (@janetcourt28) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Please can I have the phone number to enable me to cancel my TV subscription. Many thanks

  • FatSkintSweary Fat, Skint & Sweary! (@FatSkintSweary) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I guess you did not read my tweets? I HAVE BEEN CALLING OVER AND OVER and just get the stupid robot lady - I never get through to a person

  • rrggoox rebecca (@rrggoox) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hello. I have a damaged wire to my TV and now have no signal. Is there a number to call for help with this getting it fixed? Thank you.

  • LindseyDigs Lindsey Diggins (@LindseyDigs) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam It has been me telling Sky it is an internal issue. My dog has chewed the phone line inside. Open reach keep pushing back doing something outside. I don’t know how many times to say it. Anyway, ideally I need the appt today as i was told but now have to wait til tomorrow.

  • rrggoox rebecca (@rrggoox) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hello. I have a damaged wire to my TV and now have no signal. Is there a normal to call for help with this getting it fixed? Thank you.

  • ShedTfc The Shed End (@ShedTfc) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam TS17 is there a Sky Broadband Outage? Self diagnostic suggest so but website says no

  • EdgettBen Ben Edgett (@EdgettBen) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam are you having maintenance on your sky Q boxes today. I have got limited service coming up on my sky q box.

  • TemporaryCarpet Jason the Rude Turtle. (@TemporaryCarpet) reported

    @virginmedia Your entire service is a frustrating and inconvenient rip off. I cannot wait to be out of contract. I'd rather go back to @SkyHelpTeam for 1meg broadband on copper openreach cables than have another contract with Virgin.

  • GavinStuart15 Gavin Stuart (@GavinStuart15) reported

    @Courtenay_c_ @SkyUK Same hear. Why is it so bad, paying a lot of money for rubbish service.

  • Wookey1983 Wooks (@Wookey1983) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Already spoken to them. Was promised a callback "within an hour"........at 12.30pm. Fed up.of running round - I'm the customer!

  • LindseyDigs Lindsey Diggins (@LindseyDigs) reported

    When @WeAreOpenreach take it upon themselves to diagnose an internal fault as outside & try to cancel your appt. Then @SkyUK book you another for 2day. Take a day AL to be told the appt is tomorrow and if I'm not in I'll receive a £65 fine. Fantastic.

  • craigreddy craig reddy (@craigreddy) reported

    @SkyUK I’m still waiting for a call back that was supposed to have happened 7.30 last night? Already wasted enough time trying to get an issue sorted, I’m currently paying you for nothing

  • Nick77615513 Nick (@Nick77615513) reported

    @SkySports he's garbage. Hopefully out of the team now

  • taxilez taxilez (@taxilez) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam are your phones locked??yo your network

  • molwright16 Mols (@molwright16) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam launching an investigation as we’d been misinformed of the costs for cancellation.. but even if they do find that to be correct they won’t honour it or provide compensation. Brilliant customer service as always. At least we have wifi in a derelict house though! 👏🏼🥴

  • John71381259 John (@John71381259) reported

    @SkyUK Never heard of it was probably too busy watching babestation

  • DavidColeman33 David Coleman (@DavidColeman33) reported

    Who's best for business broadband? @vmbusiness, @BTBusiness or @SkyUK? We're a Virgin Business customer and I must say that I'm not impressed. We'll cancel as soon as we can. We're also a customer of BT Business which we find a good service. Anyone have experience of Sky Connect?

  • Sean_kelly17 Sean Kelly (@Sean_kelly17) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam my internet is down, can you help.

  • Spence0373 Spence (@Spence0373) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I didn't need support from a bot cause it doesn't give answers like a human !!! I have used PM and u have disappeared , perhaps bot has run out of charge ?

  • TahaKhan2611 taha (@TahaKhan2611) reported

    @SkySports Get this guy dropped idk how he’s still in this England team opening every game. Haseeb Hameed had a couple bad games and he was gone. Do the same for Crawley who hasn’t scored one half century in yonks. Average player 🥴

  • FatSkintSweary Fat, Skint & Sweary! (@FatSkintSweary) reported

    I loathe the robot lady when I try to ring @SkyUK - I want to speak to a person to discuss changing my package with you - if I can't get through to speak to someone today I will give up, cancel and go to BT

  • FatSkintSweary Fat, Skint & Sweary! (@FatSkintSweary) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam And that link does NOT help me to do what I want

  • EdgettBen Ben Edgett (@EdgettBen) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Sorry because of a technical issue you’re currently expecting a limited service. Please be assured that we’ve working hard to fix the problem. That’s what it is saying on my sky Q box.

  • janetcourt28 janet court (@janetcourt28) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I've already seen that it was of little help. All I want is the phone number, it can't be that difficult can it?

  • Spence0373 Spence (@Spence0373) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Your robot asked me a few questions and it didn't solve my problem , and u still haven't , and I never expected it to be an instant messaging service ,just expect a human to answer

  • jo_drix Jo Kempster (@jo_drix) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Mmm paying all this money for Broadband & TV. Neither work properly, broadband is now dropping out every 10 minutes! How do I get out of a contract if the service is not fit for purpose!? #Useless

  • plinkyploddums katy (@plinkyploddums) reported

    @SkyUK So so many! As much as I begged for the games controller I never got one as a kid!
