    Called @SkyUK today to make an adjustment to my package, ended up on the phone for 20mins reviewing my usage and came off with a better deal saving me almost £40 per month and an improved broadband boost. That’s some gesture and great customer service. Well done Sky 👏👏

    @SkyHelpTeam It hasn't even started and it is DREADFUL. I'm just trying to speak to someone and this has proved impossible. You ignored a DM, the contact no gives options I don't want then cuts me off and the virtual assistant has no brain behind it. Why is your service without people

  • lucy_bartram Lucy Bartram (@lucy_bartram) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’ve checked and it’s saying no problems which I struggle to believe as I can’t use my mini Q box - I will need another booster I think

  • Footie888 sj (@Footie888) reported

    @PeterGr13425780 @SkySports twisting words, he said support your community, he was speaking to a black community he wasn’t speaking at a press conference or addressing the world he was speaking to his friends, so if your in a black community then majority the local shops are black owned businesses
