    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I recently switched to Sky from NOW (owned by Sky) who had offered me a similar choice for their "Powered by Sky" service. Not only did I get it direct from Sky for £27, I also picked up a £105 new customer gift card.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I’ve recently left for similar reason, my package going up £3.00 to £23 after I left had a letter saying I could go back & the same package would be £28 & I’d been a customer for 25+ years

    @boothy91 @SkyUK @AmazonUK Here in lies the issue from progressive governments who’ve made it impossible to employ staff, so companies outsource to countries for a fraction of the costs in the uk & none of the hassle, it’s absurd we find ourselves in this situation and it costs us so more than raised

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam 💯 I left Sky last month after being a customer for over 30 years. Feel like we are being forced to pay massive rises in prices because they are so desperate to keep the football and have to pay through the nose for it. I’m £130 better off.

    @KevvyJ63 @SkySports @virginmedia We were sent an engineer on Wednesday by error but it’s a known outage on skys end and he reckons sky won’t be quick to fix! You can log in online and watch all the games.

    @IamUtdballz @TouchlineX @SkySports "AC Milan is a small club"?!?! They've won the Champions League 6 times, hardly a small club? Man Yoo are only what they are because of Busby/Ferguson. You'd be nothing without them. Never read so much dross. You're well named Mr Ballz, cause that's what you talk.

    @SkyUK 2nd time tonight the broadband has gone down. What is this? And youre saying “no issues” I think that’s a bit of a lie

  • pwl1279
    Peter William (@pwl1279) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Leave. I’ve never stayed with the same provider for more than 3 years. Yes it’s a faff moving, but saves a lot of money by doing so.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam They are a joke. I was also a platinum customer, but cancelled this week and told them to stick it. Funny how they came up with better deals as soon as I asked to cancel! Too late, I’m done being robbed.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Sky service is costly and slow. Never used to be like that. Customer service are now also awful, because a lack of understanding about consumer protection.

    @BarcaUniversal @SkySports That’s the most professional transfer request you’ll ever see. City still get peak Rodri for 12 months, which is hardly a bad consolation.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam As if people have not realised yet New customer = discount price to gain the business. Renewal = ACTUAL price as you've given them the business. If you cancel, you pay a cancellation fee. Moral of the story: NEVER EVER RENEW! Allow your contract to expire, then move elsewhere.

  • Raaahaha
    Raz (@Raaahaha) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I know it's obviously not great but at one point you were a new customer and you probably got a similar new customer offer for 12 months?
