  • hufc_paul Paul (@hufc_paul) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam internet been down for a few hours now and I need it tomorrow to work

  • samabdool Sam (@samabdool) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam my broadband keeps dropping out and quality is very poor. This has been ongoing for months. I have just carried out all the check suggested on your website and it says there are no issues yet a few minutes later it has cut out again.

  • helenhatespeas Helen Hates Peas (@helenhatespeas) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @KramG4 Absolutely the same problem just happened to us. Weather gave us the blue screen of death and an hour later it was back on but the HD channels are now in the 800s? Xx

  • tom__watson Tom Watson (@tom__watson) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Ive checked my bill, the fact is i havent been informed. Again ive found the contact detals but nobody wants to answer the phone and sort the issue out

  • eastyliss Stephen Eastwood (@eastyliss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Totally separate no link. I need to be able to use my data and household sky package for free as billed. And be recognised as an actual customer. My parents need to be able to link there new sky ID created today by me to Sky Mobile so they can sign their agreement

  • timothybwood Tim Wood (@timothybwood) reported

    The Salford v Castleford match kicks off and yet again, sadly, the Super League club owners let down their fantastic players; 1) a pathetic half-hearted attempt at marking out the pitch properly & 2) allowing @SkySports to employ an in-game summariser that detracts from the game

  • ohhithereitsben OHTIB (@ohhithereitsben) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam My mum now has no tv, and you can’t send an engineer until a week Monday, will she get compensation for this? It’s all she has and now won’t have it for a long time. Please help guys.

  • Cory_matthewman Cory.m_ (@Cory_matthewman) reported

    @SkyUK by far the worst broadband nothing but issues all week even though they promise fast speeds

  • ohhithereitsben OHTIB (@ohhithereitsben) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks for understanding.. Literally only 1 day earlier. Surely a complete outage of the service should get her bumped up the list?

  • Ravzz_G Ravi Gandhi (@Ravzz_G) reported

    @rachaelgibbonss @SkyHelpTeam @MarkMounfield I just took a look at my Now Broadband account and it says the replacement part that took 24 hours to get delivered did not solve the issue. So the engineers are at square one with no clue. Just ridiculous! For a whole town to be out of service this long is terrible

  • tom__watson Tom Watson (@tom__watson) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam could you get someone to contact me please i have been said in the phone line for over an hour tonight with no answer. In the past 2 months you have upped my bill by over £60 with no warning, shocking service!!!

  • eastyliss Stephen Eastwood (@eastyliss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Can someone just actually take ownership and sort this out for me! Spent hours today messing around with help pages and conversations that go nowhere! I was missing 5G benefits for 6 months, not sure if I can use my sky package for free and can’t use my data

  • cake_for Lyndsay Softley (@cake_for) reported

    @Neal1971 @SkyHelpTeam Weve had no service for over 2 days in Blackpool now.

  • eastyliss Stephen Eastwood (@eastyliss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Right. My own issue, no free 5g that got sorted earlier, however I can’t use my unused data, it’s not recognising me as a sky customer. Issue 2 totally separate my mum and dad have bought phones I set up a sky Id for them today it won’t link to sky mobile

  • Bisto101 Paul Bristow (@Bisto101) reported

    @SkySports if your pundits dont vehemently condemn that ridiculous red card then you are as bad as this awful referee!! As for VAR its a bloody joke! He played the ball first what is he supposed to do not go for the ball in case he contacts the player after he plays the ball! 😡

  • robbosreds Jeff Robinson (@robbosreds) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    Why is Martin Tyler referring to the 9-0 all the time? Poor commentator, poor commentary @SkySports #SOULEI

  • AshleyBard Ashley Bard (@AshleyBard) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hello, are there known Internet issues in the Dartford/Ebsfleet area of Kent right now?

  • littleduckquack Siobhan Michaels (@littleduckquack) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I was transferred from a customer service rep to cancellations earlier, I’ve held for about 45 mins only to now been greeted with the message that the department is closed! Almost like you are deterring people cancelling 🤬

  • robbosreds Jeff Robinson (@robbosreds) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @MattLeRoss @SkySports I know absolutely crap commentator , his commentary is crap all the time. He thinks he’s clever just spewing facts which nobody is interested in.

  • eastyliss Stephen Eastwood (@eastyliss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The bill is in my wife’s name, I bought the phone through the app we use as a household, my email allows me access I can see everything but when I try to use my data for accessories it takes me out of the app asks me to sign in then says I’m not a customer

  • andy_horner Ash 1974 (@andy_horner) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have and am in the middle of this 😳😳 You lot love to take the money but really don’t care about end user experience. We will keep complaining until one of your useless lazy managers calls. We will cancel as you are in breach via our solicitors.

  • FarnsworthHelen Hels83 (@FarnsworthHelen) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam (You experience a Total Loss of Service - Your service stops working completely and isn’t fixed after two full working days from when you first tell us of the fault.) As you already know about the fault in Blackpool will I be automatically refunded?

  • MJFenners MJFenners (@MJFenners) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam do ANY of your reps get any sort of customer service training? Do your managers not feel like complaints should be dealt with? Genuine question because your service is abysmal.

  • wt2244 bow (@wt2244) reported

    @SkySports Its not his race I have problem with I don't care what he is its just he is a nasty little creep and a cheat

  • cake_for Lyndsay Softley (@cake_for) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam We lost out broadband at 12.30am on 28th....the outage was 8.30am..so what is going on!

  • Steve16100275 Steve (@Steve16100275) reported

    This ref and var terrible, have another look he got the ball first, and why was vardey allowed to stay on after having treatment @FA @premierleague @SkySports

  • MJFenners MJFenners (@MJFenners) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Then why wasn't I asked to wait? I have been repeatedly lied to and been treated awfully by your support. I will happily wait on the line for a manager to finish what they're doing and take my call. Promising 24 hours turnaround and then sneakily booking it for May 3 is appalling

  • only1chopper alexander pitter (@only1chopper) reported

    @SkySports can someone tell me what vesterguaad is supposed to do with his foot after touching the ball first? Never a red card. Appaling decision.

  • MJFenners MJFenners (@MJFenners) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Are you serious!? I didn't know the calendar went April 29 then May 3. I find it impossible to believe that there are no managers currently working for Customer Support.

  • eastyliss Stephen Eastwood (@eastyliss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The above is separate issue I’m trying to sort for my dad. This is my issue
