    @SkyHelpTeam Today. The complaint was closed, so I had to get it reopened. You need to fix the app and text ALL customers to get them to check that their spend caps are enabled!

  • IanGSimon54 Ian Simon (@IanGSimon54) reported

  • JessAlderwick Jess Alderwick (@JessAlderwick) reported

    @virginmedia I am regretting switching from @SkyUK to virgin already! Can’t even watch a movie on Disney + without the internet dropping out three or four times. Sky may have been slower but it NEVER did this?! Been less than 2 weeks since install 😓

  • macreiss Ori Reiss (@macreiss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have. Engineer has still not bothered calling, but has confirmed that the appointment won’t be met. I have given my 31 days notice to cancel sky tv and broadband and am ordering virgin. 20 years with sky down the drain.

  • Imperial__Press Imperial Press (@Imperial__Press) reported

    @BBCSport @SkySports You are simply the worst broadcaster for making basic mistakes, and you are surprised by abuse?? Sky laugh at you. In terms of errors you are in a league of your own paid for by people who despise you..Sky are funded by customers.

  • AshRaskov Ash Raskov (@AshRaskov) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Not helpful, sometimes connects with slow speeds then drops again

  • 100707 bettyknowsnothing (@100707) reported

    .@SkyUK why is the SkyGo app so useless? It asks me to sign in every fifteen minutes and then crashes in between. Absolutely hopeless

  • fire_Mel Mel Smith (@fire_Mel) reported

    @SkyUK quoted £10/month on a 18 month contract by Sky engineer for Sky Q Multiroom. Once fitted Sky are going to charge me £14/month and refuse to talk to me. Customer for 30 years and this is how they treat you! Disgusting!🤬

  • IanGSimon54 Ian Simon (@IanGSimon54) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Thank you. Done that Service Status says "there's an outtage in your area" !

  • David_Moose It's a Moose on a bike ! 🚲 🚴🍷🍺🏉 🎸🎶🌈🎻 (@David_Moose) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam My point is I can't contact an agent cos it keeps cutting me off! *** can I give 30 days notice when I can't get thru? And if I can sign up with a click I should be able to cancel with a click ....

  • donna_rotchford Donna Marie (@donna_rotchford) reported

    @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam is your sky internet down? Mine has been down since last night

  • JoelCheeves Joel Cheeves (@JoelCheeves) reported

    @SkyUK so you think it's OK to raise your prices from £22 to £25 in March and then £30 in April and just help yourself to people's bank accounts knowing full well they neither received or read any emails from you. Unless you have a signature it's basically theft! #Skyiscancelled

  • hendoracing Andy (@hendoracing) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam does your broadband ever work, absolutely awful!!!! Terrible service,

  • PaulONe54749562 Paul O’Neill (@PaulONe54749562) reported

    @VirginMediaIE I have no access to the @SkySports package that I recently payed for & was promised would be available today . No answer from your technical support or sales on 1908 number. Can someone please help? Thanks.

  • NeilTostevin Neil Tostevin (@NeilTostevin) reported

    @SkySports Joshua puts him away. Wilder puts him away. Whyte puts him away. Fury puts him away. Parker puts him away. Usyk puts him away. Joyce is a decent pro, but is not anywhere near the level of the guys at the top. Too slow and too easy to hit.

  • Andy_N3wland Andy Newland (@Andy_N3wland) reported

    @NOW @SkySports is it just me that has picture v sound sync issues for the Rugby Test Match?

  • Trip_SwitchUK Craig Worthington (@Trip_SwitchUK) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Is the Internet/DSL down or something? Currently can't access Internet in the WS10 Area.

  • AyeThatllbRight Ayethatllbright (@AyeThatllbRight) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I don’t see it as my role to do all the running around to get a reply to a complaint about how poor Sky are. I’ll let it go for another couple of weeks and maybe they’ll be embarrassed about the long delay when they do get round to replying. 2/2

  • Chrismiles2301 Christopher.miles (@Chrismiles2301) reported

    @SkySports Why write this crap aj got a fight and if chicken fury gets through his fight maybe he will fight aj

  • AyeThatllbRight Ayethatllbright (@AyeThatllbRight) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I raised a complaint before, they’re the folks who haven’t replied in the 48 hrs they said, nor the two weeks since. The complaints team doesn’t seem to be working properly. The help team don’t seem able to help. I bet the direct debit folks are all on track! 1/2

  • melissa_balmer melissa balmer (@melissa_balmer) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had this pop up every time I try and download something on my sky q box stating I need to upgrade to use this service, but all my planned recordings are recording perfectly fine it's not worked for over a month and I've done all the little things the last agent advised

  • melissa_balmer melissa balmer (@melissa_balmer) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hello am trying to get through to someone, have had a problem with my account for a month and I'm finding it impossible?

  • David_Moose It's a Moose on a bike ! 🚲 🚴🍷🍺🏉 🎸🎶🌈🎻 (@David_Moose) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I did and after 4 minutes on your menu system got cut off - twice. Why can't I cancel online?

  • macreiss Ori Reiss (@macreiss) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Guess what? Sky engineer didn’t show up today! Wasted all day at home waiting for him. Was supposed to call in morning to let me when to expect him. Nothing. All day at home wasted. For a box change! Shocking service. Very much fed up.

  • Thommohawk67 Stefano Thommioni ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@Thommohawk67) reported

    @PrinceOfLurg @ScotlandSky I have to agree! The coverage is to a high level of crap. I cancelled my #Skysports due to the commentary and lack of decent coverage, when comparing to the English games. Alternative viewing is highly recommended

  • AmendMe Me (@AmendMe) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam trying to sign up as a new mobile customer yet keeping getting a technical error each time I click agree for the credit checks etc. Any ideas?
