    @emelschwartz @SkyHelpTeam Also in Chelmsford and broadband down since yesterday afternoon with EE. Been told major line fault that’s affected BT,SKY,EE etc. Engineers are working on it and was told it could be fixed anytime up till Midnight. Hope this helps. Think it’s flooding related.

  • x_missesther_x #EndSars l Black Lives Matter l 🇳🇬 (@x_missesther_x) reported

    During this whole pandemic, since March 2020 @SkyUK Internet service & connection has been hell. At least once a week the Internet goes down or stops working kmt

  • timscoreboard Tim Powell (@timscoreboard) reported

    @BisphamRed @SkySports Shot to **** Steve and even chatting on here is getting my anxiety levels up. So phone off and concentrate on Rick Stein's Cornwall, before going on another long walk for me. Up the reds mate ✊🏽

  • JohnBroadfoot12 John Broadfoot (@JohnBroadfoot12) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam no broadband very unhappy children and no one to help. 45 minutes to speak to someone!

  • ardnesa fandi (@ardnesa) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I am not in the UK and it is really hard to call the customer service to reschedule my engineer visit for Sky broadband moreover since I am not using UK phone number. Isn't there any other way to reschedule the engineer visit except calling by phone?

  • FAKode Mr. Kode (@FAKode) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Any reason why internet isn’t working? was fine last night now apparently there’s an outage in the area (BR3) checked service status, all fine the I Ran the home fix issues link and still not working... help please!!

  • Lee_Lesley_M Lesley M (@Lee_Lesley_M) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Could you clarify if your engineers are allowed into the home of someone shielding? In Lockdown 2 our Engineer was very reluctant to come on, despite me offering to go into another room whilst my carer dealt with the issues I was having.

  • julesperiperi Mrs A (@julesperiperi) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam We have tried testing it a number of times, last night and this morning, the test has only just completed. Says we need an engineer... Again. Not good enough. Why don’t any of the complaint tabs work on the website??

  • davepell1 Dave Pell (@davepell1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam There’s strangely no outages reported even though multiple people have reported the problem. Have spoken with sky broadband team twice but they didn’t have much information on it

  • Callyius The Faded King (@Callyius) reported

    Sky, believe in better? More like I be leaving for better. Honestly, your broadband is terrible; it's essential for it to be working today but no, you had to screw it up. @SkyHelpTeam

  • mooseovtang John Gatenby (@mooseovtang) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hey sky. So someone came to my communal dish today to try fix my signal. They said they couldn’t do it but someone would today as they’re quiet at the minute. Now why am I being told Monday?

  • drobgod Dean Goddard (@drobgod) reported

    Been a bit busy and not seen it mentioned on @SkySports or any Social Media platforms so hoping for some help. Can anybody tell me who #ManUtd are playing Sunday?

  • LEMMINGINVESTOR Small Company Champion (@LEMMINGINVESTOR) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I work in IT service, which included networking. If you took the time to look at the pictures you would note I have done as you suggested, 17 times Friday alone. Your network is simply flaky as a chocolate flake. Phone support is averaging over 45 minutes.

  • Judith91643080 Judith (@Judith91643080) reported

    @x_missesther_x @SkyUK Same here I've had so many problems and its impossible to get through to speak to someone

  • PhilLees77 Phil Lees (@PhilLees77) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, I've read the Discovery + channel Is free as a Sky VIP reward. Could you tell me how I claim this without a SkyQ box please. PS, a 20+ year customer...

  • mooseovtang John Gatenby (@mooseovtang) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I called yesterday and waited 1 hour. They said it would be fixed today. (Helmsley house, York)Your engineer said someone would fix it today. Now sky say Monday. 4 days to fix a signal issue?? Not really good enough is it letting your customers down.

  • paulp_123 paul (@paulp_123) reported

    @SkySports British media were hammering real for their apparent poor treatment of bale. Yet how long has he been at spurs earning all that money doing nothing ?

  • cityblue1971 whats this button do (@cityblue1971) reported

    @SkySports I was at the game when Rooney scored the overhead against City. We marked him out of the game big time, and that was the only thing he did. Great goal but crap game from him. CTID

  • partridge1971 Matt Partridge (@partridge1971) reported

    Sherwood just called The Championship ‘a poor league’. More competitive than the Prem Timbo #SkySports

  • emelschwartz emeles #mylifematters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺 👍 (@emelschwartz) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Impossible since your only means of contact is via a process to fix a problem on line EXCEPT THERE IS NO ON LINE....SKY HAS FAILED! And there is no damned contact number to call Clearly this is your policy to avoid any complaints or calls for help by making sky impossible to call

  • ross_6479_RNLD ross 💙 (@ross_6479_RNLD) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam so disappointed with sky, over 16years fantastic years of service with you and no recognition, I’ve higher bills than new customers and if I do reluctantly renew my account you charge me for the privilege, sadly seems it’s time for me to move to a new provider. :(

  • robtje robtje (@robtje) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam When did the remote come out? The last time a similar offer occurred I followed all the steps - and never heard back or recieved the remote

  • ails64 ails (@ails64) reported

    @SkyUK ‘Upgraded’ to SkyQ around 8 weeks ago. Intermittent broadband phone and tv for well over a week. Speeds generally woefully slow, Used your testing facility, instructed to phone, expected wait time ...45mins. Not good enough!

  • mooseovtang John Gatenby (@mooseovtang) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam An engineer came to our home. 1 hour later sky customer services (sky Q tech team) called my wife.

  • davepell1 Dave Pell (@davepell1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam is there any update on the internet problems in Colchester? I live in the CO4 area and we’ve had no internet for 2 days now

  • ian_paul428 Ian Tomlinson (@ian_paul428) reported
