    @SkyHelpTeam I was wondering if you could give me a hand with my WiFi issues, ever since I've got a ps5 I've had connectivity issues nearly every time I use it, when I got this WiFi box I was promised perfect internet up to 4-6 devices where as it struggles to run the ps5 alone.

  • iWhiteBoyv iWhiteBoy v (@iWhiteBoyv) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Why can I not sign in again through Virgin? Yet again it's your sign in page that is messing up. All I'm getting is the spinning circle then Wholesale error.

  • mccann_aiden Aiden McCann (@mccann_aiden) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam my WiFi has been terrible ever since I got a PS5, over the phone was promised that it could work perfect up to 4-6 devices, only one device is connected in the house and still fails to work "perfect"

  • john81993704 john (@john81993704) reported

    @AFCJohn10 @_SAOVO_ @SkySports I’m not disputing that, but they are in 1.2b debt for a reason. Even with the extra revenue he brings, they still owe 100’s of millions for players that isn’t even at the club anymore more. Barca has to be the worst run club in world football

  • robokun87 robokun87 (@robokun87) reported

    @AmanPooni7 @razor_reds3 @SkySports Yes indeed, I'm the retard when people thinking changing literally 1 ******* player is the reason Liverpool went FOUR matches without scoring 1 goal, yes very retarded me. Guess Liverpool had no CB's when they lost to Villa right? nah.

  • CouchPotatoUK West Ham Wesley ⚒️ #GSBOUT (@CouchPotatoUK) reported from Stratford, England

  • AndyTinlin Andy Tinlin (@AndyTinlin) reported

    Hi @SkyHelpTeam - I have a lot of intermittent pixelation on my Sky Q mini box, with ethernet from the main box. Is there a software fix planned? Many people online have the same issue. It's not a connection issue as I am hard wired Can you help? Thanks. #skyq

  • steve_kneale Stephen Kneale (@steve_kneale) reported

    Anybody else struggling to log in to @SkySports using @virginmedia login? Doesn't seem to want to let me on

  • freshtodeath Fresh To Death (@freshtodeath) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’ve done all that, it’s still not working. It says you need to send out an engineer out to my house at a cost but it’s obviously not my house and the whole area so maybe start fixing the issue in east London??

  • dazraf Fuzz (@dazraf) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I want to cancel my contract. How do I do that please?

  • Nizukhalifa Nizu khalifa (@Nizukhalifa) reported

    @SkyUK any idea I can’t login to sky sport app from virginmedia @virginmedia

  • scoooobs82 LET'S GO GE55ARD (@scoooobs82) reported

    Never has there been a better time for Liverpool fans to use our mute button’s on the tv today, @SkySports using to useless ***** like Tyler and Neville to commentate on our game

  • CelticOveralls Celtic Overalls (@CelticOveralls) reported

    @AndrewScobie5 @Record_Sport Fact - Vast majority of Celtic fans never saw @SkySports guy Boyd score a single goal. When he returned to Kilmarnock he used to hide on the bench because he was so useless against us. Hail hail.

  • LandanLife FreeSaliba (@LandanLife) reported

    @AFCJohn10 @_SAOVO_ @SkySports Circular reasoning. Clubs waste money on players every day. If every contract was worth it, clubs would never go bankrupt.

  • s6lty1 Salty (@s6lty1) reported

    God help any blind person listening to Tyler on @SkySports absolutely zero commentary just this clown wittering on about anything else!?! #WHULIV 👍🏼🙄

  • JUNIORC4RT1ER 𝓙𝓾𝓷𝓮𝓬𝓱𝓲.❄️🅴 (@JUNIORC4RT1ER) reported

    @SkyUK should be embarrassed about their broadband advert. BOASTING about 135Mbps and had the CHEEK to say it's "12x faster than their standard broadband"... Meanings standard is coming in at 11.25Mbps? They even know it's **** lol wait till @officialgiggs sees this advert.

  • Eirion3 Eirion (@Eirion3) reported

    @SkySports The people inside are the ones leaking it in the first place lol, Rosell, Bartomeu, Tusquets, it's all the same - they want to throw blame for their shambolic management of the club on Messi as a last '**** you' before they leave for good.

  • ve_sriram Shrizzle (@ve_sriram) reported

    Seriously how on earth does a #LFC fan watch matchday live on #SkySports ?? Terrible commentary! Martin Tyler goes back to Fabianski's Swansea days to find something against Liverpool! Biased commentary at its extreme!

  • Purplemist81 Caz (@Purplemist81) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam please can you help. We renewed our broadband contract with you yesterday. Slightly surprised when we got an email saying you had dispatched to us a Sky Q hub and also gave us an broadband activation date. Is this an error?

  • TPZMickD ⟦MickD⟧ #AssociateProducer ReleaseTheSnyderCut ⚒️ (@TPZMickD) reported

    @SHOHAIB_Hassan @SkyUK @SkyIreland Yeah don’t expect it there for launch. Hammer your regional service providers! #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

    C'mon @jamieredknapp8 @LFC are 4th and how many clubs would give their eye teeth to have those 'big problems? @SkySports
