    @JackCooper91 @SkyHelpTeam It's reassuring that someone has the same issue! I only realised at 7 tonight when I was expecting a call from my parents. Hope it gets sorted soon!

    @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 Call them up and tell them you’re a loyal customer and struggling financially, they will meet you half way.

    @SkyHelpTeam AVOID THIS COMPANY ! Went for a Sky broadband contract. They made a mess of the outside of my house and now are refusing to do anything about it. Telling me it's my responsibility to get Openreach to fix it. Absolutely disgusting way to treat customers. Theyll see me in court

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam My sky is up for renewal and they are charging me £20 more then a new customer, for the same package. So much for loyalty 🤬

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Best thing you can do is change provider every 2 years, you get all the latest equipment, new customer prices, you just have to play them at their own game, loyalty gets you nowhere these days.

  • DaDitties
    ❗️Nobody’s friend❗️ (@DaDitties) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Cancel your contact and if you have someone else living in your household ask them to open a new account with sky to receive the new deals for new customers then do the same again when that’s up for a renewal Keep changing customers and keep bills down

    Mart Mart (@MartMart_62) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Sky customer for almost 27 years. Price jumped to £180. New customers get a similar package for £71. Only difference was I had sky Q the new one was sky stream. Tried to haggle but their best price was nowhere near the new customer price. Needless to say I start virgin next week

    @niiciidee @SkyHelpTeam We have the same problem and have a family member in hospital. This is getting ridiculous, we need to change provider or one of us has to go to a different network so at least one of us is able to make and receive calls/texts

    Tom McCarthy (@TomMcCarthy92) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I’m not sure why you’re surprised.This has always been the case with sky. You’re paying £90 a mth to watch the exact same TV that they are advertising the exact same channels to a new customer for £50 per mth. Mind boggling! No customer loyalty at all, yet we all still pay it

  • LFC_DieHard99
    Zain (@LFC_DieHard99) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Your all new customers at one point of service, so everyone gets that initial discount. After that, you pay the standard prices, don’t see anything wrong with that.
