    @SkySports @virginmedia you are officially crap. Opening EFL weekend and no-one can access Sky Sports Plus. Very poor.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam That was always my gripe! Used to ask them to cancel and every time they’d eventually drop the price, but got bored of having to play this game after 25 years and finally ditched them! Best decision ever haven’t missed it once, Netflix and Prime fill the gap so much cheaper.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I've just left sky for that exact reason and I'm now paying 25 quid a month for the same service

    @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.

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx We pay for a service and you are not delivering the required service will you or @SkySports be offering us a refund?? Watching it on a tablet, phone or laptop is not the same...

    @hanx3sports @eurofootcom @SkySports He had like 1 bad game and he's still young and coachable. Saliba gonna miss months and you can't give all his minutes to Mosquera, it's smart, but let's see if it actually happens

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Sky comes down Openreach fibre, like most other providers, so it is very easy to move elsewhere. They act like they have a monopoly on Broadband and TV, but the world has changed. They don't.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam 💯 I left Sky last month after being a customer for over 30 years. Feel like we are being forced to pay massive rises in prices because they are so desperate to keep the football and have to pay through the nose for it. I’m £130 better off.

    @IamUtdballz @TouchlineX @SkySports "AC Milan is a small club"?!?! They've won the Champions League 6 times, hardly a small club? Man Yoo are only what they are because of Busby/Ferguson. You'd be nothing without them. Never read so much dross. You're well named Mr Ballz, cause that's what you talk.

    @SkyHelpTeam Got to say the discussion I've just had with your renewal team was one of the worst experiences I've ever had Kept on dragging things out Being sneaky when quoting prices and failing to disclose total price Avoiding answering simple questions and zero loyalty

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Move off , check comparison sites . EE was charging me £55 for 500gbs and every time I queried it was because of the service they provided is so much better , I only ever wanted them to sort glitches and had to go through phone robots, now with virgin 1100gbs £30 not a glitch!

    The refereeing for the York vs Bristol rovers game has to be some of the worst I have ever seen. @SkyBetLeagueTwo @SkySports

    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.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had a similar issue with Virgin and ended up leaving because I don't need endless numbers of channels, I just need something good to watch.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Step 1: Cancel it. Step 2: Hook a PC up to your TV & never pay to watch anything ever again.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had the same issue with sky a few Months back, what I had to do was sign up under another name(wife) take the broadband deal with tv package(even though we didn’t want it) then I sent back the little tv dongle, and cancel that and just kept the BB, was the only way of doing it

    CW🇬🇧 (@UKCLR) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had this with virgin I went through and cancelled Then got a call from the cancellation team two days later offering me a cheaper deal than the new customer one. They are all scamming ***** it just depends on who you talk to

  • plumbeing
    Joe (@plumbeing) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I had the same issue for years was stuck on an old package that they didn’t offer anymore and the price would get increased every year it got to like £50 a month for just a 20mb line. They recently upgraded the internet in my block and now I pay less for much faster speeds

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I have this same problem. Thankfully, Hyperoptic installed in my postcode and have been using them for for free (first 12months contract deal) and will start paying for it when the Sky contract terminates. Cant wait to send that final call/email to tell them to **** off forever

    @WeAreOpenreach @SkyHelpTeam are saying contact you, your saying context sky. They've sent me a router that doesn't work. Why is nothing straightforward.

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam everyone who complains about new customer pricing needs to have a good think every once in a while. it's an OFFER used to INCREASE customer numbers. same happens with many different services.
