    @SkyHelpTeam Still no broadband in the Swale area (South East). Has been 16 hours. Please advise how this is being resolved and how I will be compensated for this poor service.

  • EzraDavey Davey Ezra (@EzraDavey) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m glad you are finally talking in facts. If only you could actually give some useful ones. Like length of time it will be down for? Why it’s down? What compensation you will be providing? But it’s great you’ve told us it’s still down 12 hours later. Great work Sky 👍🏻

  • HelenMD Helen Davies (@HelenMD) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam do you have an estimate for when the broadband outage will be fixed? Its been down since before 9pm last night and im supposed to be working from home 😭

  • SamHone83391433 Sam Honey (@SamHone83391433) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @AstroReeceV Aahh yes the link which tells you there's an outage that will be fixed in a couple of hours ago... funnily enough same thing it said 12 hours ago. Cheers for that

  • matty_odonoghue MOD (@matty_odonoghue) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @DuncanIlling Don’t be patronising mate… the whole of the southeast is down. Your team are even saying engineers are on site to still fix an issue which has been ongoing for 12 hours

  • Mozzla_ Dylan (@Mozzla_) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam any update on the outage in Wales, you tell people to go to the website and check and I've checked and it says you found the fault and working on it, that was over 2 hours ago

  • kieron68 Kieron Carroll ; (@kieron68) reported

    My sky broadband is down FFS, when my step son just started a new job from home. It’s bad enough when it’s working (only in some parts of the house) Time to change providers, had 2 years of poor service. Even with booster add-on its poor. Come on Sky @SkyHelpTeam @moedybluz

  • StuartConlon Stuart Conlon (@StuartConlon) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, I live in Kent, is there any update on the Broadband outage as I still seem to be having connection issues 😟

  • emmawitham Emma (@emmawitham) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hi Sky. We had our internet back during the night and up until about 10 minutes ago it was working. Now down again. Frustrating when you’re trying to work from home. We’re in Kent - do you know when it’s likely to be back?

  • sjconway14 samantha conway (@sjconway14) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @stellaandrews32 Last update on the link you keep sharing was at 19:30 on 1st Sept. A more up to date update and when expected resolution would be appreciated- trying to get some work done!!

  • robharristweets Rob Harris (@robharristweets) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Does not help vulnerable people who have medical appointments online! Neither Teams or Zoom work well or at all on 4G.

  • Mark_Thompson3 Mark Thompson (@Mark_Thompson3) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @robharristweets @SkyHelpTeam What is the ETA for resolution?

  • BlaikieMan BlaikieMan (@BlaikieMan) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @Amycarroll85 That would be helpful if the website would load. Your customer service is ridiculous. Pull your head out of your arse and fix this mess.

  • Leem_official lee theface morrish (@Leem_official) reported

    What’s happened to @SkySports @SkySportsNews what a load of **** now. No more watching @SkySports Bet the ratings are down #crap

  • Presser191 Paul.pressley99@gmai (@Presser191) reported

    @SkyUK just renewed my contract yesterday with sky broadband after being convinced it was better. Working from home and my Internet is down today just can't believe it

  • eaglegard 🦅 Matt G (@eaglegard) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @Kai_Stone Quickest and easiest way is for you to reconnect the thousands of people effected. If you want to employ us all to fix your issues then you pay us. Because at the moment we’re all paying you for no service

  • EzraDavey Davey Ezra (@EzraDavey) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam And I’m only able to speak to you via the internet because my 4G isn’t provided my Sky. If it was I’d be waiting 12 hours for a sarcastic response anyway. Thanks for giving me another avenue of complaint though.

  • ZoePPwales Zoe (@ZoePPwales) reported

    @SkyUK Can you please fix the bloody Broadband!! From a desperate mother!!!

  • zoespoor Zoe Spoor (@zoespoor) reported

    @O2 @KatyElphaba My signal is that bad that I can’t even open this! Takes ages then times out 😩 between o2 and @SkyUK I’m not getting a lot of work done!!

  • Jed_Die Jed_Die (@Jed_Die) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Nah struggling to get an answer from Sky on what the issue is with the BB and Sky talk.. Just give people what the issue is and set expectations on when it should be back up.. Don’t hide as people would except a reason than a standard message we’re down..

  • antonia_0 Antonia (@antonia_0) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam It doesn't work. Whatever I am impacted by, your network doesn't work. When will you fix it and how will you compensate people for not being able to work?
