  • smudge79 Danielle Smith 💙 (@smudge79) reported from Marley Hill, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I have box sets with my package. The issue seems to be that it won’t let me download in SD. Yet have just tried downloading an episode of Will and Grace and it worked fine, in addition to the other episode of Chicago Med I downloaded from season 6. Seems to be a season 5 issue?

  • smudge79 Danielle Smith 💙 (@smudge79) reported from Marley Hill, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m trying to download Season 5 of Chicago Med from Sky Witness on demand but it’s telling me I have to upgrade my package. I have never had an issue downloading series on demand before and ep1 of S6 downloaded without issue. Pls help?

  • waalli90 Gareth wall (@waalli90) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @SkyHelpTeam supposed to have broadband installed yesterday. Had a message a few weeks ago saying there may be a delay. Heard nothing else. Spoke to someone who said there was an issue and someone would call me straight back. Heard nothing again! Come on Sky what’s going on?

  • farrenciaran Ciarán (@farrenciaran) reported from Whickham, England

    Thanks @SkyHelpTeam for wasting an hour of my life for nothing. I was called months back asking how happy I was with my services and if I want to and insurance for any of my smart devices. I said no - on the call I made the agent aware that my Internet signal is shocking.

  • naps154 Paul Naples-Hails (@naps154) reported from Wallsend, England

    @SkyUK and the award for worst customer service goes to Sky. Absolute shambles of a company. Allow people to cancel your services twice and yet expect me to waste hours on phone to get no answer or passed from person to person. Shambles!!! 🤬🤬🤬

  • aliciagraceee Alicia Clayton (@aliciagraceee) reported from Newburn, England

    Don’t know why I have sky anymore, at the same time everyday around 4am both boxes stop working and then the mini skyQ box won’t connect to the main box. It says connected to network too. Tried all the online help and nothing is happening 😩 @SkyUK

  • ChrisLewin Chris Lewin (@ChrisLewin) reported from Blyth, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m still struggling, can you provide a direct number for the technical team, as having issues with my main box as well as multi room box and it’s been like this for over a week! Paying for something I can’t use and the service to get through is horrendous

  • _MartinDean Martin (@_MartinDean) reported from Blyth, England

    @NorthEastEngBVB @SkySports As I’ve said once before mate I totally think they bought the right more cos they just like having the biggest collection of football. They don’t really give a **** about anything other then the premier league.

  • GaryPhi01097988 Gary Phillips (@GaryPhi01097988) reported

    @SkySports I thought Sweden got away with a lot of very physical challenges. The effort of the Swedish players was incredible but they got away with a lot of holding and diving into challenges where they didn’t win the ball. The holding and obstruction defenders get away with now is awful.

  • dino51morgan Dean Morgan (@dino51morgan) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Of course, several times, after eventually getting through, told to reboot everything, create a "wifi web", speed goes up for a few hours, then back to the usual slow or non-existent speed.

  • justhere2231 Nj (@justhere2231) reported

    @SkyUK your wifi is the worst wifi going I hope your company fails and people stop buying your **** your company is a scam and I manifest your down fall.
