    @SkyHelpTeam Nothing more to add? Just as useless as your call centre! Below par service despite collecting 100s each month for years - wonderful.

    @leerobson23 @SkyUK But we could send out a engineer who will say it's fine and we'll charge you a shit load. Luckily virgin fibre is offered here now so see if that fixes it

    @SkyUK have put their prices up, both for broadband and TV mid contract, can I cancel because they have done this, or am I stuck with them until the end of the contract?

  • jameseuph
    James McLeod (@jameseuph) reported from Middleton-in-Teesdale, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Yes, because logging in to the website that just tells me there's a problem, with no more explanation is very helpful. I look forward to my account credit for the drop in service.

    @leerobson23 @SkyUK Aye it's not their problem cause they are getting money and pie people off with that bs. It's been same everywhere I've lived mate here, Leam, Deckham, Fawdon and Kenton bar. Sky broadband is the one constant in it all. I've spoke to them loads all I ever get is "it looks fine"

  • Monsieur_Ginger
    Gingerninja (@Monsieur_Ginger) reported from Hunwick, England

    @SkyHelpTeam So you asked me to PM you and you just advise calling the customer service number again? Take a bow sky, you have failed to support for a 5th time!

  • mikecharlston
    Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We’ve had a call today claiming to be needing to check our broadband for issues we’ve had and they had permission from sky head office. The callers English was very poor & the background was noisy. Does this sound like something which is real or a scam?

  • Monsieur_Ginger
    Gingerninja (@Monsieur_Ginger) reported from Hunwick, England

    @SkyHelpTeam You have once again failed to support or help me! .

    @SkyHelpTeam broadband going really slow DL10 area. Can't use services on skyQ because of this!

  • AlisonBLowndes

    @SkyHelpTeam That system does nothing when there's an outage. What's the status? DM me please.

    Straight into negativity against #LUFC within the first couple of seconds of @SkySports coverage. Absolutely awful........

  • NatleyMCRmy
    Natalie (@NatleyMCRmy) reported from Richmond, England

    @SkyHelpTeam why do you offer boxsets with sky signature but fail to tell people that 90% of the boxsets are in HD which I don't have!

  • nickbriggs72
    nick briggs🏆💙💛 (@nickbriggs72) reported from Startforth, England

    @CarlCharnley @SkySportsPL @SkySports Why? He was headbutted if you agree Pepe headbutted the incident stops there, why should Alioski get a card for being headbutted? If he hadn’t Pepe might have got away with it which is more wrong

  • jameseuph
    James McLeod (@jameseuph) reported from Middleton-in-Teesdale, England

    @SkyHelpTeam any word when my broadband is going to start working again? An undisclosed problem in my area for an indeterminate length of time is ... useless really.

  • Monsieur_Ginger
    Gingerninja (@Monsieur_Ginger) reported from Hunwick, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Nope. I had to hang up.

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK Cancel it altogether, she won't miss it, people think they can't live without it. Get a Freesat box, there's plenty to watch on there. Best wishes to her.

  • GlynisSpencer
    Glyn-Oh behave! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 'Wabbit'🦖🌹 (@GlynisSpencer) reported

    @jammierooroo @JamesMillerHi @SkyUK Sit with her while she calls them back. Put it on speakerphone, so you can hear. The contract was made over the phone. That is distance selling. She has a 14 day cooling off period to cancel it.

  • imjustbeingmeJ
    JustJ Parody account😉 (@imjustbeingmeJ) reported

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK £170????? Is she paying for her neighbours too? That's despicable. My MIL signed up for two @SunLife policies, has paid over £10k in, will get about £4k back. They won't listen to our argument about her dementia, won't pause the payments and if we cancel she'll lose it all..

  • theoldbloke
    Allan Colcombe (@theoldbloke) reported

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK There’s a cooling-off clause on all phone contracts (ex-Sky customer here) so she should get it corrected.

  • TheFluffster1
    TheFluffster1 (@TheFluffster1) reported

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK Do take a look at the distance selling regulations under the Consumer Rights Act if needs be. There's a right to cancel within 14 days. Sky should be fully aware of this.

  • green_powder2
    GP (@green_powder2) reported

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK They are awful ,I quit them years ago when they lied to me about what one of their reps said to me.Never again.

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK Sky are some of the worst out there

  • sallycinnamon99
    Upside Mum (@sallycinnamon99) reported

    So it turns out that One Touch Switch and continuing you service until new service is active doesn’t mean anything to @SkyUK No broadband for two days, despite having paid for it as well.

    @SkyHelpTeam Typical of @SkyUK poor customer service.

    @Iolanthe2345 @CindyTh3Dog @SkyUK It amazes me, any of us could get hit by a bus tomorrow and the family are left with this horrible situation, it’s 2026 for gods sake, there has to be a better way to deal with the bereaved.
