    @SkySports Should have give him a testimonial for his service to the club

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

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

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

    @BiggieGriffiths @SkySports I hope your fishing, otherwise you are a complete idiot in that view as the game would have changed completely

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

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks. I thought as much & did hang up as I had a meeting to log onto anyway. Is there any way to block such calls?

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

    @SkyHelpTeam Nope. I had to hang up.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!

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

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

  • AlisonBLowndes Alison B. Lowndes ✿ (@AlisonBLowndes) reported from Newsham, England

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

  • 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

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

    @mandy_moooouk @SkyHelpTeam Down for me

  • ub40eboney Cpat (@ub40eboney) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @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

  • ub40eboney Cpat (@ub40eboney) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @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"

  • 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?

  • the_real_ivo David Ivo Iveson (@the_real_ivo) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @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 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.

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

    @SkyHelpTeam That it would still be affected by the trees. Currently the line of sight in its current location hits the very centre / bulk of the tree. The location I suggested I think at worst would clip some lower branches. I think if mounted low enough it would not hit the tree at all.

  • phil_smith197 Phil Smith 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱 (@phil_smith197) reported from Richmond, England

    Barely worth watching #LeedsvsBrentford on the #redbutton the picture is that bad it actually hurts my eyes!!!come on @SkySports you can do better!!

  • 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!

  • C_O_T_T_S Cookiesonthetopshelf (@C_O_T_T_S) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have issues every day, for a good half an hour, I shouldn’t have to unplug everything and wait for it all to load again. Wasting my time and making my working day longer is a joke! I’d like it fixed or I’ll be cancelling the direct debit for a service that isn’t fit for purpose

  • juliebee Julie Broadfoot • Photographer (@juliebee) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @SkyHelpTeam My broadband is down (or so slow that it’s barely functioning). The app says no service problems but I can see many other people tweeting about this. What’s happening? 🙀

  • alisonrenshaw Alison Renshaw (@alisonrenshaw) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @SBillingtonfan No they won’t. Mine hasn’t been working properly since mid December and they still haven’t fixed it! I even paid to upgrade my broadband package thinking it would help *stupid*

  • Cajeeb1 Cajeeb_RL (@Cajeeb1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The test came back with no faults or problems and we looked at the steps and none of them would fix or improve as the router is where it should be and we have the boost on

  • durki00 (@durki00) reported

    @SkySports Guess he’s never gonna manage again then😭😭he’ll be waiting forever

  • Lielups_10 Daniels (@Lielups_10) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hey Team Sky. The Broadband or The Dns Is Not Working For Me In Aberdeen.

  • MrHappySquid1 MrHappySquid (@MrHappySquid1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I live in Cork 🇮🇪 no internet since 4.30 online test says all ok - tried ringing you but left on hold 45 mins - any help be nice ? Thank you

  • shiv_1143 1143Shiv (@shiv_1143) reported

    @jp74444 @imbluefc @SkySports Look Villa need to sell Grealish and I am not joking, they are hindering his development as a world class player... He will never receive the recognition he deserve while at Villa

  • Carl_Mitchell78 Carl Mitchell (@Carl_Mitchell78) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam No broadband since 4.30pm. Please don’t tell me to use the help section because I have no broadband so can’t. I have full WiFi signal and all three green lights on the router, there is no Broadband coming from the exchange. What is happening?

  • TnTnGnB Tina Bee (@TnTnGnB) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam over the last few hours my internet is dropping out every 10 to 15 minutes, is this a known problem for Kent right now?
