  • Nathan_Skidmore Nathan Skidmore (@Nathan_Skidmore) reported from Hunwick, 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!

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

    @SkySportsPL @SkySports @ManCity @ManUtd Glory supporter, sacking us off now we are shit

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    @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.

  • 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

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

  • 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!

  • 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"

  • 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

  • FrankieeD9 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨𝔦𝔢 (@FrankieeD9) reported

    @DavidHeron17 @ScottyT9804 @SkySports They slow WiFi speed down to make entice you to upgrade so wouldn't be surprised they do the same with pictures quality.

  • WaigyBaird Craig Baird (@WaigyBaird) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam is the sky ‘help’ website purposely designed to send you on an endless loop so you never actually get to speak to anyone. What is the phone number for customer services so someone can actually deal with my query because there is no option for what I want online.

  • LaliqueTheGeek Lalique (@LaliqueTheGeek) reported

    @SkyUK Absolute joke! Was told an engineer was coming this morning. Just phoned up to chase up and told “we don’t have Saturday appointments” are you having a laugh!! If anything happens to my vulnerable grandmother over this weekend. I’m holding you Liable!!! Awful service.

  • garthjsmith Garth Jackson-Smith (@garthjsmith) reported

    @EE Surprised you never called me mate. No concern for anything I’ve said. @skyuk see you soon

  • marcowil Mark Wilson (@marcowil) reported

    @SkyUK I have a sky Q mini box that was never picked up after cancelling the multiscreen service - how do I retur this to you?

  • steelyP Pierre (@steelyP) reported

    @HanifKhan_1 @SkyUK Try driving down Chiswick high road to go to the supermarket or walking an breathing all the fumes from idling cars and busses. Probably a way worse experience.

  • BigKev252 Kevin Poxon (@BigKev252) reported from Nottinghamshire, England

    Is Keith Andrews all that @SkySports can afford? His analysis is **** and his dislike for Forest is disgraceful #nffc

  • WaigyBaird Craig Baird (@WaigyBaird) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Now how do I go about starting the process? Where’s the link? Where’s the phone no to carry on and cancel my service???? 2/2

  • lisab246810 Lisa (@lisab246810) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam sick of being managed and messed around by the mobile team! No one seems to be able to update me but I’m being charged for a handset that was received by your depot on the 10th February. Customer service is shocking!

  • zeitgeistlondon Brent A. Martin (@zeitgeistlondon) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yes I've raised a complaint. I've already told you what the T&Cs say but I would have thought I'd you knew an increase was coming in April I should have been told. I'll see Sky at the ombudsman by the looks of it. Appalling.
