  • 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"

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

    @SkyHelpTeam Nope. I had to hang up.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!

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

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

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

    @mandy_moooouk @SkyHelpTeam Down for me

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 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!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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?

    @SkyHelpTeam having issues with my broadband this morning, getting mixed messages from your online support. Can you confirm if there is a network outage in Bury/Tottington?

  • emelschwartz emeles: wheres my Blue Tick?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@emelschwartz) reported

    @SkyUK So u replace yr SkyQ box with a device that’s totally dependent on broadband being active & being unable to record programs If you want to watch a boxed set and fail to do so in the limited time available then expect to miss several episodes Sky hv limited time program licences

  • mattfisher2012 CyptoMatt (@mattfisher2012) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam internet down again in Manchester, Bury… I’m trying to work from home and this is the third time recently. Why is 0333 759 1018 saying it’s an incorrect number also? I want to know how long I’ve got left on my contract as I’m switching to BT. £80 a month for this…

  • NaziaAl44442322 Nazia Alam (@NaziaAl44442322) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I had the worse day yesterday as I couldn't make any calls to my daughter or my husband. Absolutely shambles! I even lost work as I'm self employed and I'm stuck with sky til next year. We should have the right to terminate the contract with no fees. I want a response asap

  • Scools Scools (@Scools) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Our FTTP went down at 10pm last night in Fife- LOS red light. Will need Openreach out? 🧑‍💻

  • DeviousSquire Stuart Ralphson (@DeviousSquire) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam twice in a week now your broadband service has failed in the Lancashire area, i work from home and currently I'm unable to earn an income due to this poor service

  • SugarTartCC Sugar **** Cupcakery (@SugarTartCC) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks for replying. Yes all tests done and apparently there’s yet another outage. Happening far too often, how can we work from home like this?

  • tom1310 thomas brassington (@tom1310) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The problem with sky is if they say sorry they seem to think that’s ok but you do not have any programs sometimes I think how about a refund

  • Stingella Stephanie Stokes (@Stingella) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam our broadband download speed is currently 17mbps and when I try and call for help the number is wrong. The number is 0333 7591 018. Can you advise further please?

  • astableford Al (@astableford) reported

    It appears #skybroadband is down again this morning in Leyland area. PR26. @SkyHelpTeam This is twice in a matter of weeks!
