    @SkyHelpTeam Nope. I had to hang up.

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

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

    Hey @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK internet connection down. How long??

  • 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 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!

  • 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

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

  • 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"

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

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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 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?

  • 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.

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

    @mandy_moooouk @SkyHelpTeam Down for me

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • MotoGPTipster MotoGP Tipster (@MotoGPTipster) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’d swap my SkyQ back to this straight away. SkyQ is awful, TV guide is a joke now. One set of recordings for the whole family. Is it possible to go back to Sky HD as I preferred it?

  • Chrismac19Chris Chris Macdonald (@Chrismac19Chris) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam It's saying slow and keeps buffing I'm not getting the full speed

  • JoJoTrainers Jo Gennari 💙 #bemoreshark (@JoJoTrainers) reported from Bromley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Once again abdication all and any customer responsibility

  • einsteinagogo Andrew Hancock (@einsteinagogo) reported

    So @SkyHelpTeam one of your Customer Service Agents convinced my Mother, because you have charged her for a 4 and 5 hour calls, when she stated she had not been on the phone for 4 and 5 hours, stated "She had been charged for a phone off the hook" for 4 or 5 hours ? Really ?

  • Kev_360 Kev🍀⭐️ (@Kev_360) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam There seems to an issue with SKY channels. I’m receiving a message that there’s a ‘Technical Fault’. Could advise when this will be resolved please. Thanks. Kevin

  • JoJoTrainers Jo Gennari 💙 #bemoreshark (@JoJoTrainers) reported from Bromley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Unacceptable..once again abdicating and responsibility for q customer

  • christatum4949 Chris ⚽️🐾 👁👁🌹 (@christatum4949) reported

    @cranmer87 @SkyHelpTeam Just noticed that it’s not working

  • EmWalsh_Stories Emma Walsh 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒗. #AmWriting (@EmWalsh_Stories) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam by contrast, family members on BT with a similar issue were provided with additional boosters immediately that solved the problem. Several months down the line with Sky, you don't seem to be able to solve the issue as swiftly.

  • JoJoTrainers Jo Gennari 💙 #bemoreshark (@JoJoTrainers) reported from Bromley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam No.. It's all @OpenreachHelp fault so Sky can't possibly take an responsibility for their customers... Great service isn't it ?

  • GardeningGolfer Walt (@GardeningGolfer) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam You seem to have a problem with channel 405, fine weather, some other channels working okay. Been off for about 10 minutes now.
