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

    @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!

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

    @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.

    @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.

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

    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?

  • NatleyMCRmy

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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"

    @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

  • j300hno

    @SkyHelpTeam so when your broadband and wifi is shocking you get a email saying it’s going up. Why is it going up? I’m paying for a service that isn’t working as you advertised. Super fast broadband that is completely the opposite

  • Steve1London
    We Deserve Better 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@Steve1London) reported

    A @SkySports subscription is quite expensive and has always been so. Before they used to have Champions League, La Liga, top games professional pundits now they have the women's "Super" League, English championship and Karen bloody Carney probably the worst value for money around

  • Bryn_Rattray

  • BrokeBritannia
    Steve Smith - Broke Britannia (@BrokeBritannia) reported

    @SkyUK's broadband department gets a lot of flack on Twitter but I have to say their service is pretty good sometimes. At lunchtime, I reported a line issue and by 7pm an Openreach engineer had been round and fixed the issue! Very impressive.

  • robpreece_uk

    @SkyHelpTeam And sky store was sky box office and had about 10 transponders just for that service before streaming

  • lesstime
    Matthew (@lesstime) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam So what level of compensation will Sky offer given it's now been 24 hours of downtime? If this is a known outage why was there no proactive communication to affected customers?

  • Holt5249
    MAD (@Holt5249) reported

    @SkyUK Complete frauds, Agree to go into a new contract last month within 28 days NEW PRICE means £9 increase, To top it off billed for Eubank Fight when we were in the USA on holiday. Never booked a PPV before and been billed for it. BULLSHIT
