  • SunilHans1 Sunil Hans (@SunilHans1) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I don’t expect anything anymore from Sky. Been a customer for over 20 years….makes me think why.

  • b26westy Mark Weston (@b26westy) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam broadband been down all day in B97 . Any updates ?

  • aligeeachLGH Blue wolf (@aligeeachLGH) reported from Redditch, England

    Sky phone and internet down yet again really are the pits @SkyUK

  • falmouth_wolf Jules (@falmouth_wolf) reported from Willenhall, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @i_am_bmiller Pointless saying to do that. Just says there's no problem. But there clearly I'd as so many people across the country are experiencing either no broadband or it dropping in and out. I've had nothing for hours.

  • SunilHans1 Sunil Hans (@SunilHans1) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Can I DM you my details and please can you try to give me some kind of update as I have no faith in calling in. I have done this on numerous occasions and no one can give me any time scales or an update as to when I will get internet service again. I have had to pay for more data

  • MarkHulme_ Mark Hulme.💀 (@MarkHulme_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Well it’s available to watch and download on the #All4 app, just not through the #All4 menu section on my Sky box so isn’t that an issue with your services then?

  • Torogram87 🏳️‍🌈Jae🇬🇧 (@Torogram87) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK my internet has cut out and is not working help now…

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK I record everything. I never watch live. Not everything on Sky is available for catchup. Hence a hard drive is a non-negotiable. #skyglass

  • KimberleyAStone Kiki (@KimberleyAStone) reported from Redditch, England

    @OpenreachHelp Ive contacted my service provider @SkyHelpTeam and they’re refusing because they’ve said you have to send it to me because they don’t want to be liable. Ive now decided to cancel the upgrade because my landlord is refusing to let any works happen without these permits.

  • CallumDaly14 Callum Daly (@CallumDaly14) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @Danno_75 @SkyUK Same problem here mate, thankful it's just not me

  • SunilHans1 Sunil Hans (@SunilHans1) reported from Birmingham, England

    Can’t believe how long it has taken for @SkyUK to sort out the broadband…went down on 7th August 2021 and still no service. Unbelievable.

  • king_body_art King Of Ink Land ® (@king_body_art) reported from Birmingham, England

    Thanks for letting me skip adverts after 30 or 40 seconds @SkyHelpTeam you also just made me hate @Apple even more than I already do paying for the service to be sold things we don't need or want

  • assman80 Knife Man (@assman80) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK I have no Internet in the B74 area of Birmingham. Is there problems with the network?

  • LadFromTheBlues Lad from the Tilton (@LadFromTheBlues) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It seems ok this morning after rebooting but every night the WiFi signal to internet is broke for at least an hour this has been happening for at least 2 weeks

  • alexthepage Alex Page (@alexthepage) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @Georgehindle46 @SkyUK The movies are absolutely crap, I pay for it and never see anything decent

  • PhilBeardmore Phil Beardmore 🌍 (@PhilBeardmore) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Saigon_Redux @GNev2 @SkySports Gary is right on this issue, as he invariably is.

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    Just had a look at the specs for #SkyGlass. Appears to have no hard drive, so no recording, just streaming and only 3 HDMI ports. That’s an instant “no” from me. Also no satellite socket (to use Freesat when I leave Sky or when the internet goes down). @SkyUK

  • falmouth_wolf Jules (@falmouth_wolf) reported from Willenhall, England

    @groomtings My sky's down but @SkyHelpTeam swear blind it's fine. Intermittent data through @EE but can't send messages or make calls.

  • SunilHans1 Sunil Hans (@SunilHans1) reported from Birmingham, England

    So tomorrow will be 5 weeks without any internet service from @SkyUK they can’t sort the issue out with @OpenreachHelp made numerous phone calls and no one can give me any time scales as to when this will be sorted out… I give up

  • LittleDidWeKno9 MickyRTet (@LittleDidWeKno9) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have been without Sky for over a week resolving this issue. Can you confirm what is being done to correct it? And how much my refund should be for loss of service? Thanks

  • spr_tyrannus James Gerrard (@spr_tyrannus) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I'm trying to change my package. Online it says I need to speak to an adviser. On the phone a machine tells me its a 60min wait and everyone's in training. HELP!

  • FireAndCare OSG Ltd (@FireAndCare) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The internet and phone line has been down for 2.5 hours. The app says there are no issues, so what’s going on. Lymington, Hampshire

  • charlierhodes18 Charlie Rhodes (@charlierhodes18) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’ve done the online help guide, but I have very little time to ring during sky opening hours due to work and family commitments. I need a booster, I just want it organised and sent to me. Considering how much I pay each month for sky, this doesn’t seem an unreasonable request!

  • FireAndCare OSG Ltd (@FireAndCare) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @Mr_D3CLAN @skyhelpteam there are no updates it just says there are no known issues!!

  • GSith85 Gareth (@GSith85) reported

    @_drane @SkyHelpTeam They are terrible. I am going to leave sky as soon as I can. Fed up of the lack of support they offer

  • RachelAKember Rachel Kember (@RachelAKember) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam expecting a fibre engineer between 8 and 1 today, still not turned up and can’t get through to anyone when I call, can you help?

  • jofulton05 Joanne Carter-Fulton (@jofulton05) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I was told Hampshire had a problem still?

  • darren_warner Darren Warner (@darren_warner) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Despite it being down and your tweet confirming that, the check my status reports no known faults in our area. Useless

  • Spursylad10 Spurz (@Spursylad10) reported

    @Daily_Hotspur @SkySports Just to let you know they are. They did it under Poch But your horrible negative tactics mean they end up playing as WB's or CM's when they should be Wingers + CAMS
