    Can someone @SkySports tell me why we are never referred to as Newcastle United any more. It’s our name, in case you forgot.

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @SkyHelpTeam good evening I am a skyq VIP customer I think I have mistakenly signed up to an HD TRIAL how can I cancel please

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi..My Sky Talk landline is down due to a problem in my area. Have you got any idea when will this be resolved?

  • tomcowey Tommy (@tomcowey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @stevewallwork @SkySports I deliberately refer to NUFC as United when talking to people at work down south. Think we should reclaim the word on principle (also correct any NUFC fan which all Man U “United”) its doing the Lord’s work.

  • MattKeena 🏳️‍🌈Matt Keena🏳️‍🌈 (@MattKeena) reported from East Rainton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam My sky vip NEVER works click on it on the sky app then click on an option and it always comes up “unable to generate URL”

  • TheatreTots_NE Hannah Parsonage (@TheatreTots_NE) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @EXPATTERNS1 @SkyHelpTeam I am having the same problem...is it an outage in the area?

  • Jamiefozz92 James 🇬🇧 (@Jamiefozz92) reported from Dunston, England

    I have no idea who this speed kid is. But can you imagine in the early 2000’s giving a tit like that air time. He’d be shunned. Never seen again. It’s utterly embarrassing that @SkyFootball are giving him airtime. Even after insulting Man United greats!! #skysports

  • ChrisNUFC4 Chris (@ChrisNUFC4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @sky DESPERATELY need to improve their coverage in Newcastle City centre especially on a match day. I have to use a secondary EE mobile as a hotspot if I want to use my phone and I’m not talking in the stadium either!! #SkyMobile #Network

  • MrJamesCCC Mr James 📚 MCCT (@MrJamesCCC) reported from Wallsend, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks, but none of the steps have worked as it drops out for a minute or two and then comes back on, usually before any diagnostic has been completed. It’s now also affecting my Sky Q box’s connectivity. Seems like a number of others are having the same problem.

  • MurthaOfficial Stephen ‘Murf’ Murtha ©️ (@MurthaOfficial) reported from Newburn, England

    @SkyHelpTeam can you tell me why I have the same sim deals as the rest of my family, we have the same phones, yet when I’m out, their phones will load app data and web data no problem, but mine keeps buffering. No matter what it is, FB, Twitter, App Store, Web. Help please.

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • jasonhebron Jase ⚫️⚪️ ♿️ (@jasonhebron) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @DailyMirror Another low for @Carra23 that no doubt @SkySports will sweep under the carpet as they did with his spitting incident… #noshame

  • Jonathan1982 Jonathan Darbyshire (@Jonathan1982) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam why do I have an email from sky hiking broadband prices up by £5 on two services I no longer have? Rang customer support. They told me it was a generic email which is a lie, it is a specific email to me saying MY April bill will be affected.

  • bonitobunny kirsty thornton (@bonitobunny) reported

    @jrewillis @SkyHelpTeam Yep DY2 down, I fully regret changing to sky broadband... terrible service

  • louadams1 me (@louadams1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @Liam_J_Wells I fail to understand why you can’t give an update? Or reply to your messages?? I moved to Sky, from Virgin, back in October. The minute i’m out of contract i shall be moving back. I hope we’re getting refunded for the loss of service too. Not impressed at all

  • AkatsukiNug AkatsukiNug (@AkatsukiNug) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @halimak59649358 Everyone’s internet is down in the DY area don’t you know when it will be fixed it’s been down for 12 hours

  • lifewithjessx Jess🍑 (@lifewithjessx) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam so many people having issues with their Internet in the DY area for over 12 hours it's clearly a bigger problem that we can't solve ourselves by unplugging our router so when is it going to be fixed?!😡

  • RattyAVFC Ratty Gar (@RattyAVFC) reported

    @gordonelcock @SkyHelpTeam Bizarre that @SkyHelpTeam are responding to peoples questions they could just Google but a service of theirs being down since yesterday across the whole of a town they conveniently ignore the tweet

  • hart_alison4611 Alison Hart (@hart_alison4611) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam looking at the number of tweets you have had from people in DY5 and DY6 there is clearly an outage in our area which has been going on since 20.49 according to your own website. Can you please confirm a timeframe for when this will be fixed?

  • nethertonboy1 blackcountryvelo (@nethertonboy1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam how much longer is internet going to be down in dy5 20.50 last night it started .????
