    @SkyHelpTeam I have already signed in to see what is offered, I am being offered BT sport at an extra £25 per month on top of the £28 I already pay for Sky Sports as a thanks for being a customer for nearly 15 years whereas a new sports customer gets them both for £35 per month

  • fredspoon pipkins (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @itsdanharvard @SkyHelpTeam So many people using it and buildings etc etc in London it’s just terrible.

  • Renegadeangel5 John-Paul Stephenson (@Renegadeangel5) reported from Walker Gate, England

    The hardest thing about dealing with my mum’s estate has been cancelling @SkyHelpTeam They play games to wear you down by passing you to a different team, wasting your time and money.

  • Geordie_Shaun shaun (@Geordie_Shaun) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam how can I get a call back from customer service. Every time I call there’s a 20+ min wait

  • SEAMONKEYOO7 . (@SEAMONKEYOO7) reported from Willington, England

    @SkyUK Could you pls stop confusing your customers eg Ripping of full paying Sky paying customers with “SkyStore” rentals 😤. Why can’t a full paying customer watch a rental on a tv that doesn’t have that random app. 🧐

  • iamAfrosamurai Allan Williams™ (@iamAfrosamurai) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Whoever is doing the sound on the @SkySportsF1 Testing: Story So Far program needs to sort the levels out, seriously. Two days now of very Testing audio.... Lip syncing out too, mics not working. Unless it's a work experiencer, then I'm afraid they're fired! #SkyF1 @SkyHelpTeam

  • EllisLandreth1 Ellis (@EllisLandreth1) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Sky Q. I’ve had this issue since it was installed last year but it’s happening across more channels. I’ve tried all the trouble shooting methods but we have a communal apartment dish so I’m wondering if this is the reason

  • topazzz9 Moira (@topazzz9) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Thank you to 2 members of @SkyUK the other week who had a promotional stand inside Newcastle’s Eldon 🔲. Your help and plastic carriers were a godsend, as the paper bags @BootsUK are using fell apart just feet from the shop. I’m sure they’re very green, but far too flimsy!

  • PHoare1963 Dr Peter Hoare ⌬ (@PHoare1963) reported from Sacriston, England

    @BenjaminDBarker @Ravens @Saints @SkySportsNFL @SkySports As long as it isn’t the New England Cheaters, I frankly don’t give a damn! Neither of my teams have made the playoffs (again🙄). #GoFins #GoBroncos

  • iamAfrosamurai Allan Williams™ (@iamAfrosamurai) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    I'm sure @Eurosport_UK is the most useless channel going. Recorded @dakar highlights only for it to record the overrunning Snooker. So, download the highlights program on my @SkyHelpTeam Q box, only for it to be the same overrunning Snooker program. Its ridiculous really, #cancel

  • strizley7 Lesley Wheatley (@strizley7) reported from Tanfield, England

    @crimlawuk @GNev2 And a terrible response on behalf of @SkySports

  • VeteransR Veterans Response CIC (@VeteransR) reported from Sacriston, England

    @SkySports As a sky customer are you refunding the sky sports fee to your customers as the main reason I subscribe is for football there for the contract is now nil & void 🤔

  • Tullic OfficialMickTee (@Tullic) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @SkyHelpTeam is there another problem with Sky emails. Cant access it with password!

  • the_fatman61 Will Grigg scored yet? (@the_fatman61) reported from Washington, England

    @SkyHelpTeam why have you took the skyQ app down. The skygo one is bloody awful

  • thedoctor_84 mackem gazza (@thedoctor_84) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @_xSxeHxLx_x @SkyHelpTeam Do you not see the irony in what you’ve tweeted? Using the words major outage and then implying it should be something thats easily fixed, muppet

  • chrisholme1983 Chris Holme (@chrisholme1983) reported

    @WiganWarriorsRL @hullkrofficial Cheers @SkySports My family of six now won’t be attending this fixture costing the club money but I guess you guys just don’t give a **** about that. Wankers

  • Idolovemovies I do love movies (@Idolovemovies) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have seen on a website that a lot of areas of the UK including where I live have no broadband. Are you currently down or doing maintenance or something? If so how long before the internet is back up and running.

  • niiciidee Nici Donnelly (@niiciidee) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam please can you advise when the Sky broadband will be fixed in Chester Le street, DH2. I am working from home & this is causing major issues. It has been down all morning despite your website saying there are no issues. Not acceptable!
