  • Doddsy9 Doddsy (@Doddsy9) reported from Stanley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I really need a WiFi booster the signal strength of my router is so poor I lose connection when I walk 10 steps into my living room

  • MrsLou_R Louise Ross (@MrsLou_R) reported from Sunderland, England

    @SkyHelpTeam The problem is someone called me from sky to upgrade to sky Q for £20 but had issues and told me to call back but I can’t call back can I? Then you can only do it online for £199? So why do it online when I know you can get better deal speaking with someone?

  • TimBellhouse Tim Bellhouse (@TimBellhouse) reported from Dunston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam is there an issue with the mobile area of my account? Trying to activate a sim but just a blank page. Tried 2 browsers and via the app...

  • SarahFallows82 Sarah (@SarahFallows82) reported from Ryton, England

    @SkyUK don’t like the new update for Sky Q. Slow and clunky.

  • jonridley87 Jon (@jonridley87) reported from Hetton-Le-Hole, England

    Looking forward to not seeing a second of Liverpool or Leeds’ celebrations. No doubt the skysports wankfest will be unbearable. 30 years of hurt of Liverpool, **** off man

  • emi_rowe Emily Rowe (@emi_rowe) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam No broadband in NE1! But my account says no issues in my area? 😩🤔

  • Woodysimon1987 Woody (@Woodysimon1987) reported from Gateshead, England

    @JaseMac1986 @SkySports And this is why they're not arsed about letting their customers down. They're like Mike Ashley, they know they can do what they want and they'll be endorsed by enough paying customers to keep them going. Seriously, £50 a year and I can sort you out...

  • OohAwful Kirst (@OohAwful) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, I can’t log into my account and can’t get through to the line that it advises me to call. Can you help ?

  • pennas17 carlpennington (@pennas17) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkySports Idiot not even 2m

  • wjc_14 Will (@wjc_14) reported from Durham, England

    The new @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam Q update is crap. The remote has been close to going through the tele twice 😡

  • tracycyprus Tracy Maudsley (@tracycyprus) reported from Birtley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam An approximate 45 minute wait is not acceptable to cancel a part of my package when the customer should be able to cancel with one click online. Am guessing it’s because your call handler has a script to follow to try to persuade us not to drop sports pack (2/2)

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

    @LisaBinney @SkyHelpTeam The price you pay when you’ve been a loyal customer for 30 years xx

  • eponymousdrums adam featherstone (@eponymousdrums) reported from Lanchester, England

    @LeePuckrin @SkyBetChamp @EFL @SkySports Least you don’t support Sunderland fella! They’ve been ripped off the most.

  • emi_rowe Emily Rowe (@emi_rowe) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • helenolearyx Helen O'Leary (@helenolearyx) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam please could you advise when your broadband will be up and running? It has been down in my area for the past 2 hours and I am trying to work from home. Have tried all troubleshooting options

  • Highlander508 Highlander (@Highlander508) reported

    @SkySports He should mind his own ****'n business!

  • Dannys0772 Danny ⚒️⚒️ (@Dannys0772) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam OK, I'm still non the wiser what is going on Can't get anyone to speak too, your online help is no help Was told online that an engineer would be booked as your tests could not resolve the issue, heard nothing since, are they booked? When are they due? Who knows?

  • KateH123 Kate (@KateH123) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hi (I’m on Sky Q) you have a list of must see movies, Gone Girl is one, but it has no subtitles. It’s a fairly old film so is there a reason why it wouldn’t have them? Really tricky to watch if you have a hearing problem!

  • ScrumpyPiPUK With or Without a Beard (@ScrumpyPiPUK) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @MyPersona123 Leading customer service? I've been on hold for nearly an hour listening to the same three soundtracks. I've listened to the soundtrack for Sherlock about 25 times ffs

  • ScrumpyPiPUK With or Without a Beard (@ScrumpyPiPUK) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Receiving wildly varying internet speeds, but averaging 15mbps despite paying for the top Internet speeds. Finally had enough and decide to call for support because the online tests are "unavailable and i've been on hold for 40mins listening to the same three
