    @SkyHelpTeam @D1n0nlyT8 Yes my new iPhone 12 keeps going silent for seconds at a time on a call and my husbands keeps going muffled. Also, with the billions in profit Sky make surely there’s a better way to get hold of customer service if you have a problem.

  • nickywake Nicky Wake (@nickywake) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    Absolutely great service from @SkyUK tech team, solving WiFi issues and saving me money be reworking my packages very impressed

  • bo01388513 paul bo (@bo01388513) reported from Manchester, England

    @MrFaz1 @OwenMcDaid5 @SkySports That, to be fair, is bollocks. We were on a great run of form just before lockdown. If anything it came at a bad time and ****** our momentum.

  • peterwilkinso12 peterwilkinson (@peterwilkinso12) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkySports really bad coverage of bootin wanderers tonight even missed the final score

  • MinaMinxi Nina Marshall (@MinaMinxi) reported from Mawdesley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Excellent advice, shame I didn't think of that.... 🙄 Oh hang on, we have once again, and been told exactly the same thing again, apparently they are going to come sometime next week now.... I'll believe it when I see it!!

  • MinaMinxi Nina Marshall (@MinaMinxi) reported from Mawdesley, England

    @skyuk how long is it going to sort our broardband. So far, through January we have had practically no broard band due to slow slow speeds.... You said it was fixed... For the last 3 weeks we have had NO broardband connection at all... And no help from your customer service.

  • dtackley Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    @SkyHelpTeam This is exactly the problem. The test shows connection between hub and exchange is fine but even a single device directly wired to the hub shows poor performance. This suggests the problem is further upstream than our connection to the exchange but I can't get anyone to check.

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • MattWellock 𝙆𝙞𝙩𝙆𝙖𝙩 (@MattWellock) reported from Manchester, England

    Can’t wait to move over to @SkyUK in a couple of weeks, @virginmedia is the absolute worse now, internet used to be brilliant but know goes off and can’t pick up in some rooms anymore, had about 3 new hubs too, it’s just terrible! Don’t let me down Sky.

  • JonathanWood Jonathan Wood (@JonathanWood) reported from Bury, England

    @maffers1882 @SkySports I’ll never pay for it.

  • leeamitch Lee Mitchell (@leeamitch) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Yeah I know that now. Left Vodafone for similar new customer/ existing customer divide. Once you’ve got them forget about them eh! Phone, 2xmobile, tv and broadband with you guys......for now.

  • leeamitch Lee Mitchell (@leeamitch) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Yes I know otherwise I would of taken it. My point is why £10 more as an existing customer if I want 50gb?

  • Bolton1251 Michael Clarkson (@Bolton1251) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi thanks for the reply. I've been on the website and tried all the suggestions but the problem persists. I tried ringing but was told I'd be sent a text with a link to the website.

  • HazukiSensei Danny (@HazukiSensei) reported from Manchester, England

    Is there a cartoon network package for @SkyUK? Like... just cartoon network?

  • Malbrierley MR.B 💙 (@Malbrierley) reported from Preston, England

    @SkySports Really? is that how you see it ? Not that the defence is awful or some players shouldn't have the RED shirt in their back 😡😡🤡

  • RJ_Hardman Rob Hardman (@RJ_Hardman) reported from Bolton, England

    @_DC72 @SkyHelpTeam Had the same problem. Managed to get through to talk to someone on 0333 759 0627 to downgrade TV package

  • srudd1992 Ruddy (@srudd1992) reported from Leyland, England

    @IiChubsI @SkySports Dunk asked him, the referee could have replied ‘no’ and then none of this would be getting discussed, it was poor poor free kick management by the referee that caused the situation.

  • johnbradford93 John-Paul Bradford (@johnbradford93) reported from Salford, England

    @SkyHelpTeam This is getting beyond a joke now!! Waiting on the phone for half an hour and still waiting to talk to the 5th person of the day. Trying to resolve an issue I have had since December and already spoke to 4 people and had an engineer come out who had to stand outside!

  • Bolton1251 Michael Clarkson (@Bolton1251) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi. Been having probs with new HDR Q box. Regular sound pauses watching recordings on Q, pixelated on mini. Updated software and reset hard drive but still same issues. Tried getting through to someone on phone but automated system sending me round in circles.

  • MinaMinxi Nina Marshall (@MinaMinxi) reported from Euxton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Do you think after 7 weeks of problems we haven't spoken to anyone!!! We know what the problem is! It's getting an engineer to sort it out that's like getting blood from a stone. They've said they would come every week for the last 3 weeks, and each week, no one arrives...

  • Leda__Reynolds Leda Reynolds (@Leda__Reynolds) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hi there. The red button for the West Brom v Cardiff game is not working. Are you looking to fix this please????

  • MLMattnicks Matt - Success over Sentiment  (@MLMattnicks) reported

    @shelleex5 @WBA @SkySports I'm getting the same issue. Stuttering all over the gaff too

  • ThebucketHatSam BucketHatSam (@ThebucketHatSam) reported

    RED BUTTON STILL NOT WORKING FOR WBA, SORT IT OUT! @SkyFootball @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia

  • Bradley31761624 Bradley (@Bradley31761624) reported

    @SkySports Poor discipline and poor finishing was to blame for arsenal losing that game. I think they deserved a pen but that doesn’t take away from the poor mentality. Lots of teams don’t get pens when they deserve one but the utter collapse despite playing well is on them!

  • RhysMCFC__ RhysMCFC (@RhysMCFC__) reported

    @benmcfc03 @SkySports Regret logging onto twitter. Managed to avoid it all day yesterday for reasons like this. Football media are and incredibly biased and it will never change. But who's the real winner? Us, the real fans of the best team in the world? Or the media teams sulking in their sleep. :)

  • markhol55 Mark (@markhol55) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam what’s the problem with the Red Button for WBA v Cardiff @SkyFootball . It’s the only match that isn’t working…… come on sort it out
