    @SkyHelpTeam - No call back today as arranged & guaranteed, simple response the contract will terminate on 24th July!! #epicfail #customerservice

  • eindhoven63 Peter Broadbent (@eindhoven63) reported from Manchester, England

    @SkyHelpTeam so you lock my account. I cant now use Sky Go. I can't login to my account. All because an email account I don't use has been hacked. And to unlock it I have to ring YOU and wait in a 45min queue. The first automated q asked is What's My Password!! NOT answering THAT

  • Vikmarshall17 Victoria Marshall (@Vikmarshall17) reported from Burnley, England

    Seriously thinking of telling @SkyUK to come and remove Sky Q and put my wired boxes back in - nothing but hassle - can never watch 1 full programme on the mini boxes without problems!!!! @SkyHelpTeam 🤬😡🤯

  • joalhe1997 Joel Heritage (@joalhe1997) reported from Manchester, England

    @hazcraig1 @C4Sport @Channel4 @SkySports partly admittedly because it's not their thing, but also because many have never had any exposure to cricket. I got into cricket because of the 2005 Ashes (the last FTA matches), don't think I would have otherwise. It inspired me to pick up a bat and ball and go out and play...

  • tomoennion7 Thomas Ennion (@tomoennion7) reported from Hindley, England

    @SkySports biggest game in @SuperLeague and it’s not live #SLStHWig #awful #brainless #lostviewers #shocking

  • laurathompson81 Laura Pendlebury (@laurathompson81) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It’s taken 7 hours to download Cars 2 from our purchased archive. My little guy isn’t v happy. I’ve tried deleting things from our planner but doesn’t help it taking so long. We can only watch films with the play triangle on , so annoying when we pay so much. 😩

  • sheila_riley Sheila Riley (@sheila_riley) reported from Bury, England

    @AndyhHolt @TheJackDearden Jack, is there any way this can be flagged up to SkySports. Something needs to be done and very quickly and you may be the man to help Bury.

  • mowfie April Mowforth (@mowfie) reported from Preston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam sick of these problems with recording on sky Q. It was showing on the app as recording but wasn’t recording on the sky box. Really wish I hadn’t upgraded to this it’s been nothing but trouble!

  • monkeycloud4 Carl Rimmer (@monkeycloud4) reported from Hindley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m having a problem with my email account, wonder if u could help me

  • jakemac97 Jake McLaughlin (@jakemac97) reported from Wigan, England

    Shows how shit @SkySports has gone when they don’t show one of the biggest derby games in rugby league on television. #WiganvsSaints no wonder @btsport is taking over

    @SkySports Awful manager

  • mrpholland Pete Holland (@mrpholland) reported

    Hopefully not everyone at @SkyUK customer service is as unhelpful as Charlie who I’ve just had the misfortune to ‘deal’ with

  • Iggipoppop Ian aka Iggi (@Iggipoppop) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I'm not feeling particularly patient! It's just gone twice in the time it's taken to have this delightful exchange! How many occurances is it until I can cancel my contract with you free of charge?

  • jkaur97 Jenn ❤ (@jkaur97) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have raised a complaint & asked for an operations manager to contact me. Earlier today an agent contacted me, was getting no where with him so asked for an Ops manager to contact me(again) Again, an agent contacted me. Told her to put me through to a manager and she cut me off!

  • Rhys75105010 Rhys (@Rhys75105010) reported

    @SkyUK fix your **** internet

  • IslesKate Katie (@IslesKate) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks. Unfortunately I’m still confused. It has the correct name but has my ex husband and old address as the main account holder. Yet the services have obviously just been connected to my current house. Is there anyone who can help me to sort this out please as I can’t? 1/2

  • Xofttam14 Matthew (@Xofttam14) reported

    @Ciel_Logan @SkyHelpTeam 01723 is down. It's an openreach fault. Sky won't be able to help.

  • booshtukka Antony Kennedy (he/him) (@booshtukka) reported from Epping, England

    @lloydi @SkyHelpTeam It’s probably that your HDMI switcher doesn’t support your sky box’s standard. The switchers are normally pretty cheaply made unfortunately. The sky box might be 4K 60htz and the switcher won’t cope. Does this sound plausible?

  • Jagbooks Judith Gardiner #FBPE (@Jagbooks) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Not getting any live TV on Sky at present. Recordings play and box seems to be OK. TV is fine on all other services including terrestrial. Just getting a blue screen on every channel - not even an error message. Yet your service status says no problems in East London?

  • macauleyhughes4 Macauley Hughes (@macauleyhughes4) reported

    @SkyUK broadband services are absolutely tragic. Can't even do my job from home because of how ridiculously slow it is & tried ringing Customer Service only to find its all automated & nobody I can speak too!! Shambles of a company.
