    @SkyHelpTeam the Sky Q is not syncing with the virgin Internet. All ok before, is there an issue with your boxes and Virgin Internet? Mobiles working on wi fi just fine. Thanks

  • meljthom Melanie Thom (@meljthom) reported from Accrington, England

    @SkyHelpTeam All entered correctly. Strange as it has all worked OK since Feb and no changes have to be made to the passwords. If it hasn't reset over night I will give the help team a call. Thanks

  • CallumJTipper CJT (@CallumJTipper) reported from Salford, England

    @StephenWarnock3 you really are a **** pundit and a **** former footballer, why don't you actually do research and unbiased reporting, @SkySports needs to sack this guy and get someone who actually knows what he is talking about

  • getmeapie David Mason (@getmeapie) reported from Wigan, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hi, my internet is down in Bolton BL2. Is it a problem in the area or an issue with my router?

  • ryanmsharkeyyy Ryan (@ryanmsharkeyyy) reported from Bury, England

  • srazakazi Samah 🐝 (@srazakazi) reported from Preston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hi I’ve just had a call from 01552362741 claiming it was from the Sky Support team. I’ve not been contacted about this before so I’m confused why he was ringing about my internet speed. I asked him to confirm my postcode and he dropped the call. Was this call legit?

    @SkyHelpTeam Sky broadband working, not connected to the internet. Tried all troubleshooters on sky page, still not working, can you advise?

  • MatterfaceJaime Jaime Matterface (@MatterfaceJaime) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam It is now an hours wait to n the phone line and other people locally are being told that there have been no other reports of issues locally. This is simply untrue.

  • MatterfaceJaime Jaime Matterface (@MatterfaceJaime) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hey sky help, can you please advise what the issue is in Gillingham Dorset sp8, people calling your helpline being told there’s no reported issues but local social media is ablaze with people with issues today.

  • ChelseaSpencer SpencerDolman (@ChelseaSpencer) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Well I would just like to add after spending another 2 hours on the phone and being promised the engineer will come now on Monday and be made aware of my issues and complaints ,I’ve just again received another cancellation text from the engineer I will be leaving before I got it

  • MatterfaceJaime Jaime Matterface (@MatterfaceJaime) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi there, broadband has been out since late morning. Called your helpline & been advised that there is no line issue, however speaking to many locals today all on sky having the same issue. People are still being told by helpline that there are no reported issues in the area

  • brookseybabe C’helle leigh-anne #justiceforjohnnydepp (@brookseybabe) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I already have they moved a wire from one room to the next the problem has still exsists like I said we’ve been experiencing this for almost two years now.

  • Marmite2 s (@Marmite2) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam No. I’ve called help to explain the situation and been told it would be sorted but then get email to cancel

  • Ash_Hirani Ash Hirani (@Ash_Hirani) reported

    @Bharat_LearnAca Sod that! I'll shred the mobile phone sim and recontract with @SkyUK. I've been with them as a TV customer for 20 years but may look at BT for phone and broadband. I'll keep an eye on the bank account and contest any direct debit if Virgin try it on.

  • MatterfaceJaime Jaime Matterface (@MatterfaceJaime) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam We have been told that a new router would be sent out. With the number of other issues locally that have all started today late morning, all on sky ( other networks not affected ) it can only be a sky issue surely ?
