  • jackdale21 Jack (@jackdale21) reported from Leyland, England

    Aston Villa v West Ham, absolutely dreadful game to show on @SkySports kept drifting off to sleep😴 almost as bad as their “super Sunday’s” with games like Leicester v Newcastle, absolute garbage! Might have to cancel the sports package!

  • andymurray8472 Andy Murray (@andymurray8472) reported from Burnley, England

    @SkyUK your broadband service is absolutely shocking!!! 5 times I've had to reconect to wifi tonight since i got home from work and it's gone off again

  • Simonprice81 Simon Price (@Simonprice81) reported from Preston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Service still not available in Preston. Not able to get online. Problems started on 11/10/19 and across the weekend.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    So, at the end of my @virginmedia contract, question is, stick or twist, cost is going up and I do wonder what @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam could offer as a returning customer, we shall see!

  • phanleyphotos Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

  • mekonmcfc MikeB (@mekonmcfc) reported from Urmston, England

    For Christ’s sake stop apologizing for a bit of bad language @SkySports we’ve all heard it before #WALCRO

  • RuthiePollock Ruth Alice Pollock (@RuthiePollock) reported from Manchester, England

    @SkyHelpTeam please advise what the issues are with Sky email and when you expect it to be operating

  • MarcusBuckner12 BoomBoom🥊 (@MarcusBuckner12) reported from Upholland, England

    @SuperLeague @SkySports hang your head in shame for not showing @Saints1890 lift the Grand Final trophy 🏆

  • jazzyjjo89 Jackie (@jazzyjjo89) reported from St Helens, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Good morning, My sky box has suddenly disconnected from my broadband and when I try to connect it is saying network not found, all other devices are connected so it isn’t my broadband. Thanks in advance.

  • suziplumbo susan booth (@suziplumbo) reported from Manchester, England

    @GNev2 @SkySports No sorry had a bad enough day as it is

  • SEANROBBO75 LifeLongMockneyRed (@SEANROBBO75) reported from Urmston, England

    @A_MoffatBITW @SkySportsPL @SkySports No I'm saying it how it is, read back. Look at the league table, lack of goals, results, lack of depth in squad, some of the recruitment - it's been poor. The issues go a lot deeper than who the manager is. You'd be better supporting the team than worrying about narratives

  • steven_rothwell steven rothwell (@steven_rothwell) reported from Hindley, England

    @SkySports Great player but shit pundit and a miserable arse

  • kes1959 Brian Stacey (@kes1959) reported from Euxton, England

    This is an awful game of football with two very poor teams #mnf #SkySports #MANARS #carra23

  • jackdale21 Jack (@jackdale21) reported from Leyland, England

    Aston Villa v West Ham, absolutely dreadful game to show on @SkySports kept drifting off to sleep😴 also as bad as their “super Sunday’s” with games like Leicester v Newcastle, absolute garbage! Might have to cancel the sports package!

  • SEANROBBO75 LifeLongMockneyRed (@SEANROBBO75) reported from Urmston, England

    @A_MoffatBITW @SkySportsPL @SkySports Throwing money at a problem will only get you so far. The fact is, the players we currently have are simply not good enough at this level and other teams are only getting stronger.

  • Hop3y Adam Hope 🏏 (@Hop3y) reported from Burnley, England

    @claretmad88 @SkySports Poor decision with Gower. Gotham left.

  • TerryBpne Terry Brooks (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MrDinnage @pnefc @patrick5bauer @SkySports Cost me £20 in admin fees to cancel. Could have come down Sunday but £100 for a hotel and kids missing their Sunday football games made me choose to cancel. Still not been to Charlton, one of the few grounds I have to tick off!

  • Sy_Taylor Simon Taylor⚽ (@Sy_Taylor) reported from Hindley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hi I got a text from sky saying my broadband was going live yesterday but it’s still not working.

  • sarahsuttonx sarah (@sarahsuttonx) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @SkyUK No broadband, wifi, tv, NOTHING for the past hour. I hope you're going to reimburse everyone considering the extortionate amount we're paying per month for absolute shit!

  • jackdale21 Jack (@jackdale21) reported from Leyland, England

    ston Villa v West Ham, absolutely dreadful game to show on @SkySports kept drifting off to sleep😴 almost as bad as their “super Sunday’s” with games like Leicester v Newcastle, absolute garbage! Might have to cancel the sports package!

  • DavidDjon David Jones (@DavidDjon) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam This has to be a joke. What exactly do then do, because Sky's model is to force customers to provide their own help (and charge them for it)?

  • NigelTwitcher TwitcherNigel (@NigelTwitcher) reported

    @8gzd8k76nM @mnF2mNEVoices @SkyHelpTeam Poor you.. from the state of you

  • Chelseyc90x Chelsea (@Chelseyc90x) reported

    @hannahcopues @SkyHelpTeam I’m in a similar situation, don’t know how they can justify it! ‘We try to keep our price increases down’ laughable. Haven’t even made my first payment of my new agreed deal yet and they’ve increased it by a ridiculous amount. I’d have cancelled, as intended, if I was made aware

  • waspins Matt Hoskins (@waspins) reported

    @SkyUK If it's also available to existing customers, why do I as an existing customer not have access to this lower price. I pay £3.50 a month more than this for the same service until next month when I'll be paying £7.50 a month more than this offer.

  • leemitton Lee Mitton (@leemitton) reported

    Is there an issue with the Sky VIP app? Doesn’t load, I’ve removed and reinstalled the app and still nothing. Can no longer access rewards as a result. #skyvip @SkyHelpTeam

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam My bill went from £49 to £67 and your support claims that’s only a 5% increase, don’t give a sheet where you are, when you fleece loyal customers

  • reddevilste69 Reddevilste69 (@reddevilste69) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi can u send a DM with a link for complaints or an email address the link is crap and doesn't let you complain easy frustrating and I'm disabled so I find it hard to be peein about clicking around just help please

  • gra_ross1985 Graham (@gra_ross1985) reported

    Is Sky Broadband down in Aberdeen? I can’t seem to get connected at all. @SkyHelpTeam

  • tasha267 Tasha alfonso (@tasha267) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @renbud99 Mine is the same - it won’t let me login & keeps saying invalid postcode

  • mj_greenaway Mark Greenaway (@mj_greenaway) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam My Sky account is too expensive now, especially in the current climate. Can you please give me a contact number who I can contact to cancel.
