  • mancboy1 Chris Wilmore (@mancboy1) reported from Manchester, England

    @SkySports Can you please sort out your broadcast of the game. Sound keeps jumping and the resolution keeps changing! I don't pay for rubbish service.

  • Aaron____TM ً (@Aaron____TM) reported from Manchester, England

    @CHACHIECOCO @NorthmcrAth @SkySportsPL @SkySports Not a foul should be stronger and be dealing with it no problem. That’s exactly how he used to be.

  • Pani_kzm pantea kazemi (@Pani_kzm) reported from Manchester, England

    @SkyUK Your early termination charges are ridiculous!! £120 for cancelling a year contract of £23 per month is just not acceptable! Sky is basically steeling money off people who are going through hard time in life whilst showing absolutely no empathy! Never again!!

  • loismarissa_ lois stuart. (@loismarissa_) reported from Manchester, England

    Why is our sky broadband not working though 😩🙃 @SkyHelpTeam

  • HeidiRoper Heidi J Roper (@HeidiRoper) reported from Standish, England

    @SkyHelpTeam You make it very easy to upgrade your services online but impossible to downgrade without having to call. Your customer service is disgusting. @BBCWatchdog Has anyone else complained about the Sky services. 45 minute call waiting times.

  • REDKEV67 KEVIN DOYLEY (@REDKEV67) reported from Leigh, England

    Very disappointed that while @GNev2 is making salient points some jobs worth producer first thought is let’s distance ourselves. Shocking behaviour and if truth be told part of the bigger problem. Shame on you @SkySports

  • Izhar_Latif #Problem (@Izhar_Latif) reported from Blackburn, England

    Uno @GNev2 is pissed off when when he says live on @SkySports ‘sort your own shit out’! @ManUtd

  • wrxmanpaul Paul (@wrxmanpaul) reported from Salford, England

    @Marlon_MTK @Oleg__74 @SkySports @SkySportsPL @premierleague @stonewalluk So here lies the real issue. For you, homophobia isn’t a problem because for you it’s racism that’s a problem because you’re on the receiving end of that. Try to use that to understand how victims of racism are the same as victims of homophobia.

  • RICKERSRG R I C K E R S (@RICKERSRG) reported from Blackburn, England

    At midnight and the help closes at 11.30pm! So I cant even get it resolved until the morning you horrible *******! I'm going to play hell tomorrow watch! @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam

  • mothball69 Paul MCFC Johnston (@mothball69) reported from Salford, England

    @biffo60 @SkySports Good man, I will go down the same route! 👍

  • hannah_clare21 Hannah Kirrane (@hannah_clare21) reported from Manchester, England

    @SkyHelpTeam There is no update on there since the original issue being announced yesterday morning. Please can you give an indication of how long this will take to fix

  • NiallBurgo_MCFC Burgoo (@NiallBurgo_MCFC) reported from Walkden, England

    Bt and Sky are a joke , sky q doesnt work properly due to connectivity problems , so i upgrade my wifi and still the same problem , joke and a waste of time👎 @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam

  • LittleLydia14 Lydia Titterington (@LittleLydia14) reported from Manchester, England

    @SkyUK why does my sky Q mini box keep loosing connection with the downstairs main box... I’ve been having issues for the last couple of days

  • basnettdavid1 🐶 David 🎯 Bazzy ⚅ Basnett ⚽️ (@basnettdavid1) reported from Salford, England

    @TheClosedFist @QoSBaszler Going on main roster when @wwe leaves 🇬🇧 @SkySports goes to @btsportwwe . Not got #WWENetwork never saw her @WWENXT matches sadly . Should of been on main roster a while ago

  • kingoftheshed Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported from Salford, England

    Still don’t get it, a satellite signal travels to a spot somewhere in space travels through god knows what but the minutes there’s a slight wind and rain in the north west of England it can’t get through that so I can watch the darts for £90 a month. @SkyHelpTeam

  • HangtimeAmy 💫Amy💫 (@HangtimeAmy) reported from Urmston, England

    @SkyUK I haven’t had any phone signal now for over a week, tried your ‘guides’ with no joy. Also tried to contact you on the website and Facebook with no reply. Went to a help desk in the local shopping center to be told to ‘ring a number’when that’s my problem, I have no service

  • MrNickRansom Nick Ransom (@MrNickRansom) reported from Manchester, England

    Well @GNev2 has just spoken incredibly eloquently on racism on Sky to be shut down with ‘that’s your opinion’. @DavidJonesSky clearly doing his job and what he’s paid to do, but an awkward encounter where everyone should be on the same page really. 🤔 #SkySports #TOTCHE

  • RICKERSRG R I C K E R S (@RICKERSRG) reported from Blackburn, England

    Wowww! Internet goes down just as I'm about to stream go to ring Sky (which usually had a department to help 24h) but no I cant do anything till tomorrow now! Great service @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK

  • mothball69 Paul MCFC Johnston (@mothball69) reported from Salford, England

    @murfthegreek @SkySports Nothing at all mate, but unless they are playing Celtic I couldn't give a ****! 👍 😂

  • michelle2570 Michelle #OfficialChesterDay 💔💜💔 (@michelle2570) reported from Walkden, England

    @chrisstyles44 @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK Oh, btw, you know my Sky Digital bill jumped from £75.99 to £89 to £97 !!!!! For the crap that keeps being repeated on all Sky Channels, it's not worth the money! Absolutely NOT!! 😠😠

  • tiz67 Theresa Parkinson (@tiz67) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam But I’m not the bill payer and don’t know all the security info I don’t want to cause more issues this is rubbish

  • of_stinks NicoleStinksOfPoo (@of_stinks) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The lights are not indicating any problems. I'm guessing this is because the internet isn't down for long enough for the lights to change? Because it is only down for seconds at a time but it is very disruptive.

  • MarkSpringett Mark Springett (@MarkSpringett) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It seemed to help initially but this evening, while watching live TV, The One Show, different segments of the show had different lip sync delays. We also had to turn power off again as apps and live TV weren't working at all !!!

  • johnhigham John (@johnhigham) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Tbh Ellie I’m fed up with it all. It’s been an issue for months. I’d rather spend my time looking at another supplier.

  • nlbloomer Nikki Bloomer (@nlbloomer) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Still having the same issue

  • westhamtoms Will / Alvin (@westhamtoms) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam if I wait on the phone much longer to sort out a billing and account query, I’ll be sending sky a bill for my time. I have no faith in a resolution.

  • neilwallace403 Neilwallace403@gmail.com (@neilwallace403) reported

    @ezzeeegooner @O2 @SkyUK I live in the middle of nowhere and Vodafone Wi-Fi calling is excellent at home. I don’t have too many problems with the signal as a lorry driver I’m all over the country and very rarely suffer signal problems

  • Formula_Ward 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Dave Ward 🇺🇦 (@Formula_Ward) reported

    @SkyUK if ever there was a demonstration of a rubbish automated customer service phone system ....sky have it covered. Always over 20 minutes to get through !

  • trinaw73 Trina (@trinaw73) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam why are a number of sky, itv and BBC channels showing no signal. We've done multiple resets, no better. 20 min wait on phone

  • ClaireIvory1 Clare (@ClaireIvory1) reported from Bradford, England

    @SkyUK so fed up with your broadband I pay £70 plus for your fibre optic and it’s terrible!!!! Buffering, saying I’m offline!!! Trust me I will be moving asap.
