  • stormscrazydave David Martin (@stormscrazydave) reported from St Helens, England

    @SkySports That's more of a class issue than race... Few state schooled players compared to public school

  • theoofoof 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Ruth 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 (@theoofoof) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It really is unacceptable that the wind causes my satellite signal to disappear! Especially given the amount you charge!

  • alexsmart1994 Alex smart (@alexsmart1994) reported from Horwich, England

    @SkyHelpTeam have the worst customer service I have ever spoken to, the staff is so rude and talk to you like your dirt on the bottom of your shoe, wouldn’t recommend anyone to sign up and be a sky customer, horrible attitude, wouldn’t even recommend joe fritzel to them 👌💦

  • rblackjnr rblackjnr (@rblackjnr) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @SamPenno_MUFC @Bunney_91 @SkySports @ManUtd Yes, factually correct - but it is still in very poor taste - as it’s not a new phenomenon it’s been around since Championship Manager. Bad timing especially when @SI_games gave nearly a month of free play to all at the start of this pandemic... #MUFC it’s us the fans that suffer

  • kjshenton Kris & Janet Shenton (@kjshenton) reported from Urmston, England

    absolutely shocking customer service from @SkyUK. My elderly parents haven’t had sky tv since moving on 28.2.20 but have been charged full price, being fobbed off all the time 👎👎👎

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    @Darth_Vivid @virginmedia @bt_uk @TalkTalk @SkyUK It would be nice to get 100mb once. Never even had half of what we pay for. Wonder what @Offcom make of that...

  • rblackjnr rblackjnr (@rblackjnr) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @SkySports @ManUtd this is so poor! You have done some good stuff during this Covid crisis.. but this is so petty and unnecessary! #MUFC #embarrassing please see sense!

  • angelw76 angela whitehead (@angelw76) reported from Manchester, England

  • annelien_bass Annelien Bass (@annelien_bass) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam No, I didn’t do the order. I was distraught as I was forced to speak to someone - who couldn’t give an explanation - rather than updated via my account. And as I’m losing out on £135 in vouchers and cashback, on top of the problems and delays I have faced, I won’t be joining Sky.

  • Afton123 Afton Leverton (@Afton123) reported from Beeston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hi, I returned my broadband to you on the 7th December. I’ve had a text about returning it and the charge. I have proof of postage. Can someone help please

  • KAB_78 Karen B (@KAB_78) reported

    @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam @WeAreOpenreach Day 14: no internet. Issue with fibre on street. Needs an engineer who is off sick. No idea when they will be back. So only one engineer in the south east who can handle the job? Unacceptable. Home alone with two kids for Xmas here. 1/2

  • th0masr1chards Tom (@th0masr1chards) reported from Beverley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’ve tried everything online and used a virtual assistant but that was next to useless. This is the 2nd time I’ve had trouble with sky in the last month. £52 a month not to be able to use the full service

  • lynsey274 Lynsey C (@lynsey274) reported

    @OpenreachHelp hello - have you all gone home early for Xmas ??? !!! no response whatsoever to two messages from me - DREADFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! thank god @skyhelpteam have been more able to provide some answers

  • Eastwood1A1 ALAN EASTWOOD OBE. (@Eastwood1A1) reported

    @skysportscricket @SkySports @SkySports IF Your UK studio host has a physical problem I apologise. If not whilst his guests sit up he slouches cross legged all the time. He needs a shake.

  • Budgejb Mr Beeeeeeeee (@Budgejb) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam why has Sky's service to customers gone downhill rapidly. Cant speak to anyone about the broadband outage for the last three days as you cut the call off. Cant get a reply on here, and no updates as to why its down or when it will be back up.

  • IFK27 IanK (@IFK27) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam is there a problem with some channels in GTR Manchester region? All Sky branded channels and Channel 4 down due to “no signal” but BBC, MTV, Discovery fine?

  • djlwolves Dave Lewis (@djlwolves) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam They’ve advised me that they can’t locate my box and have kept me on hold for 1-1.5 hrs each call then asked me to pay again 🤬 if that was my 20 year customer I’d be giving them free sky for a year not asking them to pay again!

  • AccyGaz AccyGaz ⚽️🏏 (@AccyGaz) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hi guys, as an existing customer is it possible to add sky cinema on to my TV package for just one month? Or do I have to sign up to an 18 month contract?
