    Mrs has gone out for the evening so boxing has been purchased. Khan vs Brook will come down to whichever one ages least in the ring. Hoping that neither gets injured. #KhanBrook #boxing #SkySports

  • aaron_182 Aaron Addison (@aaron_182) reported from Witham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam As per my previous tweets...that’s not that I asked. I’m asking can you get an actual date to fix this as it’s impacting a key workers job.

    So first @SkyUK on demand service is f*ucked and now @NetflixUK is down too. Am I actually going to have to talk to my wife????

  • aaron_182 Aaron Addison (@aaron_182) reported from Witham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam My wife needs it for her work, she needs to be able to log in on her system as she works as a community nurse for NHS, you clearly cannot provide the service you say, how do I go about cancelling the contract? When it comes to paying the next bill I’ll wait a week?

  • mikemackay Mike Mackay (@mikemackay) reported from Witham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Also today had a LOT of calls today claiming to be “Sky Technical Dept” saying our internet is insecure and wanting to “help us fix it”. Can provide the number they used if required.

  • JessicaGarty Jess Garty (@JessicaGarty) reported from Maldon, England

    @SkyUK please can someone help - every single time I call the operator cuts me off and tells me to go to sky online. I cannot resolve this online I need to speak with someone.

  • FACoachdazza Darren Skingle FA Licensed Coach (@FACoachdazza) reported from Chelmsford, England

    Sunday mornings without #goalsonsunday with @chris_kammy and Co on @SkySports just aren’t the same , it’s was the best footy highlight show on TV , @BBCMOTD is such a poor show and biased to the Max ..... is the producer a Spurs fan ? How can you run out of time when analysing 🤦🏼

    @SkyHelpTeam Complete loss of TV signal in the CM8 area. Any known issues??

  • LUFC_Spying Simon K (@LUFC_Spying) reported from Witham, England

    So once again my @SkyUK box fails to pick up a signal. Bet they don’t fail to pick up my DD. Bloody pile of shite @SkyHelpTeam

  • JosephC79946324 Joseph Clarke (@JosephC79946324) reported from Silver End, England

    @SkyHelpTeam why am sitting here with my sky multi room dropping out all the time??? Been going on for months.... and a poor broadband signal....

  • mikemackay Mike Mackay (@mikemackay) reported from Witham, England

    @jeg1972 @SkyHelpTeam Both! Constantly slow (~18% of my speeds prior to Dec 23rd) and daily multiple disconnects.

  • mikemackay Mike Mackay (@mikemackay) reported from Witham, England

    @steevedrew @SkyHelpTeam It sure does 😔 This is the time I’m grateful I don’t work in CS on Twitter etc. Seeing some of the replies they’re getting are terrible.

  • KiranGosu Kiran Gosu (@KiranGosu) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @SkyUK hi, Good Morning. I need some help - I’m moving home and I need Sky broadband at the new place. I’m not a Sky customer currently. I used to be one many years back. When I try registering the portal says I’m already a customer and I’m promoted for Sky I’d which I don’t have

  • andyjameskemp Andy Kemp (@andyjameskemp) reported from Colne Engaine, England

    These @SkySports commentators are absolutely dire. Some of the **** they’re coming out with in the spurs v west ham game. Harrison “theatrically throws himself to the floor”? clueless

  • mikemackay Mike Mackay (@mikemackay) reported from Witham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Are you able to tell of any broadband/fibre outages in CM8 2? No service here anymore.

  • ShenronNDL ✪ ℕ ✪ (@ShenronNDL) reported

    @ishowspeedsui You already apologized for that ****,Skysports just wanted to make some quick views while you was in the UK and being hypocrites by banning you right after u was about to leave,you don't need them and owe them nothing.

  • bluebirds19001 ccfc front row (@bluebirds19001) reported

    @ishowspeedsui @SkySports @SkyFootball you literally employ a bloke who’s spat at a child but cancel a 17 year old for something he said when he was 16

  • evoccfc Evo (@evoccfc) reported

    @evo941989 @SkyHelpTeam It’s awful , they fail to say it doesn’t actually record, for example right on bbc1 couldn’t watch it even though added it to playlist as it wasn’t available on iplayer

  • themeparkrm ThemeParkRM (@themeparkrm) reported

    . @SkyHelpTeam this is getting beyond a joke, my replacement Sky Stream Remote has now stopped working, meaning I can't even watch Sky due to the way the new system works! Makes it worse that it's an issue they are aware of due to faulty batch's
