  • MrsLou_R Louise Ross (@MrsLou_R) reported from Sunderland, England

    @SkyHelpTeam The problem is someone called me from sky to upgrade to sky Q for £20 but had issues and told me to call back but I can’t call back can I? Then you can only do it online for £199? So why do it online when I know you can get better deal speaking with someone?

  • philwalton2 philsy (@philwalton2) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkySports That's next June for ***** sake! If this **** is still about were well ******!!

  • GaryAPhilipson Gary Philipson (@GaryAPhilipson) reported from Sedgefield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Can you send an engineer to find out why ( everyday) the main Q box loses signal? Seriously every day! It’s taken 3 hours to get this to reconnect. Surely that’s unacceptable ?

  • TimBellhouse Tim Bellhouse (@TimBellhouse) reported from Dunston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam is there an issue with the mobile area of my account? Trying to activate a sim but just a blank page. Tried 2 browsers and via the app...

  • chazza_TW Chanise'shirley' (@chazza_TW) reported from Chopwell, England

    @SkyHelpTeam is there anyway to actually talk to someone? My grandma was thinking about switching to sky but she’s extremely frustrated because she can’t find who to contact about switching I’ve been all over the internet trying to help but I just keep getting pointed to FAQ.

  • GaryAPhilipson Gary Philipson (@GaryAPhilipson) reported from Sedgefield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We do this on a daily basis! My wife is practically a sky engineer! Self taught. There’s no signal so it says. We rang to get help as all we normally do fails. You then pied us off on the phone for not being high priority

  • Meldrum_10 Craig meldrum (@Meldrum_10) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkySports Newcastle match on Main Event no crowd noise my kids have heard more bad language off me 🙀🙀🤔🤔 than they do sitting in Gallowgate end 🙈🙈

  • jonridley87 Jon (@jonridley87) reported from Hetton-Le-Hole, England

    Looking forward to not seeing a second of Liverpool or Leeds’ celebrations. No doubt the skysports wankfest will be unbearable. 30 years of hurt of Liverpool, **** off man

  • nickngw Nick Whitehead (@nickngw) reported from Newton Aycliffe, England

    @80_zach @IanWright0 @SkySports What’s your problem mate. You wouldn’t have been in favour had this pandemic happened any of the previous 30 years. If you don’t like my responses why comment to me in the first place.

  • leehal Lee Halbert (@leehal) reported from Durham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam A thumbs down for that ‘added’ feature!

  • OohAwful Kirst (@OohAwful) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, I can’t log into my account and can’t get through to the line that it advises me to call. Can you help ?

  • Woodysimon1987 Woody (@Woodysimon1987) reported from Gateshead, England

    @JaseMac1986 @SkySports And this is why they're not arsed about letting their customers down. They're like Mike Ashley, they know they can do what they want and they'll be endorsed by enough paying customers to keep them going. Seriously, £50 a year and I can sort you out...

  • GaryAPhilipson Gary Philipson (@GaryAPhilipson) reported from Sedgefield, England

    Why won’t you fix my sky box @SkyHelpTeam we pay you a fortune a month and because we ain’t in a high risk group you won’t speak to us! Time and time again we lose signal. This isn’t good enough.

  • Tdal1369 Anthony A Dalzell (@Tdal1369) reported from Washington, England

    @SkyHelpTeam please help, I’m having real trouble getting into my account online, it’s telling me my account is closed when obviously it’s not, I need to change my package and need to adjust my payment date

  • the_fatman61 Will Grigg scored yet? (@the_fatman61) reported from Washington, England

    @LisaBinney @SkyHelpTeam The price you pay when you’ve been a loyal customer for 30 years xx

  • tempersmith shaun smith (@tempersmith) reported from Gateshead, England

    Awful won’t last, another master stroke by @SkySports @JeffStelling wasted on that show to good for it time to jump ship before we all go to btsports or bbc1 shocking #gillettesoccersaturday

  • DoolanPd Paul Doolan (@DoolanPd) reported from Durham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Tried to actually talk to someone. Just keep being re routed to a text message. Wish I never got Q in. Was fine before that.

  • wjc_14 Will (@wjc_14) reported from Durham, England

    It’s a regular thing now that @SkyHelpTeam rip me off but I guarantee they’ll never get another penny off me. I’ve been paying full price for @SkySports whilst they’ve been giving it away for free. I don’t think so.

  • wjc_14 Will (@wjc_14) reported from Durham, England

    The new @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam Q update is crap. The remote has been close to going through the tele twice 😡

  • S1mpson Nigel Simpson (@S1mpson) reported from Durham, England

    @BullmanJohn @SkySports @BBCSport Your right they have been poor but Sky are not helping, still better than watching cookery programs as that’s all that seems to be on nowadays

    @SkyHelpTeam Thank you for getting back to me. Think it may be an issue with my phone rather than the line, but will be in touch again if things are not resolved. Thank you.

  • puddy73 Jason Puddephatt (@puddy73) reported

    @VanessaStAlbans My Mum had this problem on the land line and some did get her to sign up for unnecessary direct debits. Since signing up for @SkyUK shield where every caller has to announce unless on a whitelist - the problem has reduce massively.
