  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi Louise. I asked if complaints were a uk based call centre as sometimes language barriers result in misunderstanding me. I've submitted an online complaint which I really didn't want to do but I keep getting promised things which don't happen.

  • MW24577 Martin (@MW24577) reported from Darlington, England

    @pete_88_cfc @SkySports Mount was poor mate. If Sterling wasn’t near the 11 England wouldnt have won a game yet.😳 Sterling a 6 is spot on.

  • AnthonyPutson Anthony N.Putson (@AnthonyPutson) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    @SkySports can you fix the no vid issue on the app please. No live channels available.

  • mikecharlston Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @SkyHelpTeam That it would still be affected by the trees. Currently the line of sight in its current location hits the very centre / bulk of the tree. The location I suggested I think at worst would clip some lower branches. I think if mounted low enough it would not hit the tree at all.

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I'm trying to get discovery plus on the offer but no matter what I do I cannot get past this stupid screen. Details are correct. Total joke.

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SkyHelpTeam so annoyed that on signing up for a new contract through you calling me I've been downgraded to basic netflix. That wasn't explained and I refuse to pay for HD to keep what I had. I'm going to cancel entirely in the cooling off period.

  • MW24577 Martin (@MW24577) reported from Darlington, England

    @TruthfulUtdFan @SkySports Nah Foden far worse been poor in both games tbf. Disappointing.

  • FraserFixit Dave Fraser (@FraserFixit) reported from Darlington, England

    @SkySportsF1 the workday advert on SkyGo is causing audio sync issues. The advert plays when you put the channel on but the program starts. When the ad finishes the audio from the program starts late. Please remove the ad/fix the app. This is horrible to watch! @skytv @SkySports

  • lister2k11 Bradley (@lister2k11) reported from Darlington, England

    Account getting locked due to copyright .. **** off @SkySports

  • the_real_ivo David Ivo Iveson (@the_real_ivo) reported from Darlington, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’ve had an email regarding removing contractual linkage, does this mean I can cancel Sky at any time?

  • deano_croft dean croft (@deano_croft) reported from Ingleby Barwick, England

    Hi @SkyHelpTeam I get an error message ‘please insert your viewing card with the chip facing up’. The card is in and I have taken it out and put it back in and turned it off and on at the plug as advised - please help

  • BaldTiredGrumpy Donone (@BaldTiredGrumpy) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hi I'm trying to contact the help team. I've got sky q and am trying to activate discovery +. I have an old account which isn't active and think this account is stopping me activating discovery. Can someone contact me please?

  • Rich_golffit Richard McCann (@Rich_golffit) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @Alex75576609 @SkySports And if you read the initial tweet.. I asked if the linesman flagged. If he didn’t at the pace that play breaks it’s not unreasonable for the referee to miss any incident.

  • mikecharlston Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We’ve had a call today claiming to be needing to check our broadband for issues we’ve had and they had permission from sky head office. The callers English was very poor & the background was noisy. Does this sound like something which is real or a scam?

  • AlisonBLowndes Alison B. Lowndes ✿ (@AlisonBLowndes) reported from Newsham, England

    Hey @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK internet connection down. How long??

  • deano_croft dean croft (@deano_croft) reported from Ingleby Barwick, England

    Hi @SkyHelpTeam - I get an error message ‘please insert your viewing card with the chip facing up’ on Sky Q box. The card is in and I have taken it out and put it back in, and turned it off and on at the plug as advised - please help, TIA

  • mikecharlston Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks. I thought as much & did hang up as I had a meeting to log onto anyway. Is there any way to block such calls?

  • Loulameg Louise Donaldson (@Loulameg) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    Remember when @SkySports transfer deadline day was exciting and you loved seeing all the yelllow on the day. Now it seems the yellow appears & the clock on the screen counts down with 15 days still to go. Talk about overkill. Wtf is that all about

  • Rich_golffit Richard McCann (@Rich_golffit) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @Alex75576609 @SkySports Again you are using hindsight as an argument. On the field the safety of the players is paramount. Any incident with a suggestion of a head injury, should result in play being stopped. Player culture remains secondary to safety.

  • NLyonette nick lyonette (@NLyonette) reported from Darlington, England

    @SkyHelpTeam could I have some help please

  • Wee_Peachy 🍑 (@Wee_Peachy) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam We follow the steps online everytime. It just drops out regularly for no reason and we're not the only one. At the same time other customers on twitter are saying its dropped out. Its a widespread issue so those connection and speed checks do nothing once its running again.

  • AlexandrRusMan #People #Help #Me! 🙏 (@AlexandrRusMan) reported

    @MarkWright_ @SkySports @MarkWright_ Excuse me in advance. But I don't know who else to turn to for help. Please help me! I am in complete despair, clinging to every possible thread that can lead to someone who will help me! (I am not a BOT, I write all my comments myself!)

  • EN_Bull Ethan Norfolk (@EN_Bull) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam The update in my messages said that you would update me with another message on the 20th September…… I’m not even surprised anymore that you’ve failed to update me. Absolutely terrible service.

  • elementalsam Samantha Collins (@elementalsam) reported

    @SkyUK why is it after being a customer for 13 years I can no longer speak to a member of staff and everything has to be done online!!

  • andy__parker Andy Parker (@andy__parker) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam No, I'm not paying to make a call from my mobile for your useless customer service to tell me they don't have a clue what's going on and blame openreach for lack of updates like they did when I called last week

  • Short_Tempa Neutral Messiah (@Short_Tempa) reported

    @SkySports What an excuse. It's losing strength because of morons like him who have never genuinely supported it.

  • andy__parker Andy Parker (@andy__parker) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Your teams are doing nothing about this, openreach is doing the repair not you and they are saying they are providing suppliers with updates, poor communication and high bills is part of the reason we have just spoken to another supplier about moving when our contract runs out

  • BFrench00 Billy French (@BFrench00) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Could I not pay an upfront cost to bring the monthly costs down?

  • elementalsam Samantha Collins (@elementalsam) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m been trying for 30 min to speak to someone on telephone but it keeps cutting me off and telling me to go online!! I find this frustrating after being a customer for over 13 years and I can’t speak to someone when I need too!!! #nocustomerservice

  • chapmanamanda11 mandy Chapman (@chapmanamanda11) reported

    @SkyUK you are the worst company I have ever dealt with for money grabbing... £30 admin fees to apply offers and Netflix when I'm renewing my contract with you...you class me as a vip diamond customer loyalty means nothing to you... Disgusting
