  • breenster breenster & 🐶 (@breenster) reported from Wylam, England

    @dbrereton @SkyUK BT... it’s the card in the cabinet which is the issue... Openreach have told me multiple times, no one wants to pay for a new one though they say

  • 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 ?

  • pennas17 carlpennington (@pennas17) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkySports Idiot not even 2m

  • eponymousdrums adam featherstone (@eponymousdrums) reported from Lanchester, England

    @LeePuckrin @SkyBetChamp @EFL @SkySports Least you don’t support Sunderland fella! They’ve been ripped off the most.

  • tracycyprus Tracy Maudsley (@tracycyprus) reported from Birtley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam An approximate 45 minute wait is not acceptable to cancel a part of my package when the customer should be able to cancel with one click online. Am guessing it’s because your call handler has a script to follow to try to persuade us not to drop sports pack (2/2)

  • Peterross83 Rosco (@Peterross83) reported from Sunderland, England

    @SkySports Damn!

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • breenster breenster & 🐶 (@breenster) reported from Wylam, England

    @dbrereton @SkyUK Yes... but (and this is the issue) I cannot get through to anyone because the internet is too unstable & dealing in from a mobile is an indefinite wait

  • wirehype Graeme Gilroy (@wirehype) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam ok so I’ve not had bbc2hd for months, this week my box keeps saying no signal, some channels come back after restarting box others don’t, I’ve reset 15 times in last 5 days which I’m sure you will agree is no on— help please oh and sometimes says card not read !

  • breenster breenster & 🐶 (@breenster) reported from Wylam, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I understand fluctuations, I’ve worked in telecoms for 20+ years, this is a cabinet (card) issue, it’s generating 20+ drop outs a day.... total loss of service, auto re boot etc.... it needs fixing or the transfer reversed without charges

  • RaineMichaela Michaela Raine (@RaineMichaela) reported from Newburn, England

    What is that awful noise in the background of the Everton v liverpool game. @SkySports

  • Doddsy9 Doddsy (@Doddsy9) reported from Stanley, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I really need a WiFi booster the signal strength of my router is so poor I lose connection when I walk 10 steps into my living room

  • paultkelly_ Paul Kelly (@paultkelly_) reported from Walker Gate, England

  • helenolearyx Helen O'Leary (@helenolearyx) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam second day my WiFi has stopped working, right in the middle of a work call again too. Please can you advise of the issue in NE21 area please.

  • breenster breenster & 🐶 (@breenster) reported from Wylam, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Your online diagnostics suggest that there’s a line problem

  • breenster breenster & 🐶 (@breenster) reported from Wylam, England

    @dbrereton @SkyUK Tried that, 3mbps - so unworkable. Even tried external omni antenna with 4g, still shite... it’s an Openreach issue I’m told...

  • 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?

  • 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

  • TemporaryCarpet Jason the Furloughed 🇪🇺 (@TemporaryCarpet) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I think your issues are wider reaching than the Rotherham area, I am in Gateshead and have no Internet and therefore reduced functionality of my Sky Q box.

  • keithduffyuk keith duffy (@keithduffyuk) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam on second sky glass TV and still experiencing stuttering with live TV, 350mb internet and connected via Ethernet cable, really disappointing. No problems with streaming via Prime, Netflix or Disney so issue must be with sky - are you ever going to fix this

  • DazOAFC72 Darryl Cornick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DazOAFC72) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Absolutely Incensed! Beginning of this month I rang Sky to renegotiate my package. The Adviser did so and also offered Sky Cinema F.O.C for 1 month. Advised to ring back before end of month to cancel same. Rang back today & advised I can do but it would majorly me

    @SkySports That’s what happens when you do **** all for 60 years and the a dodgy country comes in and buys the route to the final ..saddo

  • madnutter0102 Colin Mathie (@madnutter0102) reported

    Its a bad day when the Viaplay picture is better than the Skysports one, no clue what's up there.

  • sjnolan8 Steve Nolan (@sjnolan8) reported

    The commentary on @SkySports is so poor!

  • _fantasyED ED (@_fantasyED) reported

    This selfie stick on SkySports League Cup final coverage is awful. #CarabaoCup

  • Richbut Richyoko (@Richbut) reported

    @SkyUK Dump sky at all cost... they are costly.. and pretty ****.. I remember when brands meant u got good quality... total bs now, go with whats cheapest and best for you and your wallet..

  • young_herbs98 Sam Young (@young_herbs98) reported

    @A15Green @SkySports I don’t support either team, but I do get the frustration, things like this ruin the game and VAR, he gets the yellow card out before the scuffle so that’s the first, yeah Emerson overreacted but not the point the push in the face is a second bookable offence!

  • cherylhoughton5 Cheryl Houghton (@cherylhoughton5) reported from Widnes, England

    Why is it when you turn sky off at the wall your broadband never comes back on @SkyHelpTeam
