  • 23HPork Harry (@23HPork) reported from Atherton, England

    @SkySportsPL @SkySports Why have you cut out the shocking decision by Mike Dean just seconds beforehand??? Disgraceful.

  • mcfcman66 Lee T (@mcfcman66) reported from Rochdale, England

    When @SkySports apologise for bad language from fans/players etc, who are they apologising too? Does anybody know anybody who is offended. It’s bonkers. I’m more offended by the commentator and co-comms.....

  • 01SixOne Todd Cunliffe (@01SixOne) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It wasn’t the case though was it he wasn’t dealing with anything else he simply was either being rude or got pre occupied elsewhere. As the advisor I spoke to on the phone was honest enough to tell me. His words were there was no reason to leave me on hold for that amount of time

  • lisarussell84 Lisa Russell (@lisarussell84) reported from Coppull, England

    @AndreSavelio Very professional of you for posting this on social media before an investigation! The details should not have been made public - not by you or #SkySports stating a name! Well done never mind the 10 minutes it actually took you to report it! #Professional #RugbyLeague

  • stevello57 𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠𝟝𝟟 (@stevello57) reported from Manchester, England

    And right on cue @SkyUK internet goes off again I'm sure they think the country goes to bed at 1:30 am....And yes, I have gone through the help section. Time for a change I think.

  • AndyMc147 Andy McNabb (@AndyMc147) reported from Leigh, England

    @SkySports what is going on with signal for football tonight, not seen anything but blurred screen for 10minutes

  • AdrianHalliwell Adrian Halliwell (@AdrianHalliwell) reported from Urmston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam any updates regarding the outage in M41. Appears to have been off most of the day with little or no updates . You say ring but that's a bit hard when the landlines is also down ????

  • shellsmith81 Shell💖 (@shellsmith81) reported from Manchester, England

    Getting a little p***ed off with @SkyHelpTeam @skytv broadband paying for a service that seems to be off more than its on at the min... #notgoodenough

  • 01SixOne Todd Cunliffe (@01SixOne) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Query has been dealt with within five minutes of answering call by your second advisor. Your first advisor may need a little help with customer service rather than leaving people on hold for 40 minutes for a simple request that one of your employees dealt with efficiently

  • ad_roberts Adam Roberts (@ad_roberts) reported from Sale, England

    Hi @SkySports can you explain why I can’t watch the Liverpool match tonight, despite paying for your premier league channel? Putting it on a different channel that loyal customers like me can’t access is very poor! @SkyHelpTeam

  • craigmcfc1981 craig (@craigmcfc1981) reported from Manchester, England

    Why have sky got to compare everything utd do to us??? Never heard them say it the other way round get out ov there arse @SkySports

  • stockportjr John Campbell (@stockportjr) reported from Urmston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Thanks for this update. Can you update further via a widescale tweet as I'm asking on behalf of my elderley relative. I am not a SKY customer, do not have a SKY username or password, nor need one?

  • TanvirHamid1982 Tanvir Hamid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇩🇬🇧🇪🇺🔴⚪️⚫️🐝 (@TanvirHamid1982) reported from Manchester, England

    Call me stupid but how do users ‘lift’ video clips from other users? For example, if I wanted to show a clip from @SkyNews @BBCNews @SkySports etc, rather than share or quote from that users profile/handle, how can I show it from mine? Sensible answers please.

  • KtyB84 Kt Barton 🐝 (@KtyB84) reported from Wigan, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hey, all my apps are crashing when trying to load and watch through my Sky Q box. Is there a fix for this? Apps inc Netflix, Prime and YouTube! Thank you!

    @SkyHelpTeam @MiserableMackem No. Its still down. Can you please give us all an update?

  • Carla25621284 Carla (@Carla25621284) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam So I either lose a days pay to avoid your fee or pay £15 on my day off to fix the problem sky have created?

  • AndyMetcalfe19 Andy Metcalfe (@AndyMetcalfe19) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam afternoon, my wifi is still down in Washington. Is there an ETA for it being fixed? Cheers,

  • lilibet1987 Liz (@lilibet1987) reported

    @strudledoodle @SkyHelpTeam Although I’ve read other peoples comments about this and they have told them that they won’t compensate for data used because of the outage 😱

  • Carla25621284 Carla (@Carla25621284) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I mean for me having to take a day of work to avoid skys stupid fee for call outs

  • Bewson Bewson (@Bewson) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I have yes, appears to be an area wide issue in Washington Tyne and Wear. So hoping this will be fixed before next Tuesday? If not I really will need to bring the appt forward

  • lilibet1987 Liz (@lilibet1987) reported

    @NevaehWax @SkyHelpTeam Surely if the internet is down in a whole county, or several, every available engineer should be on it, as I’m assuming the last thing sky wants is to have to start paying out compensation or getting complaints. Surely there must be a rough ETA on it being fixed.

  • gillg29 Gill 🐶 #NHSPay15 💙 #FBPE 🐾⚽️ (@gillg29) reported

    @Beamishphotos @SkyHelpTeam May well be. We’re Usworth and still have no Sky phone or internet. Been down since about 10 pm yesterday.

    @DropkickMurphy7 @SkyHelpTeam I’m ne37 and mine is still down too

  • marty_lawrance marty lawrance (@marty_lawrance) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I take it in these circumstances there's no problem rolling my data and using my phone as a hotspot?
