    @MrFaz1 @OwenMcDaid5 @SkySports That, to be fair, is bollocks. We were on a great run of form just before lockdown. If anything it came at a bad time and ****** our momentum.

  • JonathanWood Jonathan Wood (@JonathanWood) reported from Bury, England

    @maffers1882 @SkySports I’ll never pay for it.

  • JustLookin07 Bev De Friend (@JustLookin07) reported from Sale, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m so angry with you I want to cancel my contract - how do I actually speak to someone?? You have very cleverly avoided displaying any contact numbers on your website. I am currently unable to do my work snd I am a key worker .

  • Slave01 Michael Ogden (@Slave01) reported from Salford, England

    @SkyHelpTeam is there an issue with live tv?

  • HazukiSensei Danny (@HazukiSensei) reported from Manchester, England

    Is there a cartoon network package for @SkyUK? Like... just cartoon network?

  • Rob3rtsDanny Danny Roberts (@Rob3rtsDanny) reported from Rochdale, England

    Anyone else having issues with Sky Broadband? Mine has just gone off and the Internet light isn't coming back on? @SkyHelpTeam

  • Bolton1251 Michael Clarkson (@Bolton1251) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi. Been having probs with new HDR Q box. Regular sound pauses watching recordings on Q, pixelated on mini. Updated software and reset hard drive but still same issues. Tried getting through to someone on phone but automated system sending me round in circles.

  • JustLookin07 Bev De Friend (@JustLookin07) reported from Sale, England

    @SkyHelpTeam .....so secretive! Exactly the reason I shall cancel.

  • JustLookin07 Bev De Friend (@JustLookin07) reported from Sale, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It would be really helpful if you could just tell me - I’m actually trying to do my job here and so far I’ve wasted an hour because of your shoddy service

  • MattWellock 𝙆𝙞𝙩𝙆𝙖𝙩 (@MattWellock) reported from Manchester, England

    Can’t wait to move over to @SkyUK in a couple of weeks, @virginmedia is the absolute worse now, internet used to be brilliant but know goes off and can’t pick up in some rooms anymore, had about 3 new hubs too, it’s just terrible! Don’t let me down Sky.

  • Hampson84Phil Phil (@Hampson84Phil) reported from Stockport, England

    @SkySports @btsportfootball think both company’s now really have to look at who they have when they have these ex players commentating for the teams they played for, it’s horrendous how biased they are and never give a fair view on decisions when the match is on

  • RJ_Hardman Rob Hardman (@RJ_Hardman) reported from Bolton, England

    @_DC72 @SkyHelpTeam Had the same problem. Managed to get through to talk to someone on 0333 759 0627 to downgrade TV package

  • leeamitch Lee Mitchell (@leeamitch) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Yeah I know that now. Left Vodafone for similar new customer/ existing customer divide. Once you’ve got them forget about them eh! Phone, 2xmobile, tv and broadband with you guys......for now.

  • johnbradford93 John-Paul Bradford (@johnbradford93) reported from Salford, England

    @SkyHelpTeam This is getting beyond a joke now!! Waiting on the phone for half an hour and still waiting to talk to the 5th person of the day. Trying to resolve an issue I have had since December and already spoke to 4 people and had an engineer come out who had to stand outside!

  • dtackley Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    @SkyHelpTeam This is exactly the problem. The test shows connection between hub and exchange is fine but even a single device directly wired to the hub shows poor performance. This suggests the problem is further upstream than our connection to the exchange but I can't get anyone to check.

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • eugene8829 Matthew brady (@eugene8829) reported from Stockport, England

    @rhys2k1 @SkySports Never understood that stat totally unless

  • leeamitch Lee Mitchell (@leeamitch) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Yes I know otherwise I would of taken it. My point is why £10 more as an existing customer if I want 50gb?

  • leeamitch Lee Mitchell (@leeamitch) reported from Manchester, England

    Hey @SkyUK Moved to sky mobile a couple of weeks ago and at the time I could only get a 30gb price plan as that was the maximum you did. Now I find your offering new customer 50gb for the same money yet if I want it it’s going to be an extra £10 a month!!

  • Bolton1251 Michael Clarkson (@Bolton1251) reported from Bolton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi thanks for the reply. I've been on the website and tried all the suggestions but the problem persists. I tried ringing but was told I'd be sent a text with a link to the website.

    @SkyHelpTeam Your signal is awful

  • moores86 stephen moore (@moores86) reported

    @BBCSport The amount of TV channel providers is... Btsport, SkySports, amazon, Premier sports.,that's obviously for the people that don't have a chipped firestick. Then a season ticket if you support a team.
