    @SkyUK discussing service. Problems with internet for 3 months. Sky blame Bt. By blame sky . Won’t even come out and look at the system they installed. Won’t even offer discount . I’m paying £120 a month and I can’t even get my business emails @BBCWatchdog

  • pt_seg seg Mason PT (@pt_seg) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyUK our internet has been down for 3 days. We have turned it on & off pressed rest & still nothing. What are you going to do about it. We are paying for a service. What are you going to do.

  • curvychorister Kerry Louise Page (@curvychorister) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyUK terrible service from your complaint team ref 1232855146 just had an email to say it’s been resolved.I don’t think so,far from it. New iphone @AppleSupport delivered faulty and a two week wait to get a new one #dontbelieveinbetter #shouldhavestuckwithEE

  • seancalvert1 Sean Calvert (@seancalvert1) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyHelpTeam The internet keeps dropping out here in Leigh on Sea. Any known issues?

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @TheSunFootball Why don’t @SkySports @skytv just do the right thing and just not collect the money rather than make customers do the chasing. They could then offer up their contact centre to the Government to support their efforts! What a PR coup that would be!

  • mrs_harket BeKind_Charlatan🌱 (@mrs_harket) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @nick_f1979 @SkyHelpTeam My MiL who chops & changes her plan constantly can change hers online. We’ve had sky coming on 21 years, never questioned anything & we can’t cancel. #angry

  • RonMahoney1965 Ron Mahoney (@RonMahoney1965) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyUK 2 hour wait on the phone to cancel down a subscription, but if you want to UPGRADE you can do it online, on the app or on your box. Why don't you make it easier for people out of contract to make changes at this difficult time, appalling customer service

  • Theresalane1965 Theresa Lane (@Theresalane1965) reported from Ramsden Bellhouse, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Thus morning we upgraded to sky q. The 2 mini boxes are not working and your customer service number hangs up if you are not vulnerable. Disgusting service as you are quick enough to take my money.

  • curvychorister Kerry Louise Page (@curvychorister) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Great to see the fantastic service from Sky customer complaints team.. no reply to an email sent by them on the 29/7 asking me to contact them regarding complaint #dontbeliveinbetterservice @SkyUK

  • daz_poz Darren Posnack 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@daz_poz) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyHelpTeam absolutely fed up with Sky now. 3 days constantly trying to pause my sports & it never goes through online. Telling me to try a phone number that doesn’t work. If I get billed the full amount (including more price rises) next month I’ll cancel my whole subscription.

  • LIHT80 Lad In His Thirties (@LIHT80) reported from Wickford, England

    @SkyUK internet that I pay for and my package in general is shit! I am contacting @virginmedia tomorrow putting sky. Shocking. Just everything about

  • DNAPhysio Dan Doherty (@DNAPhysio) reported from Maldon, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I'm an NHS keyworker. I have broadband issues that I cannot address online yet there appears to be no way to speak to anyone - please advise urgently

  • jpsanders71 JonnyS (@jpsanders71) reported from Witham, England

    @SkySports Whatever the true reason I would think a pretty large proportion of the population will see completing the season as only being about money. If they go ahead it may solve a short term cash problem but their reputation will be f*#ked. Cancel the season now!

  • Cover4Caravans Richard Burgess (@Cover4Caravans) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Funny how if you want to remove a package you have to ring @SkyUK and you can’t do it online. That’s creating a barrier for a customer when it could easily be done online.

  • Darrensparky Darren Kerner (@Darrensparky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyUK . Internet and phone line not working properly since installed on 9th December. 5 open reach engineers on 3 separate appointments to find the fault. No communications. Then you insult me by offering me £16 in compensation. This is poor Sky

  • iamemmaparadise Emma Paradise (@iamemmaparadise) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @SkyUK ..... seriously crap service...... I’ve had to reset my router 9 times today and reactive a minibox 12! Sort it out!!! #whatamipayingfor #shitservice #skyinternet #constantconnectivityissues

  • Theresalane1965 Theresa Lane (@Theresalane1965) reported from Ramsden Bellhouse, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I had hoped to have my problem sorted yesterday but no still waiting for a call from sky. New sky q in place but no use 😡 very poor service.

  • gammorreon Gammorreon Kennel (@gammorreon) reported from Althorne, England

    @SkyHelpTeam we moved into our new build in March and have no phone line we have tried contacting sky many times but still no luck. I have tried to cancel our previous subscription and get a new one set up and tried moving our old one over but we are not getting anywhere.

    @SkyUK how do you get skygo to work with Windows 10? Tried everything. Customer service not helpful at all #help

  • paul_elworthy Paul Elworthy (@paul_elworthy) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I was trying to cancel Sky as your engineers came to fix a problem and then made it worse. No automated message just left waiting for two and half hours then told it’s my fault for waiting rather than your poor service. 21 years I’ve been with you and then treated like this.

  • SouljaManc MancSoulja (@SouljaManc) reported

    @AttackingGoalie @liam_lightowler @SkySports He's got brain damage from sucking all those sheep off.

  • stegwyn Dylan Miles (@stegwyn) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam is there a known problem connecting the Sky Q box via ethernet cable to the Sky router? I am a brand new customer, and with flaky internet so far I have tried doing this with ZERO success rate. Not impressed, and am contemplating leaving as in cooling off period

  • cathoflan Catherine Flanagan (@cathoflan) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Satellite not working here in North Dublin. Any problems with it elsewhere?

  • mickhart76 Mick Hart (@mickhart76) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi.. can you help me. Got SkyQ and it takes ages to download and be able to watch anything on catch up. Am I doing something wrong?

  • ellierireland ⚡️ Ellie 🦋 (@ellierireland) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Been waiting on an open reach engineer to get back to me to arrange a new visit after failing to turn up once already. Reported the issue exactly a week ago now

  • ScottTheCyclist Scott Church (@ScottTheCyclist) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam struggling to understand why one of your customer service agents would transfer me to a closed department. #disappointed
