    Hi Sky. How do I order an engineer to fit a broadband boost in my house? I pay for the service but can’t see anyway of ordering it online or on the app. I don’t want to call a number and be on hold for 50 minutes. Thanks @SkyHelpTeam #skybroadband #skyboost

    @SkyHelpTeam it is not even 14 days since I joined Sky and my Q box has to be replaced. Do you think this is acceptable? I look forward to hearing how you intend to compensate me for the inconvenience and poor ‘service’.

    Really trash #skybroadband again. My kids have been complaining this evening as they've been dropped out of xbox games mid-game due to crap wifi. It's not the speed or service we should expect & we still haven't received the booster promised! #poorcustomerservice @SkyHelpTeam

    @SkyHelpTeam can you please tell me why it is so hard for you to send a router out so it arrives before the installers. 3 weeks since we upgraded and bt arrive this morning our router not till this afternoon. Cant do the proper checks. Shocking service for the price we pay.

    @_drane @SkyUK If you use your hotspot try balancing your phone near an open window It might help the phone signal get in if you’ve got coated or treated glass

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam I ditched them years ago. Poor customer service. You need to look elsewhere

  • MentalTheme
    Stef (@MentalTheme) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Step 1: Cancel it. Step 2: Hook a PC up to your TV & never pay to watch anything ever again.

  • craigybaby42
    Puglife69 (@craigybaby42) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Yes but you would also got a new customer offer when you joined sky don't be greedy

  • RChaz6
    RedChaz6 (@RChaz6) reported

    @cxdi55 @skytv @SkyHelpTeam Never ever given a 💩 about existing customers. No loyalty benefits. Their business model appears to be focused on new business. Cancel your contract and take a new one out in your wife's/partner's name getting the cheap rate. Better still, go somewhere else.
