@breezymate @SkyUK When I realised our broadband speed from Sky was below the minimum guaranteed, I complained. Their tech expert agreed & said on 27 08 20 she'd send us a broadband booster in recognition of poor service. The booster never arrived. Sky now deny ever promising to send us a booster!

@100Climbs @ibiza74pete1 Brilliant! Snag is, though I threaten to do this, the kids know I need to keep it on in order to run my business! Does anyone know if it's possible to divide the wifi signal so I can keep one channel on (password protected) but switch off the other? I use Sky. @SkyHelpTeam

Helped my nan sort her @SkyUK bill today. really helpful service happy with the outcome... But she's in her 70s and has been allowed to have her bills increase to between 130-160 per month for over 2 years... Surely Safeguarding volunerable customers should stop that happening!?

@lairy72 @SkyUK If they make any admissions of poor service/promise to do anything for you (e.g. send a router/booster) ensure you get them to email you written confirmation whilst you are still on the phone with them, or they'll deny it was ever said & won't be able to locate recording of call!

@SkyHelpTeam hi, I’m not happy that I’ve had numerous conversations with your team about returning my router and despite them confirming you received it back you’re now charging me. Please help.

Hey @SkyHelpTeam any chance you can stop slowing down my broadband? I know what the trick it, to make me upgrade to a 'faster service'. What I'll do instead is find a better provider.

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 Hello, I just want to register a problem with my Sky Q box. It is noisy and needs regular re booting.Also the connection with the mini box is unreliable. I would like an engineer to call but don’t want that to happen during the Covid pandemic.

@GadgetsBoy @SkyUK and ? yes it works but it has a problem ? updating needs to be done . and is the contract for 4 years includes a warranty ? I would say "Glass" needs several big updates now

... and when you chase them up two weeks later - you get told the CRF sent by the last advisor was rejected as it was not completed correctly, hence the call back would never occur. What ever happened to MHR's and proper call backs @SkyUK

@LouiseLacy @SkySports Poxy apology and that's it. No meaning behind it. U see their all in to kick it out campaign. Pure lip service to look the part rather than deal with those who are causing the issues.

@SkySportsNews @pert_brian I hope the top brass at skysports and other media houses are getting it. All they do is criticise Ole at every opportunity, it is disgusting and never give him credit when deserved. Yuck. Thanks Mr Cole for speaking out.

I can only assume that since @SkyUK is now owned by Comcast - customer service is no longer top of the agenda as it was back in the day. It's now been three months of this problem and all we get told is "A CRF has been sent off - you'll get a call back"... That never happens

@SkyHelpTeam Heard nothing back. Wait times are too long to try and ring again. My Granda had phoned in saying he had a issue with his telephone line. He cancelled the job but you’ve threatened £65 charge if he doesn’t cancel it by 5pm today. Job was cancelled yesterday

@SkyHelpTeam I’ll be honest. I still have an issue with my Sky account. The fact I still cannot use the app on my phone or the MySky section on Sky Q box. Until that’s sorted I am reluctant to add anything from you!

@SkyHelpTeam Sorru Laura, we're past that stage now. She's just given 30 days notice based on how customer service have handled her since the problem started in August. "A company that promises call backs & doesn't then hangs up repeatedly on you isn't worth dealing with." Sadly, I agree.
