    @SkySportsPL @SkySports Interesting that people jump to conclusions based on media reports who themselves will not be privy to the full facts.Shame it has come to this but rather than make wild and in some cases stupid statements I will await the full facts and pray the club will act equitably.

  • VickyNannie Vicky (@VickyNannie) reported from Abercarn, Wales

    @duncanpoundcake @SkyUK @freesat_tv Best thing we did never looked back Sky is a rip off merchant

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam This is a problem we have had for years. And everytime I ask for help, it never goes anywhere. This is a general complain about businesses struggling to make money when we haven’t got reliable internet. However I will PM you. Thanks for your response

  • lovibond_matt Matt Lovibond (@lovibond_matt) reported from Risca, Wales

    Loving that Man Utd are now seeing the Ole Gunner Solskjaer that we had 9 months of at #Cardiff. The guy is not cut out for management and is getting by on that ******* goal in 99’. He will be the first manger gone next season #ManUtd #manutdvsmancity #SkySports

  • missrdwilliams3 Rebecca Williams (@missrdwilliams3) reported from Newport, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam trying to use sky go and it says my user name and password are wrong. They arent wrong. Is there a problem your end

  • AlexHaines5 Alex Haines (@AlexHaines5) reported from Blaenavon, Wales

    @Adz10Zak @SkySportsPL @SkySports Exactly, both shit

  • AndrewJHopkins Andrew Hopkins (@AndrewJHopkins) reported from Whitchurch, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam Really disappointed in your customer service today. Andrew on the phone was great, but to wait 6 days for an engineer to fit a new Sky Q box with no TV whatsoever for the family is a disgrace. I only subscribe to #skysports for the cricket and now I will miss #CWC19

  • ChrisEddy_7 Eddy (@ChrisEddy_7) reported from Llanyrafon, Wales

    After watching the game back this morning, it’s even more embarrassing the performance of all the officials last night, both assistants made shocking decisions too. None more so that giving offside against Matt from a throw in. Poor analysis from @SkySports too which is a shame.

  • DullUddenCow 🐮 DullUddenCow (@DullUddenCow) reported from Abertillery, Wales

    @Doyley25lfc @SkyHelpTeam I have only had Sky Q three weeks and it’s been troublesome so far. Sound dropouts through cinema system, input issues with the box not recognising the input change and now UHD flickering. Plus my subscription has been hiked by £5 a month weeks after upgrading. Poor show.

  • dec1an123 Declan Facey (@dec1an123) reported from Tonypandy, Wales

    @SkySports I know let’s show the @RangersFC and @AberdeenFC instead of of @ManCity @Everton clueless nobody wants to watch that shit

  • RosskoKeniston Rossko [Finger Guns] (@RosskoKeniston) reported from Porth, Wales

    Fair play to @SkyHelpTeam, called yesterday regards to a broadband issue. They sent an engineer out today and the problem was resolved. No messing around and got a discount on my next bill. Really quite impressed 👍

  • RosskoKeniston Rossko [Finger Guns] (@RosskoKeniston) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam Very much so. Speeds and jumping up and down but apparently that was to be expected. Thanks very much for the speedy fix.

  • ThomasMumford Tom Mumford (@ThomasMumford) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam Apparently got a speed boost on my ‘fibre’ internet. If anything the speed has gone down!! Rubbish.

  • KatyElphaba Katy Evans (@KatyElphaba) reported from Porth, Wales

    Shocking service from @SkyUK - I find an offer that says ends in 7 minutes - I call the number linked and it says that department is closed. Call back before 8pm. It’s 7.52pm. Thanks sky what a pile of ****.

  • Rehicknah Ryan Hill (@Rehicknah) reported from Pentyrch, Wales

    @GriffinSpurs @SkyUK Haha I don’t feel so bad now 😂😂

  • deandoubt Dean Jones (@deandoubt) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    So popped onto @SkySportsNews ap today to have a look pre @SixNationsRugby today. The video section @SkySportsRugby has 18 out of 19 video about England. As a @SkySports customer in Wales I find it baffling. @BBCSport far better at spreading coverage @WalesRugby #joke

  • Matthw_Thompson Matthew Thompson (@Matthw_Thompson) reported from Blackwood, Wales

    Surly there must’ve been some money down at a bookies to be DQ’d by biting #PriceAli #Boxing #SkySports

  • TheExiledRobin The Exiled Robin (@TheExiledRobin) reported from Llantrisant, Wales

    @RADMags @SkyHelpTeam Cancel, Rich

  • brokenpier1 Gareth Thomas (@brokenpier1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Shocking service from @SkyHelpTeam - if anyone can recommend a decent internet provider I’d appreciate it.

  • EllenParker6 Ellen Parker (@EllenParker6) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia 4 month countdown to get rid of you your customer service is beyond rude. Your technical support is lacking in manners and availability. @SkyUK we are on our way back sorry for leaving biggest mistake ever. We may have saved £20 but not worth the shit service

    @SkySports Did you have to use a picture of him having a ****?

  • CoryShackleton Cory Shackleton (@CoryShackleton) reported

    @llantwitad @SkyHelpTeam Absolutely agree, it's the lack of understanding some people have towards getting things fixed...the impatience really. I've personally not had any persistent problems with Sky and anything has been sorted in a reasonable time. Employers would be understanding I'm sure too.

  • KersalFletch01 Michael Fletcher (@KersalFletch01) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam OK guys, this is getting stupid. We’ve been without internet access for most of the last two days. The engineer we were promised has been a no-show. Megan at technical service was great but apart from her your service has been a shambles. How do we terminate our contract?

  • ChohanAamer Aamer Chohan (@ChohanAamer) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I live in Stafford and my broadband and landline phone are not working ?? What is the issue?

  • AlexTho16892490 Alex Thomas (@AlexTho16892490) reported

    @SkyUK So, i agree to cone to sky mobile. Purchase 2 sims which you send me in the post but fail to tell me which is for which contract so how am i meant to activate them!! Tried calling....1 hour wait time...is there any point moving to you if thats what the service is like!!

  • gazjoy Gaz Joyce 💙 (@gazjoy) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam the broadband outage is affecting me (Midlands) but only Leicester, South Wales and South England are reported to be having issues.

  • NoHeroes94 James (@NoHeroes94) reported

    I’ve never seen anything like this @SkyUK National outage. If anything, I’m seeing more reports or more areas going dark today than yesterday! Must have been a mad error somewhere…

  • DaveEvans630 David Evans (@DaveEvans630) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @EllieMixerMay No broadband connection for me in Stoke-on-Trent - seen comments from other people in Staffordshire too (no broadband). Have to say I am getting more connection problems and drop-outs that people in my area with other providers.

  • _myElectrical myElectrical.com (@_myElectrical) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @toji97803758 Here is an update. Wait 45 minuets on the phone, call center helper cannot run tests. Told unable to do tests and sort out due to too many people calling about outages. Try agin in a few hours. Not the best customer service.

  • PirateAndy666 Dr. Pirate (@PirateAndy666) reported

    @LarryBundyJr @SkyUK Sky is overpriced garbage nowadays anyway. Trust me I know. I used to work for them. Much more financially viable to subscribe to one or two streaming services and not have to deal with adverts for 15 minutes of every hour of viewing.
