    @AdamStubbz @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!

    Loved #womenssportsdebate on @skysports - 2 hours of great and interesting chat. But can’t help but feel there wasn’t any debate? A dozen people agreeing with one another doesn’t help... #StepOutsideTheEchoChamber

    @SkyHelpTeam how come you can only offer me a basic broadband but BT can offer me two speeds over fibre? Am I missing something or are they slow in telling you they’re upgraded?

    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 was unable to carry them out because the connection was too slow! It’s intermittent at the moment. Sometimes fast, then drops out or goes incredibly slow without warning.

  • deans_catherine
    Catherine Deans (@deans_catherine) reported

    @SkyUK your service is built on self service, use your tv or internet, no people needed - except it’s not and you can’t do everything you need and then when your order doesn’t arrive your phone service is appalling but if to complain you have to write and post a letter..really??

  • Roolach

    @SkyHelpTeam Apparently theres been a problem and have to wait 48 hours just to find out what it is. Absolute joke I have to work!.

    @SkyHelpTeam Sorry, me again! New issues: if I try to play Sky recordings, or download Sky progs it says I don’t have any Sky TV channels (inc Atlantic etc), and I need to add them, obviously I do have them & can watch them now. This is not in Faqs, I need to talk to someone again!

    Billy Mac (@alswearmac) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Seriously? I’m on a dm ‘conversation’ line where ‘Heather’ has said one sentence in 40 minutes!!??? I suppose you don’t have any concern for customer care now I have signed a contract.

  • alexmeerkat87
    Alex (@alexmeerkat87) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam how do I get through to speak to someone about broadband? Mine keeps dropping to terribly low speeds (0.3mb)and when I call all that happens is a machine takes my mobile number to send me a help guide... which a, hasn't actually came through yet and b, will be basic.
