“Where do I start, been a loyal customer of SKY for 15 years but not for much longer if they don’t improve their service absolutely shocking, reported a fault with one of the 2 iPhone contracts I have with back in October I have been back & forth for over 2 months & spent over 5 hours over the phone to which I have now have to wait up to another 4-6 weeks that’s if goes smoothly which I’m not holding my breath before the phone will have be repaired after their repair agent sent it back unrepaired because the IME did not match, after another hour & half yesterday on the phone SKY confirmed the number was correct & couldn’t understand why they sent it back, any decent company which SKY use to be would just send me another new phone because how long I waited but NO. Please anyone reading this that’s looking for new phone contract avoid SKY at all costs WORSE COMPANY AT THERE.”

“Opted for Sky in Oct. It's now almost Xmas, with still no Internet or TV. They actually took over my neighbour's telephone line, leaving them without internet. Since then i have just been played of to Openreach. Will never use Sky again and i advise against anyone else to do so.”

“I have to give a star to write a review but I wouldn’t even give that! Sky stream with remotes that don’t work and is known to sky and what do they do.. false promises that my remote since 12th November! I now have 2 broken remotes and still not 1 has arrived! Been passed to escalations and all they say is they agree the service is appalling and apologise.. that’s no good to me when I can’t watch sky! 4 weeks on Saturday.. I got told to not go with virgin.. I wish someone told me not to go with sky either as I never would have if I had known I was dealing with this and the terrible customer service they have provided to date! Shambles to say the least!!!”

“I took a sky glass tv together with broadband and sky TV package. At the time of the deal over the telephone with sky I was promised £100 prepaid Mastercard as a gift which would reach me after 45 days !! I have been calling Sky and as always I have been put through to nearly 5 members of staff without getting anywhere.. finally I was passed on to David who after nearly 1 hr over the phone to tell me that that deal was never there 🙃 and I won't be getting it. ,"END OF :!! He said. Well guys if you think going to sky think twice. 🤔 once my contract is finished I am done with these thieves ..”

“This is the worst broadband and company so far. They will charge you for service you are not enjoying. My broadband is not working and they said I would have to wait for when the engineer will be available and I will still have to pay for the period the broadband is not working. And they agreed the fault is from their side. I will never advise anyone to subscribe to sky”

“Awful, awful new customer experience. I went for a Sky Q and gigabit fibre broadband on 24 October and the broadband installation was scheduled on 7 Nov and the sky Q engineer for the sky box install on 8 Nov, which is 15 and 16 days respectively. On the 5th Nov I had an evening email to say there was a problem with my broadband install so when I eventually got through to customer services they said Openreach had reject d the transfer of the line to Sky, but not given a reason why. I pressed for them to contact Openreach to Understand why (in case something needs to be resolved for this to go ahead) but instead I just got brushed off with “we probably think it’s for the reason” and it was then rebooked for 21 November (to which may be cancelled again as they have not provided a reason as to why it was cancelled in the first instance). On 8th Nov (today), an engineer came out to ‘install’ my sky Q box. After about 2 minutes of being in the property I was told that I needed a special engineer to come out and put a special box in the communal electric cupboard (it’s an apartment block). The ‘special’ engineer has now been rebooked for the 27th November. No apology, no let’s try and see if we can get this done sooner, just nonchalant responses. Having high bandwidth is imperative for my job and now I’m paying a fortune for a mini hub from EE that isn’t even remotely sufficient. So in summary I’m waiting 28 days for my broadband install (which may or may not go ahead) and 34 days for my Sky Q box to be installed. This is a new customer experience; I truly dread the ongoing customer experience; I’m not sure if I’ll even make it out of the cool-down period without cancelling at this rate”

“very bad customer service, my Call divert has stopped working for nearly 3 weeks and i'm still waiting for them to resolve it and they keep fobbing me. My call divert isn't working if someone trys to ring my landline which then diverts to my mobile it cuts off. i have reported the issue to sky but unfortunately they never sorted the problem. on sky help forum every body is complain about the same problem https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Talk/Call-divert-not-working/m-p/4145706. so now i decided to move to another service provider.”

“Tenuous connection. Even when it decided to connect, it refused to stay connected for long. Low quality download speed for games, cannot connect to online games for a reasonable amount of time.”

“My parents pay €80 euros a month for sky, it’s nothing but repeats and old shows, for every 15 minutes of tv there’s at least 5 minutes of adds, as if paying €80 per month isn’t enough. Customer care line won’t answer the phone, we cancelled the standing order and then they rang back within half a day! Horrible company”

“Went on to sky vip app on my q box today to find an offer of sky multi room for £3 a month. Decided to take advantage of it and ordered on screen via the offer page. Then checked my account for order status only to find they are charging me £8 a month!!! Rang them up to ask them to sort it out and they said there had never been an offer for this and basically called me a liar!!! Absolute thieving offensive scum bags!!!”

“TV installation engineer did not turn up on scheduled visit 30/09/22 @ 2.15pm. Received text message from Sky shortly afterwards informing me that the engineer could not 'gain access'. Engineer is a complete liar. No attempt made. Family was at home waiting for him all day. Plenty of parking available at front, side, rear and opposite tye road from our terraced house at shopping car park! Overseas customer service don't help. Waste of time, energy, money wasted from booking time off work, stress inducing as a new customer. Welcome to Sky.....”

“Sky says you can upgrade so I did they said my phone is worth £162.50 so when I get my new phone they then decide that the pixels on the inside have burned on to the screen so it's only worth half £81.25 exactly half so I asked to return my mobile and in the same condition they received it there was no screen protector or cover. I find it amazing that on the sky forum this has happened to so many people.but there was nothing wrong with the phone I have it back and working fine but still not received anything to send this phone back so Monday I am cancelling my direct debit so there not getting paid for the other phone there charging me.”

“On 21ST May I was contacted by a SKY Advisor Faz who negotiated a sky package with me to commence following an engineer visit 10th June 2022. The Engineer failed to turn up, so I phoned a SKY Advisor Ron. Eventually I was given a new date for the 1st of July for an Engineer. On the 1st of July the Engineer failed in his attempt to put the Fibre cable from my house to the exchange across from my drive. I contacted SKY and was told the civil team were required and the dig would be completed 15th July. The civil team did not turn up obviously not completing any work. On the 13th of July my SKY Broadband was disconnected. I phoned SKY and was informed it would be reported and then fixed within 72hrs. After 24hrs I phoned again and told the Advisor that I felt it was not going to be repaired. The Advisor said they could not escalate to a BT Engineer until 72hrs had passed. 72hrs passed and still no broadband as predicted! My family’s 3 x mobile phones data had expired due to no Internet. Had to change provider so we could afford more Gigs to carry on work, banking, communication etc plus my daughter has a disability and relies on broadband a great deal for her wellbeing! All SKY Advisors I spoke to; Ron, Pamela, Bethany, Martin, Sean, Karen, Darren, Stuart, Ian, Albert, Tracy, Sarah I spoke with to try and establish when I was to get my broadband connected but all failed to call me back when promised to update me. I had to make the calls and all those I spoke to lied with their response regarding what was happening including the sympathy with the horrendous treatment I was receiving. In particular 2 Managers Sarah and David refused to call me back as it was below their paygrade! I continued to phone again and again but was continually given false information and false completion dates, including one date which could not happen as Open reach were on strike. I asked on three occasions to have my old broadband reconnected and was told by Advisors that the decision by their Line Mangers was no! The new installation had to be completed and they would not permit the original broadband to be reinstated. As mentioned before nobody is able to speak to a SKY Manager regarding their decisions as it is below the said Managers pay-grade to speak to a customer. At a complete loss as to what to do and to prevent myself becoming ill with the stress dealing with the pressures of no Broadband and disgusting customer service, I took the decision to let it take its course. Having received no updates obviously not being able to view your account and messages online does not help and SKYs policy of phoning you but only letting your phone ring twice before hanging up (just to say they tried to call you) then sending a pointless message, eventually the civil team did their repair and I was connected 13th September 2022, 3 months later. Bear in mind I have been paying my SKY subscription at the higher pre negotiated price all this time and I have had no Broadband/ Internet, no telephone landline, no internet, no SKY TV, no catch up, no Netflix, no Amazon Prime (all paid for), no account access, not able to use any smart controls, no TV access in any other room, change of mobile provider, new contract cost, stayed in on 4 occasion for Open-Reach, I had a call (2 rings) and message left 2 days ago and the Advisor told me my complaint was closed and my refund calculated had been sent to her Manager for approval. I phoned again today as I was told my complaint would stay open and compensation discussed with me at the end of the saga. I am aware now my complaint against all the Advisors who were shockingly dishonest will be dealt with by themselves. So, to make this clear; you commit a crime, get caught then go to court, judge and sentence yourself!! Finally, Leanne informs me I have been compensated £75 for my loss. So, for anyone looking at joining SKY, be assured of their incredible customer service!!!”
