Terrible customer service, you can never get through on the phone, once you do get through they pass you from one person to another hold times around 40 minutes at a time. I've called to cancel my account when it came to the end of the contract, the following month they are still taking payments from my bank, another 1 hour phone call to be told they can see we called to cancel but "not sure why it hasn't been cancelled " can you call back and cancel again. They mark your experian account with late payments effecting your credit score when you call the number provided it says balance is zero and ends the call on you. The whole thing is a joke!!

Lost my phone and they won’t block the sim and send me out a replacement chip without asking about 10000 stupid questions that I can’t answer as everything is on my phone THAT IS LOST and probably someone else has it by now! Trying to speak to someone there and get some sense is like talking to a brick wall! Would definitely never go with them again it’s a joke! Quick enough to take my money monthly when the service is shocking anyway and hardly works anywhere even when I’m on Wi-Fi but won’t help! ABSOLUTE JOKE DO NOT RECOMMEND at all!

SHOCKING Experience with SKY Customer Services. Tried MANY TIMES to contact SKY to cancel my TV Subscription. Went on their website and waited for over an hour in a Live Chat, to try to speak with agent. No Response. Went on their website to get phone number to speak with a human being. Some numbers listed were unobtainable. others was just left hanging on the phone in ridiculously long queues. No Success. Emailed them repeatedly, without a single reply. Now received texts from a Debt collection agency, demanding monies. No phone calls. No replies. Sky are a Dirty Money Grabbing outfit simply interested in maximising profit without giving a decent level of Customer service. Shameful Outfit. Life's too short to waste of these crooks. Have been a customer for 20+ years. Not anymore. Moved to another Provider.

All fine, until you try and leave. 4 calls - now trying to charge me for equipment that I have sent back and months I do not owe. Go elsewhere DO NOT buy from sky.

Before contract even finished started charging nearly £20 more on top Submitted ticked with a help centre then spoke with them and totally unhelpful no consideration about anything, always was telling about about confusing t&c no interest in resolving anything. Sky Makes double contacts with different ending dates so they catch out customers and then forward much higher bills!

Appalling service! We’re a large business and use Sky for our internet and phones, our phones went down last week and we reported the issue, they’ve now been down for over a week and Sky have told us they don’t know what the problem is but that we can’t do anything but wait! You are slowly destroying our business and your service is legitimately the worst I have ever experienced. No one ever calls you back, will be filing a complaint with Cisas shortly.

Just nasty arrogant people. Must be a company ethic. When the time for billing came, my payment method failed due to card having been cancelled. I honestly thought I had a DD with them. So they sent me an email about it on the spot, and I immediately logged on and changed the payment method. Instead of them taking the payment right there and then, they decided to email me to tell me all is fine and that, not to worry, they would take double the amount on the next payment run. They, word for word, told me that I did not have to do anything. Then I got a blank marker on my credit score. Disgusting nasty people. Can't wait for contract to end.

Sky. What a rip off. Wish I'd never cancelled Virgin Media. Not only is the broadband inferior, it's very slow, constantly failing, on and off nearly every day, at any time, and drives me mad. I moved to an area where the signal wasn't as good as my last address, less than half. I expected the price to drop, it didn't, I asked they said no. WHY??? I understand that it is not your fault I moved. I don't understand why it hasn't dropped in price, because it isn't my fault you can't even supply the lack lustre broadband you provided before. My internet is now around 26 - 32 mbps, making it slower than my mobile phone powered by 3 mobile Internet. My package was renamed to the 35 mbps package, without my permission, I am paying for the 70 mbps package, this is what should be showing on my bill, nothing else. The tv signal is also terrible. If I record anything, watch anything live it drifts in and out of signal, pixilated picture. Ruins my programme's. They even increased my package price this month. An absolute liberty. I have to put up with this until November. Then the ordeal will be over.

i have been a sky customer for over 11 years and never missed my monthly payments , i asked sky why new customers are getting a much cheaper deal than i have ?? anyone joining sky get a better package at a cheap rate ? there adviser said that i am free to leave sky if i am not happy with them as they cannot improve on the new increases in June 2023 - so i contacted Virgin who offered me a full package with internet & tv & telephone etc with a 18month contract for £28.25 cheaper than sky -

It’s now clear sky are fraudulently breaking the law when not telling customers their contracts are ending what next OR they have now changed their sports channels without telling customers are they above the law

I do not understand why they do not give offers to existing customers. Contacted customer service and "Akshay" then increased the price of the bill to more than what we are currently paying. CANCELLED CONTRACT

Don't join sky they are scammers. I went from £27 to £68. They tell you what you want to hear and then tell you when you want to cancel packagers you will be fined. Scammers!!! Avoid like the plague

I was going to cancel my subscription with Sky as it was coming to the end. I wasn't going to pay the new fees. I contacted customer services to inform them of this. I was told that they would do me a deal as I have been with them for a long time. I was paying £50 a month. The deal was going to be £39 a month. So, I agreed to stay with them. However, a couple of weeks later I got an email informing me that from April my bill was going to be £45 a month. I rang customer services again telling them there isn't anything they can do about it. After my subscription ends next time, I will go with another company. They haven't kept their end of the deal.

Sky has great packages and reasonably priced but their customer services doesn't match the packages. They send out faulty equipment and make it so difficult to replace it. Made to feel like a liar on the phone. Send emails and never get a response. They call you to sell you more products and when you say no they ask why. You explain the reason why and they hang up on you as they are only interested in the bonus and not helping the customer. I was going to transfer more of my stuff over to Sky but I don't think I will be now.

After 9 years of being with Sky its time to switch to Virgin after the most appalling customer service and cost increase I have ever known. Sky contract expires in April so rung up to continue exact same package as I am currently on. I was told my current deal that I am on is very good (£54 a month) but they can offer me a new deal for only £77 a month! Wow thanks Sky and thanks the sales assistant Jayashree who so kindly tried to rob me blind. So they want to give me the exact same TV channels, the exact same appalling customer service from India for an increase in monthly cost of 42.6%. Just another company trying to bankrupt the hard working and loyal customers of the UK all whilst lining their own directors and shareholders pockets. Disgraceful and should be utterly ashamed of how you treat your existing and loyal customers

I have cancelled my account during the beginning of January only to find out that my account has been reinstated without my permission. The customer advisor called Kathleen was quite rude and said I must have activated it as I need my bank detail or someone else use my account to, which is ridiculous. Something they've done and trying to fault me. The first advisor mentioned it was cheeky of the person to reinstate my account, he checked the history, and saw who activated my account and said it was without me being aware. I have been calling numerous time to find out what is happening only to be forwarded to department after another. My problem has not been solved! Now I have a active account and I have to fork up the bill again!? I paid my last bill!! Waiting for management to call me, apparently a 24/hr waiting.

Sky mobile will not allow you to remove parental controls, and thus access your full SIM functionality (which you have paid for), unless you have a credit card, or have a credit agreement with them. I have neither and offered a passport / mortgage documents to prove i am an adult. This back and forth via approx a dozen emails and calls resulted in sky saying its their policy and nothing can be done. I asked for it to be raised as a formal complaint to their policy / management team. This took several more emails and calls and they eventually said the complaint would be raised and then immediately marked as resolved, as nothing could be done. This is a frustrating outcome and its a silly policy that allows no way to prove your adulthood apart from essentially getting into debt via a credit card, or getting a credit agreement. Customer service was polite, but kept going in circles in an effort to simply wear you down. Pretty poor show sky!
