“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!!!”

“Hideous! We were clients for 16 years. We were accused of not paying our final bill and threatened with debt collection even though proof of payment the month prior has been provided. Secondly, we live in the countryside and were told we had to make a special trip well out of our way to drive into Christchurch to drop off the decoder. Goodness knows why it can’t be posted. This was never mentioned in the original agreement signed, they have staff in our district every second week and they’ve been awkward and spiteful during the closure of our account. Worst business we’ve ever dealt with!”

“I've been a SKY Tv and broadband VIP customer for 3 years. When I was desperately in help Today and called them as the bills were crazy high for me, I was shocked with the awful insensetive unhelpful approach of the cusgomer service who said You are stuck with us for the next 18 months and nothing I can do for you! Thank you SKY, I will serve my time and that would be it for good, I promise you that.”

“Although i prefer Sky over most but it seems they're climbing their way down not up in a sense of.... i pay for certain channels and they're forcing me to watch their adverts, the adverts at first were short but now they're becoming much more frequent and lengthy. I am seriously considering cancelling my subscription with Sky. If i wanted to watch programs with adverts interrupting my program i will watch YouTube. Sky sort this out!!!! I pay quite a bit and feel deeply disappointed.”

“Would not recommend sky. We are in the middle of moving house and have much better internet options in our new area, because we want to leave sky, they are charging us an extortionate price that we wasn’t made aware of. Would not recommend sky to friends or family and will certainly not be returning in the future.”

“I have had no service for a considerable period. Today they had me wait in for an engineer to test the line when they thought the fault might be down the road with external supply. The guy they sent was from open reach and had no capacity to work on the line. I am sitting here waiting to cancel the contract as they clearly are incapable of supplying the service.”

“If I could give 0 I would. THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!! Left my property in March. Called to cancel, they failed to cancel and instead of calling us to say it failed to cancel, they instead kept charging us till June when I called them to ask why they keep charging us. THEY THEN MAKE ME PAY £200 as fee for THEIR ERRORS. Tell me I don’t need to return my box as I am no longer in the property, then now in August, I get a charge from Sky again and they say they will charge me £50 for not returning the equipment. WHY IS IT OUR FAULT THAT THEY CANNOT DO THEIR JOB!!! WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD. SHOULD BE LIQUIDATED AND MY GOD NEED TO TRAIN THEIR STAFF AGAIN”
