Sky as usual brilliant. I have had Sky TV, Sky Phone, Sky Mobile and Sky Broadband for years. The service I have received from Sky is brilliant they always sort any query out immediately ( I have only had 6 queries in 10 years) The operators speak clealy and are eu based.Just the best forget the Rest. I for one will not be changing |

Absolutely horrendous service. First of all the engineer who was sent out wasn't given the details of the job that would need done (we needed new phone lines etc), so I had to rearrange the appointment for them to come during the AM. This didn't seem to be a problem, until Sky kept delaying the appointment, texting me over and over again putting it off from one week to the next. I cancelled the direct debit as nothing was being done, then was contacted via message (again) four days before Christmas saying they couldn't complete my order...naturally they realised the DD had been cancelled, and suddenly couldn't do anymore. Never again, I'm waiting until the New Year and looking elsewhere for better customer service with a provider who does just that...PROVIDES!!! |

I cancelled sky tv and broadband due to the excessive cost. Sky tv cancellation policy is 31 days and broadband is 14 days. I spoke to the customer service representative and explained that I wanted them both to finish at the same time, then asked the gentlemen what date will they both finish. He explained 3rd January 2019. However my sky broadband finished on 17th December. I contacted them and there's nothing they can do so am without broadband over the Christmas period. I am absolutely livid as there is no way he could of got confused, we were having a full conversation about it. I will never go back to Sky again |

The worst broadband ever I lost my internet connection at Least once a day for an hour and once a moth for several days to a week. Engineers didn't show up at agreed times customer service that made hollow promises and down right lied to me about what was agreed engineers came several hours early and then claimed that I wasn't in. Poor service I've cancels my subscription and transferred to a rilible service, will never get any off sky's services again |

Have 24Mb Sky Broadband, they only give 1Mb (and cheating on ping test that gives 8 Mb), terrible service not recommended for anyone. |

went with Sky Fibre Max to consolidate bills as we wanted the Sky Sports and Sky Atlantic TV channels. The new Sky Q Hub has the worst and most unreliable WiFi signal ever. Regularly cuts out and delivers incredibly slow speeds when in any other room than the one containing the router. Impossible to stream anything unless you're sitting right next the Q hub. Had both BT and Virgin media wireless routers in the past 3 years and they both performed far far better than this. Really surprising that something marketing as a premium product (Sky Q) uses such cheap hardware. Read up online about poor WiFi signal on the Sky Q Hub and you'll see that I'm not alone in complaining about this! Seriously Sky, the wireless on the Q hub is so bad it is making me never consider using Sky again - for anything! To make matters worse, the customer service staff were incredibly rude when I suggested using my own hardware as a modem/router - as if I'd done something wrong. In short, hugely disappointing move to Sky and I already can't wait to go back to BT or Virgin Media. If good WiFi signal around your property is important to do DO NOT sign up to broadband delivered to the Sky Q hub! Oh, and add to this that when you try to contact Sky to learn more about which 3rd party routers you could potentially use, you'll be shut down with ludicrous company policy stating 'Sky don't recommend 3rd party routers therefore if you want help for it you'll have to search online for it' which is a very abrupt and rude standpoint to take. My advice would be to stay well away from this company for Broadband services. |

New customer to Sky fiber broadband and what a mistake I made, this is the third day with no Internet and quite frankly customer services have not been of any help whatsoever |

| Fred Wilson | Haverhill Suffolk | Sky | 2018-12-12 | |
Wired speed, no major issues. Wireless - not good. Was on a 38mbps package and barely got 15 down at the best of times right next to the Q router and lower than 1 at peak times! Constant packet loss playing games even when wired. Customer service is poor, they seem to only want to deal via Facebook messenger (and take forever to answer) or through text messaging! Would not recommend. |

Terrible company and service. After cancelling my subscription I have been charged for 2 extra months. |

| Laura | London | Sky | 2018-12-10 | |
Pathetic speed and reliability. They say its because we are using wifi but the that is the whole point of a wireless device surely. It looses connection when we are sitting in front of the hub and you have no chance in the other rooms. |

Arranged with Sky to move from Virgin. Sky failed to install phone line and Broadband on date agreed and they have now walked away from any responsibility for sorting the issue. Sky uncontactable online and no help given on the phone. Avoid them like the plague! |

Not great value at all, paying £65 a month for very basic t.v package (most can be watched on free view) and broadband that can only be used in the same room as the router. Would have expected better value for money from sky to be honest, customer support is not bad at all it doesn’t change the rubbish value for money or ridiculously rubbish broadband/connectivity. Will be changing to virgin as soon as the contract ends! |

I cannot stress this enough; NEVER GET BROADBAND FROM SKY. Ever sincce my family purchased Broadband as part of a package deal with Sky Sports we have had to tolerate attrocious signal and pathetically frequent disconnects. Sky clearly do not know how to be an internet service provider, their wireless router barely reaches into the next room. Absolutely pathetic; we are looking to change ISPs as soon as humanely possible. |

somehow sky broadband is slower than pre 2000's dial up. I have to wait over an hour for an online chat with them to make a complaint, not even surprised because they are probably using sky broadband aswell. I am supposed to have 30mbs but barely reach 5 on a good day. WASTE OF MONEY |

This WiFi connection is THE WORST I’ve ever had, DO NOT get it I am saving you some money. Go with virgin. |

A while ago I spent over 3 months with my Internet droping out 10 - 50 times a day. They never fixed it and after giving up it eventualy started working again. Now I have give them my notice to cancel and suprise they keep droping me again. They do this on purpose! They are the worse kind of people. They have you running round it circles while they play dumb. I will never return to sky again they don't care about there customers at all. Also they won't reduce my bill which is 70 pound for only standard package. They should be banished! Don't even deserve 1 star! |

We’ve been with Sky for a couple of years now, since we moved house as Virgin wasn’t available in our current house. The whole 2 or so years it’s been mediocre at best, we’ve told them several times and we eventually got upgraded to fibre at no extra cost. We’re now allegedly on their bestest fastest shiniest broadband they provide and it’s still terrible. I’m trying to watch a video on my phone at the moment (this is the reason I’ve decided to leave this review), I’m about 15 feet from the router and I can see it so there’s no obstructions blocking the signal, and it keeps freezing so it can buffer. My girlfriend has a computer based job and she quite often works from home, her laptop and computer are probably 5 or 6 feet away from the router and she doesn’t bother with the WiFi as she can’t rely on it, she just tethers off of her work phone instead, to me that speaks volumes about the quality of Sky’s service! We're moving house in the New Year and we will absolutely definitely 100% not ever be going back to Sky, Virgin was better in every way, the TV included! If we can’t get Virgin at our new place then we’ll just be having freeview and using another broadband provider. Avoid sky fibre in my opinion, it’s nowhere near as good as they make it out to be, in the advert they show getting signal in the garage, on the roof, in the garden etc, to get this coverage they must have at least 2 routers in each location! Sky TV is a rip off too! If I could leave zero stars or a negative number I would. |

I reported loss of my phone line and slow/intermittent broadband. There was a 30 minute queue to report by phone and the text message process was slow and clumsy. Clearly a computer-driven screening process because it asked questions when I'd already provided the information. No phone service for 5 days and no refund. |

Hi to everyone who has sky WiFi there are waste of time IV had so many problems with WiFi signal cutting out and signal strength it's a disgrace and especially when you pay for there services and they Can't Even sort WiFi problems out I advise everyone to go on EE or other WiFi providers I just don't see why you should pay the bill if you ain't getting what you agreed on 100% guaranteed service.... Discusting waste of time they are.. Do Not Use Sky WiFi!!!!!! |

Absolutely awful, save yourself a LOT of aggro and go elsewhere. Sky decided to cancel my phone line when I moved provider which means a) I have to pay £130 to have a new line put in, and b) it has been a difficult and time consuming job to sort it out. Have had a phone line for 30 years and never encountered this before and it seems quite malicious on Sky's behalf, for no good reason, I was never rude or abusive towards them. In hindsight I would not have moved to Sky and won't ever go back. |

I am absolutely disgusted with the way i was spoken to today! My query was completely ignored whilst the man talked non stop about the new skyQ box i already said i did not want and was completely unrelated to my actual issue! And then when i said i was not happy to pay 65 pounds for someone to come and look at the satellite dish because i already pay a fortune per month, he began to shout at me and tell me i will have to pay it or it will not get fixed and i will still be charged for the services i cannot use! The situation was not resolved and i will be removing my custom from them ASAP! Appalling service. |

very bad service, when we signed up no engineers came by to connect it and check everything was working properly and of course it wasn't. Can't watch youtube or netflix without it buffering endlessly. Just a useless service.TY programmes a waste of time watching, I pay £60 p.m. so I'm sure as hell not going to pay to upgrade. |

Slow as anything. Takes to long to connect |

Everytime i've asked about reducing my bill they've said no offers are available. In other words take it or leave it. One day their bubble will burst |

Been with sky for 18 months, was promised up to 17 mbs at best got 2.8 mbs I could not watch internet films or play my online games which I had forked out hundreds of pounds for. I rang them up to complain and they said I would have to pay extra for fibre. |

Sky used to be brilliant for broadband but they have gone downhill drastically.After being a valued customer for over 3 years I have finally bitten the bullet and left.For the past 12months my broadband connection was very limited and would stop working completely for a week at a time every month!When I would ring up for help I would be told I had to pay £65 upfront for an engineer visit,I would refuse and miraculously my internet would start working again the next day!Speed would be slow when it was working and it would be very unreliable.Please stay away from Sky for broadband as you will only regret it. |

The service is OKish - sometimes really slow and can even hang-up. SKY usually have deals but DONT inform you when it ends, thereby forcing you to pay a much higher price - Loyalty is NOT rewarded. |

Extremely poor speed. 0.3 when connected by ethernet. Looking for alternative provider. Very dissatisfied. |

I left Virgin as the bills had got too big as they do. I booked Sky on line and was given an instalation date for the TV and a later date for the Broadband. The TV engineer turned up, very nice chap got on and installed all and was very helpful. Then it was the Broadband time, the engineer turned up pretty much on time, again very nice chap, very helpful, but he could not get my Broadband working. He made a phone call and left telling us we would see another engineer later this afternoon who would fix this. |
