Chronic customer service, according to sky everything is the customer's fault, they also use a subscription not direct debit, which can only be cancelled by them so they can continue to take payments

Can be good if you restart it and if you complain but after a certain they make it worse and is really bad. It's unreliable and cant run certain things. We have upgraded and it hasn't changed anything so I would prefer them to keep their wifi stable and reliable

I like Sky, always helpful and lower prices often when my price rises. Good perks and loyalty rewards.

Surprisingly skys broadband offers me far better ping speeds than BT my previous provider and similar speeds for less money can’t be bad to that

I've not had experience with customer service, so I just gave it 3 stars, but everything else, I have had experience with and let me say: its awful. I've tried internet speed tests, and they all say its at 70 - 80 mbps, which is pretty good, but whenever I do actually download something, it drops to as low as 20 mbps. When playing online, I get around 50 ping average, but when I decide to listen to music in the background? It spikes horrendously. I've had my ping spike to 14,000ms just because I pressed play on Spotify. Its not reliable at all. Sometimes my previous issue with Spotify is non-existent, but other times even without Spotify open it does horrendously. I've had ping as low as 20ms whilst having 5 other tabs open all using the internet, but sometimes with only one tab open it still does awful. It is not reliable at all and very inconsistent. For some reason when I'm the only one in my house using it, it does significantly worse than if everyone in my house is using it, and I have 4 people in my house all using their phones, watching YouTube, watching TV, etc. Overall its not good, very inconsistent, and I wouldn't recommend.

I have been sky customer for last 18 months. I have FTTP 500 via BT open reach. Wired connection i am able to achieve over 400 mbps but on wireless it drops to around 250 mbps in the same room or very near to sky router. Upstairs it drops to below 50 mbps. and even in some room around 20 mbps. Looking at some other provider,s review looks like none of their routers are able to provide good coverage through out the house unless you use a mesh system. I have small house and Router is attached to the side of stair case but soon as you are upstairs where distance is probably 1-2 meters, wifi does not perform well.

I switched to Sky in November from EE based on their 'deal' £22/month (12 month contract). After 4 payments they increase it by £3/month! This ruse is sickening and unfair. When will consumers get a fair deal from broadband providers in that when they offer a deal they either stick to it to the penny, or be honest about the actual cost of the broadband for the duration of the contract? The market just seems so dishonest and manipulative.

Atrocious customer service. Price hike within 6 months of joining. Excessively long delays when phoning customer service. Advertised as 100mbps+ download speed normally less than 40mbps, and has been as low as 16mbps. Signal from router does not reach all of property as claimed. Initial service connection delayed by over 2 weeks , did not receive due compensation Will be switching at the end of the contract I switched from Virgin because of unreasonable cost [£50+ for broadband only, though I know of cases where people are being charged £80+]. Now with SKY, and there is NOTHING that I would recommend.
