I went with sky broadband as it says super fast speed. But it is absolutely poor. I'm really disappointed. Very slow. Some days I don't get any signal. Extremely poor service.

An absolutely horrendous service. This company tell lies even about their own lies. We were due for connection on 23rd September, engineer turned up walked in, glanced at telephone point and walked out. He went outside, ripped the Virgin media box off the wall,leaving all the wires on the floor and drove off. 9 phone calls and 20 hours later I get a text to say engineer left due to their being Covid in my home. Where the hell did he dream that up from? I made a complaint, was literally laughed at and was belittled by the rude arrogant customer service staff. We have had 6 promises of telephone call backs, nothing has happened. I told them I will get a solicitor involved they said I am not able to do that. I even told them that my solicitor has said he will sue for breach of contract they laughed and said "your solicitor is wrong".
Virgin want £165 plus vat to fix the broken box and as Sky say the engineer was from BT open reach I contacted them directly. Open reach say they have no record of any engineer being sent to my home at all so I told Sky this. They said "sir you are not allowed to contact the open reach team, you can only communicate with Sky".
Guess what Sky, you are wrong and I will never ever use your services again. What's the next excuse? Fuel shortage so engineer can't get there!! Shove your broadband and TV I am done
Avoid this company at all costs. Absolutely ridiculous

Absolute garbage. We have contacted Sky for an engineer to sort out or check our problem. Instead we got someone on the phone making up excuses and giving us the most basic advices that we have been trying for months. Sometimes my internet goes down to or below 0.5 mbps, that's ******* awful. My avg speed is about 6 mbps. The people at Sky blame us such as saying "don't put your router next to a phone, radio or below" despite the fact that when we had an engineer set it up, he set it up the way it should and already told us this but even then our wifi is beyond garbage. The router is above facing everyone in a free space so why is it still so ****? Because its ******* SKY!!!

Absolutely terrible service. Been cut off due to a sky workman who cut through a line and has left me without broadband for nearly a week. But the worst thing is there's no information or updates from sky even when promised by certain representatives. I was promised 3 calls to update me and each time to no evail. I'm still unsure of when my service will resume despite needing this for my work. I plead with anyone thinking of joining sky to think again and try another service. I'm not one to complain but this service (or lack of) has left me fuming. Shame on you sky.

Literally the most inconsistent and unreliable broadband available. It goes off without warning basically every week and despite multiple calls has never been improved. Don't waste your time.

Can you believe they have the audacity to take the full price of our money, but can’t even sort their internet out yet again. Literally last week there was a big outage and went down again, I’m sick of them and will be leaving them. Take my word they’re greedy and couldn’t care less about providing you “the best broadband”

I really wish I could give SKY ZERO for everything. I will break down all the areas on here.
Overall Satisfaction 0…why! I could cry right now. For the last 2 weeks i have had connectivity of up to 2hrs per day. From last evening till now 12.29pm nothing works. No connection at all. I have missed my favourite tv programmes, can’t access my business emails, i have lost a lot of business in the past during Covid time due to loss of connectivity. I have made several calls, once they came out changed wiring …sorry don’t know what its called. TBH it was just as good as doing nothing. That was last year October, this year I have made more than 20calls, some not answered. They send me a booster months ago, didn’t change anything. When I called was told its a wrong one and the right one was going to be send by next day delivery. This was 2months ago, guess what…still waiting! I had one of the customer service man tell me to go to office to use broadband if I can’t get it in my house! I was gobsmacked. I am paying for a service and expect to receive that service. I am considering OMBUDSMAN right now as I have had more than 6yrs of

After 20 years with sky we moved house and 3 weeks later sky have still not connected us with broadband. My husband has spent hours on the phone being passed to different people. We have been told we can’t cancel or move providers that there is an issue with open reach. BT have replied saying that could connect us and given a date why can’t sky. Updated today that Sky won’t honour previous contract and we need to take out more expensive new package. Very poor escalation and customer service.

Wish it was possible to give zero stars. Broadband has been utterly rubbish for months, and got worse in the last 5 weeks. Still has not been resolved. Getting passed from team to team. Customer services is a real joke, never give you an answer. Biggest mistake was taking the whole Sky package, will never again do that. When things go wrong, you really cannot rely on them to fix the issue. Its firstly your fault, then OpenReach, but never SKY. Utterly Useless.

Simply the worst customer service in the world. There was a problem with my connection Nov 20; it was all to do with open reach, but I had no wi fi. I was promised would be fixed by Xmas. It wasn’t! In the end I left Sky as they could not provide my address with wi fi; but they still keep billing me. I have phoned numerous times, numerous promises to sort but they still haven’t. Keep getting e mails and bills for a service I don’t have.
Avoid like it’s the plague, mixed with HIV and covid.

HOORAY! I'm finally free of Sky! I've nothing good to say about Sky other than I'm so glad I'm out of Contract with them and I ain't EVER going back! They provide an abysmal service which they keep increasing charges for. Anyone who is thinking of subscribing to Sky, do yourself a favour and DON'T! You'll thank me for it. Happy Days it's all over.

Sky Wifi is not the worst I have ever seen, but it comes close to it. It is the most unreliable broadband I have ever had, where sometimes I even have to use my phones mobile data in my own home because I cannot trust the broadband to deliver. If you are considering getting it please make sure you are aware of everything you are receiving, and do not be brainwashed by their advertisements.

Had a router problem after one or two issues finding the correct department.
Eventually I spoke to SHABANA at the technical office who was so very patient and efficient even phoned back when the line went dead, very impressed.

Don’t waste your money! Worst broadband I’ve ever had. No better than dial up! Costs £42 a month for sheer frustration in trying to watch anything online and only one device can be used or it can’t cope! Worst 18 months of my life! Totally useless! Not fit for purpose!

Absolutely appalling. Terrible customer service. Shockingly bad. Wanted to upgrade my broadband to faster speed. So far it’s taken 10 phone calls (and each time I’m given a different story) and 2 months and it’s STILL not been sorted out. And all the time I’m paying for broadband I’m not receiving and my mobile bills are Sky high as I’ve no wi fi. Please please please don’t get broadband with these clowns because if you do, you will be sorry. Time for me to contact Trading Standards I think....

The worst broadband I’ve had. Cannot watch TV for more than 5 mins without it pausing, often for a few minutes. Unable to efficiently work from home due to the broadband intermittently and repeatedly dropping off. Tied into a contract for 18 months but seriously thinking of ditching Sky and going with another.

Constantly says that the access point is temporarily full despite it being used by only a few devices;there have also been other reports of this from over a year ago yet sky haven't bothered fixing the issue. Even when it does work the loading speeds are incredibly slow.

Sky has so far been the best internet provider I’ve had in london. The setup was incredibly easy, we had no issues getting connected, and the internet connection is much faster and more reliable than Plusnet, which we most recently used. (I won’t even mention the horrendous experience we had with TalkTalk.)
I appreciate broadband quality can be very location-dependent, but in this part of north London I can honestly say Sky is fantastic.

The worst Internet provider in the UK. Inconsistent, slowest speed, worst service. This deserves no stars. The UK is a 1st world country whereas this provider is a 4th world country provider. I'd rather kill myself than use this WiFi ever again.

An extremely slow broadband and this is with the newly introduced Sky Q box.
Takes 20 seconds+ to get a page loaded - on a new computer - when it's currently being advertised as one of the best broadband companies in the country.
Prior to Covid, it'd take more than 2 hours just to get seen by a Customer Service Agent; sometimes they wouldn't even help.
Not reliable at all if you're trying to play games, search up something or do work.
Not satisfied at all with this, fix your broadband before promoting it!

Worst service in the UK, complete disergard for customers, incompetent engineers. It seems that in the year 2021 this company has no other excuse but "the pandemic" for the total loss of service caused by their fauly exchange. How many engineers do you need to fix the cabling at the exchange? Well... aprently not enough to identify the problem for a minimum of 10 days... at least according to sky...
Don't go anywhere near this provider or you'll find out the hard way how terrible they are, just as I did.

We switched to Sky and we were informed we could claim back out fees from previous provider if we switch. Despite 28 emails, using Sky’s complaints procedure and speaking with an advice, we have not received it. We only receive an irritating generic email. They also took money from our account without permission but later re-credited this. Once our contract is up, we’re leaving. It is impossible to get through to anyone to resolve issues.

Had no service for almost a week for 12 hours every day, had engineer visits cancelled because. They're. "not needed" with no other reason given even though I still have the problem and nothings been done to fix it... Constantly given the run around. This is actually awful service. The staff lie to you to try and make you stay and not CANCEL.DONT GO WITH SKY.
