Worst company ever

Add ons upsetting no morals. a rip off worst broadband I've ever known also. Most of it is the golden oldies.My bank said if I'm not happy with their service I can cancel they can't do anything about it and they can't charge me any money.

Utter rubbish service!!

Broadband dropping intermittently, tried all the automated bot systems and going around in circles with no help whatsoever. It’s as though the system is designed to stop you getting through to someone who might be able to help. Absolutely appalling customer service!!!

Don’t bother, they increase your bill even if you’re a new customer

I have only been with them six months and they’ve already sent me a notification that they’re going to increase my bill by £3 a month which I didn’t think they would be allowed to do within the first 12 months if I had known, I wouldn’t of changed from Bt as I am now paying more with sky then I was with them as soon as my contract ends in October I’m leaving.

They get you in at cheap prices, then put them up.

I joined Sky Broadband in September 2020 at an address in Kent. There was a big problem getting connected which was Openreach not having available infrastructure. Eventually it settled down and we had a good stable connection until we moved in March 2022 to a different address in Kent. They handled the move well. Again we had a good stable connection.
Then the price rises started. They were always higher than those for new customers, which is unfair. They kept adding until they wanted £40 a month for 16Mbit/Sec download and 1.6Mbit/sec upload. I asked them for a better deal but they couldn't do anything better.
So I switched to another company. When they saw I was serious, they offered me 2 years at £24 a month (with small print saying those prices could rise). They told me what a valued customer I was!
I decided Sky had tried to overcharge me once too many times and left them in March 2025.
They provided good stable connection. They wanted to charge more than it was worth. Customer service was good.

A Good Day at the Office

On 16/1/25, an Openreach engineer paid us a visit to install fibre broadband, and the rest is history:Our world stopped. Rob visited us from Sky on 28/1/25, and gave us light! He was professional, attentive, and talked us through the work he had completed. He proved that, without good communication, it is almost impossible to provide good service delivery. Our fibre broadband is now up, and working as it should!

My sky broadband keeps intermittent…

My sky broadband keeps intermittent cutout buffering booked engineer to come and look ,did not show up.but said on the app been,
Tried to rebook again unable so had to ring again engineer booked said been still a problem, again rang sky spoke he said I look into it and found sky booking system was rejecting the booking from openreach, he the spoke to open reach to confirm the booking again still waiting.
Spoke to tech support who said openreach have been i asked to check there end and she confirmed i still have a problem.
Sky are happy to take money from us,but are absolutely disgusting to repair the fault.
If you miss the appointment you are then asked to pay £35 to rebook them again it should be them paying us for not attending.

A nightmare

I wish I'd seen the reviews before installing, they say it all. It's an absolute disgrace of a service, with the worst customer support I've encountered. They charge you for things they don't deliver, increase prices ridiculously, and is the worst nightmare to cancel.
Please avoid at all costs.

SKY broadband service is terrible.

SKY broadband service is terrible.
I contacted technical support multiple times after activation on 11 November 2024, but issue did not resolve.
Support person behaving rudely.
Open reach device was faulty and i asked to book service engineer and he never arrived after escalating on 25 November 2024.
I had to investigate and troubleshoot myself. I found power adapter was faulty which i reported on the day of activation itself, device itself is not firm to wall.
Since no service engineer arrived i had to take another power adapter and cut the wire to match connecter.
Today again i called support engineer and asked to book service engineer visit.

Not a Happy Bunny

Moved to a new house just before Christmas. They couldnt do my home move until mid Jan. Turned up 11th, couldnt get it working, came again on the 14th and that guy didnt even know he was coming to fix a problem. Spent 90 minutes on the phone to technical support and now they say the problem is Openreach's problem and they are coming back. They have been twice and said the rest was up to Sky. Bought SKY Q as an early adopter and wish I hadnt bothered now. Limited to the amount of users and if you dont have a terrestial aerial as well half the family are mullered. Shame they dont have Virgin in my area!!

Poor technical support.

I have frequent Broadband disconnections for nearly 3 months on Sky.
Technical support are incompetent to resolve the problem. Sky broadband web site hardly works. NOT RECOMMENDED.
