I have joined up with sky I spoke to a woman first was promised a new sky box and my broadband would go live on the 5th October I did request for an eingineer to come to my property they said I will not need an engineer to come out as I can do it myself, the service I have recieved from the team has been unprofessional I have been cut off the phone speaking to an adviser and they are still charging me for a service I have not recieved!!! |

To be honest the sky tv is pretty good but the broadband is absolutley shocking. The phone line where you plug your router in isnt working and sky are refusing to send out an engenier and our swich on date was 24th feb its the 27th now and still no broadband yet in still being charged for it. You really need to fix your service sky. im begining to think virgin media is netter than this load of crap |

Wifi has been awful recently, always get lag when playing games even with second highest wifi speed. So unreliable it’s a joke. Even have to use 4G ! |

1/5. Sky can be used to google things. Online gaming , stream watching or streaming is not available because of unstable connection. 50ms-10k ms online gaming.... |

Absolutely disgraceful of Sky as per usual cancelled 5 months ago and been out of the country to come back to see they've continued to direct debit money from my account due to a "system error". Plenty of history with Sky where I've had packages cancelled but continued to have my money taken out from my account. Pitiful and no forthcoming sense of apology. I'm a contractor and the 30mins I've been on the phone (and still am) has equated to £60 loss of earnings. Not only has Sky wrongly taken my money, the cost me further money by wasting time on the phone. Absolutely apoplectic with the company's blasè attitude and exasperated to have conversations like this AGAIN. Shameful of Sky. Wouldn't recommend Sky to anyone. |

Terrible. Just plain terrible. Stick with BT. Writing this using Sky. It took forever to even get to this page. |

my broadband speed has gone down from 11Mb with BT to 4.7Mb with Sky. So am I happy? |

Absolutely appalled by the customer service. Been with the company 18-19 years had all the stuff and pay over the odds to have it. One month where we have asked for help and they have not even tried to help. Do not recommend. |

Do not get. Wifi is very slow and it looses connection very easily. Not reliable at all. |

After being 15 months a sky customer paying for my landline and broadband connection, after having changed 6 filters and having complained a dozen times for a slow or no internet connection, sky asked me to pay £65 for an engineer visit or free engineer visit but with a new 12 month contract! The worse blackmail I have had during my 57 years of life. What is next? |

Slow as anything. Takes to long to connect |

| Darren | Sky | 2018-11-16 | ||
It has good speed when it is working but it drops out ALOT. Also, when a family member walks into the hub room, I get a loose connection. I’m quite sure that my family are NOT electric. |

Appalling. I had broadband, well below the promised speed. By the time they did anything about it I had moved. Given a date for activation - nothing happened. I kept phoning and being given new dates - no change. Never use this company. |

Garbage provider, i`ve had Sky for 3 days and its completely garbage.. Ping keeps spiking from 50 to 2000. Sometimes works fine, however most of the time i can barely surf internet. No chance of playing online games either cause if pings spikes. I don`t even know what im supposed to pay for.. |

Broadband speeds used to be 11mb, but 5 months ago, it slowed right down to less than 2mb and kept cutting out intermittently. We've had a new router, sky engineers and BT engineers out. Nobody can figure out what the problem is. It has taken months to get to this stage and I was told I would get a a refudn for our troubles. Now they have told me they will only refund the £10 cost for the broadband. Not the line rental even thought we only have the line for the internet. We don't even have a phone. And even though we have not been able ot use any of the on demand services and films etc that we pay for as they require the internet. Don't trust this scamming company. They are scum. |

The least reliable broadband service I’ve used before. Goes down a lot more frequently than any other I’ve used in the past. Once down takes a long time to come back up. |

Sky customer service is appaling. I have never dealt with a worse company in my life. Waited in on the 26th of August for five hours for our engineer to show up which they never did. Didn't even phone to let us know they were not coming or why. We phoned and they said they would book us in for a new installation date. Turns out we have to wait a further 3 weeks to get internet. Have phoned repeatedly to try and get an earlier date to which we are told that is the next available day and that they cannot do anything. They would not even put me through to the manager. Would NOT recommend going with SKY!!!! |

I think Sky is the worst provider ever.They have not fixed my broadband problem. They send engineers who do not know how to fix things. They dont communicate to the engineers beforehand what kind of problem the client has. You have to wait ages to talk to an agent on the phone. What a horrible service!!!! |

As much as I can't stand BT, you can at least guarantee a quick resolve of your issue. Sky on the other hand are an absolute joke. I contacted them to say my broadband wasn't working and was given a 5 day repair and,if I wanted, which I told them to shove, £2 compensation. The problem with sky is they have to go begging to BT to resolve the issue and BT really don't give a f%ck. So if you don't want to use BT try one of the cheaper suppliers because their backup are every bit as good, if not better than sky. |

Worst WiFi I’ve ever experienced it only works when sitting in the room it’s in and it’s still slow and the advert saying it can be reached all over the house is rubbish! Don’t recommend! |

Sky is the biggest waste of money and a huge rip off they promised 12mbs and me and my family are getting 500kbs and 2 rooms don't even get wifi can't wait to leave this heap of rubbish |

This internet is a joke. |

Sky Internet has to be the most appallingly slow peice of s**t out there. Wish we had gone with Virgin media, much much faster than this so called broadband. |
| |||
| Charlie Barrett | Sky | 2014-12-17 | ||
don't bother with this its absolute garbage. switched from EE WISH I HAD NOT BOTHERED. Its so slow its painful. also says it will reach every room. I only have a ground floor property it will not even reach to the far end of the building. |
| |||
| MARK V | Sky | 2020-03-24 | ||
Do not believe what Sky tells you they fail to deliver ANYTHING that they promise. My phone line has not worked properly since I switched to Sky and they are not interested in solving your issues. It has been three months now and it is still the same and unusable. They have sent two engineers to take a look and both of them said there is nothing they can do and that they sent the wrong person. I strongly advise against switching to Sky. |

Amazingly bad customer service and overall rubbish broadband issues. I don't think they could provide a worse service if they tried. |
| |||
| sharon | Sky | 2017-09-27 | ||
Awful lagged out over 25 times in 1 hour today someday it is even worse. Don't get sky it is a waste of your money and you can save money and get BT or Virgin. |
| |||
| Harvey | Sky | 2016-09-10 | ||
Worlds worst WiFi I could literally get a can of baked beans and create a better broadband I will constantly lag and it can barely look YouTube videos do not get this trust me it’s trash |
| |||
| Tom agliolo | Sky | 2020-05-14 | ||
Not even worthy of one star. The wifi box is outside my bedroom and I can't access the wifi any where in my room or any where else in the house apart from next to the wifi box. Sky is way to expensive for the service they're providing and I am disgusted at the lack of help and lack of manners at sky customer service. This has been going on for 2 years and I'm hopefully switching to a different supplier because sky is a joke. NEVER SIGN UP FOR SKY. |

| Katie | Sky | 2017-01-30 | ||
Very unreliable, overcharging you without telling you and with out any explanation, very un-profesional customer services (Himy), would never recommend it to anyone |

broadband to my flat poached by engineers on 2 separate occasions from flats below me. On second occasion called sky who assured me it would be fixed. They refused to send out an engineer on the weekend but sent 1 out regardless on a weekday on 2 separate occasions when I was at work?!! 4 engineers & 2 months later & problem not fixed but assured by sky that I will be reimbursed for my monthly spendage - finally engineer fixed it with a simple solution & when I requested reimbursement for the £84 I was spending each month was told that they would only give me 1 weeks reimbursement because I wasn't around for the 1st engineer!! |

Awful customer service, rude arrogant. Consistent lies, I know about IT and network speeds as I work in the IT industry myself. When reporting issues with speed I was told it is our problem deal with it. complete refusal to do anything, so at the moment we are paying £45 a month for half the speed we should be getting. Soon as contract is up, we will be leaving for another provider. Shockingly bad!!! |

We have had an ongoing issue with our sky broad band for about 3 months. Internet had been on and off. Sometimes off for days at a time. After numerous calls to sky...recently everyday the issue is still to be resolved. We have been instructed to buy a new router which did not work then 2 days later a engineer and now a week later they want us to pay for another engineer to come out. We are paying for broad band and on demand services which cannot be used. Id advise using another provider if you want any reliability and to save money. |

Literally the most pathetic excuse for an internet provider you could ever be scammed into a package for. The speed of the internet is entirely unpredictable but nontheless it takes 20 minutes to download 1GB files which is pathetic by today's standards, the connection itself is iffy too, you never know if you'll be able to keep a consistent ping to anything and whether or not you'll be able to watch the minimum acceptable video quality (720p) sometimes it even buffers on 144p. What happened to "no buffering" sky?. virgin media is better in every single way, it is more reliable in terms of the speed of the internet (in my opinion it eclipses the sky packages) only taking an average of 5 minutes to download much bigger files than sky could manage in an hour. all in all, Don't waste your time with sky and find a better provider because it is disgustingly bad. |
