    Absolutely terrible! Would not recommend to anyone, especially families with teenagers as they're never off the internet. The speed is shocking, and when phoning to ask for help they seem to defend their company instead of trying to help. Useless.

    I moved from Virgin to Sky 6 months ago. Virgin's speeds were fantastic and I knew that Sky were going to be slower; particularly as they could only offer me 12-16Mbps. "That's okay" I thought, "I'm not a heavy user". WRONG! I rarely get above 8Mbps and can't download something on the laptop while my fiancee watches Netflix. It's incredible. I've had to complain three times where the customer service team; who are nice and friendly, try to do everything they can to fix the issue. The problem is - THEY DON'T FIX IT! I'm now about to push them to let me out of my contract early for not providing the service I requested. For anyone else having the same issue, I encourage you to do the same.

    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....

    Having been a sky tv customer for 2 years now we decided to change our broadband to the same package. The internet provided however was hopelessly slow, compared to virgin which we used before. The customer service team were extremely rude when phoning up to try & cancel my contract and I was basically bullied into not being able to cancel. I then requested they do anything they can to speed up my internet which is too slow to even load netflix at the moment. No speed up has happened what so ever and i'm at a bit of a loss what to do till i can get this awful company straight out of my home.

    The Sky InterNOT is the worst broadband service which we have had to suffer at this address. For the past three months Sky have proved either unwilling or unable to rectify this unsatisfactory situation.
    We have now changed to the Three Mifi mobile broadband service which is simply MAGIC! The bonus being that we can also use it while traveling too, for instance in France or Spain we do not have to pay any more than here in the UK. Furthermore, it costs us less than half that of the SkyInterNOT per month.
    Surely a win, win situation, yes?

    Stay very clear if sky broadband! Thus is the second time i have had an issue with there broadband; i was with them 5 years ago and changed broadband because it didnt work at all thus leaving me internetless for 6 months before they could give me a "solution" whitch as youve might of guessed didnt work. I then went to BT and they were absolutly fabulous it only dropped out once in the whole year! Now i have gone back to sky because they gave me a deal; i now pay over £60+ a month on tv and broadband and 5 years on they still havent learnt from their mistakes and their customer service is still a gastly as before! THE INTERNET DROPS OUT EVERY DAY! im lucky to be able to connect for an hour each day before it stops working. The wifi is also terrible, i can be in the same room as the router and still only get 1 bar. This is disgracfull expesally when i pay £60+ a month. Im defenatly goinv back to BT becayse worst of all sky wobt compansate me and say "tgey cant do anything" when iv been troble free with BT for 4 years with ZERO complaints. Futhermore, this effcts my sky tv because when i want to chill and go on demand to download a movie it cant download because the internet is utterly, utterly and utterly poor!

    It's not broadband: typically less than 1 Mbps. The customer support is just a cycle of ineffective time wasters to wear you down and make you give up. Don't go near this company: total rip off

    been with sky broadband for a year and have to say it is excellent,never losing connection once.maybe the fact that I live a few hundred yards from the exchange may have something to do with it.am switching to fibre unlimited on 22nd june,looking forward to it

    I would not recommend to anyone. As somebody said before - thieves!!I have been with them for a while and then started not having connections very slow speed...etc... after so many calls to them I cancelled my contract, everything was supposed to be sorted and the last payment was supposed to be taken in May. They took money in June....
    Waiting on line for 40 mins to speak to someone who said can`t help!
    This company is a joke!!!!!
