Absolute rubbish. Nothing but trouble since day one. Even bought a new router with a booster to get internet in one room and nothing... over priced and underwhelmed. Best place is the bin.

When I had a sky broadband contract I was getting a download speed of approx 13mbps and an upload speed of .75...then when my contract was up it dropped to 2/5mbps and upload of .2/.35 ???? strange that! I have noticed in previous years exactly the same would happen. I contacted Sky who said there was a problem on the line and they would send an OpenReach engineer out, I stated clearly that I would not be put automatically into a new contract if they sent someone out. The engineer arrived two days later and proceeded to check the router, phone system and line....guess what? nothing wrong at all, when I told him of my suspicions about Sky dropping the broadband speed to get me into another contract he didn't confirm it but said "you need to be having a word with Sky again"... so all infall the ******** are dropping peoples download speed to get them into another contract!!! I live about half a mile from the exchange so they cannot use that excuse; I am now swapping provider who tested my line and said I would get 76mbps and 28mbps upload...guaranteed 65mbps and 20mbps upload respectively !! I would have given sky 0 in all areas but one star was the minimum, I will never ever use Sky again..too big to fall Eh?.

Stay Clear from them, they seems to be in panic mode after BT sport and all this internet TV and running Fraud Offers in there website.
I ordered Fibre broadband online and then via webchat confirred with their chat guy about £75 M&S voucher for new connection, however after activation its been 45 days no sign of voucher, when I called they are saying its only with Broadband not with Fibre, clear lie on the face of it, I will leave as soon as my contract ends.

Worst internet I ever had.... constantly dropdowns, ping scales like crazy from 100 to 500+ ALL the time! Have to reboot the router almost everyday.. sometimes a few times a day... I'll move to another provider as soon as possible!

Had sky tv and internet installed 11 months ago. Within 2 months the box stopped working properly and had to be changed. Been fine since although we have been unable to purchase any films, including the free one offered at Christmas! However, the broadband has been unreliable from day one and the issues have yet to be resolved. Have had numerous engineers out. Each one blames someone else. The internet connection kept dropping so eventually it was slowed down so much that it is now almost unuseable! It solved the problem of it dropping but at times we can't even put a photo on FB as the signal is too weak. Tried to watch a film on catch up tv and it took 8 hours to download to the box.
Over the last 11 months we have been promised various things.... free line rental until the problem is resolved, for instance. Yesterday sky rang me to offer a £7 discount. This was raised to half price line rental for the next 3 months (£28) but I would have to sign up for another year. Now WHY would I do that? Have had unreliable and slow internet since being with them and they think I'm going to stay? NOT A CHANCE!!!!

If you have an elderly or vulnerable friend or family member who subscribe to SKY Broadband, phone or TV, please read the following, and check their subscription costs, as SKY have totally abused an 83-year-old lady with high pressure selling to engorge their profits.
Facts about SKY telesales team, they cold-called her and sold her the following:
• Superfast fibre broadband, when she has no smart phone, laptop or any internet device.
• An expensive bouquet of extra TV channels when she only watches terrestrial Freeview TV.
• A SKY Q box when she only has a 720 resolution TV: Total Package £77 per month
More facts about SKY:
• They charge twice as much as their own subsidiary, NOW TV, for the same service.
• When you try to leave, they lie, saying you cannot keep your phone number.
• They offer better deals to complete strangers on U-Switch than they do to loyal customers.
• They refuse to answer letters.
• They will not provide copy invoices, or even their own address for serving legal papers.
• They have no policy to protect the elderly or vulnerable.
My advice would be to avoid this company, they are about as relevant as Blockbuster, and have no moral compass when it comes to exploiting the vulnerable.

I’d like to make you aware that I have started to live blog my sky chats to show the world what I’ve had to put up with. Details of how to find the blog will be put here soon.
I’ve had sky broadband problems for the last 20 weeks and counting and sky just keep prolonging it. sky claims to go above and beyond to satisfy customers but in my case that doesn’t seem like it includes me.
I was speaking to Ashley the so called sky expert this morning who refused to log the poor customer service as a complaint and went on to say that what I consider a complaint is not something that sky consider to be a complaint.

I wish i could give no Stars. These guys will rip you off. I joined in February for telephone and broadband, had an engineer come over in late evening after a week delay . After fiddling with the wires, he told me that there is a problem with the connection and he will contact his sky team. After getting juggled around with appointment makings and dates to be set. 3 weeks after my initial installtion period, i call in to find out what is happening only to find that my package order was cancelled. Dont even think about joining them. Please for your own time sake, dont waste your time joining them. Please.

Pathetic speed and reliability. They say its because we are using wifi but the that is the whole point of a wireless device surely. It looses connection when we are sitting in front of the hub and you have no chance in the other rooms.

Worst broadband and worst customer service. They talking nice but doing nothing. Strength of network is extremely weak and eve a glass door would block the signal entering the next room. Customer service extremely unreliable. Always need to spent over long time on the phone to resolve issue and in the end they said from our side everything is f9 may something wrong in your bouse. Silly reson they give, once they told me because of your cordless you are not getting speed and signel. So i removed it for whole month and same problem then they said may be your house structure causing. I always asked them to send engginer but they never send one. Fact is they not providing engg service, everything over phone and if problem doesnt resolve on phone then they give silly resone like above. Waste of time, money and nerves. Would not recommend their services to anyone!
Satisfaction 0 Stars
Speed 0 Stars
Reliability -100 stars
Customer service -100 star
the speed is terrible slow. cant open even a you tube video, takes ages. Their team is useless,
Once you get trap i contract after that.......
VERY DISAPPOINTED

Very intermittent service, and several outages (including one lasting weeks) lead me to give sky zero stars.
Their customer service is appalling, sometimes with wait times in excess of 30 mins. This makes it very difficult to notify them of problems, which works in their favour as they then refuse to credit the account beyond the date they log the call. Having spoken to several customer service operatives, every time they are incredibly slow because their systems take forever to refresh. Don't trust an ISP whose own systems don't work properly!
Very poor service from a very poor provider.

This is an advise to everyone that decide to joint to SKY please avoid this company their customer service is awful and SKY is totally and completely in breach of the customer rights. They prevent my migration with another company despite no outstanding debts were due. Employees at the customer centre are very impertinent and are there to generate troubles to customers

Rubbish customer service. I went to Southside shopping centre in Wondsworth london to know the offers but a customer service assistant was very rude and doesn't bother to sell a package to me. Sky need to hire a good customer service assistant not like a rude guy in southside

Review based on ADSL connection and not fibre as not in the area.
Impossible to use reliably as drops out connection regularly
Diabolical speed any more than two devices and it’s like a 56k dial-up connection.
Easier to contact an MI5 agent than speak to a Sky customer service agent.
Have given this feedback direct to Sky and nothing from them not even an acknowledgment. Awful money grabbing company.
Can’t wait for my contract to end and be out of this misery.

AVOID AVOID AVOID. If you don't want to have a lots of headache please avoid this company. When Icontracted sky for the first needed to wait 2 weeks to have broad band and talk to be settled, sky told engineering doesn't need to come it was a self installation, 3 days after due date still have no Internet and talk and I found sky settled landline in a wrong flat. I contacted sky and was told me that I have to cancel and place a new order and that what I did, and needed to wait more two weeks to install, yesterday I received a text from sky telling me to stay at home because engineering is supost to come, so I stayed at home all day waiting and 6pm I received a text from sky telling me that I've to arrange another date because engineering couldn't access the property. I called sky after waiting 33min in a queue somebody told that I need to wait more 5 or 6 days to have my installation done, when I started to complain about all this mess the sky attendant just desconected my call. After a month I still no have broadband and landline. Please listen my advise and run from sky.

Sky cancelled the order, without telling us and leaving us waiting for 2 weeks. Then we had to place order again... We had to contact Sky for this, they did not contact us.
More than 2 weeks later, after placing another order and internet due to be activated on ##/11/15, still no activation the next day.
No contact from Sky on both occasions to explain why we have not been activated or why the service we are paying for is not on.
Over 1 month with no internet, which has caused problems with work and cost us far more money than the service costs.
Will not recommend Sky to anyone, quite the opposite.

Sky was great when we had an expensive package but we wanted to remove the TV package from our deal (when it expired) and 2 weeks later they turned off our WiFi! They said it got turned off when removing the TV package and this is rubbish as it has been 2 weeks since the TV package worked. Been told I had to wait 1 week til Internet could be reinstated for me (I have sky Q) because they had to set me up again and I had to wait til then with no Internet and no effort to retain me as a customer. Not good enough considering it's apparently their error and they aren't fixing it. Cancelled and moving!!

Not good at all, quoted an average of 5mbps although apparently can go up to 17mbps. The actual average I get is 450kbps so 0.45mpbs the highest I have had is 0.8mbps. Although I pay £70 per month I tried to solve the issue by phoning sky but they said oh well you can leave your contact if you pay a cancellation fee. Instead of trying to actually solve it

The worst internet and service I ever experienced. When we moved in we applied for internet and tv. Noone came to set up tv and after 3 months when tv already was canceled even not tried, they suddenly say that we owe them for tv. Now internet is not working few days even if it's paid. We tried to reconnect and reach for their help. But their chat is unbelievable. They disappear in the middle of the conversation. Better to chose something else, because even when internet was working, it was unstable, very slow. We are only two users. Very disappointing.

Absolutely shocking customer service. Am moving home and called through on Sunday, 3rd June about my Sky broadband and what would happen about moving to a new property who were about to install Sky. Was told that if the new property was going onto Sky, that my contract could be cancelled with no early termination charges even though I was still in contract. Confirmed twice with the customer services operator Paul and he stated that was correct. Well that was an utter lie apparently, as when I called today to cancel my Sky contract as the new property is now with Sky, was told I was liable for £58 cancellation fee. If I had known, we wouldn't have got Sky installed last week (had already arranged the engineer). Utterly shocking that customers are told one thing and when they take it at face value are hit with a significant charge later. Won't be recommending Sky to anyone! Such bad customer advice!

No complaints procedure OTHER THAN LOG IT AND CLOSE IT!!! DISGUSTING ..Determined to 'screw' every last penny from customers!
It's all in my title, have left and will not be joining again, poor service expensive and terrible customer experience. JUST DON'T JOIN! THERE ARE MUCH BETTER SERVICES WHERE THE PROVIDER WANTS TO PROVIDE A GOOD EXPERIENCE!
No allowances for disability except a fob off, talks about disability law 2010 with little understanding giving back stock answers! No reasonable adjustment made at all, in fact no adjustment made at all as required in law!
By the way, this is the first time I have left a review such as this!

Truly truly hopeless. Customer service is an absolute joke, and "broadband" speed lucky if it's over 0.2mb. A year I put up with unusable Internet.
Router you get supplied is not good, also using out date components. Take your money elsewhere.

my experience with sky was outrageous and disappointing ..my first issue with sky was that my home telephone was down for 2 months and I reported 3 times and they resolved the issue but they charged me for the service which I did not receive. I will definitely cancel the contract as soon as possible!

Awful broadband customer service. Tried to join sky but they failed to get an engineer round on day of installation. Repeatedly called over 3 weeks but they wouldn't get another one out. Eventually they said only way to get me broadband was to cancel the service. Obviously I went with another provider.
However they still debited me for the broadband, and it took weeks to get them to refund it.
Not only that, they are now trying to charge me £122 for early exit fee! Joke.
Terrible company and terible customer service, AVOID

Been with sky almost a decade and have got to the point feeling immense hate for the company.
Decided to take their deal in November 2022 of Superfast for 28 pounds per month for 18 months and 34 per month after and not even a year in I'm now paying 42 per month.
How that is possible or even legal is beyond me.
Customer service (like they have any) is awful.
Website just takes you round in circles.
You can DM them on Facebook apparently because that is so professional.
Good luck getting an engineer out.
As for the broadband itself. It's laughable.
One day I can download an Xbox game at 40mbs the next day 1mbs or sometimes less.
I have to reset the router almost daily.
So if you want zero rewards for loyalty, zero customer service and completely unreliable broadband and stress every damn day All while being over charged to almost double what you sign up for choose these idiots.

Allegedly I have fibre, but constantly suffering with buffering and sometimes I can't get online at all. Customer services were useless. Will not be using Sky again when contract is up. No wonder you have to sign an 18 month contract, it's the only way they can keep their customers!!

It’s honestly the worst internet hands down, every 15 minutes keep turning itself off and on then when you get online it’s say you have internet but you don’t.
In my opinion just don’t even bother with sky internet, save your money go with somebody who will give you what you paying for!!!
