Had no wifi now for over a week and I am told by customer service that it will be another 3 days. meanwhile I am spending a fortune on data for my phone to use it as a hotspot. Truly useless - though they will blame Open Reach as always.

Very rubbish, I would give it <1 If I could. It is a absolute scam! Rip off! Jailtime! Bad quality for a ridiculously high price not worth a single penny.

Like so many on here that have been ripped off by Sky, I thought I'd add my story and review this tin-pot outfit.
No-end of drop outs once they put me on their 'superfast fibre' superfast my arse it is. I was first on 59 mb package and lucky if I had 36 to 40 and that was on a CAT 6 direct to the router. I called their, well, what they have they nerve to call 'customer service' and they were useless! This was over a period of 8 months of no-end of drop outs and poor speeds. In the end I took my complaint to CISAS and I would everyone who has an issue with Sky, TAKE THEM TO CISAS, they were very good indeed, backed my claim for compensation and I was now dealing with dedicated Sky complaints dept. Oh yes, their services are that crap they actually have a dedicated dept to deal with their shoddy service.
I'm currently trying to get the media and BBC's Rip off Britain involved as now they have upgraded me as I wanted to leave them. They put me on 152 Mb fibre to which I average 62Mb on wi fi and 79 to 82Mb on a CAT 6 direct to the router, it's utterly rubbish! To get anywhere near 152 Mb you'd need to be on 500 Mb. With SKY you never get what they charge you for. if you want a 60 Mb fibre package you need to sign up for the 152 Mb to get close.
Whatever you do, don't bother dealing with the Derby 1 centre, what a bunch of clowns they are there; absolute idiots! When I asked Sharma to put me through to her line manager she went away, came back and said the manager does not want to speak with you. The call was recorded so, go on Sky, I dare you, put that conversation online for everyone to hear the conversation and how your operatives lie and conduct themselves.
We have all seen the advert for EE broadband where the machine shaves a guy using a blade on their fibre network to shave a guy on the mountain. You've also seen the one where they land a plane from someone's lounge with a 100 devices connected. Trust me, you'd never want an open blade or ever want to be on a plane using Sky's fibre broadband, OMG what a joke. You'd either get your throat cut, or the plane would nose dive!
I'm about to file another complaint with CISAS and this time I'm done with these cowboys. I shall get my credits that I'm due and NEVER-EVER use Sky ever again!
How these cowboys can operate in the UK and rip people off like this, it's just a joke!
Sky is old hat now, their technology is draconian, there are much better companies. If you can get it, go with Hyperoptic or Gigaoptic they have over 15,000 5 star reviews.

This is the worst broadband and company so far. They will charge you for service you are not enjoying. My broadband is not working and they said I would have to wait for when the engineer will be available and I will still have to pay for the period the broadband is not working. And they agreed the fault is from their side. I will never advise anyone to subscribe to sky

The speed is quite low, but okay given its not fiber broadband, of course with all the ups and downs during the period. I got lots of disconnections during my contract.
However this is not the worse part.
I received an email from sky , 1 month before my 18 months contract was going to an end, saying that i would be moved to a rolling contract automatically, unless i would cancel. Fair enough.
Well, i decided to cancel, like most of the people have done, after trying sky.
They didnt like this and tried hard to give me a better offer to stay, but i had made my mind. What was reduculous is that They even called my wife to change my mind. Still, i canceled.
Even though icanceled they still charged me for the next 2 months, even more that i was paying before.
I have called them so many time and wasted so mu h time on the phone with them to get an explanation and refund me.
Anytime i would call they would give me a different explanation, like it was a glitch in the system and your cancellation is still in pending, the second one lied to me that i would get the refund automatically by the end of the month -never happened and they charged me again, the third one told me that the refund needs to be done manually. Its been almost 3 months that i have cancelled my contract and i havent receved my refund yet.
Please save your money and do not go with sky. There are much better contractors over there than sky. I am still waiting on my refund and they keep lying. Pathetic.
