Worst. There was an incident when the internet went out and my sis in law called Sky. They - according to our contract- was supposed to send a person out to fix any issues, however in order to qualify for that we had to open up the router and check for issues. So i opened up the router and started explaining what I was saying to the guy and pressing here and there to solve the issue. This is my first source of complaint because not everyone knows how to open up a router. When my sis in law was told to do that she got furious, and was lucky I was able to step in.
The next problem we experienced was now- the winter time. The internet would literally for the whole day go out completely. It's connection is horrible as well. My phone cannot connect to the router either.
My friends in the area in Barking are also experiencing the same issue. For me it seems that it doesn't suit my area, but having looked at the comments here i can see it is an issue with the product itself. Appalling. And i have to wait for my contract to end in April!

I applied for Sky when I moved into my new place. With the excitement of having a big company as a Broadband provider.
When transferring the line over they found a fault and told me an engineer would have to come the next day when I was working the next day. I called up Plusnet to see if there was a fault on the line and was told there was no fault (This was lie 1).
So I cancelled my contract before I could be mugged off by this company they said I would have a FULL refund in 3-5 working days. After this time I recieved no money back from them and told them I would get the money back my October and there is no chance of doing this earlier. I did tell them I was promised I would get it back within a couple of days. (This was lie 2), in the embarrassment they said they would try and do it within two weeks.
Two weeks came. I called them up and they said it will come by the 17th September but apparently as I owe them a bill payment in advanced and bearing in mind I have not used their Broadband service one bit I would be only entitled to the £6 which is an insult (lie 3).
To add insult to injury I have spent a lot of money using my 4G network on my phone. I have to check my emails from work on my phone. I told Sky this and the agent said I was only entitled to use Sky for personal use when its up to me what I do with my broadband. I told this agent that I would take them to court if I do not get the money back and he did not seem to care or take the matter further. In fact I asked to speak to a manager and he told me I would have to wait 24 hours before I could speak to one when I have spoke to managers from Sky straight away previously (lie 4).
AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE. LIE, AFTER LIE, AFTER LIE JUST TO MAKE MONEY.

I recently relocated from Darlington to Barnard Castle County Durham so I had to switch from Virgin Media to SKY (SKY fibre Max). Online SKY assured me that I would receive between 57 & 79 Mbs bb speed; I only receive an average of 40 Mbs! After complaining to SKY they sent out an 'Openreach' engineer to check my phone line-both inside the property & from the property to the BT cabinet & he stated that the phone line could not provide a bb speed any faster than 47 Mbs. As I stated previously, I was originally with Virgin Media for 20+ years & over the past two years I was assured of receiving 200 Mbs bb speed-yes, 200 Mbs & guess what, I received 200 Mbs bb speed!

Have been with Sky for several years now, but moved away as they were no longer competative for me. Have just received a letter several months later saying I owe them money and if not settled in 10 days they will refer to a collection agency. NO money was owed. How many people would have just of paid the £59.00? A Sky scam or what?!

Speed depends on the package you take but customer service and incompetence of the team from Sky and Open reach to get things right the first time around is shocking. Lots of training needed there, poor Management overall it seems.

Sky are by far the worst I have ever dealt with. I usually don't write reviews but this company were exceptionally bad so I felt I had the need to.
I set up a date with Sky to install my internet, I waited 2 weeks and took the day off work only for them to not show up. I was proactive enough to call them several times before the installation date to confirm they were still coming and each time they said yes. Either they have a terrible system in place or they have very incompetent workers. An hour after they were supposed to arrive I spent 1 hour on the phone only to be told an engineer was never supposed to come out. Taking into account the money I lost from not going into work plus the many phone calls i made to them, I made a very big loss indeed. I decided to go with Talk Talk who have given me a detailed description of when they plan to arrive and what date my router will be here. I will never again go to Sky and I will never recommend this company to anybody.

Been with sky for over 20 years been a loyal customer never missed any payments on any months for the whole 20years.
2 years ago BT informed me that fiber broadband was open to my home. I contacted sky and taken out the fastest broadband and a new TV service with them to revive nothing but trouble with the broadband dropping out and not working, having to rest all the broadband up to 3 times a day some days. I contacted sky and they refused to give me a new router and my mum herself had to pay for a new box out of her own money Evan though we was still in the 18 month contact (2 months in). The contract is up for a renewal and we have cancelled the TV services due to no used to pay for it. We paid 75 pounds per month for broadband and TV. We then got quoted 45 pound for broadband services alone, I find this unfair and not loyal to a customer that was been with for over 20 years. Other customer I know had the brand new sky Q 4 boxes, full tv packages, and fiber broadband all for 80 pounds per month. Sky's have no loyalt to their existing customer what so ever. The customer services is very poor and the manger I spoke to called Donna is the rudest person to speak to and wouldn't advise anyone to talk to her. Sky is terrible and their service and customer services I've very poor aswell!! Stay away people... my policy is now cancelled and won't be going back to them. Moving provides. Hope no one else experiencing this.

I have spent the last three days with the Internet light on my router either static orange, flashing orange or out altogether. I have tried calling Sky for help and following their advice but nothing. They simply don't seem interested in doing anything about my problem of none or a minute of internet before its down again. I'm at my wits end as we are paying for a service we're not getting.

Never had anything but amazing service, and so much better than Talktalk was. Constantly receiving over 30meg download and no sign of slowing. My only criticism is the rubbish router, but you can get around that by bridging in your own :)

My sky broadband is now getting to a point where it goes down 2 to 3 times a day every day - my family complains every day that the internet is down,,, ping from my son as he says ,,,my son plays online gaming
already had a new box hub from sky as the new one broke down no fault of ours - sky did say the box in broke wont cost me anything - im paying for well over 5 to 8 devices to run the fastest sky internet but now I have 5months till contract ends and I will be moving back to virgin - had enough of sky - paying over the odds - for less fast internet - also found out by my bank statement that they have put my monthly payments up without even informing me first yet being contracted myself I thought that they couldnt break there contract with me with what I had agreed to pay with them and myself breaking my contract with them as I agreed of £27 a month and now its £29 a month dont know why as my internet hasnt been working properly or I havent been getting the correct speed since being with sky

Most unstable internet I've ever used. Having used Sky, Virgin and BT, Sky has been the worst. Connection always drops and the range doesn't leave one room. Customer service is great and the social media response is great. It's a shame they have to rely on bad tech.

The last 8 months i've had sky have been shocking, I have no end of problems, internet is always going down. I had an engineer out 4 times, the first one replaced new wires inside and it didn't work the second replaced wires outside and crossed the wires and we ended up with nothing. The third fixed the mistake and the fourth came out to the property and said we need a router, a couple of weeks later we hadn't received one so phoned up to be told we don't need one, reluctantly they sent one out and it's a lot better. However there are still times when the internet is rubbish and I can't stream anything. I would not recommend to anyone.

Awesome service. 13Kb/s here all day every day. Can get a bit slow when downlaoding big files @ 1.14 MB/s and surfing but that's fine. All day everyday local calls to 01,02 and 03 and a lot of country's worldwide thrown in. Netgear router at first was awful but now got Skys Sagem F@st 2504 and never looked back. Been with Sky for nearly 20 years, no need to change.

Anyone thinking of using this broadband, please think again and burn this company from your memory. Sky is the WORST provider I've ever used. I get regular drop-outs, I can't watch videos on YouTube in high quality (I select the HD option and because the connection is poor it degrades in quality as the video goes on, or it doesn't load.) Opening a new tab is a nightmare as it takes forever to do so.
PLEASE DO NOT USE SKY BROADBAND.

We had sky broadband about 5 years ago and it was fine but we got a better deal with BT so we changed. It was pants so when the contract ran out we went back to sky but this time it was worse than BT. It's slow continual buffering, drops out , freezes and has to be reset. Don't bother. Worst of all when you call they are unhelpful.

left sky because of a better offer if i had not seen this offer i probably would not have changed how glad i did speed with new supplier is so faster than sky i can not believe it i always thought that the speed was much the same for most everybody.When i phoned i asked if they could match or better
the offer i was going to change to they could not and did not seem all that bothered they were losing a long term customer

I left a review some months ago to warn people to stay away from this atrocious, abyssmal provider. I return to inform you all that it has gotten so much worse over these months, that I wish I could leave negative stars or something of that nature. I have been experiencing on the daily: constant drops, constant lag, constant slow speeds that it is affecting me in more ways than I would have ever thought. Please, stay away, do not ever use. Any positive reviews are probably Sky employees trying to big their horrendous wi-fi. AVOID!
