Worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Most unreliable internet, which cannot be fixed because they possess the absolute worst customer service. If you have another internet provider option, take it. I have never held so much hate in heart for another company. |

the internet basically only works "normally" about 40% of the time. and by "normally" i mean at 3-ish mbs upload, aka slow. customer service is poor, when called they had no solution. internet drops out for no reason, forces me to manually connect or to manually reset it. takes you to their stupid website when you're forced to reconnect via them instead of just being a normal internet provider. |

I'm supposed to be getting 60mbps-70mbps but I'm actually getting 17.8mbps. Paying the highest package for "superfast". It cuts out at least 4 times a day and takes 20 minutes to re boot. Would not reccomend to anyone. |

Incredibly slow internet (literally struggle to send emails with 3mb attachments), regularly lose connection even when plugged directly into the router. Customer service then told us that this was normal and the reason it was slow must be because there are wireless devices in the house, whether they're being used or not. So, literally, their service is so bad that you would have to completely disable all your other wireless compatible devices if you want your internet to work at a regular (still slow) speed. At least according to their customer service. No solutions offered other than that, or paying a bunch more for month with no guarantee that it would improve. Avoid them. Have only used Plusnet otherwise, at my previous flat, and that was totally fine. Similar pricing, and didn't struggle to send emails. |

Yeah, in line with other reviews here, very slow speeds (and I mean very slow - less than 1mb in the center of Edinburgh!). Added to this, very expensive and not always notified when prices increased. Currently waiting for new provider - can't come soon enough. |

I never, ever leave reviews. I feel I have to in this case because the service and value for money from Sky is so appalling. Speeds between 1 and 5, nothing wrong with the line, engineers visits etc etc. Luckily, I'm not contracted to them any longer so am switching - I've been with them for 10 years and realistically the service has been poor all that time. More fool me. Very very stressful when trying to work from home. They don't give a fig. Do yourself a favour genuinely, don't go with Sky. |

Reported a fault with the line 10 days ago and after 10 days and several calls I was told Open reach had fixed the line when in fact it has not been fixed. |

Dreadful - their wifi router is the slowest and has a range of around 5 meters. Upload speeds are just dreadful, I could hand write stuff faster... |

If you're thinking of going with these bunch of crooks, then do yourself a favour and go elsewhere. Upgraded a few months ago to superfast or whatever they want to call it, and speeds are intermittent at best with speeds lately of under 2 mgbs at times and we live a stone's throw from the exchange!. According to their measurements I am getting 80 consistently! A pack of lies and they know it. My daughter in Manchester has got exactly the same issues after also upgrading. Dishonest and disgusting, but they don't care. Avoid, avoid, avoid! |

Conning and ripping everyone off for their shoddy speeds, reliability and customer service. Consistent drops in connection, lagging when gaming, or video conference calling. Speaking with their customer service is pointless (turn it off and back on again). As soon as the contract is done, I'm out. If you're in London, avoid. |

The worst internet I have ever experienced. It is impossible to even just browse social media at times which and trying to play games online is again much of the same with constant ping issues and lagging all over the place makes it not worth while attempting to play. |

the worst supplier i ever saw in my live router not even reach first floor ( i got the best router from sky by the way) and now they just rise price from 22,99 to 42.99 so grab the bargin for 20mbps for 42.99 |

Not going to choose this broadband again. After 6 months of contract they decided to change the price, even though the contract was for a year. Is it even legal? The speed is not so good if everyone in the household use their computers - 3 of us overall. Not convenient if working from home. Choose something else. |

Awful. WiFi Cuts out all the time and with my fibre package, I only get 0.3 - 4 Mbps. Honestly terrible and wouldn't recommend. No one wants to fix it because they say its running at full speed but multiple speed tests say different. Switched from them and I'm not looking back |

Avoid at all costs, dreadful speeds and zero customer service. |

Bunch of thieves, had no internet from 1st of Feb 2020 until 1st of April , 5 engineers visits , hundreds of hours of customer service calls. Always promised me that I will get 8 pounds in lieu of each single day of no service as a compensation and at the end they offered 80 pounds in the air that I cant use them even to pay my stupid broadband bills . AVOID IF YOU CAN |

Sky supports a joke, asked to talk to Manager and he didn't want to talk to me, i don't know why...maybe he was enjoying his cuppa tea too much. Being a husband to account holder gave me absolutelly no rights to discuss broadband at my home, where both me and my wife reside. No information i could provide to them was deemed useful and no work arounds, they were not prepared to help in any way. Lazy ......phaaaa |

Sky has been great for us for years and we have only just started to have problems with it. I think this is because working from home is a lot more demanding but when we rang to end our contract because we where moving to Zen the person was very understanding and polite overall I would get this if you have young children through their first faze of using technology overall great! |

My broadband has been slower than ever for a week or so and for the last two day it's not worked at all, the internet is the only thing keeping me and my kids going through this lockdown and without it has been a nightmare |

I have moved to a new flat and I had to change my broadband provider because there was no Virgin line here. God, in my life I used dozens of broadband providers but this is, I don't even know what this is. Poor customer support, poor connection, cheap website. Don't do this. There are better services out there. |

Sky fibre max... more like own brand fibre cereal. Sky has been going downhill for years. Broadband is patchy at best and has consistent drops during congested periods. When it works, it works and we get 40mb down, but too often the internet cuts out completely or reaches download speeds below 1mbps. We have had Openreach visits 6 times now, and no matter how many times they "repair the line", "install copper into the home" "changing your microfilter" the service never improves because the throughput of customers causes too much network traffic congestion! |

Cheapest at the time of purchase, but you get what you pay for. Slowest WiFi I’ve ever had. Most unreliable WiFi. Constantly loosing connection. Avoid at all costs. |

| Andrew | Chester | Sky | 2020-05-14 | |
When you have it, the speed is ok, but it frequently goes off. Very unreliable! Customer Service have been no help at all, leaving! Don't recommend Sky broadband at all. |

| alex | axminster | Sky | 2020-05-03 | |
Internet is absloutey appalling paying so much a month for a service that certainly not getting. Can't wait for the contract to be over to go another Internet service provider because sky are the worst. |
| |||
| Lewis Sampson | North East | Sky | 2020-05-02 | |
Constant line drops, you'd be lucky to make it through streaming a single episode without a disconnect, 3-4mins no internet, then back on. Dozens of times a day. The complaints have been made, their pathetic solutions attempted, but ultimately they just deny it's their problem. Terrible reliability. Avoid using sky for your broadband. |

| Pete | Livingston | Sky | 2020-04-29 | |
Its been years! I cant believe that they can actually get away with the price for POOR POOR quality. They could so easily Sort this depressing ecsuse of an internet connection, but there all to busy getting rich off people who THINK their getting a good deal. I personally use the internet about 14 hours to 16 hours a day. An I can HONESTLY say I can only use it for about 6 hours in the morning into about 2 oclock. I can list so many more reasons just please fix this joke |

| Mason | Liverpool | Sky | 2020-04-28 | |
The worst internet in the history of man-kind. I've been with them for the last decade and they have never provided a good service, the sad part about it all is that where I live, I am unable to get better internet. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS, THEIR SERVICE IS TRASH |
| |||
| Jeh | London | Sky | 2020-04-28 | |

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 |

| Rebecca Westmoreland | Barry | Sky | 2020-04-24 | |
I have agreed a contract for 18 months £20, after 1 month of use they increase to £22 without any notice, I could get better broadband for this price because the broadband is very slow |
| |||
| tudor | cookstown | Sky | 2020-04-22 | |
Unfortunately i have to agree with anyone who wrote a review before me. The experience with sky broadband is miserable. They really worth an oscar for such a bad service. A snail is faster than my so called optic fibre but the worst thing is that the internet drops like 20 times per day. Funny enough sky recommended to me by a friend.personally i would strongly advice everyone i know to choose an other provider. |
