Don’t know where to start from.As joining them on the 6th of December and having a credit check in they’re Manchester City centre branch I got told that the Sky Glass package & broadband with phone line shall start working on the 10 or 12th of December 2023.I told them that I was going to leave abroad for work but my wife and kids will be home to take the delivery.On the day of delivery the sky glass Tv came and when it got put out the haulier being known as Panther, their driver said Oh theyres no stand & we can’t put it out so I suggest I’ll take the Tv back and leave a note for Sky & you’ll get it delivered in about 48hrs or something.My wife going along with it thinking that it would get delivered let them take the Tv and the 3 multi room pods too.About 4 days later I get an email saying that we cancelled the contract by sending the Sky Glass back.As having the contract in my name nobody could speak to them but me due Data Copy act etc. Anyways as Christmas was approaching there was no broadband or Sky Tv at home.So I called them from abroad and including the wait time the call cost me £90 as I was calling from my phone as Sky couldn’t call me abroad. Anyway I was told to take another contract out and would have another credit check done again.Let me add that whenever any company makes a credit check whether it being a soft check as they put it 20 points get deducted off your credit score.Now that being 40 taken off I get told that your good to go and everything shall be delivered on the 22.12.23.It was an all day delivery & when my family waited and waited and at around uk std time of 6pm my wife rang me up to find out as it hadn’t been delivered.I made a call again to find out that it had been cancelled because I was so called sent an email which I was to sign and I didn’t receive it so hence the contract had to be cancelled.I was so furious and now out of £90 in calls plus the earache of hearing the wife and the kids for spoiling they’re Christmas. Anyways I came back in January and had to get a 3rd credit check done on me and signed up a third time.The date for delivery which was given this time was the 10th of January 24,on the day of delivery they didn’t have the screws for the stand again.Which wanted me to bang my own head against the wall,how incompetent can a big company be??. Anyways I called Sky again to be told them of the situation,but this time I didn’t send the Tv back as I got told that someone would come again by them and Panther hauliers whom they use and will sort the screws out.Come the following evening I get told that someone will come tomorrow to collect the Tv again.I was outraged to get my head around how these people work and run such a big multinational company. Keeping my cool I replied back to that email and got sent a message that that’s a standard message and they will know on that notes what to do.When they tried sending the sky glass the second time I got told that the company who come to set it up being Panther have spare screws and bits and pieces to sort small issues out and I should have told them to sort it out before they leave.Anyways the following day two more guys turn up and again they don’t have the screws & were told that they’re here to pick the Tv up.I had to explain to them again & they left saying to speak to Sky again.In between I made several calls to Sky to get this sorted out.So on Friday which has passed being the 12th of January 2024 someone came again to say that he didn’t have the screws and that we should call Sky again.My wife told them my husband will be very annoyed and will end up throwing that Tv outside including the equipment and told him of the ordeal of what we have gone through to which he said let me check and see if I have spares in the van.Luckily he found some and fixed the stand and we finally got to watch some Tv after a month and a few days.In between when my wife rang up to tell me that he didn’t bring the screws again I called Sky and spoke to someone & asked him that i wanted to speak to a senior supervisor for all the headache which I took and should be compensated to which he sounded half stoned and offered me a measly £15?So is that what Sky values it’s Customers time and values them at?I’m absolutely vexed at myself for taking this contract out and then being messed about so much.I got a phone call this evening by the same guy who offered me the same £15. They can keep the £15 as being in business if your customer is not happy with the way they’ve been dealt with then it’s not really a good or healthy business relationship.And i don’t like to do business with people whom I feel that don’t respect me or my business.Looking at the negative reviews plastered here just shows that Sky doesn’t care about its customers and when I would tell them about my experience then saying u feel for me but doing the opposite to me doesn’t help.Hope that ppl will learn & avoid joining sky & not make my mistake.

Terrible service since Sky fibre installation. Sky cannot resolve and recommended we cancel and go elsewhere. We did and now Sky TV service does not work effectively with another supplier. After 30 calls plus and 6 engineer visits they are struggling to resolve and acknowledge it’s a known problem. Pretty much been told to go somewhere else for our tv service. At a loss in what to do.

The whole thing failed completely as soon as it was connected (and just after Sky had terminated my account with BT) and *the most* passive aggressive customer services rep told me it'd be 4 days before the engineer - who had been working on the cabinet that morning - would be out to fix it. She even acted surprised when I asked if I'd be charged for the time they had left me without broadband.
It's a double whammy of sh*t British customer service stalwarts. They've dressed up a cutback in engineers as "engineer-free set up" which leaves you high and dry if there's any complications, and the customer service scripts are riddled with apologies while the actual underlying attitude and service level is far closer to contempt.

Patchy at best, useless on a regular basis, unable to speak to a human for the most part. Stood up by the engineer, have lost all faith.

Sky broadband intermittently cuts out but their broadband checker says all is ok. They are telling lies. If my 85 year old mother fell and her emergency beeper connected to the internet didn’t work because sky only provided intermittent service she could die. Are sky expecting you to pay for a 24 hour service or an intermittent service???????!!!!!

After experiencing sky wifi, I have never felt so low. I cannot replicate the old world of escapism I previously experienced, I no longer feel the joy of dopamine rushing through my veins. Instead I am feeling adrenaline and cortisol, wanting to destroy the next local Sky building in my outrage. This is a SCAM and not worth WASTING MONEY on. I'd rather strap a potato with wires to an asteroid that is 4.246 light years away, orbiting Proxima Centauri than this rubbish wifi.

Worst company to use, I paid for the Ultrafast broadband service for 1.5yrs, during the first year, the internet connection was horrible, kept on coming in and out, only had a fast connection at night. I mostly work during the day so this did not affect me, however, from the 24th of December 2023 until the new year, they had an outage in the area which they did not bother to fix and left me without internet connection for 1 week during the holiday period, when I asked how long it would take, I was told they don’t know. Horrible customer service, each representative had no clue how to solve the issue. Never use sky, waste of money, I was paying £38 a month for 150Mb/s, and before them I was using Virgin for £28 a month for 250Mb/s, I will never use this company again, waste of service and horrible customer service.
