Afia was very helpful very polite and explained everything in very good detail and was very happy with the experience
Skys customer service is Shockley poor, its impossible to got hold of anyone on the phone, they don't respond to email and you have to wait hours to speak to anyone on chat.
They continually send you bills after the sky account has been closed and will not in engage with you until the bill has been paid, even through the bill is incorrect. they then threaten to instruct debt collectors to recover the money.
Avoid this company, it's not worth the hassle.

I only wanted to look at the colour of the TV. And here I am walking out with new contract. Afia ,Jen were absolutly amazing. Did not take long time either and they did sorted me with everything i needed
Customer support - took a long phone call plus over 3 hours online chat to renew my subscription with an offer that sky put on my account - support rep constantly gave me untrue information, claimed that the re-subscribe deal (that was attached to my account on sky.com) was for new users only (it was twice the price that new users get) and claimed that features are not included that were explicitly included as line items on my bill and clearly stated on the re-sub offer. Then they tried to charge me a £20 admin fee! Utterly, utterly dreadful. I was actually filling in a form to move to Zen for broadband when out of the blue the rep gave up and offered me a deal that was different but good enough. There's more appalling detail but you get the drift!

Bombarded with calls to upgrade to fibre. Did that yesterday and have lost our Sky TV. You can't speak to anyone anymore. None of the 'Help' functions fit our specific problem, the AI 'help' is worse than useless, whole experience is utterly appalling. Time to switch to Virgin. Whatever you do, waste your money on Sky.

Pete was really helpful when sorting out my mobile contract and also ordering me a new phone - superb service thanks very much
If you are looking for a service provider, please avoid SKY like the plague. After sales service across all channels is none existent,

Pete great service & very supportive caring person.I wish him form my soul.
Sky today refused to talk to me as I left them.
They asked me to verify my account by my old bank card  which made me very suspicious I refused to give them any details be very very careful.
Sky can not be trusted.
Staff rude and helpful last go else where
The WiFi seemed ok at first but over the last month it has been extremely poor. Constantly drops signal.
Doesn't matter what I do, restart router change position . I keep getting poor connections.
I would not recommend this company . I will be getting rid as soon as contract ends . Unfortunately I have a year left of poor service.

I would give no stars if it was an option. Stay away from getting an ESim contract with this company. Having recently taken on mobile contracts they cannot deal with complexities of ESIM queries. Having spoken to 8 staff over the phone and visiting in store non could resolve my issue. I received no apology, one member of staff after having me on hold for 30 mins cut my call and never called me back, another promised to call me back and never did, another promised to send information and never did. They left me without a data plan for 2 days and didn’t have the capacity to help transfer my existing number from another provider. In the end I totally lost faith and went back to my old provider but at a cost - I lost my number due to Sky’s incompetence- this has been a frustrating ordeal for me - think twice before entering into an eSIM contract with this company
Had part fibre and was updated to full finally in my area so I rung as router kept going off to which tech guy said he send another asked if I could go on 900 gigs for 36 pounds he said yep put u through to right department I was put through to Samantha who said I cudnt have that new customer only I asked because of the issues I had was there anything she could do as could go bt for cheaper after 6 mins on hold she came back and said nope so I asked for retention in to which Samantha said I am in retentions which is not where the tech guy had popped me through it was customer service she was very unhelpful not understanding and I think I will take my business else where as she trying to charge me 47 for a product I have never had before I should be allowed as tech guy said it for 36 pounds not at all happy with Skys handling of customers as they give there new ones better ones then protecting the ones who stay loyal savage company

John was really helpful and got what I wanted straight away. Top man!
Changed to Sky broadband and after 4 weeks broadband completely stopped working. Tried all the usual go to's but nothing worked.
Phoned there customer service line and was told they could only raise a manual investigation. This will take 48 working hours just to be processed not resolved. So no broadband from Thursday-Tuesday.
Oh and if I want to claim a refund it cannot be done until 48 working hours have passed.
No internet, TV, kids cannot do revision and unable to work from home.
Sky is a con your paying for nothing and the service is beyond poor.

I’ve raised a complaint with Sky about their customer service because I’ve been virtually begged to give their representative a score of at least 9 out of 10 in the subsequent Sky survey. Thought the survey was supposed to be confidential. Then they had the cheek to put me through to the same people! Promised a call back and it didn’t happen. Complained again - same thing. No follow up. No help. No advice. No support. I’m a diamond customer but feels like I’m not valued or listened to. Contract ends soon - seriously thinking about leaving now.

Paul gave us a 5 star service we come back time and time again brilliant service great guy
I had an engineer visit a week ago and they drilled through a radiator pipe (accidents happen!!) a very efficient heating engineer arrived 3hrs later and made the repairs. However that was a week ago! I have a hole in my newly decorated dining room and no contact whatsoever from Sky to repair!! You can’t even find a contact number for them. Please beware when having your broadband upgraded maybe look elsewhere.

My SKY router drops out intermittently, I usually get around 600mbs on a 1000mbs contract. Though when it dropd out and I contact SKY, they use this very usless tool, which appears on (everyones) MYSKY APP, on their phones, and shows that my internet is working hey okay, and normally shows that I am getting somewhere around 900mbs, but that is NOT what a Speed Test shows on my phone, or my computer, they usually show anything below 30mbs, but they do not listen to my issues, they just go on the MYSKY APP for the readings, and tell me they cannot help me further. So I then just keep resetting my pouter, untill by some miricle it starts working again.
Normally I get good service, but this issue is constantly, do you have the same issue as me???.....

Jay was very helpful and accommodating.
10/10.
Absolute shambles of a customer service team… and awful broadband service, I was down for 8 days, every other company gave free minutes, dongles etc .. sky gave me a robot on the end of the phone. Then found out my new router does not do thing the old one does, 45 mins on phone, spoke to SIX different people , to be put on hold then cut off. Happy to say I’m out of contract and leaving
