Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall.

Does not pay confirmed refunds

I had been with sky for tv and broadband for 7 years and recently moved house. Sky made the whole moving property house completely impossible as a new internet line had to be set up at the new house. They signed me up to a new Internet and tv contract, but the tv contract had to be activated after the Internet was live. They eventually got the internet set up and then said they would not honour the price of the tv contract and activate the tv services. They called me a liar and said there were no notes on my file (despite what the original agent said) and said they would have to listen to the original call re moving house and the agreed price and call back within a week. They did not call back and when I chased them they said the original notes stating the tv price were on the file and that they would honour it but would have to transfer me to a different department. The department I was transferred to then would not honour the agreed contractual price. I then discovered they had been charging me for services at both the new and old house because when moving they had set up a new account rather than change the address. They confirmed they would pay a refund of the double charging and would honour the price for the new services in respect of the new contract I entered. They then transferred me to the relevant department to activate the tv, who then confirmed they would not honour the agreed contractual price so my services were cancelled immediately and I was due a refund for this account as well. This was on 5 March and I still have not received either refund. I chased at the end of March and was fobbed off by saying they had to generate a new bill at the beginning of April and all my refunds would then be processed. I have not received any refunds from sky and they have
stolen more than £150 from me. Do not use this company - they only care about getting new customers in the door and then will extremely hike up the prices throughout!

Hi Michaela,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear how difficult and frustrating your home move and subsequent account changes have been, particularly after being with Sky for several years.

I understand your concerns around how the move was handled, including the setup of services at your new address, the creation of a new account, and the communication you received about pricing, activation of TV services, and refunds. I recognise that being given differing information at various stages, or having to follow up multiple times, can be both confusing and upsetting.

When customers move home, services and charges are typically managed based on how the account is set up at the time and the terms of any new agreements. Refunds, where applicable, are usually processed after final bills are generated, which can sometimes take longer than expected. However, I appreciate why delays or a lack of clear updates would be disappointing, particularly where multiple refunds have been discussed.

I'm also sorry to hear that you felt your concerns weren’t followed up as expected. I want to ensure that your account history, billing, and any agreed actions are reviewed fully and accurately by the right team.

If this hasn’t already been resolved, I’d encourage you to contact our Customer Service team, including your account details and a reference to this Trustpilot review. This will allow us to review the account setup, charges, and refund status in detail and provide a clear update.

Hi KD,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry to hear how upsetting this situation has been for you, especially given your long history with Sky prior to the account transfer.

I recognise that there were concerns around how the account was set up, how the contract and price changes were explained, and the information you were given about cancellation charges and a potential refund. I understand how frustrating it can be when different figures or timelines are mentioned, or when expectations don’t align with what later appears on the account.

Early termination fees and refund timeframes are calculated based on account details and contract terms, and these can sometimes differ from what a customer initially expects. That said, where there’s been confusion or where advice may not have been clear, it’s important this is reviewed properly against the account history and any calls that took place.

I'm also sorry to hear that your interactions with customer service left you feeling dissatisfied. Our intention is always to provide clear, accurate information and support, and we take feedback about communication seriously.

To ensure this is looked into fully and fairly, I’d encourage you to contact our Customer Service team, quoting this Trustpilot review and including your account details. This allows us to review the account, charges, and any refund activity in detail and respond accordingly.

Awful experience all round

Awful experience all round. Started off, they forced me into having Sky TV because they said I couldn't have Now TV anymore. Then I realized, six months later, I was being charged for both. When I brought it up with them, they would only refund some of it because I'd left it too long, apparently. Didn't realize there was a statute of limitations on people stealing from you. I'm also self-employed and money is tight at the moment, so when you miss one payment with them, they whack charges straight on and bury you completely. They've cut me off now, so I've got no internet. You try and get any sort of help from them, and you are peeing in the wind. Almost impossible to find a phone number. When you do, they really don't want to speak to you anyway. And offer you absolutely no help. I would never touch Sky again.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear how difficult things have been and I can see why this situation has been so frustrating, particularly with the pressures you’re under at the moment.

I understand how confusing it must have been to realise you were paying for both Sky TV and NOW, and I’m sorry this wasn’t clearer sooner. I also appreciate how upsetting it can be to find that only part of the charges could be refunded. That, alongside late payment charges and the loss of your internet connection, has clearly caused a lot of stress - especially when you rely on your services day to day.

I’m also sorry to hear you found it hard to get the right support when you needed it. We want it to be easy to contact us and to feel listened to, so it’s disappointing to hear that wasn’t your experience.

If you still need us to look into anything specific or help get things back on track, we’re here and happy to support.

Change to sky after 3 years with EE...bad decision

Change to sky after 3 years with EE, what a mistake. Receive a hub with a weaker signals then the old EE hub. Solution, spend £10a month to have it everywhere! you can clearly see they do it on purpose for you to add optional features. after discussion they drop to £4 a month.... don't bother

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I’m sorry to hear you’re disappointed after switching to Sky, and I can understand why this feels frustrating if the WiFi performance hasn’t met your expectations compared to your previous setup. Feeling like you need to add extras just to get reliable coverage around your home can understandably put you off, especially when it wasn’t what you were expecting when you signed up.
I’d like the chance to help look into this with you and check what options may be available based on your setup and coverage needs. If you’re open to it, getting in touch directly will allow the team to review things in more detail and see how they can support you.

Con artists.

Transferred Sky broadband to Vodafone immediately after being informed of the Sky price hike.
Received an email stating I owed Sky £74 in early cancellation fees for exiting my contract early.
Contacted them by phone and explained I am able to change provider fee free due to the price hike as per my contract. They agreed to waive the early exit fee but was told this would take approx. 8 days due to their, 'processes'. Just seen a direct debit to come out of my account and bill on their app still charging me early exit fee.
Tried to sort it out on the chat function which takes forever. Took screen shots of the conversation as they obviously lied to me on the phone before.
Apparently, I couldn't provide the correct account details and I would have to phone up again! Con artists.
Cancelled my direct debit. Given them notification via the chat. Not wasting anymore of my time. Sky can contact me if they want too.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I’m sorry to hear how frustrating this situation has been for you. I can understand why you’d feel angry and let down after being advised the early exit fee would be waived, only to then see it still showing on your bill and a direct debit pending. Being told one thing and then seeing something different happen is understandably upsetting, especially after spending time trying to sort it out through calls and chat.
I’d like to see this looked into properly so the account details, the price increase, and the agreement to waive the early cancellation charge can be reviewed clearly. If you’re open to it, getting in touch directly will allow the right team to check what’s happened and help get this clarified for you.

Craig approached me about the problem with my SIM card and then gave me some Information on a new phone. I then decided to upgrade to a new one which Craig explained fully and navigated me through the process very well. He also gave me contact information how to reduce the price of my Sky Q and a replacement SIM card. Very helpful indeed - well done Craig!

New customer's baptism of fire from Sky Broadband

Switching three HMO rental properties to Sky. Applied online with the addresses of the properties in question. Wanted router to be delivered to me where I live as tenants are out all day working to pay my rent. However, there was no option to add a secondary address for delivery of router, therefore phoned Sky to ask for router to be sent to me for safe delivery. Eventually, after being pingponged through no less than seven departments, this was arranged (or so I thought!). However, delivery was still made to a rental property, no one was in and the moron of a courier dumped the package containing the router in the recycling box which was then taken to the recycling centre with various items for recycling, never to be seen again. (1) Total incompetence on the part of Sky in not following my instructions for safe delivery (2) Delivery driver with not half a brain cell dumping the package in the recycling box at the HMO rental property. And the icing on top of the cake .... an email received the following day from Sky that I will be charged for this missing router. You couldn't make it up !!!

PS: After contacting Sky as per their request below, they simply asked me to email a complaint to a further email address, this time provided by them. When I queried as to why they were refusing to help me, the response was "The agent has access to all the tools and system to be able to manage this complaint for you. As we are limited to certain tools I wouldn't be able to manage this fully for you. Thanks, Allan.

In that case, what are these Sky employees that pick up complaints via Trustpilot actually doing - paying lip service so that it may seem to an outsider reading reviews that something is being done when in reality nothing is being done ??

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been for you. I can understand why you’d be upset after taking the time to call and explain where the router needed to be delivered, only for it to arrive at the wrong address and then go missing. Being passed between multiple departments, followed by concerns about being charged for equipment you never received as intended, is understandably disappointing and stressful.
I’d like the opportunity to have this looked into properly, including the delivery instructions you were given and what’s happened with the missing router. If you’re open to it, getting in touch with us directly will allow the team to review the account in more detail and see how this can be resolved.

I recently visited Sky at Silverburn Shopping Centre after a frustrating experience with their call centre. I had been passed between four different people on the phone, and unfortunately one of them was quite rude, which made the whole situation even more disappointing.

Because of that, I decided to go in person—and I’m really glad I did. The in-store experience was completely different. Robbie was extremely helpful in setting up my new broadband and TV package. He was friendly, approachable, and took the time to clearly explain all the options without any pressure. Everything was transparent, especially the pricing, which I really appreciated.

Another staff member, Nad, was also lovely and welcoming.

Overall, while the call centre experience wasn’t great, the in-person team at Silverburn turned things around and provided excellent customer service.

Upon cancelling my sky broadband and Tv due to rising costs, I then had an email from them asking me to ring, which I did, I asked if they could reduce the costs and was told I couldn’t do anything as I had already requested a switch, no attempt to keep me as a customer, I have been with sky for 19 years, they sent me a box to return equipment, it will only fit the router, not the sky box as well, I have rang this morning, and was told to find a box and take it to the post office as they cannot send another box. Customer service does not exist, very disappointed will never go back to sky
