    having moved from a sky network area getting a great service speed and unlimited download for a lot less money.moved 6 miles up the road and was put onto sky broadband connect for £17 for 40gig download cap is a ripoff when you get to your limit getting onto the internet is a nightmare will be changing as soon as my contract is up

    Pretty poor. The service is slow. They once sent out an update which somehow managed to break my modem. The then sent out a disc to manually fix the update which didn't work, then they sent out a new modem which they wanted me to pay for. Eventually I got a new modem for free of charge but I was without any internet for 2 weeks and I didn't get refunded.

    Every so often the service cuts out and customer services are pretty poor.

    why has our internet been interrupted on many occasions in such a short period of time?.
    why have we been informed that it is because of BT works?,it isnt,i have checked Why have i had to demand a managers call back within 24 hours.why did i have to contact the ombudsman?.would i recommend sky to anyone?,no i would not,i would however strongly recommend that they go elsewhere for their tv,telephone & broadband. 29july2011,our internet has been off for 10 hours,you keep saying that bt are working on the exchange,what did they do,knock the building down & start from scratch?.isnt it funny that when the internet is down,when i phone up it reconnects in seconds.you lot are taking the mickey! STILL waiting for manager call.I have written a formal letter of complaint to Mark Anderson asking him to investigate this matter & why sky operators consistantly fail to record notes on customer accounts.my broadband is still going off,as you are aware & have been for the past two weeks!

    It all depends on who you talk to, how smart they are, and how complicated your query is.
    Since joing in Feb 2010, I've 'earnt' over £300 in goodwill for this, that and/or the other issues with broadband. I've received BB and LR FREE for the first year due to issues and LR free for 6 months due to having 4 different routers since 2011, all fautly, all sagem.

    It all depends on who you talk to in sky.

    After a few years satisfactory service and an excellent connection and download speed I am now faced with a pathetic 2-3 megs. A male service chap insisted that I check all my home phones despite my telling him that they were all disconnected and that I had been running my router via a filter direct to my master BT box; that I had changed cables and filter. the surly response from him "listen to me....". He expected me to repeat my test, using a mobile for him to call back. I had no mobile at hand so I gave up,told him I would seek another server.
    Clearly Sky or BT had a restriction on download speed and I'm faced with a hesitant connection and a slow service for the princely sum of £15 per month.
