Came to the house last week before Sky…

Came to the house last week before Sky Engineer this week, to set things up, did not introduce himself or anything just started drilling into outside wall, once I asked who he was and what he was doing and he explained it was a great service, great job, and cleaned up mess.

Hi William,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m very sorry that your phone has stopped working since the change yesterday. I understand how concerning and inconvenient it is to be left without a working landline. I would request you to please contact your service provider urgently and explain that the phone stopped working immediately after the change. They can check the activation and setup and, if further Openreach work is needed, arrange an engineer visit as soon as possible. Please accept my apologies for the loss of your phone service and the inconvenience caused. ^Abir

No internet since moving to the “better package”

The staff who attended were nice and I would give them more stars however since having the new fast broadband fitted I do not have internet connection upstairs, I can’t access my laptop or the sky Q box. My previous package was better

Hi Donna,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m pleased that the engineers who attended were friendly, but I’m sorry that the new broadband setup has left you without a reliable connection upstairs and unable to use your laptop or Sky Q box. I appreciate how disappointing this must be when your previous package provided better coverage. Please contact Sky, as they manage your router, Sky Q equipment and in-home Wi-Fi coverage. They can assess the signal upstairs, help reconnect your devices and discuss suitable options to improve the coverage. Please accept my apologies for the disruption and disappointing experience following your upgrade. ^Abir

The appointment was cancelled twice…

The appointment was cancelled twice because my husband has a heart monitor. This device is does not require the Internet, it uses radiowaves to send information to the hospital. I was told all engineers carry new modems but our engineer asked if we were using the very old one. Fortunately Sky had sent one. The engineer didnt check if the tv was connected ( Sky said he would) and this caused us to be without Internet in the tv for 3 days as it wouldn't connect to the tv.

Hi there,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m sorry that the appointments were cancelled twice because of your husband’s heart monitor, despite it not relying on the internet. I understand how frustrating and concerning this confusion must have been. I’m also sorry that you received conflicting information about the router and that the TV connection wasn’t checked as promised, leaving you unable to use the internet on your TV for three days. While I’m pleased Sky had supplied the correct router, the responsibilities and next steps should have been made clearer before the engineer left. Please contact Sky if any issues remain, as they manage the router, TV service and device connections. Please accept my apologies for the unnecessary cancellations, unclear information and disruption caused.^Abir
