Poor customer service

In early June I called Sky as my contract with tv and broadband ends this week, however I was unable to negotiate a satisfactory deal despite being a customer for 15 years soon so my wife and I decided to look for an alternative provider. We managed to arrange a better deal elsewhere within a couple of hours(it took just  10 minutes on the phone), however a day or two later I received a call from a sky agent  at approx 17.15 on 9/9/23 and after approx 30 minutes on the phone I was offered a better deal at the time I told the agent I needed to  consult  my wife as I was not at home at that point so the agent said he'd call me back. After commuting my wife we agreed to stay with Sky so we noticed the other provider that we wouldn't be switching. However I did not get a call back so I called Sky w/c 12/6 and spoke to an called Jenny she apologised and viewed my account, after amother 30 minutes she  offeried  me the same deal, however she said she would have to call me back in 48 hours  as the broadband hadn't gone back to sky which I didn't understand. I had actome booked for the call but it never came so I called sky again and spent approx 30 minutes talking to another agent named Wayne who said very much the same after consulting his manager he said there was a "glitch at our end" and he definitely call me back the following day between 1.30 and 2.30 pm however he did not call me back. Then I contacted sky through Facebook messenger as I was working and after several hours of messages was told they'd finished for the day with no resolution. I then called Sky last week and within 5 minutes was told I could leave if I wanted to there was no apology or offer of the previous promises so I am now out of contract on 5/7/23 if find it absolutely disgraceful, My wife works from home and needs things sorted asap it's all been incredibly stressful and time consuming has anyone else had this issue?

Unfortunately if you are offered a deal that is acceptable you really need to agree there and then and usually if you ring up again after thinking about it, or in your case discussing it, it has sometimes disappeared.

Re: Poor customer service

Well if the agent had told me that I may have done that, surely you have to take someone's word for it! in any case he would have had to call me back as the broadband needing cancelling with the new provider as it wasn't possible to switch it at that point.
