Re: SKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you have to go online to manage your account and then be told to call in and then be told to go online, 'long waiting hours' are by design and not due to lack of staff or COVID. Not having a customer service email that most companies have to allow atleast a direct message to be passed onto them.

 

The automated system clearly discourages waiting to talk to an advisor followed by hours of waiting time with sky hoping customers will just be fed up and hang up.

 

This is locked out, and there is no defence for this treatment for paying customers.

@Skyqcus As advised the best times to call are from 7am or after 9pm, these tend to be quiter times so you would get through.  There really is nothing your fellow customers can do about wait times.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@Snakebite26 Then you'd best ring before your normal billing date if it hasn't already gone past that. If there are insufficient funds in your account Sky will try again about 10 days later before restricting your services.

Well I only want to keep my sky on until the 15th of this month as I've been in hospital 


What you posted above made it sound like you only wanted to keep your service until the 15th July hence my advice on cancellation
