@Shoana46 Afraid you are not contacting Sky's customer services on here, this is a customer to customer forum where customers help each other.
You willneed to persevere with contacting Sky to find out why the engineer didn't turn up and book another visit

Re: Engineer nightmare
And log a complaint. I would do it in actual writing. More hassle but more likely to be taken seriously.

Re: Engineer nightmare
I believe customers who book an engineer for their Sky Q equipment should now receive a tracking link on the day of the planned visit. This will show when their engineer is expected to arrive.
Unfortunately some jobs take longer than expected and then impact appointments for later in the day.

Re: Engineer nightmare
Sky is reducing its satellite dish workforce in anticipation of that technology ceasing within the next five years, and there probably weren't so many in that part of the world in the first place. It's also the nature of the beast that if one dish goes down due to local weather conditions (a named storm with a danger to life warning, for example) then almost certainly lots of others will have done too...

Re: Engineer nightmare
Goodmorning.... gosh i wish they did make everyone less stressed, never seem to get any links or such only a txt the evening before to remind of the booked slot
and yeah totally agree some issues for other customers take longer so all the more reason for engineers or sky to kept customers updated. After all if i missed the slot id be charged £25 so same should apply to customers compensation.
its the endless passjng to numerous people on calls isnt good too only wanted to know if engineer is delayed or being moved to different date n time slot for other reasons.
hopefully after a call on monday this will be on the way to being resolved. Thank you
