@SkyUK promised WiFi in every room. Several calls & advised to upgrade twice. No change Pods sent. No change. Promised engineer & later told āsorry we donāt have them in NI we can do no moreā Thatās it. Took our money. False advertising & no help. Disgusting
@SkyUK Over 700, 000 sky customers on the island of Ireland and we are told that there are no engineers in Northern Ireland. Someone is having a laugh ?!
@SkyUK takes several mins to download a page beside the router and no one from sky can help. Told us told upgrade to ultra fast and still no change. But again took our money ! Unacceptable behaviour. Will seek advice.
