Company history

Company history

Sky Broadband is part of British Sky Broadband (BSkyB), a company which was formed when Sky Television and BSB merged in 1990. Sky Television pioneered satellite television with their revolutionary Astra satellite and BSB provided similar services to customers in the UK.

Though the company was primarily recognised as a satellite, and subsequently digital, television provider they are now extending into providing broadband services. In 2005, BSkyB took over the ISP Easynet, an active broadband provider across Europe.

It was this move which prompted CEO Rupert Murdoch to develop Sky Broadband. Sky Broadband’s popularity is the result of the great deals which they offer combining broadband services with digital television. Sky Broadband’s slogan ‘Go faster, do more’ shows their commitment to efficiency and development, in both the company and its customers.

Customer service

Customer service

Sky’s reputation as a quality service provider is firmly reflected in their customer support, with knowledgeable and helpful staff on hand to assist with any queries regarding their broadband service.

Lines are open 7am-11pm, 7days a week with calls charged at a local rate. Alternatively, for virtual assistance, the online ‘Ask Sky Box’ allows you to type in your query and receive a response without even picking up the phone.

Equipment

Equipment

All packages come with a free Sky Broadband Box–a wireless router to you and me - which means you can surf the net throughout your home. On top of that, the Sky installation pack also includes three free microfilters, and all the necessary wires and plugs.

A ‘Get Set’ CD is included with all packages for easy set-up, however a Sky engineer is available for a professional home installation service from just £50.

Software features

Software features

McAfee Internet Security Suite is provided with a 12 months’ free subscription (usually £49.99) with all Sky broadband packages. Having the latest in security software means your computer will be protected from online viruses, spam, spyware, and hackers, so you can surf the web with confidence. The security software also receives constant information on new threats, scams and viruses. For ultimate peace of mind, McAfee’s child-friendly filters also protect the little ones when they are online.

Email features

Email features

Sky offer a generous ten email addresses to share with your family in the home, with 200Mb of storage for all those messages, documents and pictures. You will also receive access to Sky’s unique photo website for uploading and saving galleries of high-resolution images.

Transferring to a Sky email account is also made easy through their Contacts Copier, allowing you to copy all of your information to an address book for easy access from your email account.

  • I went with Sky just because it was easier to do that and have one bill for everything. But I've been pleasantly surprised. For a company that isn't first and foremost about broadband and is really a broadcaster, it's a really gud service.

    starstarstarstar Ashley Pates, 19th May 2010
  • My experience with Sky has been appalling - I left as soon as my 12-month contract expired. The price I was quoted (per month) was nonsense as they put their prices up soon after I joined and then capped the broadband at a ridiculous 2Gb/month (you have to pay £5 extra if you go over that - so another excuse for a price hike!).

    Their customer service is also non-existent and (worst of all) you have to pay to sit in a queue as it's an 0845 number!

    star Simon Warner, 16th March 2010
  • I went with sky in July 09 and i have done nothing but complain to them about the trouble i am having, when using their broadband, and your using their phoneline at the same time.

    I get a terrible interference when i use my phone. i do use the filters they sent me, but the phoneline is still bad when using their broadband. I have contacted sky since July 09 but i still have this problem. I am still waiting on sky to sort this problem fo me. I am not happy with the service i have received from sky so far.!!!!

    star Sally Torley, 6th January 2010
  • Steer Clear of Boardband with SKY, they are the worst providers I have experienced. They have not replied to my letters of complaint for not providing the service I pay for! There customer service is appalling.

    star Sarah Wise, 10th November 2009
  • Hi. I want broadband and maybe sky TV (it should have sports ie Ashes, Wimbledon, etc). I have been told that our house has a not-great signal.Do you check this before you proceed to sell some product?

    The house has a dish but we do not have a phone line connected. Do we need this? Also how does the installation work, do they come to the house? If so how long does it take? sorry for all the questions but this is the first time for us! I'd really appreciate it if someone gets back to me asap.

    star Rosemary, 6th June 2009
  • As someone who works and looks after a family on her own, I think signing up to a sky triple package with a bonus of a Tesco gift card was one of the best household decisions I've made this year - everyone's happy and we're saving cash!

    starstarstarstar Kirsty, 14th May 2009
  • I've been a sky tv customer for 20yrs with phone and b/band elsewhere,I'm looking to bundle it in one. I pay sky £40 for tv. being an OAP. I need to economise. I find some friends have been offered a free Sky box out of the blue, one of which I gave a free Sky connection to that came with a new tv I purchased about 10yrs ago, for being a loyal customer, and they pay for basic tv.

    starstar R G ATKINS, 7th April 2009
  • I've been a Sky broadband customer for ages and have never had to contact them until last week - I was expecting hell, as is so often the case when you call up these companies for support. However, the guy was totally helpful - I am surprised but really really happy!

    starstarstarstar Michelle, 24th March 2009
  • When I contacted Sky to discuss broadband. I was told that the mid package was £5 pm. I contacted the sales agent to to place my order for the mid package,sky talk, and sky line.It then transpired that Wraysbury exchange was outside the network and broadband mid would infact cost £17. By cancelling my sky movies I managed to keep almost within my budget.My Questions are, How can I find out when my exchange will be upgraded? and why is it so much more to pay? After some help from my friends (who seem to know more that the sky chaps!) I am up and running. Happy with my broadband but not happy with having to pay so much more than I was first told

  • I am still waiting for my broadband to be set up - now 8 weeks.

    star john dobbyn, 2nd February 2009
  • I have Sky HD unlimited talk, Broadband Max, My TV side? Can't fault it, I have problem with my phone line before and broadband too, when I went over to Sky they took over a month to sort it but as normal it was down to BT who manage the lines and our local area everybody only get 3.5MB anyway. At off peak times I get 5.1MB and peak times it goes down to 3.4MB but it is stable now not like before. They manage the line for me and try to give me the best service availble. If you have slow speed you need to push and write and complain to get something done.

    starstarstarstar Martin, 8th January 2009
  • Sky is fantastic! The TV is outstanding, the call packages are well worth it and the broadband is fast and reliable! if you are looking for any of these or all, go for Sky!

    starstarstarstarstar chris, 2nd January 2009
  • Would love to be able to join sky broardband. But cant afford to pay £17 a Month Plus £50 set up fee. Why cant we recieve the Cheeper deals!!!!

    starstarstar Hannah , 5th October 2008
  • Ignoring the fact that Sky wouldn't let me use my own router, their service is fantastic, no complaints at all!!!

    starstarstarstarstar John, 24th August 2008
  • Sky is not everything it appears to be. We have Sky TV so our monthly bill for broadband should be £5.00 for an 8Mb package, but after 2 years we are still paying £17.00. The excuse from Sky is that the excahnge has not been updated - so before you buy from Sky I would check this out - otherwise Sky broadband is great.

    starstarstar jim bennett, 10th August 2008
  • Sky broadband is the worst ever, you get what you pay for and when it's cheap it's bad. It never stays connected for long and when you speak to someone it's hard to understand what they are saying, as you are speaking to someone in some cheap call centre in another country.

    star teena bush, 21st July 2008
  • Absolute rubbish... I'm paying for 8Mb and I'm getting nearer 0.5M... I'm not happy and will be changing ASAP!!!!
