speaking from my own experience, sky fibre is a total sham, it's terrible to say the least. Sky have NOW only acknowledged that they have a problem, 10 months now I've had the half speed issue and nothing has been done about it, their CS is a joke, personally can't wait until I'm out of contract and leave these oxygen thieves for good![]()
As a Sky ADSL customer, I was deciding between Sky or PlusNet Fibre and this was one of the reasons I left them; Sky are reactive whereas PlusNet seem to be proactive.
Having followed the PlusNet forums, I read how much they were preparing their infrastructure to support full speed unlimited broadband and it was impressive. Conversely, over the last few months, I have heard numerous stories of Sky being overloaded and not having enough bandwidth.
Finally, Sky had the temerity to charge me £5 per month for 'not having a Sky telephone line'. This was the final straw in taking me over to the purple team. For £5 extra a month (£15 --> £20), my download speed has increased fivefold (13 Mbps --> 73 Mbps) and my upload has increased more than tenfold (0.8 Mbps --> 17 Mbps).
