What to expect once you've registered a complaint
At Sky we will do all we can to provide you with the most suitable response specific to your particular situation and to ensure, where possible, that your complaint is resolved to your satisfaction.
If you call us:
One of our Service Executives will discuss your complaint with you. We'll listen to carefully to all the points you raise and check our records to understand the issue better. Our goal is to fix the problem while you're still on the call.
If we can't solve your complaint right away, we'll escalate your case to our dedicated Customer Solutions team and make sure you know what the next steps are for you. Once your complaint has been raised, you’ll get an email acknowledgement with more information on our process and your reference number.
We'll do our best to investigate and resolve your complaint as quickly as we can. If we can't do it during the first call, our Customer Solutions team will be in contact with you to continue to find the resolution that’s right for you.
If you contact us by email:
One of our Service Executives will review your complaint fully, carefully considering all the points raised in your email alongside the service details held in our records. We will send an acknowledgment email within 1 working day to let you know we have received your complaint.
If we need any further information, we’ll contact you via phone, but if this isn’t possible, we’ll respond via email.
We’ll investigate and attempt to resolve your complaint as soon as possible. We’ll contact you with a resolution via phone, if we can’t reach you by phone, we’ll email you.
If you contact us by post:
This may take a little longer, however, as soon as we receive your letter, we’ll reply with an acknowledgement letter within 3-5 working days to let you know we’ve received your complaint.
If we need any further information, we’ll contact you via phone, but if this isn’t possible, we’ll respond via letter.
We’ll investigate and attempt to resolve your complaint as soon as possible. We’ll try to call you with a resolution first, but if we can’t reach you by phone, we’ll send you a letter.
If your complaint is more urgent
If your complaint is urgent (e.g. you’re experiencing a total loss of service), we recommend you call us right away. This way, we can address and resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
Our aim is to address your complaint and find a resolution within 10 days of receiving it. However, certain complaints, especially those with technical complexities, may require more time for thorough investigation and resolution. If we can't reach a resolution within 10 days, we'll keep you informed of the progress of your complaint resolution in a way that best suits you.
What you can do if you're unhappy with the resolution we've given
Our aim is to resolve your complaint promptly and to your satisfaction. However, if you’re dissatisfied with our initial response, we encourage you to share your concerns with us and specify areas where you believe further attention is needed. This gives us the opportunity to review both your complaint and our response, and if necessary, escalate the matter within our company. We’ll communicate with you to explore any additional steps that can be taken to resolve your complaint, and we’ll provide an estimated timeframe for resolution. Rest assured; we’ll keep you updated on the progress in a way that best suits you.
If you’re a small business customer (no more than 10 individuals working for you, including volunteers) and we haven’t been able to resolve your complaint in relation to your Sky Business Broadband services after 8 weeks from the date you made your complaint, or you’ve received a letter from us saying your complaint has reached “deadlock” as there’s nothing more we can do to agree on a resolution, you have the right to take your complaint to the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (CISAS), an independent alternative dispute resolution scheme.
CISAS will review your complaint and decide if there is anything more that can be done by Sky Business to reach a resolution. If CISAS determine that more can be done by Sky Business, they will mediate between you and the company to help reach a fair and satisfactory outcome to your complaint.
If your Sky Business complaint remains unresolved after 8 weeks we will send you a written reminder of your right to go to CISAS.
We will also send you a deadlock letter on your request, unless there are further steps we can take to resolve your complaint in a timely manner (however, we will not send you a reminder or issue you a deadlock letter if your complaint is vexatious or outside the jurisdiction of the scheme).
