Complain About Sky Go - File a Complaint Today

Best ways to complain to Sky Go

Navigating Sky's support can be a headache. Here’s a breakdown of the best ways to get in touch.

Immediate to 30 minutes to get a human on the phone, but honestly, it feels a lot longer with the hold music.

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

• Call early: Try calling right when their phone lines open to avoid the midday rush.
• Have details ready: Your account number, the exact error message, and the date the problem started. Don't make them wait for you.
• Be clear and concise: State your problem and what you want (a fix, a refund) in the first 30 seconds.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If Sky Go ignores you or gives you an unsatisfactory answer, don't give up. Your next step is escalating it externally. For a UK-based company like Sky, your best bet is Ofcom.

• Ofcom (The Communications Ombudsman): This is the independent, free service for resolving complaints with telecom and media companies. Before they'll help, you must prove you've already tried to resolve it with Sky directly. Sky must either issue a "deadlock letter" saying they can't resolve it, or eight weeks must have passed since your initial complaint. Ofcom works, but prepare to wait. Sky usually has to respond once the regulator gets involved.

• Internal Escalation: Before going to Ofcom, ask Sky to escalate your complaint to a manager or a specialist team. Use the phrase "I want to make a formal complaint" to get it logged properly.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved App Issues & Poor Service on Account [[Your Account Number]]

Dear Sky Customer Service Team,

I am writing to you again to formally complain about the persistent issues with the Sky Go service on my account, [[Your Account Number]]. This is my third attempt to get this resolved, following a phone call on [[Date]] and a live chat session that disconnected.

For weeks, the Sky Go app has been unusable. It constantly crashes, buffers endlessly, and displays error codes, particularly during live sports events. Frankly, paying for a service that fails during the exact moments I want to use it is incredibly frustrating and not what I signed up for.

To resolve this, I require a partial refund for the last month of service to compensate for the lack of usability. I also need confirmation in writing that your technical team is actively fixing this widespread problem.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response and a resolution plan within 7 business days, I will be escalating this matter to Ofcom.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

• Use the magic words: When you contact them, state clearly, "I wish to make a formal complaint." This triggers a different internal process than a simple query and gets your issue logged.
• Ask for a reference number: Always get a reference or case number for your complaint. It's crucial for follow-ups and for escalating to Ofcom.
• Request a "deadlock letter": If you're getting nowhere, ask for a deadlock letter. This is an official confirmation from Sky that you've reached a stalemate, which is your green light to take the complaint to the Ombudsman.
