How can I get in touch regarding not meeting guaranteed download speed

Hi, when I upgraded my broadband to get an improved and guaranteed download speed I was told these were proactively monitored and I would be automatically refunded if the speed dipped below the guaranteed speed for at least three consecutive days.

 

I took a screenshot to evidence my download speeds as they were below the guaranteed minimum for five consecutive days.  When the bill arrived no proactive discount has been given.  So I checked my Sky app for next steps.... it keeps telling me to get in touch .,. But not with who.  Is there an email address I can send my evidence too?  FYI the speed issue is now resolved.

You would need to contact sky to report any fault and start you claim.

 

150 from a landline
0333-7591-018 from any other phone

Ok, cleared now.  Contact sky to see if you can make retrospective claim

Re: How can I get in touch regarding not meeting guaranteed download speed

Hi, thanks for the answer @cookiemonsteruk.  Sorrupy im new to this... are you a representative from Sky or a friendly customer?

 

My question was really asking how I share the screenshots with the accounts team to evidence the low speed and if there is an email account?  Or can they pick up from this thread?

 

As I was told this would be proactive monitoring from Sky I had to wait until the May bill landed (13th) to see if they had taken any action.  When paying for guaranteed speed really it's pretty bad to have to monitor myself and hang on understaffed phonelines to try to prise a refund from them.  Obvs if you are not representing Sky that moaning is not directed at you 🙂

Just a friendly customer.  Sky will have access to the same speed history as you.  So you just need to contact them

When did you subscribe to this package ? As the first 14 days the exchange/cabinet is training your modem to find your maximum speed. Also are you own sky essentials or superfast

Superfast, you must be a fair distance from your roadside cabinet. Would you mind posting your router stats to see if you are likely to recover any more speed.

Thanks again @cookiemonsteruk 

 

I got over my grumpiness and called the number.  Sky answered in 10 mins and were super helpful.  Full month refunded.  I know £30ish isn't a fortune but it all adds up!  Apparently if the connection is totally dead the system picks up the refund automatically but if it's slow for 3+ days you have to call to obtain the refund.48C0D5A3-4C6A-43A4-99DB-E4517FAA0950.jpeg

 

Openreach have already been out and switched me to another line between our road and the larger connection box and that put the speed up to 39mb/s pretty consistently so all good now.
