What the actual fuck is Sky doing as a business?
They're getting paid £70 a month for TV by millions of people and still absolutely filling their air time, which is more valuable because of the number of people signed up, with adverts. Losing the odd person that can actually be bothered to go through all the rigmarole you've put up with to quit, probably isn't worrying them all that much.

I should point out that the £66 a month is just for the broadband. I don't have Sky TV.

Oh I know, and that's ridiculous in itself (I pay half that for a connection I very rarely max out from BT), I was just meaning they have colossal amounts of income.

My goodness. I'm on TalkTalk; I get a 1Gb full-fibre connection for £28 per month.

I'm on 320mb (or around that, might be slightly different) with PlusNet and I pay about 31 quid a month ish and it's a full fibre connection.

Always found them to be reliable and the couple of occasions where I had a problem they resolved it quickly.

The big names in the business just have too many customers giving them easy money to ever bother actually offering a good standard of customer service. Sack the lot of them off.
