If your complaint is more urgent

If your complaint is of an urgent nature, for example, if you are experiencing a loss of service, we recommend that you call us so we can resolve as soon as we can.

We aim to respond to your complaint and agree a resolution within 10 days of receiving it. Some complaints by their very nature, however, may take longer than others to resolve, particularly if they have technical complexity. If we have been unable to agree the resolution of your complaint within this timeframe we will ensure you are kept informed of progress in a way that best suits you and at a time that is convenient for you.

What you can do if you're unhappy with the resolution we've given

We hope to resolve every complaint promptly and to your satisfaction. But if for any reason you are not fully satisfied with our response, please tell us and let us know where you think further attention is required. We can then review your complaint, and our response, and can escalate it within the company. We will let you know if anything else can be done to resolve your complaint and we will inform you of how long it is expected to take to resolve. We will keep you informed of progress in a way that best suits you and at a time that is convenient for you.

If you are a small business customer (having no more than 10 individuals working for you which include volunteers) and we have not resolved your complaint in relation to your Sky Connect services to your satisfaction after 8 weeks from when you first made your complaint to us, or if you have received a letter from us saying that your complaint has reached “deadlock” as there is nothing more we can do to resolve your complaint, 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 if it decides that your complaint is justified, Sky will work with CISAS and act on any decision it makes and put things right for you.

If your Sky Connect 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).
