Customer support is Great

Having been a sky BB user for just over a year my netgear decided to throw a wobbly the wireless side died.

connection to the net was fine just the wireless side didn’t work, time to ring C/S having been with a few ISP’s i was expecting a long wait before speaking to a real person i was pleasantly surprised after pressing a few keys i was promptly put through to a sky agent ‘female’ less than 2 minutes.

Explained the problem to her, she was pleasant and polite we did a few tests, which i had already tried, the conclusion was a faulty router and would need replacing.

BUT she told me i was out of contract Gulp! Oh no

Time to turn on the charm, she told me that she would need to talk to her supervisor, lots of tapping on her keyboard, the man says ok.
a router will be posted out expect to receive within 5 to 10 days

4 days later i am the proud owner of a brand new Sagem router now that’s what i call service.

Her parting words were I wish all my calls were like yours.

Well done customer support 10/10

Re: Customer support is Great

replacing OOW routers is easy - not sure how process is for Dunfermline/Belfast but we can go ahead and replace them if they're dead...

still, it's all good

Re: Customer support is Great

I want to post a thread in here as well. Seems as it has been revived from 4 months ago.

Yep OOW routers can be done as standard by Tier 1 and have been getting done for a while now. Shouldn't have been any fuss at all to be honest, if the router is shown to be faulty it gets replaced.

Yep.
It was probably because she got the popup asking "do you wish to charge for out of warrenty replacement"

Lol, I've always just said "No".

Sky insist that you use their routers so i think they decided it was unfair to charge customers for replacements.

Fully agree, if after my 12 month contract my router breaks sky will send me another or I will move on, just like my Digibox had 2 replacements out of contract. If I must use their equiptment and it is shoddy enough to break Sky will replace it or loose me as a customer.
