Just about to send below to sky (recorded of course lol)

So far Ive been told that I will have to be tied to contract (6 months left) but have been told to put complaints in writing. If I am tied will just keep router (figure its worth at least £40)

I am writing to confirm cancelation of my Sky Broadband MAX package.
I have had problems the last few months with very poor latency.
This has increased my ping speeds and made online gaming impossible.
I have logged this problem several times and have been promoised a call back
from Tier 3 techincal support at least 3 times.
I have never received a call back and have never been able to get through direct to Tier 3.
I have also had problems with instable connections and dropouts compared to my other ISP and now my line also seems to be capped at 3488kbps download - It used to fluctuate depending on my SNR ratio (usually going slightly higher.)

As the ADSL I recived is LLU and the problem seems to be with SKY's equipment within the BT exchange, I feel I should not be expected to complete the 12 month contract (currently 6 months left - activated 2nd October.) I feel I have given plenty of opportunity to resolve this issue, and have received no feedback or seen any improvements. Below is copy of traceroute showing slow gateway (2nd line) -

I have logged the problem at first on 5th may, this ticket was closed without my knowledge and stated it had been repaired. I then called back and logged another ticket and again received no call back.
I logged another ticket on the 19th and this time was told that there was a fault at the exchange, again received no call back from tier 3 and again the ticket was closed and stated it had been fixed. I called back again on 21st
and had been told the exchange had been fixed (no call back see above) and was then issued another ticket for the same problem. I have checked on a friends SKY broadband MAX and she is going through the same gateway and has issues with poor latency to SKY's equipment within BT Exhange (cr0.lnhat.uk.easynet.net {195.189.158.31})
It is clearly a problem with SKY equipment.

I have been a SKY TV customer a number of years and have been happy with the service but the customer support I have received from SKY broadband and the level of service has been the total opposite.

Due to consistent failure to provide an adequate service I consider you to be in breach of contract and thereby give notice with immediate effect.
I am not willing to pay the remainder 6 month contract and will return the SKY router if you could forward return postage paid packaging to me.


Please confirm you receipt and agreement to the contents of above.
