SKY Talk not a good idea if you really need a phone

[mgfboy]

I changed over to sky talk/broadband earlier this year and the change over was painless, but on Thursday last week the line went out and now 5 days later a bloke from BT has just turned up to fix it ( lucky the kids are home as I'm at work and nobody contacted us to say they where coming!!!)

So the moral of the story is as in all things you only get to know how good something is when it goes wrong and they have to fix it!!!

Same with any phone provider though im afraid, we had massive troubles with sky, was moving into a house we bought, picked a date for installation and connection, to coniside with the move, got a letter a week late to say they were activating the line 2 weeks early, rang them up to shout at them saying im not paying for a phone to be used by the current owners, they cancelled it, it then took an extra 2 weeks of constant telephoning them to get it switched on at the right date.

They then had the cheek to try and charge us another £60. Got my wife on to it, who can usually sell ice to an eskimo, who managed to get them to refund it.

Moral of the story, never trust anyone to do their job properly.

There's another - and even better - reason to avoid Sky anything.

Sky Group is owned by Rupert Murdoch who, as we all know, is the spawn of Satan.
