Every technician visit has been within a couple of days and we do not get preferential treatment being staff we join the queue.

I did try SKY while still a Cable customer and had 3 replacement boxes in 4 moths and each engineer visit was at least a week away, we got out of the contract due to them not being able to provide a service.

After 12 months with SKY you either pay around £10 per month to get a tech for free and replacement equipment or try spitting your dummy out and demand a replacement which takes time.

I prefer the easy route were I can pick up a phone and all faults are sorted for free.

Plus I get this below and do not want the 1.5Mb promised by all the ADSL providers in my area imagine getting less than a 20th of the speed below.

If you want to keep existing customers sweet and on board, VM, how doing something positive to advertise, like the great selection of channels you have (provided you first actually get that good selection of course.
