The initial conclusion from Sky of slamming which they suggested has now been verified as a user error on SKy`s end , they have admited full responsibilty and we have agreed compensation Sky accidentaly deleted our Telephone account and saw themselves on there system as a 3rd party , assuming the 3rd party was slamming behaviour the conclusion was reached and later changed as mentioned above

Sky however cannot reconect us back to there system due to there own limitiations and have incredibly advised me to use BT :o as this is the quickest method to regain my phone line and eventually ADSL

The highest commendations should go to ADSL24 for contacting me as quickly as they have done

for ADSL24`s information BT have informed me that we will have a telephone line working on the 18/8/09 so please hold our details for a few more days

This has been a harrowing experience and although compensation has been agreed it leaves a bitter taste in many respects

I would also like to thank Alec at Sky in the reputation exposure dept for sending my Mother the flowers

Upshot ... Sky cut our telephone line off due to operator error, we loose telephone, we then loose Internet as the line is no longer owned , sky canot reconect us due to there own limitations and give a time line of 30-60 days for reconection , sky advise we use BT , BT can reconnect us within 4 days , we sign with BT and hold our breath

My head hurts

Hi

Yeah, these smals are a real pain as they usually happen without any warning to us or the customer and we are powerless to stop them.

As soon as your line is back with BT, give us a call and we can place an order to get you back online. Mention you already had a live account and we can tie it back to that same record. BT will charge the 40+vat activation fee but you should claim that back from Sky.

Thanks James
This week has been a very interesting to say the least , Sky have already agreed to pay all costs incurred all be it as credit to our Sky account

It appears my web site is still available and running , whether this is standard practice or you guys have kept it alive for me is unknown but i appreciate it still being available so thank you in huge amounts

i have popped a note over to see if somehow you could forward my e-mails to me from one adress only to a Gmail account i have for backup , which is all well and good but i cant access my account here to forward them myself, i understand however if this is not possible

As mentioned above we will have a Phone line again according to BT this coming Tuesday

ADSL24 throughout this time have been fabutastic, and have helped where i`m sure others would have just ignored us, i cannot thank everyone enough for your excellent help in all matters

Thank you

Mike

I'm intrigued....

Was this a Sky cock up or a hack ?

Reading the thread, it looks like it was an error on Sky's part.

Ah...indeed it does. The initial comment that Sky thought it was "slamming" was the thing.....then they say an op error....
