Sky whistleblowers allege mis-selling by doorstep sellers - video [United Kingdom]

Sully

The Sky Walkers Team (door to door sales agents for Sky) was pulled in Ireland & the UK in the last week. Tough gig, door to door sales, especially with a product that a lot of people have already or their competitor offers more than they have (Fibre Broadband being a big issue).

Anyway, I see that the Guardian had a video with one of their UK Sales Reps making various accusations about reps misselling and Sky being aware. BKSYB deny these accusations.

A group of Sky's door-to-door agents have contacted the Guardian to allege mis-selling by rogue commission-led doorstep sellers who they say have pushed customers into costly contracts which leap in price; lied about broadband speeds and download limits; promised services that are not part of their packages; and faked customer agreements.

Thought it might be worth mentioning here.

Not a direct Consumer Issue affecting the OP, and I'm not leaving the thread open for a barrage of comments.
