How hard is it to cancel Sky Ireland?

Sky Ireland scores 51/100 (grade D) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the IE — a poorly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via phone, postal mail.

Last reviewed 2026-06-06 · Documented-Policy tier · grade D

Sky Ireland requires customers to cancel by phone (0818 762 917) or by written notice to their Customer Relations address in Dublin; online self-serve cancellation is not available for Republic of Ireland customers. A minimum of 31 days' notice is required; customers within a minimum contract term may face early termination charges. During the 14-day cooling-off period, customers are entitled to a full refund of all payments including delivery costs; after the cooling-off period, activation and set-up fees are non-refundable, but any remaining account credit is refunded within approximately 6 weeks of service termination. Sky Q/Glass equipment must be returned by the customer.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
