How hard is it to cancel Sky NZ?
Sky NZ scores 67/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the NZ — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone, email.
Sky TV (satellite/cable) requires one month's notice to cancel, submitted by contacting the Sky Crew via phone (09 525 5555), live chat, or email; early termination fees may apply for fixed-term contracts and no refund is given for the notice period. Sky Sport Now (streaming-only service) allows fully self-serve online cancellation via the Subscriptions page at any time with no notice period required, and access continues until the end of the prepaid billing period with no refunds for unused days. Neither product offers a documented pause or freeze option. Data deletion requests for Sky TV are handled via [email protected]; for Sky Sport Now via [email protected].

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.
