Service installed 10 days ago. Amber voice light for a week. No help from Sky?

[qsvdfhsrdcervthst]

Ah, that explains why Sky seem to be resting on their laurels in getting the problem resolved then - I have zero recourse beyond moving to cable-based services for everything??

PSTN reached stop-sell nationally in September last year, so ISPs cannot order PSTN voice service either as new provisioning or a 'reconnection'.  If your Ultrafast order involved the fitting of FTTP, that's now the only circuit which Openreach / BT Wholesale will sell service over or maintain going forwards.

Alternative provision would be from Virgin or an altnet full-fibre ISP laying its own infrastructure: Openreach are obliged to resolve your current issue but their timescale for doing so is entirely unpredictable, and as a subscriber you can only talk to Sky as the ISP, not Openreach directly.

[TimmyBGood]

I should clarify one point I raised above: it is possible to order a Superfast speed product (40Mbs or 80Mbs) over an FTTP circuit capable of gigabit Ultrafast.  What's typically not possible is a return to the physical FTTC connection.

WiFi signal drops but broadband connection is fine. Fourth on right light named 'voice' turns amber

@Andrew7234 Could you please post your router stats following the link below.

Trying to share but won't let me post photos says I don't have rights 

[Andrew7234]

[Andrew7234]

Got it now 

[Highlinder]

@Andrew7234  Did you reset the router yourself or did it powercycle?

[Andrew7234]

Did a reset myself last week 

[Highlinder]

@Andrew7234  The next time it happens do not reset the router right away. Could you then post the router stats again to see if there is a drop in the connection. This will give the community a better idea of what is going on.

I've upgraded to Sky Broadband Ultrafast 1, FTTP install, and since it was installed 6-8 weeks ago, at least twice a week I lose complete internet.  first few times, I rebooted the router, solved the issue.  I rang the sky support team, they said it was a settling issue, and shoudl reboot the fibre box instead.  I did that the next few times.  It is still happening.  

There is no pattern to it, middle of the day, evening, night.  the family using the intenet, no one in the house.  

A reset of either the OR ONT or Sky Router fixes the problem.  Syslog from the sky router shows this.

Issue seen at 10:55 today.  Reset the ONT at 10:56.  Seems to have happened at 1050.

Any help or guidance on this issue?

@MD3 what happens to the leds on the ONT and hub when the connection is lost?

[MD3]

On the sky hub voice led changes amber. No other lights change. And the ont has no red lights on it. It's like it just stops communicating somewhere. The logs don't show anything else other than what I've put in the original post

@MD3 

What do you have connected to ethernet port 4 of your Sky hub? The ONT?
