Sky Talk Technical

[Hixxy]

I live in Oxford and my phone is dead with no dial tone. The internet has gone down too. Using a dongle on my laptop I can now get online to post this and I find that sky server status says that there are no issues in Oxford.

Thinking it must be just me I phoned my mums mobile as she lives in Oxford too and her internet and line is dead too.

So is there a problem in Oxford  ?

Hi Hixxy,

I would recommend following the tips on our Sky Talk Troubleshooting thread to try and resolve this.

Thanks

[zebbieboo]

Same in east london poplar exchange. Troubleshooting guide is no good. The line just stopped working. How about putting up some service statements if somthing is broken

Hi Guys, there is a Service Status page that is updated regularly to reflect any major incidents and issues that are affecting Sky services.

If you've checked this page and there's no fault listed, provided you have completed the troubleshooting steps on the Sky Help Centre you would need to contact the Sky Talk Customer Help team to report the fault so that line tests and diagnostics can be run and if necessary the fault escalated.

The same problem i have in Stockport. It is already 3 days since started but no change even i do the instruction for so many times. We need somebody from SKy to go in our place to check the problem! HELP, WE WANT BROADBAND AND PHONE ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Same problem. no dial tone, no broadband. Sky is just unreliable. in one word they are "useless". 

[Adrian45]

This has been resolved after 4 days.. sorry for the late reply!

I think there is fault during the snowy time where BT lines are disconnected.

I called Sky TEam and they help me by sending BT service Engr.

Thanks, this is solved now!

hi robert here is one for you i have no dial tone and no internet other than my dongle so how do i ring the customer services i have been without a phone now for over 2 weeks and when i called on the 28th i was told it would be working yesterday

[harlou123]

same problem, no dial tone and no braodband since wed evening (13/4/11). Phoned sky who arranged an engineer to fix prob on Thurs afternoon, waited all afternoon and no one turned up - called next morning and was told that BT decided to cancel appointment and didn't bother to let me know so new appointment aranged for today btwn 8am and 1pm - again no one turned up and still no phone or broadband!!!

just checked status page and that was next to useless as it shows both sky talk and broadband having no issues...!

Hi DarrenD2012, If you have no dial tone the troubleshooting here may help. If not please contact us. If you call from a mobile or alternate land line or advisors will normally be happy to call you back when your landline is down.

[Malcolm-M]

Hi harlou123, I apologise as this should not happen. If you contact us then we will get in touch with Openreach to find out what is happening and arrange for them to attend.

[Malcolm-M]

Hi harlou123, I've been advised this is now resolved? Sorry for the inconvenience.

[A.M]

Please help Sky advisors,

I have been waiting for my line to be activated for a bout 4 weeks now and at the end I got no dial tone.

I am having neither dial tone nor broadband now which is really very frustrating.

All troubleshooting tips have been tried to no effect.

I had to call Customer Services from my mobile and they said it will take them up to 72 hrs to sort that out.

It's more than a week now since I reported that fault but the issue has not been resolved yet. 

Even if it's BT Openreach's fault, Sky still has the obligation to find a solution ASAP. We're paying Sky not BT.
