Hi paul+warren, as this requires accessing your account and having your details you would need to get in touch if the troubleshooting here does not help.

Hi Robin+Bailey, sorry to hear this is taking some time to resolve. What were you last advised and what does the ticket say on www.sky.com/trackmyfault?

Hi wozzafoxyroxi,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your enquiry.

We do not have any known issues in your are at the moment.

Can you confirm if you have microfilters on your phone sockets? It may be worth changing the filter.

Can I ask you to try troubleshooting in relation to the phone line?

If this does not help you should also be able to call out on 150 and get in touch with us.

Let us know how you get on.

Many thanks,

I agree, I am in Manchester and have been having the same problem, crackling line, no dial tone, can't ring out (so can't phone SKY) and my router keeps crashing 4 or 5 times a day EVERY day for the last few months. I had problems with a previous router but when I rang SKY they kept telling me it was MY equipment that was faulty until eventually after numerous lengthy phone calls (which they charged me for) they agreed it was their router and sent me a different one which worked immediately.

I know other people in my area having the same problems so I agree, it cannot be the fault of just Nottingham exchange.

Come on SKY, I cannot phone you and this is the only way I can contact you.

I am fed up now and will definately not be renewing my contract in April.

Hi tiahmaria,

Thanks for taking the time out to post your query on the Forum.

It's sad to see that your currently having an issue with you Sky Talk at the moment, can I get you to try the following troubleshooting to see if this helps at all.

Please come back to us and let us know how you get on.

Many Thanks, 

[tiahmaria]

Hi,

thank you for responding. I have checked my phones & microfilters, in fact I have done everything except fit a new phone. This is very annoying as I cannot contact SKY to resolve this, it would be helpful if you could check my line but you don't know who I am or where I am to do this.

I cannot ring out, I can't hear incoming calls for the extremely loud crackle and my caller display seems to have dissappeared. My router keeps crashing can only stay online a few minutes at a time.

I know it is NOT my equipment though I have given SKY the benefit of the doubt AGAIN and run through your troubleshooting. 

Please sort this out asap.

Hi tiahmaria,

To rule out your equipment completely we would need you to plug a different phone into the main phone point in the house, without a microfilter, and into the test point if you have one (I've included a picture below).

Once you have tried that we would need to you call the SkyTalk Tech team, from your mobile or alternative number, to have them investigate and book an engineer if required.

dear sirs, since we changed over from virgin phone line to sky phone line the phone line has never been clear to make any phone calls or to receive any calls . The constant crackling on the line is making it impossible to talk or listen to anybody. If this carry on I will have no option to return to VIRGIN.

Hi richard+donnellon

First of welcome to the Sky Help Forum and posting what we hope will be the first of many posts. 

I'm sorry to hear that your having an issue with your telephone service which is affecting you so bad that you are looking to cancel, which is the last thing we would want you to do.

Have you contacted us at all regarding this issue? If you haven't then I suggest that you contact us and for a technical advisor to go through troubleshooting with you and then to maybe escalate the problem further. I can appreciate that it will difficult to call from your landline with this issue ongoing. So if your calling from a mobile when your at the property, ask the advisor to call you back right away. This will save you any expense and in most cases they will be more than happy to do so.

Please let us know how you get on with that.

Thanks
