My elderly friends landline has been faulty for several weeks - first no calls received then now, cannot make calls out. He reported the problem several weeks ago but despite Sky promising help, non was received., He lives in a remote area and has problems using a mobile phone. He has serious health issues and this is causing him stress and anxiety. I tried 150 and a 0333 number but these are automated and requesting info which I don't have. Can anybody, anywhere provide some help?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@DeMott43 If the fault has al;ready been reported then Sky/Openreach would be aware, how do you know they are not providing any help?
Sky won't speak to a non account so obviously won't speak to you regarding this, the account holder will need to make contact.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@DeMott43 not sure what you're referring to. Openreach can investigate a reported fault without needing to contact the accountholder. Clearly it's not fixed so the best thing your friend can do is speak to Sky about it again.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@DeMott43 Seems like despite our best efforts you feel you need to shout at people, I do hope you don't do this in real life?
As we've attempted to help you and just get that kind of response I don't think we'll be able to provide any further suggestions. as we are just getting nowhere and I for one don't intend wasting my time on a Sunday with an ungrateful poster.

Yes, I would shout at you face to face because you have wasted my precious time with stupid questions and suggestions. It's obvious you are not a pragmatic person and failed to iunderstand the fundamental problem.
