Nuisance calls.

hallm — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 11:24:19 GMT

I've had Sky talk for many years along with sky broadband however following lots of issues with losing my broadband I was advised by a Sky engineer to hardwire the Router to the Sky Q hub however this meant I only had one outlet port left on the router. Therefore I agreed to have a Sky booster router that had 4 outlet ports, after multiple calls this is now in place however within two days I'm receiving nuisance calls and it seems I can't have Sky Talk Shield with the router I have considering we have no mobile signal indoors I require a landline .......I guess the only thing left to do is cancel the whole Sky package and get a BT landline that will allow me to block the nuisance calls ! Any ideas folks ?

@hallmDid you have talk shield before getting the new router? What is the reason that you are unable to get talk shield?

That's not the case. Sky Talk Shield works with any Sky router. It's not a router-based service.

Purchasing a simple unmanaged five or eight port ethernet switch for c£20 is the easy way to allow multiple ethernet devices to be connected to a Q Hub: there's no need to pay extra each month for Broadband Boost and so get a Sky Broadband Hub (although Sky would undoubtedly prefer people to do so).
