Send a letter to sky.

I can see from the complaints on here that sky have a policy of not being helpful in resolving issues with phone connection. I am going to write to sky. It's a waste of time phoning their fake customer service help line.Its a car crash of an attempt to give the impression their doing best to be helpful.

What's the laneline problem you have? We might be able to save you the extortionate price of a stamp.

Is this the hub you have?

If so you reset it by pressing and holding in the WPS button ( on the side) for 30 seconds.

I had the exact same experience the other week. I eventually got the advisor to admit he was looking up the instructions for the wrong hub, but he didn't know anything about the Max hub, so he couldn't help. Although i should also point out, i didn't even need my hub resetting as all i was trying to do was report my actual phone line had gone down and it needed reporting to OpenReach because it was a repeating local fault at the cabinet that OpenReach were just temporarily fixing every 18 hours.

I've got to admit i'm not sure writing to Sky will have any impact. I actually raised a complaint ( using the process here https://www.sky.com/help/articles/how-to-make-a-complaint) over how the advisor was completely inept and that neither that advisor nor one I was subsequently passed over to could even be bothered to log the issue with OpenReach. Suffice to say the response I got back from Sky was pretty sub-standard which actually led me to raising a complaint on how the complaint was handled ( mainly due as a result of them clearly copying and pasting a template response to me rather than a tailored response suited to my actual complaint).
