Internet dropping

RachE2 — Sun, 20 Apr 2025 00:01:55 GMT

For the past 2 hours my internet has been dropping in and out, with the lights on the hun dropping out competely to amber flashing. However, everytime I try to "check my connection" it says it's running fine. This is the 10th time this evening the internet has dropped out, if it continues I will seek for reimbursment.

Unfortunately there is no reimbursement for such events. This explains auto compensation for a total loss of broadband…

In the UK the service level agreement between ISP’s and Openreach for fixing a fault is 2 WORKING DAYS.

The below link explains the Ofcom agreed auto compensation scheme which Sky operates for when there is a TOTAL loss of Sky Broadband or Sky Talk for UK customers.

If you have a total loss of service and it isn’t fixed after two full WORKING days from when Sky are notified of the fault, you will become eligible for it. It’s applied 30 days after the fault has been repaired and will come in the form of a credit appearing on your Sky account (from 01/04/24 the rates are £9.76 per day). There is no equivalent scheme in place for customers in the Republic of Ireland.

As Sky broadband discussed here is a domestic set up there is no extra or quicker support for those working from home.

If you haven’t done it already use this link to check to see if there are any broadband problems or outages nearby.

This should determine if there's an identified fault affecting multiple households.

If there aren't any then try running the line test here

You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.

Once completed, if it reports back that all is good click on 'broadband' to run an updated test. If you get amber or red you need to follow the on-screen instructions.

If you’re still having problems you may need to call Sky to report it. Dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline (if it’s still working).

This link providers information about the coloured lights on the various hubs

Its worth adding that for customers working from home remember that Sky Broadband is a domestic service so you won’t receive any extra or quicker support.
