Broadband disconnected

[RMcK3]

We have had no broadband since the storm. Please advise when this will be sorted. Will my charges stop considering I do not have the service? I await your reply.

Have you reported it to Sky? Any compensation you may be due depends on you reporting a fault.

As we're other customers here we don't know.

No.

But you should be entitled to auto compensation - https://www.sky.com/help/articles/auto-compensation

...but I suggest if you haven't spoken to Sky yet do it asap as unless the fault is reported it may not be fixed (nor entitled to compensation).

Same boat here , Friday will be 3 weeks without any broadband , how long without services do you have to be before cancellation of contract is a non chargeable option...?

The storms were unprecedented so I don't think that option will be relevant. 

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

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 you notify Sky 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 is a domestic set up there is no extra or quicker support for those working from home.

Yes I reported it today. The lines are broken.

@RMcK3 

Then the consideration of auto compensation will kick in from Friday if not fixed.

Told this morning I’d have it resolved by 4pm , now being told an additional 3 - 5 days… **bleep**…!!
