Broadband Activation and Service Failure (08-10-2025)

My account was activated today, and I received confirmation via email and text stating that my internet connection was ready to use. Despite following all setup instructions—connecting the Sky hub to the Openreach port both with and without a microfilter—and seeing green lights for power and WiFi, the internet connection does not work.

 

I have rebooted and power-cycled all devices multiple times and checked all connections thoroughly. Additionally, my Sky mobile app status shows everything is working, but in reality, I cannot access the internet.

I am concerned that my billing cycle has already started even though I have not been able to use the service. I request urgent investigation and resolution of this issue. Furthermore, I expect compensation for the days I have been unable to access broadband service, in line with Sky’s auto-compensation policy.

 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise when my service will be restored. If the issue is not resolved promptly, I will seek further assistance from the relevant ombudsman.

@AlbertDavid94 You are aware that up until 11.59pm is the sky time to make it all happen unless there has been an activation failure which does not happen that often especially if previous connection was up and changing providers!

 

You are NOT speaking to sky when you post on the Forum!

@AlbertDavid94  Please use this link to see how to raise a complaint, Sky have up to 8 weeks to respond, after which you can request a stalemate letter if you are not happy with the outcome. The Ombudsman will only consider a case once you have exhausted the formal complaint route with Sky.
