All,


When there are broadband issues between midnight and 7am it could be essential overnight maintenance taking place. It is carried out at those times to minimise disruption and there is no advance warning provided.

See this pinned post at the top of the Broadband board from Sky which could be relevant any night this happens…

If you have an ONT box displaying a red light, see this further advice…

Hopefully it’s back up and running before 7am. If it’s not, try restarting your hub or post back in this thread and we can try to offer additional advice.

Mine is also down and app saying all is fine. Getting a bit fed up with this as it keeps happening. Sky are happy to take our money but mess around with the broadband without any warning or reducing the bill. Seriously thinking of changing to a different company

Like the App keeps saying everything is fine when it's actually not. So annoying. This happens every couple of weeks, like Sky can you please fix this 🙄

Re: Broadband down again around midnight!!!

Spent ages on chat to sky. Told no issues. At the end she told me there is a known network issue in hounslow. Wasted nearly an hour of my life. Told up to 48 hours for it to be fixed.
