Broadband dropping out

For a few months now my broadband has randomly dropped out, and comes back again a few minutes later after it males me sign into the WiFi again on all devices! 

 

Tonight it has dropped out and I cany seem to get it back. Box has the 2nd and 4th light on orange, which means a problem with connection but the app says my connection is fine. 

 

What do I do? 

 

I am growing really tired of this **bleep**.

When there are issues between midnight and 7am it's quite possibly going to be essential overnight maintenance taking place which is carried out then to minimise disruption as most customers are asleep.

 

If your broadband still isn’t working after 7am and you haven’t done it yet 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, perhaps 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. The easiest way is to dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline if it’s still working.

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