Broadband dropping out

We recently upgraded our broadband - but ever since the the signal keeps dropping out interminently - its not possible to report a fault as every time we are off line the service checker wont work anyway - this happens at least once a day - for periods of around half an hour  - cant find a human at sky to talk to or how to report this issue - which affects our work and our leisure - no set time of day

@Bob1946 Just call sky on your landline phone if and when it is working, dial 150 to talk to sky Customer Service once you pass all the security!

having got through to Sky their people were really helpful and carried out a thourough test - all was working - but since then we have the same problem dropping out (incidentally when all lights are green) and the phone also not working - I am keeping a log as Sky suggested but the problem is still there

@Bob1946 Do you have the ability to go look at the sky Hub using a web manager? Reason i ask is you are on the sky Broadband Hub as you say all green lights, and there may be a logs write for a dropped wan or a stat's lookup that may also help. This is not for some people so only asking first before i point the way....

 

Do you have all FOUR lights across the board when you have the issue, that will be Power, Internet, wifi and Voice?

Re: Broadband dropping out

Hello - yes we have 4 lights when we drop out - unless it is for a long period - but mainly it is happening when the 4 lights are green   -  and this has only started since Openreach moved us from one telegraph pole to another - and I assume it is heavy useage by others that is causing this - but cant be certain -  

it ihas two patterns - eg Saturday at 1700 it went off for around half an hour hour - everthing including the phone 

Sunday TV dropped out and restarted a few minutes later (not sure about the other things) today Wifi dropped out at 10.24 for a few minutes and then came back .........  will see what happens later!   Thanks for your interest

@Bob1946 No problems keep at it all, surprised OR moved you on to a different pole that's kind off unusal to happen....

See you had an upgrade so was the pole move to give you a Full Fibre connection and no longer on copper cable?
