I have ran all the Sky "tests" (which I know for a fact are inaccurate, ofcourse there are no problems when its connected, stupid test)
Please help.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@JamesR97 If your connection is still playing up this morning call Sky to report it issues after midnight can nbecdue to maintainance in which casecthings should be back to normal.
Sky's connection test measures the speed the modem is connected to the line assuming you have a seervice over a copper line and are accurate. If the connection drops the test wont work which if you think about it is pretty obvious but the test can tell you if there is a known issue in your area. The test works over a mobile connection. Full Fibre connections dont return the speed as the modem is not used but fibre speeds should always be what you are paying for as they dont vary due to line length etc..
You can check the connection speed on the modem youself by looking at the connection stats see Find your Sky Broadband router statistics
If you consider that the test is inaccurate because speed tests on devices are lower the explanation is simply thst the connnection from the hub to the device is slower.

Recently I posted this thread https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Broadband-drops-out-every-5-10mins-and-reconnects-within-a-mi... and im still having the issue, though I have just checked the Sky logs after it happened and this is what came up:
02:10:33 syslog: WAN IPV6 UP
02:24:27 syslog: [174988.694000] eth0 (Ext switch port: 0) (Logical Port: 😎 Link DOWN.

02:26:53 syslog: Administrator login successful from IP: *removed*
So my understanding is that this is constantly disconnecting and coming back up, 4 times within 3 minutes? What might be causing it?
Thanks!

I have followed this https://www.technology.pitt.edu/help-desk/how-to-documents/pittnetwired-configuring-windows-10-wired....
section 2 - "Modify the Ethernet Card Speed and Power Management" and I have now set the duplex speed to be permanent. I hope this fixes it.
