Broadband intermittently freezes
Need help. My internet keeps intermittently freezing. This is for short periods and then it corrects its self. Last night for example I was watching a film and the freezing occurred about 30 times. When I check through Sky it's says there is a fault. When I click on sort fault it runs checks and says everything is okay and normal. I'm bemused and frustrated.

Re: Broadband intermittently freezes
I have the same issue, I had a new router a few months ago but it hasn't solved the problem, my laptop freezes at least 20 times a day. I've done the usual checks about positioning, rebooting etc but no improvement

Re: Broadband intermittently freezes
I've had some success I think in dealing with the issue. I managed to do a hard reset of my hub, holding the reset button for a long time rather than just a quick press. Since then things have been better. But you've probably already tried that.
Although it is intermittent so time will tell.
I live in an area that doesn't do super fast, still have copper into the house. I'm now up to 25mbs for download but only 0.6 for upload. I'm sure this is part of my problem but Sky just say this is within normal parameters, not within their control. Which I don't believe for one moment.

Re: Broadband intermittently freezes
No change I'm afraid it's actually getting worse but the broadband speeds seem ok, must be a faulty router
