Broadband outage 20 April

Great - another broadband outage in mid Devon. Service was down for 5 days before Easter, now it's down again.

 

It's not good enough to say 'these things are usually fixed in a couple of days' on the service checker webpage, and provide no way to find out from a human when it will actually be fixed.  

 

Come on Sky, you can do better!

If you haven’t done it already use this link to check to see if there are any broadband problems or outages nearby.
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker
This should determine if there's an identified fault 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. Dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline (if it’s still working).

This link providers information about the coloured lights on the various hubs

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