Broadband

For the last two days my broadband keeps going down. Short times but still very frequently. When I do the test by phone or using the tv it says it's fine , but the lights orange and it's constantly dropping off so it isn't fine.

typically just signed a new contract with sky !

For broadband issues the first thing to do, even if you’ve already tried it, is to use this link to check to see if there are any broadband issues or outages nearby ~
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker

This should identify if there's a known fault, perhaps affecting multiple households.

NOTE: It doesn’t necessarily disclose a problem immediately and there is up to an hours delay before the service checker picks up a lost connection so perhaps try it again later.

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 okay 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 contact Sky to report it. The easiest way is to dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline if it’s still working.

Bad weather; Adverse weather can also impact your broadband.

Working from home; Sky broadband being discussed here is a domestic service and whilst it's fine for those customers working from home to use it, they won’t receive additional or quicker support.

Re: Broadband

Tried these tests and they all come back as no problems, even if the orange light is on. I'll have to call sky, sit on hold for hours for them to tell me nothings wrong I guess. 
every time I rejoin sky I regret it
