Can someone please check my broadband connection

My WiFi keeps dropping and I need this fixed due to working from home. WiFi started dropping out yesterday towards the end of the day and has continued today thus far. The broadband checks show no error however there must be for the broadband to keep dropping. Please can someone @Sky assist or have an engineer look into it.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for sharing your experiences over yesterday / this morning regarding your broadband services. 

 

I recommend everyone tries our service status page for any local issues in your area, found here: 

 

https://www.sky.com/help/servicestatus 

 

If there is nothing detected there, you also have our full online help support pages for broadband here.

 

Marking this as the current answer of this for visibility for other users 🙂

 

Thanks,

Daniel

@Samsimba1111  @davida2020   Please can you post your router stats so the forum can advise on any issues. This link explains how to do that https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/How-to-find-your-Sky-Broadband-router-stats/td-p/2855717#

@Samsimba1111 

Hopefully this afternoon. You need to watch out for a post from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread fairly regularly.

This link explains what happens.

@Samsimba1111 it doesn't work like that the team who take the escalations will post as when they pick it up but they do get busy. You can call Sky yourself if you dont want to wait.

@Samsimba1111 
If you definitely need to call Sky you can call free by dialling 150 from a Sky Talk landline or a Sky Mobile, otherwise you can use:
https://www.sky.com/help/home
UK customers: Scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides a 0333 number.
ROI customers: change the flag in the bottom right corner of the link to the ROI flag then scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides a 0818 number.
(The forum doesn’t allow us to type the numbers in full).

You will find that similar to calling other large companies the start will be automated which may also try to send you back to the forum. Stay on the line as long as possible and don’t hang up.

There is currently a broadband outage in east Devon. Is this affecting other broadband providers?

There is currently a broadband outage in east Devon. Is this affecting other broadband providers or just sky?
