I am very disappointed I have been without Sky tv and broadband for over a week I let this go as I was awaiting to have fibrotic fitted today however engineer has said needs a cherry picker although any other contractor has used a ladder and to send someone out without one is absurd , I have been with sky a long time and was about to renew contract but I am now not so keen to do so this has cost me money as cannot work at home and have no sky tv. I would like to talk to someone asap

Best to call then  as no one from Sky can identify who you are or your contact details, we are a customer helps customer community, your not contacting Sky customer services.

@Bluesky26 @Irene30 
It is two working days as a potential fix time because of the service level agreement in the UK between ISPs and Openreach for fixing a domestic fault.

This link explains the Ofcom agreed auto compensation scheme which Sky operates for when there is a TOTAL loss of Sky Broadband or Sky Talk for UK customers.
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/auto-compensation

If you have a total loss of service and it isn’t fixed after two full WORKING days from when Sky are notified of the fault, you will become eligible for it. This auto compensation is applied 30 days after the fault has been repaired and will come in the form of a credit appearing on your Sky account (from April 2026 the rate has increased to £10.34 for every complete day).

Sky broadband discussed here is a domestic service so whilst Sky allow customers who work from home to use it for that purpose they won't receive additional or quicker support.
