I am sitting in my study working and within 3 hours my internet has cut off 12 times! It just keeps constamntly dropping, my Alexa tirns off and pages I am working on freeze.
I am involved in safeguarding work and this is compromising my sitruation - seriously!

Hi, @Madds.
Can you run the Broadband Test, this can be done either via the MySky App on mobile data or use this link. If it shows a fault you should be able to book an engineer via the app. Also, could you post your Router stats and a 24hr system log? This link explains how to do that https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/How-to-find-your-Sky-Broadband-router-stats/td-p/2855717#
I may also add, that reduced WIFI speeds are extremely common. As the location of the Broadband Hub, the structure of the property/location using the WIFI, how many devices are connected and external interference from neighbours' WIFI on the same channel, usually pressing the reset button on the back can solve this issue as it will auto find the best channel to connect to. Moreover, the practical solution would be using ethernet cables preferably CAT5e or above for most activities that can be supported for. And adding various external WIFI boosters may not solve the issue but cause more interference. Sky does not guarantee wifi speeds unless you buy their top-up Boost package and even then it is only minimal speeds but they normally will give those customers a booster if asked.
Otherwise, to discuss your issue further it would be best to call sky on 150 from your landline or
zero three three three seven five nine one zero one eight from any other phone.

Given that 4Mbs 'warning' you may well have a line fault that needs Openreach to remedy it: that's what the Hub stats can reveal, but they aren't strictly necessary to log an issue with Sky.
Unfortunately working from home, no matter what the job role is, doesn't either make your physical connection more robust or generate a quicker response from the internet service provider or Openreach.
