Drops out, virtually the same time everyday
I'm losing my broadband every day, for less than a second (!), and it always seems to be the same time. 7.30am (ish ) and again around 10.00am. I've checked connection on Sky, but it says all OK.

Re: Drops out, virtually the same time everyday
@Daniel+live if you have a partial fibre line interference from an electrical device switching on or off can cause a brief loss on connectivity. This used to be a common issue with Christmas lights but less so these days withthe use leds and solid state electronics. While it could be a device outside your home it is more likely something switching on of off in your home and briefly sparking.
Full fibre services are not affected by this type of interference

Thanks for this, but I do have full fibre.

Re: Drops out, virtually the same time everyday
@Daniel+live in which case it is difficult to explain. Do the indicator lights on your hub change when you lose connectivity. The hub renegotiates the server lease periodically but that is a background activity and should not causeca noticeable break. If it affects WiFi it could be interference of the type mentioned n]but it is fairly unlikely.

@Daniel+live What are you using to confirm the times off the drop out's that you are seeing?

Lights on my box don't change and I know the times as I'm online, or trying to be !
