Fibre cable cut
The recently installed fibre cable has been cut through by a gardening tool
Obviously there is no internet but all the Sky troubleshooting tests detect that it is working ok. I just want to book an engineer visit but can't seem to. App and website sending me in loops of wifi testing etc. Where do I go to fix this? Chat bot was no help.

You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.
After this has finished and if it reports back all is good click on broadband to run an updated test. If you get amber or red please follow the on screen instructions.

Re: Fibre cable cut
Thank you. 🙏🏻 I appreciate your response .Yes, you were correct - after some time I could run a test which detected the problem which allowed me to book an engineer. Managed to get one within 48hours and they promptly fixed the cable.
