Have downtime settings been removed?

A friend of mine has sky internet and has asked me to help with finding a replacement router that will allow them to schedule times for the router to stop internet activity to prevent their children staying up late on various devices. A quick search suggests that there is a feature on sky routers for this very thing but they claim that the feature was recently removed. I can't physically check because they're hours away but I wanted to see if the downtime feature has indeed been removed. It seems like this is a pretty standard feature these days so I can't imagine sky would just remove it for no reason.

 

Cheers

I suspect you are referring to the Broadband Buddy feature of the Broadband Boost add-on: that is indeed no longer available (although Broadband Boost is still a thing)

 

Parental control over devices and hours is now in the WiFi Max product.
