Help with socket wiring
Can anyone help
whilst decorating I have knocked the broadband socket off the wall dislodging the wires. It's a BT Openreach mark 4 socket. It was connected by 2 wires for internet. There is a black one and green one. On back of socket are letters B and A I've tried both wires to each terminal and still no internet connection. Any ideas please ? Help

Re: Help with socket wiring
@DCross1 Can you please run the service checker, this can be done either via the Sky app on mobile data or use the link below.
https://www.sky.com/help/diagnostics/sky-broadband-diagnostic/sky-broadband-diagnostic
If it finds an external fault it should enable you to book an engineer.
After the service checker completes and if it comes back green all good can you click on broadband to run an updated test please. If you get amber or red please follow the on screen instructions.
If you have found this solution helpful please tick this as the answer.

Re: Help with socket wiring
@DCross1 If it can't connect to your router it will flag a fault with the service. As it checks the connection to the router as one of the checks. If you have done the broadband test are you able to call Sky to report this or do you want this escalated via the forum to Sky?

Re: Help with socket wiring
You might find this useful, although the connection is not polarity specific and should work either way round. Sounds as though something snapped when you hit the socket.
Take look at the entry for "CW1406, CW1411 & CW1417 External Dropwire Cable".

Re: Help with socket wiring
Hi @DCross1
An invite was sent but there was no response within 48 hours so it has automatically closed.
If you still need help with this please let us know by posting on the forum again and we will get it escalated through to us.

Apologies had minor emergency at home. Sky have acknowledged fault on line and we've been told should be fixed by end of today. This was Sunday. So far no joy
