Interent outage

Its' been 20 mins by now there is no internet in my flat. The second and the fourth led are ambers not green. Your app bandwidth checker claims everything is OK. It's useless. I need my internet access back asap. Thanks.

In view of the time you’ve posted it’s worth mentioning that broadband issues between midnight and 7am could be essential overnight maintenance taking place. It is carried out at those times to minimise disruption and there is no advance warning provided..

See this pinned post at the top of the Broadband board from Sky which could be relevant any night this happens…

No ISP guarantees uninterrupted service: the topology of the national cabled network makes that completely impossible.

 

The Openreach target time to resolve an external fault on domestic broadband is rather longer than 20 minutes: for a fault reported on a Friday it extends into the following Tuesday.  Openreach reports to Ofcom that they meet this target for around 85% of issues.
