Internet dropping, solid orange lights

My sky hub keeps losing connection several times a day. The internet and voice lights go solid orange for a few minutes before going green again. I try and run the diagnostic from the pop up window but it never finds anything. Anyone else had these issues?

I see it dropped 41 minutes ago , how many times would it drop in a 24 hour period?

 

Usually with several drops a day you would expect the speed to suffer

Maybe 4 or 5 times a day. Its only for a short while though and then it comes right back.

Is the router connected to the master phone socket using the supplied Sky cable and microfilter if you dont have a prefiltered faceplate?

 

Is this the only phone socket in use in the home?

Looks  like that. An engineer fitted it originally so hopefully that's right

Yes thats right and looks quite a new install so I wouldn't think there is an issue with it. Suggests your problem is an external one. 

I think you'd be best calling or having us escalate the issue on the forum for you so you can talk to an agent.

Did you manage to find a resolution to this? We're having the exact same problems, even desite swapping over to a new Sky Broadband Hub that was posted out to us...

The strangest thing was after posting on here the problem completely stopped. Not sure what the cause or solution was in the end unfortunately
