Internet going down
Our internet keeps going off randomly for no reason, all checks say that its fine, are has no outages but it keeps disconnecting and turning off and then coming back on 2 minutes later.

Re: Internet going down
@Elouize
For broadband issues the first thing to do, even if you’ve already tried it, is to use this link to check to see if there are any broadband issues or outages nearby ~
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker
This should identify if there's a known fault, perhaps affecting multiple households.
NOTE: It doesn’t necessarily disclose a problem immediately and there is up to an hours delay before the service checker picks up a lost connection so perhaps try it again later.
If there aren't any then try running the line test here
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/broadband-diagnostic-start
You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.
Once completed, if it reports back that all is okay click on 'broadband' to run an updated test. If you get amber or red you need to follow the on-screen instructions.
If you’re still having problems you may need to contact Sky to report it. The easiest way is to dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline if it’s still working.

Bad weather; Adverse weather can also impact your broadband.
Working from home; Sky broadband being discussed here is a domestic service and whilst it's fine for those customers working from home to use it, they won’t receive additional or quicker support.

Re: Internet going down
@Elouize then call Sky in the morning so they can get the issue checked out but note if you have a partial fibre connection in an area hit by last night's storm there will be a delay in getting any action as loads of lines will have faults.
