Same too, would be great if Sky could let us know the reason for the outage and how long it may take. Currently on Sky's website it says 2 days!

2 days is the normal period mentioned which is the target time Openreach have for fixing issues. This is 2 working days.

BR5 area broadband down yet again

Sky Broadband in BR5 down yet again, 2nd time in a few weeks! Sky used to be really reliable but these days always issues either with Sky itself or BT Openreach. Saying could be up to 2 days to resolve how are we supposed to work from home (seems more the norm these days) without a reliable broadband supplier(s) @SKYHELP

Re: Internet issues in BR6 area?

I am hoping 2 days is a default estimate!


I have enjoyed Sky's service to date but can't stay with a provider who isn't set up to provide quicker fixes or substitute solutions

Re: BR5 area broadband down yet again

There seems to be an outage (again) on the network, not sure if it's a Sky problem or a BT Outreach problem... they never tell you, last time I was nearly two day with a internet connection

BR5 area as well (Petts Wood), same issue happened about 3/4 weeks ago, Openreach engineer finally got the connection back but took nearly 2 days (which seems their limit before we the customers can claim compensation)

Only if you've reported your outage to Sky. The below link explains auto compensation for when there is a TOTAL loss of Sky Broadband or Sky Talk.
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/auto-compensation

If you have a total loss of service and it isn’t fixed after two full WORKING days from when you first report the fault to Sky, you will become eligible for it. It’s applied 30 days after the fault has been repaired and will come in the form of a credit appearing on your account.

Re: Internet issues in BR6 area?

Not really looking for compensation, just want a reliable supplier, and there's more options out there when the time comes and it's not fixed soon (been with Sky for a good few years) Paying alot for our broadband connection as it is, so needs to work and/or get resolved quickly.(never told what the causes are either)
