Internet issues

Hi 

 

In last two weeks I seem to be having more issues with my internet connection than ever before. 

The internet connection seems to be dropping out on a daily basis. 

I'm concerned that I've got some form of security breach too. 

Please can I ask you to double check these points 


Thanks

We can't check anything. You aren’t contacting Sky here. This is a customer ▶️ customer discussion forum where we try to help other customers.


The first thing to try (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 ~ (it doesn’t necessarily disclose a problem immediately and it can take an hour+ to update so perhaps try it again later).
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker
This should determine if there's an identified fault, perhaps affecting multiple households.

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.
