Loss of internet Ref LOS Light

[Hooky+23]

Whilst watching Netflix tonight the internet completely dropped out and now we have no service at all with Red LOS light showing and amber light in the router.

Had noticed some drop outs of late however put that down to too many users at once.

 I've tried all the connections and cables and restarted the system to no avail.

Please help with the summer holidays my kids will have a meltdown in the morning.

 Thanks in advance

Mine too.  There's a lot of reports for the same thing online.  Obviously a sky issue somewhere 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Hooky+23  & @Louise1940  Is this still the case this morning as the time you posted was the time for maintence.

[Louise1940]

Yes.  Still not working 

[Highlinder]

@Louise1940  Can you try below to see if it picks up the fault please.

Can you please run the service checker, this can be done either via the Sky app on mobile data or use the link below.

If it finds an external fault it should enable you to book an engineer.


After the service checker completes and if it comes back green all good can you click on broadband to run an updated test please. If you get amber or red please follow the on screen instructions.

@Highlinder , the service checker consistently comes back as everything ok.  Ran it again this morning

noticed an orange light on the back of the hub. The connection to the fibre in the wall. 
nowcthe app says checker unavailable

@Louise1940 I have escalated your post to Sky who may be in touch with you regarding this via a private message on this forum or an email to you, both of which will invite you to a private chat.

Ours also did the same through the night, I care for my wife who suffers a rare disease who is a night owl due to what she calls Painsomnia. About 4:30 she noticed reports online were dwindling and asked me to reboot the hub. At this point service was restored, but exactly the same issue whereby Openreach modem showed red LOS light, and Sky Max Hub showing red led lit solid.

Just called Sky and they had no knowledge of a major outage at this time.

Hi there! Thank you for escalating this. We have sent @Louise1940 an invite.

@boab400  Did Sky say what you had to do to get rid of the red LOS light on the ONT?
