My broadband has not worked for 24 hours.

My broadband has been down since 6th October. I'm paying for a service I can't use and I need it to be able to work. Sky haven't even contacted me to explain why it's not working! Please can someone fix it and also compensation is required as I've not been able to use any of the services I pay to use as well!

Openreach don't work on domestic faults at weekends. Regarding the 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.

@MGHB unfortunately as you will have read your assumptions on what happens when there is a broadband fault are incorrect something you are not only customer to.have as this comes up frequently. Sky customers are buying a package sold for domestic use which is significantly cheaper than business packages which come with higher service levels. As a guide a 12 hour/7 day SLA was recently quoted as costing £300 per month..

 

Few business ISPs will pro-actively contact the customer when the service goes down as simply there is often no way they can know a line is down as opposed to not being used until they are told.. Note the compensation scheme linked in earlier posts kicks  after 2 full working days from when you report the fault by calling Sky a forum post will not count as a report. 

 

The fact you choose to use your connection for work is your choice but does not give you any priority. Sky are not unique all of the mass market ISPs have similar terms in their contracts. Millions of people do as you do and work from home but it is wise to have a fall back plan for the odd occasions when the line is down. 

Hope you get your service back soon.
