No broadband connection

[Leigh35]

No broadband connection; tried the service checker (no problems in my area) and line checker multiple times over 2 days; line checker says the following:

"

We're having some problems and our tests are unavailable at the moment.

Try again later so we can test your connection.

"

The router has only 2 green LEDs lit; the "Internet" LED remains off; the landline (phone) works OK.

The router log:

syslog: [ 7.638000] eth0 (Int switch port: 3) (Logical Port: 3) Link DOWN.

Ok looks like you are on an old adsl connection which isn't working. What speed do you normally get

Could you enter your full address below snd post the table and notes after removing your address from the image

[Leigh35]

Usually get about 57 Mb/s.

My bad. Syslog was reporting adsl due to no connection 

Give sky a call to sort your line out or you should be able to upgrade to fttp full fibre

Contact sky as below

Follow the link and choose need more help

https://www.sky.com/help/home/

If in the Republic of Ireland go to the bottom of the page and change the flag to Republic of Ireland

[Leigh35]

I cannot upgrade to full fibre as there is no line-of-sight telegraph pole to my address and I can't have my driveway dug up.

Clicking that link does not provide a phone number to call, it only takes me to the service checker and line tester that I have already tried.

@Leigh35 

If you wish we can escalate this to sky to save you the hassle

[Hello,+I+do+not+s]

[Leigh35]

Yes it needs escalating to Sky.

Nothing. Is there a phone number of e-mail address I can use to contact Sky Broadband technical support?  If there isn't then there should be.
