No internet since Wednesday

No internet since Wednesday night. Tried all the tests suggested by Sky but no resolution. Finally got through on the phone yesterday eve and they said it is Open reach issue usually resolved in two days. Unable to say how long it will take though or confirm if relevant part of Open reach to our issue is being resolved. Is this normal?

Yes. In the UK the service level agreement between ISP’s and Openreach for fixing a fault is 2 WORKING DAYS. So reporting it on Thursday evening gives them until Tuesday morning before auto compensation kicks in. 

The below link explains the Ofcom agreed auto compensation scheme which Sky operates for when there is a TOTAL loss of Sky Broadband or Sky Talk for UK customers.

If you have a total loss of service and it isn’t fixed after two full WORKING days from when Sky are notified of the fault, 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 Sky account (from 01/04/24 the rates are £9.76 per day). There is no equivalent scheme in place for customers in the Republic of Ireland.

As Sky broadband discussed here is a domestic set up there is no extra or quicker support for those working from home.
