Any broadband issues between midnight and 7am could be essential overnight maintenance taking place which is carried out then to minimise disruption. There’s no pre-warning of this. See this pinned post at the top of the Broadband board from Sky which could be relevant any night this happens…

If you have an ONT box displaying a red light, see this further advice…

Hopefully it’s back up and running before 7am. If it’s not, try restarting your hub or follow the advice in the post from @GD1

@Explodor   First thing to check is this link to see if there are any outages in your area:

https://www.sky.com/servicechecker

If there isn't 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.

After this has finished and if it reports back all is good click on broadband to run an updated test. If you get amber or red please follow the on screen instructions.

Please be aware that outages after midnight are usually down to maintenance, please see this pinned post https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Important-Notice-Scheduled-Broadband-Maintenance/td-p/5151847...

Re: Orange light and no internet

I'm guessing it was scheduled maintenance as I woke up this morning and everything was fine with my connection. Hopefully the same will be for you
