Please help with constant loss of connection

Hi Sky Hub Team,

 

Our broadband has been having connection issues for over 3 months now. It has been particularly bad the last 3-4 weeks. Today the connection was going off every ~20 mins. We have 3 adults working/studying from home. So as you can imagine, when there is multiple disconnections half way through a meeting or online exam it can get quite fustrating rather quickly.  

 

Your team has kindly sent a technician over to do some testing but he could not identify any problems. 

We have also tried a new broadband but the problem seems persistent. If not worse than ever. 

 

Feeling rather disheartening at the moment. Is there anyone that could help? 

 

Kindly,

a Sky Customer

@Oi_Kakaroto there is a pretty clear line fault which is shown by the very high noise margins and the fact your connection is currently artificially limited to 60Mb/s dowwn and 15Mb/s up. That limit has been imposed to stabilise the line which isn't working as it is still dropping.

I would expect the connection test in the My Sky app to order an engineer. If it doesn't call Sky and say the last visit did nothing and you need tge issue looked at again.

Re: Please help with constant loss of connection

As I am paying you for a service can I please have a hub that doesn't keep losing connection? I've followed every piece of your advice but the problem persists.

Can you post your router stats and explain the issue you are having in a new thread, there is a post at the top of this forum area that explains how to post the router stats.
