Start by using this link to check if there are any issues locally that may identify a known fault which could be affecting multiple households ~
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker

It’s always worth rechecking it as the Service Checker doesn’t necessarily disclose a problem immediately and there is up to an hours delay before it picks up a lost connection so we tend to advise trying it again later.

If there aren't any then 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.

Once completed, if it reports back that all is okay click on 'broadband' to run an updated test. If you get amber or red you need to follow the on-screen instructions.

If you’re still having problems you may need to report it to Sky again. The easiest way is to dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline (if it’s still working).

Red light on ONT?; See this link ~

Working from home?; Sky broadband discussed on here is a domestic service and whilst Sky allow customers working from home to use it, they won’t receive additional or quicker support.

Hi @DawnFeathersto   Is this Sky Q TV problem (this community) or a broadband problem? Note you are only asking other custoners, not Sky.

Sorry @MightyQuinn our posts crossed. I've already moved it to the Broadband board.
