Sky Gfast 150 keeps cutting out
Hi,
I had sky GFast 150 broadband installed about 17 days ago (just passed the 14 day money back period!!) and unfortunately the broadband seems to keep cutting out! Me and my wife work from home and so reliability of connection is paramount.
please help!!!!

Are you connecting via wire or wireless, how far are you from the router?

All lights are green on the router. I am on WiFi and the router is only a few metres from me. WiFi signal is full

@hsa123 There is nothing on that line showing anything with a problem you have been nearly up 2 day's with no issues, so you have something else going on.

@hsa123 To further test you would be better if you can Ethernet connect direct on the SR204 hub that you will have, and run either a www.fast.com or a Broadband Speed Test | thinkbroadband test, wireless cannot care about at present.

Re: Sky Gfast 150 keeps cutting out
The speed is ok and I have done fast.com checks. The problem is that the internet completely drops out for a few seconds multiple times a day. I have just changed over from plus net and this never happened in the three years I was with them at this address.

Was the Plusnet connection also over G.fast?

Re: Sky Gfast 150 keeps cutting out
@hsa123 G.Fast connections although they do push the speed limit boundries way up there, the first question to ask is 1. hopefully OR came swapped out your Master socket and fitted a special G.Fast version instead off the standard one! The socket will have a G.Fast stamped on it, bottom LHS corner! See the picture link!
