@Cathy11 

Have you reported it to Sky since then? 

[Cathy11]

Yes I have  .

If it requires intervention from Openreach their target fix time is 2 working days. If the fault requires the road or pavement digging up it'll take longer as Openreach need to gain permission from the local authority. 

This link explains auto compensation for when there is a total loss of Sky Broadband or Sky Talk.

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/auto-compensation

If you have a total loss of service and it isn’t fixed after two full WORKING days from when you first report the fault to Sky, 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 account.

What did they say the problem was then? Often faults can take 2-5 working days to fix

[Cathy11]

OK just want the Internet working again. Not bothered about compensation. 

[Cathy11]

Said the problem was  with the  telephone  line.

@Cathy11 

So are they sending an engineer out or what?

[Cathy11]

They sent one out on Tuesday . Haven't heard anything back from  them  since  then.

Sky  keep  saying  they will  fix  it  but they  never  do.

The responsibility falls to Openreach not Sky. Give Sky a call and see if they've had an update from Openreach. 

[Cathy11]

Gave sky a call earlier . Just said they are still working it on and to give them a call tomorrow if it isn't fixed.

@Cathy11 

Then that's what you'll need to do. Without knowing what the issue is, where it is or what's required in order to fix it we can't help any further. 

[Cathy11]

OK. 

[Cathy11]

Since then  they have  said  they  are  going to  fix it on Friday.  We have to  ring  sky  for a  update  from  open reach  on Tuesday.
