Sky broadband suddenly stopped working and no engineer visit
I have had no wifi since last Wednesday booked an engineer to come out they only went to the box outside then sais needed an appointment for an engineer to visit my home so booked that meant to be for today 26th Aug. So I wait in and got to certain time nobody here no text or call or update called them back to be told no one is coming it hasn't been assigned now due to bank holiday we couldn't get appointment till today fair enough but for noone to turn up when I've stayed home all day is frustrating when im told someone will be out today just to be back where I started for openreach to come to the box when I need an engineer to fix it from the property! All I get on the hub is red light done all whats been asked unplugged it and resetting via the was button still nothing 5 days no wifi now been made to wait even longer

@Manning1 Would be better that you call sky and have them do it all again from the start, book the Engineer get the date sorted and go from that point on!

@Manning1 That is what it takes, the Engineer has to be sure the line to the home is good after they checked it was good at the cabinet!

Re: Sky broadband suddenly stopped working and no engineer visit
They already done that and said an engineer would need to visit my home and never bothered now I have to start again this is the 2nd time of doing this, im not paying for a service I aint getting, I cant be the only person that having an issue with an actual engineer coming to my phone they won't even confirm a date or time just says to be confirmed even though an appointment was supposed to be booked for today thats the problem and even sky said they are having trouble with getting actual appointments because it keeps saying there's a problem with the exchange box yet engineer already said problem with the home I've got absolutely nothing so its either the first person didn't bother doing anything in the first place or im getting the run around

Re: Sky broadband suddenly stopped working and no engineer visit
@Manning1 OR the infrastructure Engineers decide what needs to be done, NOT sky, so they advise you what may or may not happen, the engineers can see if your hub is online from there test! If they do not need to go to the home then they will not, but if needed then they will.
Can only pass onto you as a customer like yourself what can or does happen! Plus sometimes the first fix does not work out and yes it leaves you stuck and angry but it happens that is why a call back to sky is required and informing them oops it just did not workout and there is still a problem!
