Sky max job set up issue
New sky max hub and pod arrived Saturday activation date was Monday Installed hub and at the end it said "we're setting up your max hub. This may take up to 20 minutes". It's now day 2 and still waiting. I've tried
reinstalling as advised at the bottom of the screen
I've tried resetting the hub by holding wsp button for 30 seconds
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling
I've been in touch with sky on chat and they seem baffled by it and told me to do all the above and wait 24 hours or midnight I then called the operator and went through it all again but this time was told to delete the app and reinstall but still not working and been told to wait 24hrs again.
I also can't connect the pod as it says the hub isn't activated.

Re: Sky max job set up issue
Is there a reason why my chat history has vanished, I scope to another operator 4th day and was told someone would text me within 72 hours that could then be 1 full week without my Sky max hub being set up ?

Re: Sky max job set up issue
Hello
I now have access to my Sky max hub and have had a message that the problem was outside and has been fixed but when I test my line speed I'm getting less than 100 meg when I have signed up for 900 ? Could there be another issue ?

How exactly are you measuring this 100Mbps speed?
