Re: Slow speed
Outside of your property Openreach own and therefore maintain the network so if there is a fault outside somewhere then Sky has no jurisdiction to carry out the repair.
If an engineer repair has been booked then updates might be shown here:

Re: Slow speed
I had Sky Fibre 300 installed on Monday and have been getting speeds of 320 since, until around 2pm this afternoon when it dropped to 12 mbps. Reset my router and ONT which has made it range from 100 to 150 which is still nowhere near what I'm paying for. Rang Sky and they claimed my connection was running perfectly so are refusing to book an engineer to come out and check it.

Re: Slow speed
@gibbo1967 As an example i have FF500 fibre, and a Samsung A54 mobile, when it decides it's not going to play anymore and it is only this one stupid phone, then from 500mb/s it is 12mb/s and that is for ever until i switch wifi off and then back on in the phone, and back up to 500mb/s it goes, until it decides again, that can be hours or day's stupid thing....
Speed is up and down depending on the network so on a FF500, anything from 200 to 500mb/s is fine as far as i am concerend, cover's all the needs for getting what is required.

Re: Slow speed
Thanks very much for the advice. Just been on with Sky through the messaging service and they're saying they've now found a fault. It's been passed on to the network team who will contact me in 72 hours.
