Wi-Fi dropping out

Hi there

 

I've recently had sky broadband installed however I lose internet connection several times a day. Each time it drops out it reconnects within 20-30seconds. 

Open reach couldn't find any issue with the connection. Can anyone help?

After speaking with Buzzwaffle we ran a line test which detected a fault on the line and an engineer has been booked in to resolve this shortly.

It was great speaking with you Buzzwaffle and thanks again.

Thanks
Tom

Thanks for your reply.  

It starts dropping out whenever I stream video. We have a sky glass tv and once that is streaming, it drops out every 20-30 minutes.

I will escalate to sky you are barely above your guarantee with multiple drop outs and high'ish noise margin. In this case a line fault will both cause low speed and drop outs

 

I've escalated your post via the community chat. This link explains how it works

Keep an eye out for an invite or blue chat bubble. When the blue bubble does appear you have 48 hours to respond or it will be automatically closed.

Dynamic Line Management for the speeds yeah. When it's already in this process there's nothing we can or need to do. If after the 10 days it isn't any better then we can escalate again, which customer is aware of 🙂

Thanks
