WiFi hub slowly flashing green

[Dawnye]

The Internet box is slowly flashing green, ive restarted the hub but this hasn't resolved the problem Ive also done a service e check and it says no problems and no local outages but ive no WiFi and as I have the sky puck it means ive also no tv

Seems to be a national outrage. Im in the same boat an otheres I know also on sky 

[Jack331]

I find it rather poor that once again sky internet is down. Come on sky at lest have the decency to apologise 

[Dawnye]

Thank you, very frustrating I really dislike this sky puck time to make the call tomorrow I think 

[Jack331]

It's potentially another cyber attack. Looking on resource like downdetector it would seem all the mainstream internet and media suppliers are having issues 

•BT down 

•sky down 

•KCOM down 

•EE experiencing issues 

•plusnet experiencing issues 

•TalkaTalk experiencing issues 

•Vodafone experiencing issues 

•three experiencing issues 

•IDnet experiencing issues. 

Other sites such as the coop bank, Disney plus, curry's are also having problems

@Jack331 incredibly unlikely it was a "national cyber attack" far more likely is a localised outsge caused by Openreach doing essential overnight maintenance in your area.  This happens to different lines virtually every night and of course affects any isp whose customers are on that connection. 

A national outsge even a brief one would be headline news. Sky rarely post in the forum but where there is known major issue the status page is updated. No isp can guarantee 24/7 connectivity

[Jack331]

Yeah local maintenance that's why people from across the country was expecting the outage 🤡 

no point trying to say otherwise I know a lot more about cyber security than you

@Jack331 

At about 0100 this morning DownDetector reports 206 people saying they have an issue. As Sky broadband has millions of customers that's a very small number and unsurprisingly is at the time that Openreach commence any essential overnight maintenance. 

If it was a cyber attack the forum would have been overrun with reports to the point of crashing.

@Jack331 sorry boaringly we see similar posts most mornings which either mean there is a cyber attack most nights which the authorities are hushing up or to my mind more likely an Openreach engineer took some kit down to do some work.
