See further down about hub lights…

Wi-Fi and broadband are different. Wi-Fi is the wireless connection between your hub and your devices. Broadband is the internet connection provided by your ISP (Sky).

The first thing to do, even if you’ve already tried it, is to use this link to check to see if there are any broadband issues or outages nearby ~
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker

This should determine if there's an identified fault, perhaps affecting multiple households.

NOTE: It doesn’t necessarily disclose a problem immediately and there is up to an hours delay before the service checker picks up a lost connection so perhaps try it again later.

If there aren't any then try running the line test here
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/broadband-diagnostic-start
You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.

Once completed, if it reports back that all is okay click on 'broadband' to run an updated test. If you get amber or red you need to follow the on-screen instructions.

If you’re still having problems you may need to contact Sky to report it. The easiest way is to dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline if it’s still working.

Hub lights; This link provides information about the coloured lights on the various hubs
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/hub-lights-explained-start

Red light on ONT; See this link ~

Bad weather; Adverse weather can also impact your broadband.

Working from home; Sky broadband being discussed here is a domestic service and whilst it's fine for those customers working from home to use it, they won’t receive additional or quicker support.

Try rebooting your broadband hub at the mains, if this doesn't fix it then give this a try:


Try running this line test to see if it finds any faults:
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/broadband-diagnostic-start


You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.


After this has finished and if it reports back all is good click on broadband to run an updated test. If you get amber or red please follow the on screen instructions.


If this is of no help give Sky a call to report it to them.
