@Exiled-in-HH I agree and that is what I was told by Hyperoptic.
@GD1 WiFi, but it happens on both. Hyperoptic have said they have updated so surely this is now an issue with Sky?
Sky stream is such a great product but just a little frustrating that I am still having issues, like many others. Also what is happening is when watching iPlayer, it often shuts down during a program and then the stream puck restarts. Also had freezing on UHD sky sports main event in the last week
Thank you both for your help

You will have to report the issue to Sky for their comment😉

Hi @GD1 i have spoken to Sky and they have said there is nothing they can do apparently. They have been very helpful. I have got a call with HO Monday, so what I will do, I will see what they say, and then come back to you. Is this ok?
Thank you for your help, it's much appreciated

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Super+Anthony I'm on Virgin Media (1Gbps) and even when VM had similar issues I never encountered them, i think at that time it was also a DNS or IPV6 issue but I use googles DNS.
I suspect there still could be intemittent issues with one or 2 customers on HO, but until you speak to them & Sky it's just speculation.

Thank you @GD1. I am on Cloudflare or swapped to them a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I should swap to Google? Do you have a view or as you say Let's wait for me to talk to HO. I will back in touch with Tuesday evening or Wednesday. Thanks again

Not sure that Hyperoptic should be recommending factory resets of the Sky Stream.
That is seen as a last resort (despite it being in the puck settings) and it has caused some issues for customers in the account reactivation process that a support call to Sky has to be made to resolve.
This probably is not a speed issue. We know you have a good connection speed, this is more an intermittent connection drop on your local network to the router.
Are you still using the Cloudfare dns?
That Myself and yourself talked about in the 'iPlayer issue' thread on here and from your posts on the main Hyperoptic thread, now closed.
Should not be a problem for this, just curious.
Even though you did a factory reset.
I would try doing a full network reset within the puck settings on your puck.
Making sure after doing that under Settings > Start up and Standby that Networked standby mode is ON and Overnight power saving is OFF
Then doing a power switch off of the puck for about ten minutes.
Up to you on doing a router restart at that time also, but it will not harm.
Expect with your previous dns issues, you have done that many times recently and do not wish to.
If you do, make sure the router is up and ready before repowering the puck.

@lettice where do you go for doing the network refresh? I can't locate it under system management on my Sky stream. I am still on Cloudflare
Settings > Network connection
Select status and go right selecting reset.
Ok, stay on Cloudfare for now.
Not a good idea to keep changing your dns too often.
At some time, like I said before, in a few weeks if HO have really fixed their own dns paths to go back to their own dns settings.

Damm. @lettice I didn't check the settings before turning off. Shall I do the reset again when turning back on? I have just checked the settings and it's on for network stand by and off for overnight power saving

No need to do the network reset again as both those settings you mention above are the recommended ones.
I only mentioned it, in case the network reset rest those.
The power reset you did will help to force and keep them.
