Live Issue: Intermittent broadband connection issues for a small number of Sky Broadband customers

Broadband

We are aware of a number of customers who are experiencing intermittent service issues with their Sky Broadband service. We are currently working on identifying and fixing the small number of telephone exchanges affected and will post more details no later than Wednesday 29 th February on how we plan to resolve the current issues. We apologise for anyone experiencing connection problems and would encourage impacted customers to check back here on Wednesday for an update. Thank you.

You will find that NewsreadeR and SatDish have set up a RSS feed that picks things like this up automatically.

For Broadband issues: Sky Broadband Service Status

Sky Talk issues end up in: Sky Talk

There are also feeds for Sky TV issues too.

P.S. Often they appear on this site before they appear on the Sky website. Also since once the post is made it is not deleted, members can look to see any historical trends.

an advisor on their forums has confirmed that its also related to the latency problems they been having and more data is to come once they get a look into it

I never knew Sky deleted them once the issue was resolved, just checked, and they do.

I hope Sky sort things out for those suffering with latency issues, but in all fairness, I bet even Sky are amazed at how many people they have signed up thus far.

I know for definite, adding additional backhaul is a priority. It doesn't help those that are suffering, but it does show that Sky are serious about being one of the (if not the) best ISPs out there.

This is one huge advantage to SkyUser have the RSS feeds.

If someone asks just how reliable Sky is, it can be seen in the forum's archives. The volume of posts IMHO shows a good trend. It also shows that whoever makes the posts never checks their spelling & grammar judging by the number of typos in them.
