Additionally, you might learn when it might be fixed, or at the very least, that Sky is aware of the issue and is attempting to address it.

What to do if Sky broadband is down

If your Sky Broadband is down, call Sky at 0333 7591 018 for assistance or to report a problem. You may also view your service status or check your account status on the Sky website.

You can take the following steps as well if your sky broadband is down:

For the most audible signal:

Keep your sky broadband visible; don't leave it on the floor, in a cabinet, or tucked behind the TV. The ideal distance is roughly 30 cm.

Keep your sky broadband away from other wireless devices because they can interfere, such as your cordless phone, gaming systems, and even speakers.

To prevent electrical interference, try to keep your sky broadband away from other electrical devices, such as microwaves, washing machines, and even fairy lights. And keep your cable clear of tangles.

The more things you connect to your hub, the more bandwidth is used, which can slow you down. App updates, device backups, and your smart home gadgets may continue using bandwidth in the background even when you aren't using them.

To prevent them from consuming too much of your bandwidth while attempting to browse, work, or play, consider disconnecting anything that isn't necessary. Additionally, try to refrain from high-speed activities like online gaming.

If your hub is using a wireless channel that is too busy, such as if your neighbours' hubs or other wireless devices are all using the same one, you may experience slower performance.

Wireless connections are not as reliable as connecting using a cable. If you can, try using an Ethernet cable to connect your laptop or desktop computer to your hub because connected connections are faster and more reliable than wifi. If you need further assistance, go to connecting devices to your hub.
