[Technology] Sky Broadband down

[zeetha]

Just in case anyone else has Sky as their broadband provider and is having issues connecting. Ours stopped working just after 6pm and it took them over an hour to admit it was a 'problem in Brighton & Hove' but actually from Twitter looks like its country wide. Thought it might be useful info for anyone who was feeling frustrated with it not working.

'Helpfully' the SkyHelpTeam twitter account and website are still telling people to check their broadband line rather than admit theres an outage!

This is another symptom of Brexit/Covid, the syndrome where a virus allows a Government to brush it's uselessness under a carpet of 'not our fault, sunny uplands incoming'.

Fact.

Sky Broadband is the worst. Had it for 5 years - constantly dropping out and poor speeds (5-10 mbps), before moving to Three mobile broadband, now getting flawless BB at c100mbps.
