hello all,
for the past few weeks i`ve been having problems connecting to sky broadband. I like to switch all my electrical stuff off at the wall before i go to work in the morning. However, when i get in and switch on my sky router, 99% of the time it refuses to connect to the network. more often than not, it takes an hour or two before it comes on, usually between 6pm and 7pm though sometimes as late as 10pm.
However, and this is the most confusing part (for me). if i leave the thing on all day it stays connected 100% of the time, when i get in it will still be on.
I`ve checked the sky website and it says they are working on servers in north wales, and apparently this is affecting parts of the wirral too (which is where i live). I just dont understand why if i leave it on it stays connected, but if i turn it off and then try to connect it doesnt work. I read the small print in my contract and i understand i get throttled for three months if i go over my limit, but nowhere does it state they will take away my service entirely during the day.
I`ve noticed if i download a steam game or something over the weekend it wont come on till say 9 or 10 pm, but if i havent used the web much it will come on much sooner.
anyways, sorry about the wall o` text, just wondered if anyone else has been in the same position.
