iv not in my 4 years with sky had any probs
but those 4 days were long and frustrating

Sky are famous as having terrible customer service, always taking them days (sometimes weeks in my case) to fix anything.

Keeps politics to myself

Keith - I need very reliable internet for the business and rarely have trouble with my system. If you want to talk to my people email me and I will give you some contact details. I have a local bloke who provides a good personal service and they have a good help-desk as well. They are very good for pricing too.

The last time this happened to me, with Virgin. The line is fine, 'e says, try a new cable, 'e says; still not working? You need to go out and buy a new ADSL Microfilter, 'e says cos it would take three days for us to send you one, 'e says...
It WAS a fault on the line, BT bloke came and fixed it...no problem, but five days or so of utter frustration.
If only they had had someone actually check whether the line (connection) was working instead of saying they had checked and all was fine...
Too often nowadays the customer is only there to pay what is asked when it is asked and profits are far removed from any notion of 'service'.
They now have a shiny new cheap-as-chips bank, I hear.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
BarryW gives good advice and has great contacts! I would take his offer!
