Sky TV Down for Thousands of Homes as Outages Reported Across UK
Sky TV and internet outages affected thousands of users, with 79% of reported issues related to the TV service, Downdetector data shows.
- Sky TV was reported down across the UK, with thousands of viewers in major cities experiencing outages, according to reports on the morning of the incident.
- Downdetector's monitoring showed an abnormal spike in reports, validating and analysing them in real time while it was understood a technical issue caused some Sky Q boxes to enter standby.
- Downdetector's data shows most reports tied to the TV system, with 79% related to TV, 11% to streaming, 10% to internet, and users posting `Anyone else got @skytv SKY TV problems?`
- Reports peaked just before 7am with more than 8,000 users affected, and customers accused Sky of 'unacceptable service' after no updates; the issue was later resolved and service restored.
- The outage echoes a larger Sky disruption last May when tens of thousands reported issues, Downdetector, described as 'where people go when services don't work,' monitors disruptions, and Newsquest and national outlets contacted Sky for comment.
