was asked to post this on behalf of another player, he wants to remain anonymous but wants to point out that he is deeply unhappy that this happened and cant remain a sky poker player untill sky admit they have serious connection problems and stop blaming their customers for stuff like this, also the site needs a downloadable client as the site is terrible at the moment

    sorry are you saying that the check and fold on river were down to the connection?
    agree about the connection problems havent played since friday night but my wife played dyms yesterday and today said problem was constant.its a big shame because all the good work and exellent comunity building are constantly let down by continous technical problems ruining games.
    this issue MUST be sorted soon im only a low stakes mtt player but i dont bother playing when these problems start as they usually last a couple of days and end in the site completly crashing

    I have been playing a lot of MTT's this weekend and haven't had any connection problems with the site, could it be down to phone/ISP problems caused by the bad weather.

    been playing 4 or 5 sites for the last 3 years and it goes without saying this is the most "technically" inept site by a long long way..do people really use it as their main site?  eek.

    I must admit, I've had also had some disconnection problems over the last couple of days which I don't usually get. Also noticed that in the last 48 hours in particular, the tables seem to take an age to load as well.

    I don't have connection problems but today has been so slow on Sky. Forum refuses to update and when I entered 2 mtts earlier this evening I couldn't get the second table to load for 10 minutes. Immediately afterwards I switched to another site and it's been fine all night. IE has given no probs and my browser is as clean as a whistle.

    I can't speak of other times but this afternoon/tonight something was amiss for sure.

    Can't see why he wants to remain anonymous, I've been shouting about the sites unreliability for a year--sky can easily find out who he is from the hand shown, so why does he not want us to know--- what is he scared of?--- sky Rich perhaps?--lol

    Well--- I suppose we will have to give them the benefit of the doubt on that one, as I've yet to hear about a download version that dos'nt work---and they have been working on it for over a year---lol

    ah thats the problem bad weather,
     
    lol right ,

    seriously do ,

    i being on pokerstars today,

    played 7  double ups simultaneously,

    which opens up 7 poker loby windows automatically,

    so had 14 windows open,

    had no probs what so ever .

    i had to reload sky pokersite twice,

    and then upload freeroll 5 times to play,

    lol--every single time someone opens a thread saying they are having problems with the tables, someone else chimes up and says they have been playing loads of games, and had no problems at all---question is

     are we floppin bovvered?---do we need to know that there is someone on the site that had no problems?

    Hi everyone,

    We have received quite a few reports from various regions regarding outages due to the bad weather.

    This has also been confirmed with certain service providers, which are currently looking into the matter. The problem may be related with the ISPs’ getting the relevant technical teams out to the various regions.

    May I also suggest that players check with the service provider to confirm if they are experiencing the same sort of problems in your region.

    Thank you for your understanding and keep warm ;-)
