    This is probably down to the poor connection from BT in your area rather than sky broadband services.

    Thanks for your sympithy guys.
    And Im really sorry for a really really bad post.
    I was absoultly tamping, really nice day, missues naggin me to go out, but the 500 millionth was comming.
    It cost me a day all for nothing, no fault of Sky Poker of course. (wish I went out before posting). And to be fair Sky BB, has tryed everything also. BT been out 3 times. Had a new mastersocket, different pair of wires from the post to the green box. And nothing has worked. Oddly I only suffer until 5pm EVERYDAY! then its fine all evening..

    I guess there are worse ways to vent off anyways..

    It sounds like electrical interference that is turned of at 5.

    I had the same problem for 3 years with Sky Broadband. I then convinced Sky to send a BT OpenReach Engineer. They deal with the line itself. They tell you it will be £50 call out if it is proved not to be the line. That is to put you off. My engineer was really friendly and he checked my set up in the house and said it was all fine. He then went outside to the Green Box at the end of my road which I assumed was the exchange. He sat there for 5 minutes and then came back in and said it was a poor line and was fitted incorrectly. He then went off in the van to change something out. I have not had a single problem since and my internet has not dropped out once. It used to drop out every 15 minutes or so and sometimes more frequently than that. I am now really happy as the speed is good. Hope this helps mate. Get on the phone and get them to  sort it out!lol
    Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
