Sky broadband down: Thousands of Brits left without internet access

Sky’s broadband service has gone down across parts of the UK knocking angry customers offline.

The issues began at approximately 3pm today, August 4 and are affecting people in London and Cardiff.

However, other reports have flooded in from different areas of the country.

‘Down in Bournemouth. Looks like their DNS servers have messed up somewhere,’ Sky customer ‘Kels’ posted on the website Downdetector.

‘Down in Surrey,’ added Phil H.

‘Down in Lincoln,’ reported Marc Pierce.

Sky has acknowledged the issue and says it is working to resolve it.

‘Some customers may not be able to get online,’ the company tweeted.

‘We are currently working to resolve this. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.’
