Hi,
My Sky Q is hardwired from the BT hub.
All internet channels (BBC, Netflix, YouTube, Amazon) run for a few minutes then stop and buffer for even longer.
Speed checked using Netflix: 6Mbps
Current speed via Hub (tested with computer): Download 74Mbps, Upload 18Mbps.
A new cable was installed between hub and Sky Q box - no change.
Computer and Sky Q box cables swapped in the hub to see if that was any better - same result, 6Mbps.
I'm thinking that the Sky Q box is at fault. Please advise as to a valid email or phone number I should use to report this.
Thanks in advance.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Stu042 Have you tried a power down of the main Q box by removing the plug for 30 seconds then plugging back in.
If the issue still persists after doing this please post back.

Hi @GD1
Yes, the one thing I should have mentioned to begin with, I didn't mention: I have certainly uplugged Sky Q box from the mains etc etc.
Internet signal is still very low and all services continue to buffer.
