Thousands of Sky TV and broadband users across the UK faced major service outages from late night on 14 May into the morning of 15 May. Over 30,000 reports flooded platforms like X and Reddit, with peak disruptions between 1:15 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. While some users found temporary relief by rebooting their Sky boxes, others reported repeated failures.

Anyone else using #Sky broadband or fibre had their router just start to randomly reboot?
As far as I can tell it started on Friday and about twice a day now the router seems to be dropping the WAN, voice and WiFi connections before sorting itself out.
I have just swapped my old Sky router for a a Sky Max Hub. I used to allow 443 to an internal server. I have added a port forward rule, but can't see how to allow it through the firewall. I am not sure if I need to set up Port Trigger (I have never heard of that). I also used to have Dynamic DNS setup. I can't seem to see that option. Anyone know if I can do that?

Sky Broadband UK have started to deploy MAP-T (RFC7599) with their new Sky Hub Max router.
Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) allows IPv4 traffic to be carried over a IPv6 only network.
They are also sharing IPv4 addresses between customers but it looks like adding DMZ settings gives you a 1:1 mapping.
I've been with Sky Broadband for a while, recently re-contracted (on FTTP) and was sent a new Sky Hub Max router (which I didn't need, but I've swapped it over from the old Sky router anyway). As expected, got a change of WAN IP, so updated my ping monitor over at thinkbroadband and was...

Hmm. A bit weird. Tried to sign up with #NowBroadband but it crashes out when I put my mobile in with a "something went wrong; please call us" message. Tried #SkyBroadband instead (I know, same company); I get a technical error message after first form.
Is there a problem at Sky just as I'm trying to switch providers, or something weird about my mobile number that might cause an issue? I really do not want to call them.
Will try again tomorrow, but otherwise might have to go back to #Plusnet.
