SYNC Timing Synchronisation Failure

Hi all,

Am having no end of trouble trying to get something useful out of customer services, cause you know, it’s not a problem with where my router is, so why would I be having issues…? Thought I’d try here as people seem to have had some success with this issue in the past. Logs etc. to follow, I don’t have a broadband monitor set up, but I’ve been recording the dates this has been happening and it’s occurred 10 times in the last month where I’ve lost all signal to my tv and broadband due to this error.

  • Hi DanR2024 👋

    Welcome to the community! Thank you for posting. 

    Sorry to hear about these issues with your Hub connection, concerns due to the timing synchronisation failure, and experience getting support with this so far. 

    There aren't currently any issues in the area, but it does look as though a number of disconnections are registering on the hub which we need to investigate further to offer support. We will just need to send you a PM to confirm a few account details so we can arrange this for you.

    I will do this for you now - you can find the PM in the top right corner of the page in your Inbox. 📩 We can then return to this public thread with another update when possible. Thank you for your patience in the meantime!

    Wishing you all the best. 🌞

        Had an excellent engineer visit this morning and has resolved a number of issues with my physical installation. Time will tell, but hopefully the issues are all resolved!
