It’s the go-to mobile network for millions of people across the UK.
But it appears that Sky Mobile is having problems this morning that have left hundreds of users unable to access the internet on their smartphones.
The tech giant took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the issue, writing: ‘We are aware that some Sky Mobile customers are experiencing issues with their 3G/4G/5G services.
‘We are investigating the issue and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing.’
On social media, customers have been left fuming over the internet provider’s ‘patchy’ service.

Today’s outages follow a similar service disruption that left hundreds of users unable to access the internet for five hours earlier this week.

Reports dipped overnight as customers slept but have leapt back up this morning with 262 outage reports at 08:28 am BST.

‘Sky Mobile is down for a second time this week. When do you expect this to be resolved please?’, asked another.

On X, one commenter wrote: ‘Sky mobile is down in Leeds. I have a phone that won’t work for anything if I turn off my WiFI and I need to leave for work soon.
Of those who have reported experiencing issue 68 per cent report having issues with their internet and 26 per cent say they have had issues with their mobile phone.
