Has Sky Q broken my broadband

I've had ADSL broadband with Plusnet for about a year, up until yesterday it's been working OK.

 

 

Yesterday I had Sky Q installed.

 

Last night instead of usual broadband speeds of 12-15 Mbs I was getting about 1Mbs. Same again tonight.

 

 

During the day today it was OK, and I actually measured 15 Mbs.

 

 

At the times its slow the Sky Q box has downloads scheduled, but they are stuck, Sky Q reports that it can connect to the router but not the internet. (During the day today when it was working their where no downloads trying to run.)

The Q box is connected via ethernet cable to a powerline connector which goes to a powerline the router is connected to. This set up worked perfectly with previous Sky HD box.

 

Early this morning I turned of the Sky Q internal powerline in settings, and I've just turned off all the wifi in the Sky Q box. I've also left the ethernet cable unplugged for the time being. I've rebooted the router since doing that.

 

I'm still only seeing 1 meg speed now though. 

 

Is it possible that Plusnet has slowed my connection because of something the Sky Q box was doing?

 

All suggestions how to resolve this welcome.

Using my wife's computer, which is connected directly to the router with ethernet cable, I also only get 1Mb/s.

Hi there,

 

Diagnostic tests don't point towards any obvious issues but do let us know how you get on with the troubleshooting checks in case they reveal anything.

Within a half-hour of posting, broadband recovered and has been OK since. I don't really know what happened. Maybe turning off Sky Q box wifi helped.

Possibly, good to hear it's sorted now though.
