I think Sky are telling you porkies. Once Sky have activated your vdsl2 line, the Openreach DLM system (sitting in your FTTC cabinet) takes over the running of your line. Any disconnections will be down to the DLM as it constantly (24/7) monitors your vdsl2 line. The Sky agent may have got VDSL2 & ADSL2 mixed up, Sky do have more control on the latter as Sky use their own DLM system but obviously you're not on ADSL2 . So the question you should be asking is, why is the DLM disconnecting you at certain times of the day? My guess is excessive noise on the line which is being created by something electrical being switched on/off during those times.
Regarding Q1, I'm not sure if the Sky modem/router can be modified? Even if you could, you're at the mercy of the Openreach DLM.
The only thing I can suggest is, perhaps try a different vdsl2 modem as different modems give different results. Worth trying out the Huawei HG612 (cheap as chips on ebay but still a rock solid modem) or the Draytek 130 modem. Or if you want an all-in-one modem router, then something like the TP Link VR2800 or Asus DSL-AC88U is highly recommended. You may get both Asus DDNS & AiMesh working on the Asus DSL-AC88U.
Edit: sorry realised you’re already using the hg612, in that case try the draytek 130 or the Tplink W9930 in modem only mode. I don’t think the sky router can be used in modem only mode. |
