Checking your service status

You can check your connection in My Account using our live service status monitor, which will show as either green, orange or red. For an explanation of your service status, just hover over the service status button in the top right corner.

In the unlikely event that your connection is disrupted, or if there’s any planned maintenance work coming up, you’ll be able to see when we expect it to be resolved here too.

Troubleshoot your connection

If your service is not working, click on the button below and check this step-by-step guide to troubleshoot on your own.

Slow speeds?

If you’re still having issues with your speed, we’ve pulled together some simple steps that could help.

Port forwarding

IPv4 addresses are in short supply, so we use Carrier Grade Nat (CGN) for a more efficient use of our IPv4 address range. Some applications (including online gaming and VPNs) might be affected by CGN. Port forwarding can help with this – just remember that you’ll need a static IPv4 address, which you can buy from us for £5 a month.
If you already have a static IP, check out our handy port forwarding guides below, which also include information on how to put your devices in a demilitarized zone (DMZ).
