Update :

Furious residents have been told there is "no timescale" for when the internet will be fixed after Network Rail cut a cable which led to an outage in Uxbridge and West Drayton.

BT and Sky engineers are working with Network Rail and Hillingdon Council to carry out repair works to get WiFi up and running as soon as they can.

I'm guessing that Hillingdon are providing some sort of support rather than IT expertise here.
Is this really anything to do with Sky? I thought they just used BT lines to provide their broadband.
