A Sky Broadband outage is causing a domino effect in which many high-profile banks are also reporting issues with their services. Customers of Banks like TSB, NatWest, Santander, and more are facing issues accessing their online banking and mobile banking services.

Now, Sky Help Team says it is aware of this issue and is working on it on priority.

It seems many Sky broadband users are unable to use the internet as the service is going through an outage. Here are some reports for reference:
