Here you will find Test Participation – make sure this feature is switched off. <\/p>\n

"If you can advise if this resolves the issue for you or not and we can feed this back to the support teams," the Sky employee wrote. <\/p>\n

'Worst decision ever'<\/h2>\n

With millions now relying on streaming services like Netflix for their evening entertainment, customers aren't happy with the partial outage. <\/p>\n

"Why is this happening every day? We are paying for a service we can't use," X user @neilgreen2023 wrote. <\/p>\n

Another customer, @jkd1969, tweeted: "What if you don't have multiscreen? Worse decision ever to get Netflix through Q box."<\/p>\n

However, one savvy Sky viewer has reminded fellow customers that they still have access to the service – it's just not working via their Sky boxes currently. <\/p>\n

"It's [worth] pointing out what you are paying for is access to a service called Netflix," the customer wrote in Sky's help forum. <\/p>\n

"Your login will work. You have access to the service.<\/p>\n

"I understand how frustrating this must be, which is why I am saying stop trying to use it that way until they fix it, which could take a very long time. <\/p>\n

"They have at least acknowledged the issue, that doesn't always happen.<\/p>\n

"Problems like this aren't easy to fix."<\/p>\n
