Dead BT Openreach modem for Plusnet fibre

Hi,
my BT Openreach box doesn't have any lights on anymore. Looks like it's dead.  Embarrassed
So because of this my plusnet router can't connect to the internet.  Sad
I tried to plug the openreach box to other power socket, I never get any lights.
I've created the ticket 91924231
Is there something else I could do ?
Thanks !
Alex

Hi, unfortunately you will need an engineer to replace the modem.

Hi Alex,
Sorry to hear about this.
Andy is right, we need to send someone out to replace the Openreach box, are you able to PM me your availability for the next few days and I'll book this in for you.

Very scared about the hundreds of topis about BT/Plusnet engineers not showing up...
My engineer is scheduled to come this 'Saturday morning',  anybody knows what's the timeframe for a 'morning' for BT/Plusnet ?

08:00-13:00 is "morning" and 13:00-18:00 is afternoon. They generally ring up to let you know they are on the way.

yes he came on time and fixed the line, and replaced the Openreach box.  Smiley

Unfortunately the Plusnet router is also having issues so it needs to be replaced...  Cry

Received a new router, I've done the setup of the PPPoE user/password myself in the router webGUI, and everything is now working.
Thanks to Dan for dealing with the request and Jaggies for the emotional support  Cool
