Re: Calculate Early Termination Fee

@Aa65 I would suggest that you create your own topic in the Fibre board with a few more details - having in 'My account' on an unrelated thread doesn't help visibility.

Re: Calculate Early Termination Fee

Hiya @Aa65

 

I'm really sorry to hear that your connection is dropping and for the hassle that it is causing you. I have run a test and its not flagging up an external cause, but looking at the image below we know that something is causing the drops. 

 

Can you go through the steps here and come back to me with how you get on.

Re: Calculate Early Termination Fee

@Aa65 Have you followed @SammyM 's request for running the tests? If you want a second opinion: 

For Community members to be able to help, information from these two sites, as screenshots:-

BT Broadband(obscuring your phone number) and BTW Performance Tester - Over a wired (ethernet) connection if at all possible, please report the 'ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS', and sight of the broadband connection status from your Hub would be a good starting point.

For the Hub One -

Navigate from the Home Screen to Troubleshooting > Helpdesk

For the Hub Two -

Navigate from the Home Screen to Advanced Settings > Technical Log > Information

It may also be a good idea to report the results of a Quiet Line Test - dial 17070 option 2 from a (preferably corded) phone. After the confirmation of your phone number, there should be total silence apart from the regular 'Quiet Line Test' announcement. Any other noise - report a PHONE fault first.

If phone test is OK then take the front off your telephone master socket, you may need to remove two screws. In behind you will find the test socket. Plug a filter in here and connect that to your hub. If it’s still dropping out then report a fault at https://faults.plus.net.

Yes. Done all the tests. Engineer came out and said the home set up was fine and that it was probably a line in/on the road and he would inform open reach.
This was after Plusnet email said they had run tests that showed no external problems.
Now have received an email from Plusnet telling me that the fault has been resolved

"This was after Plusnet email said they had run tests that showed no external problems."

Exactly the same from my experience and 4 x OR visits. PN just seemed to wash their hands of any problems and/or obligations. Computer says no.

Left PN and the fault followed my service. New provider had it sorted within a week! Yes, there was an external line fault.

Re: Calculate Early Termination Fee

Hello @Aa65, thanks a lot for keeping us in the loop on here and I'm really sorry to see that your line continued to look quite intermittent, even after the latest Qube engineer visit. 

I'd like to raise this with Openreach, so I've re-opened the ticket / complaint on your account with the problem ongoing. 

If you could pop a quick response on there as to when you'd be free for an engineer visit, we'll get that arranged for you. Smiley 

Saying that, I also wonder whether the router you have is the source of the issues at the moment, I think it'd definitely be worth arranging a replacement to be sent out first, would you be happy with that?
