Dead internet connection

[#1]

Fiber internet connection is down. Suddenly disconnected.

[#2]

Full Fibre (FTTP), or Part Fibre (FTTC)?

What is the state of the Hub Light?

Use https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/ to report the issue.

I did but the bot told me is all fine when I don't have internet. To get in touch with a plusnet technician is hardest thing I ever seen.

[#4]

Part fibre I think

[#5]

OK. I thought you might have been, but we need to check these days. What colour is your Hub light, and which one have you got - Hub1 or Hub2?

Sadly, the bot doesn't spot some faults, but there are some on here who can possibly help. Sorry for all the questions, but we need to need to know what we are dealing with.

[#6]

It is hub 2 and got a red colour got master socket 5c. Just disconnect while it was connected. I was trying a different cable but didn't work.

@saidalinneagoe Thanks for that information. It appears, to me, that you have had a bit of a nightmare there.

I'm not going to say this will do anything useful, as you have a red light, but I note your username is showing as 'setup'. Try changing that to your real username <[email protected]>, and input your account password in the password field.

Let us know the result.

For reference here are the Hub light meanings and suggested next steps

Red - means there is a problem somewhere, power cycle the Hub to see if that resolves the issue. If this doesn't work, use a paper clip to press your hub's factory reset button.

Flashing orange light - Your hub is working but the broadband signal can’t be detected
Check if the broadband cable (grey ends) is plugged in. If you're using a filter, check that's plugged in correctly too.

Orange light - Your hub is receiving a broadband signal but isn't connected to the Internet
Connect your computer or device to your hub. Open a new web browser window and follow the on-screen steps to get connected. 
If this doesn't work, use a paper clip to press your hub's factory reset button.

For the reset you press the button in until the Hubs light truns green.
