Internet has just stopped

Hi, just wondering wether I could get any help on here. My Wi-Fi connection and internet has been great alday until around 6pm when the internet has just stopped I've tried everything it's told me too on here but I've had no success. I'm just wondering wether anyone else's is down or if I have a problem somewhere. The lights on my router are lit except internet and Wi-Fi also the broadband light just keeps flashing. Does that mean the router is broke or fine. Thank you

Re: Internet has just stopped

It means you that you have no internet signal to your router.
First step is to see if you have dial tone on your landline. Can you plug in a phone handset, dial 17070 select quiet line test and have a listen.
If there is no dial tone or noise you on the line you need to log a voice fault with Plusnet.
Otherwise, can you follow the instructions in the broadband trouble shooter website.

I appreciate this may be difficult without a working connection, but if you have a mobile phone with 4G or 3G you should be able to access it that way.

Re: Internet has just stopped

Thank you so much for your reply. I'll try pick up a phone today to test the line. The internet has come back on this morning around 8:30 but it keeps going on and off so not sure what that means or why it's doing that. Thank you

Hi Lorna, 

 

Having looked at the logs for your connection it looks like it's settled down again and has been stable for the past 48+ hours. 

 

let us know if this does become a problem again though.

Re: Internet has just stopped

Can you plug your router into the test socket as explained below?

Re: Internet has just stopped

It looks like you service was on for a short period time but it's recently dropped.

 

Is your router still plugged into the test socket?
