No broadband after storm

We had a big storm last night in Tavistock, Devon and since then our broadband has stopped working. The phone line works for phone calls but the router is stuck showing orange flashing BB light. Tried restarting the router a number of times but no joy. How do I find out if there is a known fault in my area or if the router has been damaged by the storm due to possible power surges?

Thanks for getting in touch @stevemccormick

I'm sorry to hear that your connection isn't working. We've tested your line and we can see that the router is out of sync and we can't see any cause for this.

Is it possible for you to try another router?

Thanks for confirming.

Based on the evidence I've ordered you a replacement router as it's likely to be a router issue due to the lightning strike.

We'll get that to you as soon as possible
