No broadband for 24 hours

Anyone else in manchester been offline for last 24 hours? Ive done all the tests and raised a fault report but cant even get on to check progress. Seems odd this has happened just after I agreed to another 2 year contract. I think I'm still within the cooling off period so think I'll be cancelling Angry

Re: No broadband for 24 hours

Been offline for 48hrs in Aberdeen area.  CS phoneline mentions many customers having this problem - router reports DSL unavailable.  Recent electrical storms maybe causing a problem?

@Freccle
I've just tested your line and it seems that your router is trying to connect with an incorrect username. Can you log in to your router and make sure the username and password are correct, there should be instructions in the booklet we sent you on how to do this.

Re: No broadband for 24 hours

To log in to the router the username should be admin and the password is the serial number that starts with CP
Once you've logged in to the router that's where you enter username@plusdsl.net along with your connection password.

Re: No broadband for 24 hours

OK, something odd is happening here. Can you dial 17070 and make sure that the number it reads back is yours please? When you do this, if the number is correct can you follow the instructions for the quiet line test.
The line test I did showed that the router has a SKY username in it, but that shouldn't be the case with it being our router, so I just want to check the above.

Re: No broadband for 24 hours

it isn't relevant in this case - when you dial 17070 there are various options one of which is the quiet line test which allows you to listen for pops, crackles, etc. which can indicate a line fault

Re: No broadband for 24 hours

OK, the testing is showing a fault on the phone side of the line. So I'm reporting that to get fixed, I'll update the ticket and SMS you shortly.

Re: No broadband for 24 hours

Sorry didnt stay on line long enough. Tried the quiet line test and all I got was loud buzzing and a series of clicks then it went dead. Yesterday I went all through trying a different splitter different router etc etc but we dont seem to be any closer to a solution. Could it be because ive asked to change to fibre but the engineer is not due out until 21 july. We cant manage that long with no internet. Im going to take my laptop to a nearby wifi spot, see if I can at least get my emails.
