Re: slow broadband

Just checked my phone line also with PN no dial tone, how come I even get 1mb with a phone line with no dial tone?

Re: slow broadband

That sounds nasty. Guessing that you've already stuck connection direct into the test socket, connected with ethernet, not wifi, swapped filter, rebooted router?

Is there any noise on the phone line 17070 select quiet line test?

Nothing just dead, phone unusable and b/b at a snail pace.

Re: slow broadband

Sounds like a line failure somewhere.

Not sure if your connection would stand the webchat - or are you able to use mobile data - but you may need to get on to CS queue. I'd get there about 7.30 if I were you - may have a bit of a wait.

Mention dead phone line as it is relevant. Not sure if this would go in as a voice or BB failure. The fact there's no line suggests that's the cause and it has taken bb down with it.

Re: slow broadband

Extremely lucky it is still working. As you have a bit of time in hand - I'd suggest you type out an explanation of what has happened and what you have done to identify or try to fix yourself in notepad or whatever. Look through and make sure it is logical and clear. That way you can just copy and paste into chat window. When chat finishes/closes do make sure you request email copy of chat for future use/evidence.

Hope you get a quick solution.

Re: slow broadband

Remarkably, broadband works (just!) with one leg of the cable to your house disconnected.  Don't ask me how, but it does.  The first time I encountered this, I thought the customer was confused, misled, or picking up wifi from a neighbour. 

Nope!  It does work, normally at about a third of the speed.

If you connect onto the test port of the master socket and still have the same problem, I'd guess that this is an Openreach network problem, and one leg has become disconnected.  No risk of an engineering charge if this is the case, although customer service people will warn you of this.  It's Openreach's issue, providing that you've not tapped into their cable on your premises before it reaches the master socket.

HTH

Rob.

Re: slow broadband

Ah! Success! 🙂

I must say that Plusnet customer service are one of the better, if not the best ISP support departments that I deal with in my day job.  Don't even get me started on the others....

Re: slow broadband

Hi there @ibrox40 thank you for your private message

 

I have checked your fault and I can see this has been raised to Openreach this morning when you performed a line test via the Member Centre. We've been given an estimated response time of by 16/03/17 23:59:59.

This is my personal Community Forum account to help out around these parts while I'm at home. If I'm posting from the 1st March 2020, this means I'm off-duty with no access to internal systems.
