Re: Broadband router

Hi @mcvay69,


I'm sorry to hear that you're still unable to get online. I can see that our suppliers have carried out some work on the line and have stated that they believe that this issue is now resolved. However, testing your line is still picking up the fault in the exchange so it appears that the work that has been done hasn't fully resolved this. As the fault is in the exchange, a new router won't resolve the problem.

 

I've raised this back to our suppliers for further investigation and our faults team will be in touch once we receive an update.

Re: Broadband router

Hi @mcvay69, it looks like the fault was assigned out to an engineer earlier today, though we don't yet have any further updates.

 

We should get an update from our suppliers later today.

Re: Broadband router

I now have my phone line back up & running but still no broadband. The hub lights go from solid blue to flashing orange but still no WiFi. Even when I search for router it does not show in the available list. I have tried the reset button at the back but still no success.

Re: Broadband router

Hi @mcvay69,

 

I'm sorry that your broadband connection did not come back once the landline fault had been resolved and for any inconvenience that this has caused you. I've checked your connection and it looks like everything should now be working for you. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any connection problems.

Re: Broadband router

Hey @mcvay69,

 

I can appreciate why you feel this way and I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you, however, the phone fault is external on the Openreach network meaning if you did move providers you'd more than likely still have this fault present. That been said if you do wish to move providers, you'd need to sign up with them (providing they're on the Openreach network) they'll handle the take-over. Early termination & call charges would apply if you are still in contract.

 

We'll update you here once we have further info on the fault.

 

 

Thanks.

Re: Broadband router

Hi I am still getting unacceptable WiFi speeds from this router. Please advise my contract conditions as speed terms are not being met

Re: Broadband router

Hi @mcvay69

 

The minimum guaranteed speed for your account is 55mb/s and your line is currently in sync at 55.1mb/s, so very much on the cusp of that threshold.

 

Please plug your router into the test socket of your premises as shown here and then perform a speed test via a wired device. If you get a speed of less than 55mb/s I'd recommend raising a new fault here so that we can ask our suppliers to investigate this for you.

 

Best wishes

 

Dave
