FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

Re: FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

It would help if Plusnet worked with Vodafone and made sure their IP addresses are all white listed with the Sure Signal people.
I have no problem using IPSec from my laptop to get into my employer's network so I do not think the problem is with IPsec traffic being blocked.
My Sure Signal is a V3.  Symptom is a rapidly flashing red power light and the two right hand lights are solid orange indicating that there is a lack of connection to the Vodafone Sure Signal Infrastructure.
Here is my tracert to Vodafone:-

Re: FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

Not sure of all the technical info but I also have a red flashing light and the two oranges ones - surely PlusNet must be doing something

Re: FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

My SS v3 went offline sometime over night (was working at 2200ish yesterday; not working at 0800 this morning). Hasn't worked since. IP 80.189.
Same fault everyone else is reporting, i.e. flashing red with r/h icons solid orange.
Vodafone forum suggests many PlusNet users affected by similar problem.

Re: FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

Hi, my Suresignal has been out of action for 2 days now. Looking through this there appears to be a wider issue. Here are my tracery act to add. If you provide any info it would be appreciated. The only thing I have had recently is a new router supplied by yourselves. Thanks

Re: FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

There's a distinct lack of response across several threads on the VF forum now. I suspect there's a lot of finger pointing going on behind the scenes, which is probably not going to speed up a resolution to this problem.

Re: FTTC - Vodafone Suresignal IP Problems?

I've experienced the same problem as others have reported for 2 days now.  It's obvious that a large number of PlusNet customers are affected by this issue.  Despite this, PlusNet's website indicates that there are no priority issues as present.  Why is that? It seems inconsistent with a broadband provider that markets itself on its customer service. I've spent probably an hour and a half on calls to customer service over the past 2 days trying to find out what's being done to address the problem and when it'll be resolved.  All I get told is that it's to do with 3rd party equipment that PlusNet didn't provide and also that I own the PlusNet router (ie it's all my problem) -  but that they're looking into it although they don't know why the problem has arisen, and suggestions that I go back to Vodafone.  I'm just getting g bounced between the two companies.  Not good enough.  Re the priority issue, the last person I spoke to at PlusNet customer service said the more people who register the problem on the community forum, the more likely it is that PlusNet will treat this as a higher priority.  So I'd encourage anyone experiencing the same problem to ensure they report it both directly to PlusNet customer service and on the community forum.
