Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi,
Last night the connection in our flat dropped out and we now have an orange light on the router. I have tried putting the password in through the hub manager again and still could not connect. I tried to use the reset button as well but that just returned the setup@plusdsl.net username rather than my own. This issue seems very similar to the issue I had a few weeks ago that was fixed and apart from a few dropped connections has been working fine since.
Thanks

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi,

 

I haven't had a response to the ticket for a few days now, the internet is still down. Can I get an update on this?

 

Thanks

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi @123Bananas, I am sorry that the issue is still occurring. The line is still testing OK and isn't showing any attempts to connect. If you are still unable to manually input the details to connect, can you report the fault here: https://portal.plus.net/apps/kbdfaults and let us know once you've done this so we can get it picked up for you.

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi,

It still would not connect with the correct information input so I have raised a fault there, however it asked about the phone line. We do not have a phone in the flat so we could not test this part of the troubleshooting so I mentioned this on the notes about the fault.

Thanks

Hi @123Bananas

 

By putting down that there is no dial tone, it flagged this up as a phone fault. I have now cleared this for you as I am finding no error on the phone line. Can you please run through it again, but this time when you get to the phone question, select that you can hear the dial tone fine. No dial tone means that the phone line isn't connected at all, not that you don't have a phone.

 

Let us know once again when you have done this.

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi, it is now asking about a modem but gives no option for not having a modem, our plusnet hub is connected directly to the socket

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi @123Bananas,

 

I'm sorry that the report a fault link is asking you to try connecting directly to the modem despite you having an all-in-one router that doesn't require a separate modem. I'll flag this up internally as we ought to have a "my router doesn't need a modem" option. Please can you select the option that says that you've connected directly to the modem and this hasn't resolved the issue as this will allow you to progress the fault further.

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Great thanks, I have filled in the rest of the fault report as best I can. Hopefully I've provided all the information required?

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

I really can't believe some of the PN CSC advice on here! The very first check should be to make sure that dial tone is being received and that it is quiet when dialling 17070 option 2. A cheap corded phone costs around £5 from Argos or your preferred retailer.

@123Bananas if you don't have a corded phone, could you not at least borrow one from a neighbour?

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi @123Bananas

Thank you for submitting the troubleshooter and please accept my apologies for the issue with your service.

I have updated the fault ticket on your account with regards to booking an engineers visit, you can access here. It appears the router is gaining a signal from the exchange however, the details are not reaching our authentication server.

Once you have replied to the ticket, please reply here so we can pick this up for you.

Thank you.

Re: Fibre broadband connection lost

Hi @Mustrum

I guess either of those would be an option if it is still required, thanks for the advice Smiley
