Got through last Thursday on the phone after a 30 minute wait. Was told the estimated time of fix (It's a BT exchange issue) would be Monday but Plusnet would keep me informed. Not heard anything today or yesterday. I don't want to add to the ticket as it's still "Awaiting support team answer". Any news (rather than no update at all / waiting) is good news in my opinion. I presume staff can find my account/ticket.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Hi @mikeyd
The Plusnet staff do not appear to have the time to respond to many forum posts in these COVID 19 times.
As you have contacted Plunset re the fault, there should be a ticket/question on your account.
There may be an update on the question.

Thanks, yes I've been checking the ticket. For the last couple of days, it's just said ".... is now off hold. Our Support Team will provide a further update soon."

Hi there @mikeyd, I can see that this fault is still ongoing due to external works and further actions required from our Suppliers. I've spoke with them this afternoon and I'll be updating your question on the account very shortly.

Hi @tinytaco ,
Thanks for restoring my faith. I'll wait it out another weekend. Just for info, if anyone else finds themselves in the same situation this is what my connection sees (and has done since I called PN last Thursday). Also, not broadband-related but my phone can call any number, but anyone dialling me gets a ringing tone but my phone doesn't ring.
And, before anyone asks, the settings in both my usual and the original plusnet supplied router that I've tried are correct.
I think 5 on the list applies and hopefully, they will figure it out and plug me back in at the exchange soon.

13 days now. @tinytaco I've just realised something significant I think, which might help your suppliers.
To recap: Fibre Broadband is unchanged. Everything redirects to the screenshot I put above.
I cannot receive calls to the landline on the same PN line (caller gets a sound like it's ringing) but the landline gets nothing.
Here is the interesting part. I can make phone calls (to anywhere) from the landline but when I call my own mobile the caller ID is wrong! last 3 digits are 958 instead of 525. The first 8 digits (STD code) are correct. I won't put them here but the landline & broadband (and my mobile) are all supplied by PN so staff should be able to figure it out.
I'm now even more convinced it's a routing issue at the exchange.
Please (pretty please) could someone pass this on to OR and I'm happy to be contacted anytime (By mobile obviously).

This Question is now on hold until Saturday 31st October at 7:00am.
Kind regards,
It's the 31st now.. 3rd week of no broadband. As far as I can tell, nothing has been done as the symptoms are exactly the same as when I reported it.

Thanks for your post @mikeyd
I'm really sorry for the problems with your line. From what I can see there seems to be cable fault which needs further investigation. I've chased this up with our suppliers and I've been advised that there's multiple faults along the line, and another engineer will be going out asap to investigate further. We should know more on 03/11/20 and we'll provide an update as soon as we can, normally within 72 hours.

@Gandalf Thanks for the update both here and the ticket. It sounds then that it isn't just me, so hopefully it will be sorted soon. Please keep updating, as I need to plan if I can work from home etc.

Update, Short version: After 19 days, fibre broadband back on and phone now back to the original number after a very nice chap from Openreach attended.
Long version: Openreach guy phoned yesterday to say he was in the area and needed to put a tone on the line from my property to get any further as he couldn't identify the wires from the cabinet end. Luckily (as I was 20 miles away at work) he said he could come back this morning, which he did, even phoning 15 minutes before he turned up, wearing a mask, insisting he took his shoes off etc. I showed him that I could call out, but with the wrong number attached to the line and that all internet access was being blocked at the exchange and web pages redirecting to the BT wholesale page I posted above.
So he did a quick test with his analyser, then left his tone generator plugged in and went off to work his magic. When he returned he said (I think..) he'd moved the fibre connection in the local (50 yards away) fibre cabinet (He said before that he knew which port it should be on), and had also been to the exchange (or possibly the copper cabinet halfway between) to sort the phone out. He then said it looked good but there was a little bit of battery fault on the line and wanted to redo the connections at the bottom of the pole outside my house. Came back again, tested everything and made sure I was back online and so all good.
Got there in the end, not sure what caused the original fault (I could guess) but these things happen.
And then this afternoon, (after 3 hours of solid connection) Plusnet updated my ticket telling my OR wanted me to book an appointment through plusnet to come round to my property, but it would be a £65 bill if I had caused the fault. I guess PN and OR had a delay in communicating.
Anyway thanks, especially to @Gandalf and @tinytaco who took the time to pick up forum posts.

Hey up @mikeyd
Glad we've been able to help and you're back online, please ignore the engineer visit request - the update changed from engineer request to resolved not long after the message was sent!
I've worked out your down time and applied it to the account, you can see more in the email I've just sent over. Have a lovely evening.
