Lost broadband connection 9.30am Sunday, we waited for it to come back on and then we did the Broadband Troubleshooter thing and ticket raised 28 hour's ago.
So no response whatsoever.
Why can't the fault be seen from their end and what are you doing today if anything?
A response from a human being would be appreciated.

Well, <i>most</i> don't. There is one ISP which does and that's AAISP. Unfortunately that level of service is reflected in the price. You might also get that from an ISP if you pay for a business package but even then I'd only expect it on a leased line covered by an SLA.
Quote from: Terranova667 Hi, ISPs don't monitor individual lines.
It's interesting and not entirely surprising that we're seeing an increase in people expecting business type service levels from consumer ISPs. I suppose it's the result of the internet being such a central part of everyone's lives these days. I wonder if ISPs will eventually have to accommodate this by improving their service levels at some point. That's going to put serious pressure on their margins. Current consumer prices simply aren't high enough for most ISPs to run that kind of operation.
Unfortunately I think the opposite problem is more likely. This article shows that some in the business community think they are paying too much:

Seems like everyone wants the world for the price of a pebble

Quote from: nothappy Well they do monitor something as you can always access your account and get a detailed breakdown of the broadband usage.
So when I totally power down my router and modem for a fortnight while I'm away on holiday they should treat that as a fault and send an engineer?

Don't be so stupid, how can a 'bright spark' get it all so wrong?

Your connection log doesn't look good:
Testing the broadband comes back with: Voice fault suspected - contact Voice CP to progress copper issue
Testing the phone line shows: Test Result: Fail - Fault located at customer apparatus
Is there any noise on your phone line? Are you plugged in to the master socket (test socket is preferable) with no extension leads?
As it's showing that the phone line is the fault here it's likely to need an engineer visit to resolve, so we need to make sure that everything is set up correctly internally.

Tried plugging telephone into test socket, no interference.
Checked all cable's on everything, nothing has been disturbed at all for month's and I cannot find any faults.
There's a long cable that runs from the modem to router, so to eliminate that we place them side by side with a short cable and the broadband is back on.
So it must be the long cable at fault, but we put the router back to where it's normally connected to the modem with the long cable and the broadband is still working.
It turns out to be a faulty switch that's plugged into one of the Lan ports on the router, as soon as it's plugged back in the broadband goes off again.

Hah. There must be something going around. I had one of my gigabit switches fail on Monday. I suspect it might have been failing for quite some time as the A/V equipment that connects through it has been slightly 'glitchy' for a couple of months now. Anyway it's good to hear that you're back up and running.

How that turned into him/her having to eat humble pie or him/her saying that PN should treat it as a fault when someone is away on holiday I have no idea.
