No dial tone since change over

I have just recently changed from sky to plusnet and the phone and fibre is supposed to be active. However I have no Internet access and no dial tone. However as soon as the router is unplugged from the filter I get my phone back. I have tried 4 different filters and when my old sky router is plugged in everything is fine expect for Internet obviously as I am not with them anymore. Can anybody tell me what is happening. Is it a case I haven't been switched over correctly. I have changed provider 3 times without problems until now. Any advise would be helpful

Hello @timey1974

 

Sorry to hear you're having issues with your phone service.

 

I've tested your line and I've not been able to detect a fault. I've raised a ticket on your account with a few checks you can try before we arrange an engineer.

Sounds like you have a faulty router, or have plugged the line into the wrong socket on the router.

Fix

That's a good point.

 

@timey1974 Is the DSL cable plugged into the WAN port or the DSL port of the router?
