Re: No internet again

@John40 No internet? What lights are (or are not) on the Hub? Is your phone line working?

Re: No internet again

Hiya @John40, I am really sorry for the problems caused since Openreach have been out working.

 

I have ran a test and it is detecting a phone line fault, so I have raised this for further investigation for you and created a fault ticket where you can monitor this here: https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=220774315.

 

I'm truly sorry for the disruption caused in the meantime.

Re: No internet again

Internet gone down again at 1am still can't get it to work again. Trying to restart it all this morning but no response.

Re: No internet again

@John40 @LaurenB only raised the problem to BT/OR yesterday. They do not work weekends/bank holidays ( except for emergency cases), so the earliest this will be looked at properly will be Tuesday. Intermittent connection/disconnection is to be expected until the issue is resolved.

Re: No internet again

If the problem is intermittent, than this has all the hallmarks of a bad / wet joint on the copper leg between the cabinet and the house.  Ringing the phone line from a mobile or making an out going call can bring about a temporary fix.

Broadband is not going to work well if the "phone" line is not working properly.

Please perform a quiet line test - dial 17070 select option 2 using a corded phone plugged into the test socket behind the face plate of the master socket. It should be silent. A noisy phone line (or no dial tone) will have a marked adverse impact on the performance of broadband.

If the line is noisy or there is no dial tone, then a PHONE LINE fault needs to be raised with your phone provider. If this is PlusNet, you can report a fault on line using the button below.  From the Q&A list, choose the one which matches the problem, 'open' the 'section' and click the trouble-shooter link.  NB: If you receive a failure message (rather than a log-in prompt) then log-in to the user portal in a different browser tab and attempt to use the trouble-shooter again.

Re: No internet again

Please accept our apologies for the frustration caused here @John40

I've just reviewed the fault and can see that Openreach are scheduled to go out on 05/01/2022 to try and resolve it. The exte nded lead times are indeed due to working hours over the new year holiday.

Re: No internet again

Hi @John40,

Openreach wouldn't compensate you for any downtime associated with this fault - that would be up to us Smiley Once things are back up and running, we'll be happy to review the case and see what compensation is needed.
