Hi - I have an ECI Telecom ONT model B-FOCuS O-4G2PW which was supplied when I had FTTP installed by Plusnet back in 2014. At the time of installation the BT engineer made a bit of a mess of the back of it when trying to fit it to the wall (see attached photo, all of that was done at the time of installation) but as I was so thrilled to have FTTP at last I didn't make anything of it! It's been held to the wall with sticky fixers 😬 it works OK but it really is in a state and I would like to get a new one, perhaps also a newer model too. How can I go about this please? Many thanks!
Debbie.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Unless you can find one for sale somewhere, you will be unlucky. BT have not supplied these for a number of years - you will need a combined modem/router.

@jab1 I think you are thinking about the old VDSL modems, this is an ONT for FTTP.
@diatomdeb you could make it go faulty, report a fault, look innocent and ply the Openreach chap with tea and chock biscuits! You may be without internet for a day or two though!!

Nice bit of kit there Debbie - 'twould be such a shame if it happened fall off the wall on to a hard surface and ceased to function.

I'm sensing a common theme in the replies here 😂 think a screwdriver may have to accidentally violently fall into the workings!

Hi Debbie, I’m sorry to see your ONT box has been bodged to the wall since you’ve had it. I can arrange an engineer to fix this, likely to just replace the box.
Can you raise a fault ticket at faults.plus.net leaving notes in the box at the end with dates you’d be available for an engineer visit? The availability would be weekdays 8am while 1pm, or 1pm while 6pm
If you can let me know once you have raised the fault, I’ll make sure it’s picked up as soon as we can.

That's fantastic Gandalf, thanks very much for your help with this! I have just raised the fault. I'm not sure it flagged it up as fibre broadband as it asked questions about my phone line but hopefully it's enough to raise the issue.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your help!
Best wishes
Debbie.

Hi, that's fantastic, thank you! I honestly didn't expect an appointment so fast and in fact I won't be here for all of tomorrow afternoon... is it at all possible to reschedule it for any afternoon next week, please? Sorry about that!

@diatomdeb the new ONT is much smaller than the old one , its only about 90mm x 80mm, so you might need to do a spot of repainting the area 😁
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
