Broadband fibre fault needs to be reported to Openreach

There is a fault affecting my FTTP connection. The Openreach engineer working in the area asked me to report it so that I would be added the list of people sharing the problem. (He thinks it's likely a network fault.) Given that the Plusnet customer service line is currently out of action, can you suggest how I can do this, please?

Are you sure it is an FTTP and not FTTC problem @Hiems89 ?

Anyway, the quickest way is via: https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/broadband/

Re: Broadband fibre fault needs to be reported to Openreach

Hi John,
It is definitely FTTP - the old FTTP trial. Unfortunately, when I try to report it via report-a-problem, I just get a message saying that there was a problem with reporting. I have tried twice already ...
The Openreach engineers are still working in the street. I guess I just have to hope that they manage to fix my problem along with the other six in the street who also have no service (though not necessarily via Plusnet, of course Wink ).
Thank you for your suggestion.

OK, @Hiems89 - I didn't realise you were a trialist, my apologies. That will probably explain why the report won't go through as that system is for ADSL/FTTC connections.

Thank you for your help with this, @SammyM. I was also able to get in touch with the technical team again once the customer service line fault was resolved.
