No landline but broadband ok

[#1]

Hi
My landline stopped working a few weeks ago, I noticed on the 1st feb when relatives txted me. Plusnet said the fault was identified on Openreaches bit of the exchange and would be solved by 6th Feb. It wasnt and the ticket is still open. i notice there are LOADS of people on forums with this problem, has anyone ever had it solved?

Unfortunately the PN staff don't usual patrol the forum over the weekend and will probably pick this up on monday for you, probably the best solution is to give them a call.

We had a similar problem with BT phone and broadband about 5 months ago. We reported the line to BT as an engineering fault via their web site. When the BT Open Reach engineer visited he tracked the cause of the problem down to a broken connection on one of the copper conductor pair in the wire feeding our house, The problem was in the street some distance from the house. Apparently DSL broadband can work on a single connector, but the modern voice phone system needs a pair of conductors.

:)Ah, thanks for the replies folks! I hope its something like that. Will ring if no joy by Monday evening, lucky I have my mobile but much more expensive!

  Aha, Plusnet  replied to say that an engineer did try to fix the fault on the 7th but couldnt because it was too much for him. They will be sending another (better?) engineer in a few days.
Hmm...

And hmm... it is!  End of day when second engineer was supposed to have a go but still no phone.  Broadband working extremely well - to compensate perhaps?
