Often you can get a break in the wire to your house and still have broadband albeit with a reduced speed.
Last time I had a line issue (the only time !) I called PN on the support line on a saturday morning and got through within a few minutes. I suspect they are rather overrun at the moment with all the storms and people reporting faults though
All you can really do to speed things up is to try a wired phone in the test socket behind the master socket faceplate - if this doesn't work then you've certainly got either a knackered line or dead card at the exchange.

Yes, I've seen that, it's surprising but true.
When it happened to me I investigated (in places I shouldn't  ) and found a poor connection between the drop wire and the master socket. Fixed it myself.

Thinking about it, an open line would normally result in a ringtone from the originating caller but nothing coming in at the customers end. A shorted or <600 ohm load on the line would show an engaged tone when called so may be the issue here.
