Activation of upgrade to fibre

My ADSL has been deactivated and my phone line has been disrupted through the day.
However my new router won’t connect and I just get a flashing red light.
Will anything really change between 22:30 and midnight or is there likely to be a problem with my upgrade?
Cheers,
Conor

Welcome to the community forums @conormegaw
Sorry to hear you're experiencing connection problems following the completion of your Fibre order.
Testing the connection is flagging up that the router is either not connected or not powered up and is pointing towards potential problems within the premises.
Please could you have a run through our troubleshooting guides Here and if you continue to experience problems after this, please report a fault over at https://faults.plus.net and let us know once you've done this.
We'll then be able to get the ticket booked up and progress with an engineer appointment.
Thanks.

Thanks for taking a look.
My old Zyxel router was giving me a steady 17MB before the upgrade to fibre, so I’m not sure it’s an internal set up issue.
I’m home this afternoon and will run some diagnostics. I will check the phone line as it kept tripping the monitored alarm yesterday.

Thanks for your message.
Of course I will. When I checked the master socket, there was no dial tone so I guess that was the problem.
As to why there is no dial tone, let’s hope the engineer can sort it on Thursday 😀
Cheers, Conor

Thanks Anoush.
So it turns out the BTOR had connected us in the cabinet to the wrong port. 92 instead of 82.
Engineer that visited yesterday was brilliant and resolved it pretty quickly and then did a full set of tests to make sure everything was working.
I am a bit surprised I am only getting 37Mb given I am 70m from the cab, but it is more than enough for our needs.
Cheers,
Conor

What fibre product have you ordered? That speed suggests you are on the 40/10 Unlimited fibre service. Can you check the connection stats in the router to confirm your sync speeds.

You are right, I am on 40/10.
I am not at home to check the sync speeds, but I thought I might see faster than 37 as I regularly saw 17-20 on ADSL.

37Mbps is the best you will get on the 40/10 service. The IP profile and protocol overheads reduce the throughput speed by a few Mbps and what you got on ADSL has nothing to do with it. If you want more speed you have to pay more for Fibre Extra.

Hi Conor.
So it turns out the BTOR had connected us in the cabinet to the wrong port. 92 instead of 82.
That's a bit of a facepalm moment.
Engineer that visited yesterday was brilliant and resolved it pretty quickly and then did a full set of tests to make sure everything was working.
Glad to hear this. If you would like to pass your thanks onto the engineer I'd recommend filling out this form to let Openreach know: https://www.formwize.com/run/survey3.cfm?idx=505d040e0a0e0c
I am a bit surprised I am only getting 37Mb given I am 70m from the cab, but it is more than enough for our needs.
Unfortunately due to the reasons @RealAleMadrid has advised it's unlikely you'll see the full sync rate of 40mbps on a speed test, but if you would like faster speeds in the future you could upgrade to Unlimited Fibre Extra (80/20).
