Thank you

Would you please arrange for an engineer.

Thursdays or Fridays either morning or afternoon are best.

Do you wish me to return the original modem etc?

Thanks for your reply.

 

I've completed another line test now and the same fault towards the property has been detected.

 

The next step will be an Openreach engineer visit to the property, would you like me to arrange this visit?

 

Please can you provide your availability AM and PM?

 

Can you also confirm potential engineer charges Engineer charges

It went down at about 10 pm last evening

It was not working first thing this morning 

I disconnected everything and reconnected. It has been working since then.

It is connected to the test socket

I am now out of the house for about two hours 

Thanks

Hi CAPTAIN1

 

I'm really sorry about this. Can I just check, is the new router at the test socket?

Thanks.

The new equipment arrived today.

I installed it about 7pm.  It worked for about one hour then was down until 9.05pm

It is currently working following a period when settings was saying connected but no internet.

It appears to be the same as before

This is obviously frustrating.  Thankfully,  this evening I had no zoom meetings

Hi CAPTAIN1

 

Did you try connecting your current router at the test socket?

Please let us know once you have received and tested with the new router.

Many thanks.

I will try the test this evening. I will report back after testing

I would welcome a replacement router for testing

Hi CAPTAIN1

 

This page has more information on test socket testing.

 

Your guide to main phone sockets

 

Would you like me to send a replacement router first so we can rule this out?

Thanks.

I am currently at work.

The router is, however, wired as normal.

I am not sure what you mean by 'at the test socket'

I have not been sent a replacement router for testing

Hi CAPTAIN1

 

Thanks for updating your Community Profile.

 

I've completed a line test which has detected a potential fault towards the property.

 

Is the router at the test socket at the moment? Have we sent you a replacement router for testing?

Hi @CAPTAIN1 is that wired or WiFi, all or just some devices? What are the lights on the router showing? 

I don't work here and all my opinions are my own.
