No internet in hot weather

Hi 

Hope I can get some advice . During every spell of hot weather our internet goes off for the majority of the day 12pm -7pm . This has been happening for 2 years now ! 

we have had several engineers out , replaced router , checked connections- all fine . I’ve checked family safe locks (all off)!

 

i’m wondering if the box holding the cables into the house is getting the direct sun and heating ? Please can anyone offer any advice ? 

thank you

Thanks for the update. Did the engineer have any explanation for what could be causing the problem?

Just to update - the engineer came and as predicted as not hot weather internet was fine ! 
however the engineer said that another household in the area had also reported the same fault, so was going to be investigated further . Pls can you look into this . Many thanks

Thanks. I'll book the engineer now and get back to you with the details (yes the engineer should be able to see the previous engineer's report)

Any morning except for Friday . However , if the weather isn’t warm /hot then the internet is likely to be on ! It’s so frustrating ! 
just so the engineer knows

Hi Rose66#

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

If the same fault is still occurring with the new router then we will need to pass this back to Openreach.
