Router/Line problem

[ELBOW1969]

For the last couple of days my broadband connection has been connecting for about minute then dropping out for a few minutes then connecting again for a minute before dropping out again as if it's stuck in a loop. I've turned it off and on again, unplugged everything and plugged it back in again and pressed the reset button left it turned on again after waiting for half an hour ( as suggested by the online chat ) nothing has worked, has anybody got any suggestions?

Hi ELBOW1969

Sorry for the delay.

I've arranged the Openreach engineer visit for 30/01 PM (1pm - 6pm)

Will this date and time be ok?

Hi Debbie, any luck with Openreach booking an engineer?

I've spoken with my wife, she said she can work from home most days if you let us know when the engineer is coming.

Hi ELBOW1969

I can try and book a Saturday appointment but these are not always available.

Are there any other days in the week when someone could be at home between 8am - 1pm or 1pm - 6pm?

I have also sent you a Private Message.

[ELBOW1969]

Hi Debbie, somebody will be in at the following times:

Monday-Thursday 5.00pm onwards

Friday - 3.00pm onwards

Saturday & Sunday all day

Hope this helps.

Hi ELBOW1969

I've checked and Openreach are asking us to arrange an engineer visit to the property.

We can arrange this visit for you. Please can you provide your availability AM and PM?

Please can you also confirm potential engineer charges Engineer charges

I was involved in another online chat on Saturday which resulted in the online expert said she detected a fault on the line and said it would be reported to Openreach do that an engineer could be sent out to investigate. 

Openreach sent me a text message on Saturday saying an engineer had been allocated to investigate but since then I've heard nothing and the fault persists making it impossible for my wife to work from home and an increasingly grumpy teenager who can't do his online gaming.
