6 days without internet and counting

[grantgardiner]

We signed up with BT when we moved to Aldershot last year, and the internet has been fine (31mb down etc using Smart hub 5). We lost Internet last Friday 25th November and reported it. Booked engineer. BT called on Saturday to report there were more reports so it was a fault with their retail systems and cancelled engineer. Every day without fail the BT status page says it will be fixed tomorrow evening. I am paying for a service that we are are not getting at all. They can find a fault but don't seem to be able to fix it. If only Virgin Media serviced this property, never had a problem with them. I sent them an email complaint but the call I received was a typical "we are committed to fixing.." fob off. It was supposed to be fixed Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday etc etc. Come on BT, get your act together!

Welcome to this forum.

Is there any noise on your phone calls? Dial 17070 and select option 2, there should be no noise between the announcements.

Have you checked the BT Service Status?

See if your exchange code shows up on this page https://status.zen.co.uk/broadband/

This tends to give more info that the BT one, and may indicate what the problem is.

Ho Keith,

"Ongoing problem

Reported Sat 26/11/2016 at 04:03 PM
Expected completion Thu 01/12/2016 at 06:00 PM
We're still working on the problem with the broadband service in your area. Check back later to see if it's been fixed."

This expected date started as Monday and changes daily to be the next day. My fault tracking shows the fault being with BT retail systems, rather than the exchange.

There is a little noise on the line but it isn't too bad.

Cheers

Grant

Then its affecting more than one customer, and possibly other ISPs. There is not much you can do until the problem is resolved.

You can claim compensation once the fault is fixed.

Well today they have closed my fault without it being fixed. Yes I have rebooted the modem, same problem. General faults still show there is a fault in our area. How can they close a fault without it actually being fixed?

You wouldn't be in the GU11 1NJ area would you?

If so the cabinet was damaged and required a re shell (I presume vehicle impact),  fibre and copper to be reconnected (ongoing).

Re shell done & temp service is being restored awaiting power to be reconnected. Should be completed later today.

GU12 4FF area, not sure if they are connected?

If you enter your phone number HERE it will tell you which cab you are connected to.

The cab affected is cab 13.
