Broadband gone

My internet has gone down and I cannot speak to anyone at BT using any method to ask for an engineer.  My wife and I are both teachers and need the internet for work during evenings.  I got the new Hub delivered a while back but it doesn't have the correct cables to connect to the plugs/sockets I have.

 

Any suggestions on how to get an engineer in, source the right cable, cancel my BT package due to not getting the service paid for and move to Sky etc would be welcome.

Re: Broadband gone

Some more info would be good, it sounds like a fault, which would need reported to get fixed.

You also mention you got a new hub, was it a replacement or could you be getting the free upgrade from standard broadband to fibre ? if it's the upgrade then you most likely had a standard hub which isn't supported for fibre, so you will need to use the new hub.
The connections are the same, inside the hub packaging is a guide on what goes where, BT have also added a video guide on Youtube, do you have mobile data to view it ?

Re: Broadband gone

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods your post does not go to BT so threatening move to SKY makes no difference 

What colour light is the hub?

Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal


Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Re: Broadband gone

That's why I'm so frustrated as I can't report anything! It was the upgrade but the cables supplied didn't fit the plugs and sockets we have and the old hub has packed up

The video is for the wrong hub, we have the one with a big circle

Re: Broadband gone

Unless you have moved from a copper delivered service to a fibre to the premises service with an ONT fitted, the cables will be the same as previously.

Re: Broadband gone

The setup is exactly the same on all hubs.

When you say the wrong plugs.... Which plugs are you referring to.

Same connections though, the hub versions have changed but the cables and how they connect remain the same.

Re: Broadband gone

the only connection that is different with the hubs is the power supply everything else works with all hubs so don't know how cable don't fit
