This is what it said under broadband open fault:

“Problem fixed

We've fixed the recent problem in your area. To get your broadband running smoothly again, restart your BT Home Hub. Just turn it off at the mains, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on again. Give it a couple of minutes to finish starting up.“

I’ve had turned it off and on several times and still not working.

Did you also turn the power off on the modem, waited about 20 seconds, and then turned it on again?

Yes I did. Waited 30 seconds… turned off for 1 minute and then on… LOS light is still on red…

It might be best to call the FTTP helpdesk on 0800 587 4787.

Its possible that there is a disconnection in the optical network. Its odd that it started at the time when service was supposed to be restored. Perhaps a fibre was taken in error, to fix a fault?
