Telephone working, no broadband since ordering.

[ZomBieZA]

Hi all, Looking for any help with this.

I ordered BT Infinity package on the 31st of January (Moved to Scotland recently so first time ordering)

Said activation day was on the 7th of Febuary, that day past and my BT Smart Hub is still flashing Purple ever since. 

My telephone works perfectly, can recieve and call no problem. 

I have had 2 engineers here already, and BT Said they will be sending another one tomorrow.

I have also had another BT smart Hub sent to me and that still flashes purple.

As you can see, I have 2x NTE5 sockets, I have tried possibly every scenario with these 2 sockets, (The one on the left, engineer said I must use, my telephone only works on the one on the left) - The one on the right I have tried also, with test sockets also.

Thank you for getting back to me. 

Here are the resualts =

Engineers did not give any reason for 2 master sockets, they just told me to use the one on the left.

Apart from a possible provisioning issue or faulty port at the cabinet, I cannot see anything wrong. It would have failed the commissioning test, which is why you are getting another visit.

Is there any other equipment between the incoming line, and that working master socket?

Is this a new property?

[ZomBieZA]

I moved here on the 30th of Jan, Signed up on the 31st of Jan, So yeah I moved here recently.

No other equipment, microfilter is connected to the Master Socket, Telephone is connected to Phone slot on filter (Phone works) and Modem is connected to ADSL slot on Filter.

So is it a new build?

Have you tried a different microfilter, as two are normally provided with each home hub?

[ZomBieZA]

The building isnt new, Very old if thats what your asking. I haven't tried another microfilter as I only relieved one, though phone works fine in filter.

[Keith_Beddoe]

Thre should have been more than one supplied with the BT home hub. The microfilter passed the broadband straight through, it only filters the phone side.

If its an old building, there may have been a old DACS unit installed somewhere, to give an extra line. If that has not been removed, then broadband will not work.

Does your phone line come from a pole, or underground?
