no phoneline or broadband....what can I do

[matt82]

Hi my phoneline and bb have been down from 30th of december i have called bt about it everyday to get an openreach guy to come sooner than the 9th January 2013. I fine this time slot not good enough. Have tested both sockets coming into house both dead. Bb light on hub is out. Wireless/power still on. Is there anything i can do to try and see if i can fix it myself. I have called bt again today...they said they would speak to openreach to see if they can fit me in sooner but i dout it very much.

Many Thanks
Matt

Happy New Year All.

If you have tried the self help on this page

Fixing phone faults

and your phone is still not working, then you will just have to wait.

BT do not provide or maintain the external network. This is done by Openreach who work for all service providers. BT do not get any special treatment.

Openreach have a backlog of work, so installation and repairs are taking much longer than normal.

The holiday period would have delayed things as well.

Ouch. You say the PC also has a fault after a thunderstorm? Sounds like a lightning strike to me. If your phone is out, there could be much more damage at the exchange we dont know about. Good luck and hope the wait is not too long.
