BT SmartHub 2, keep cutting out regularly.

Hello BT Community,

 

I've got BT Fibre 2, I have had it for around about 2-3 month it works excellent but I've noticed in the last week and half my BT SmartHub 2 randomly cuts out flashing purple then green. All most everyday between approximately either 21:00GMT or the afternoon at 15:30GMT.

 

I have just paid the bill & it's getting to annoy me NOW 😠

Re: BT SmartHub 2, keep cutting out regularly.

As it happens at specific times is there anything in you house that switches on/off at those times? eg a water heater, central heating etc? An arcing thermostat can be a cause of the problem you describe.

Otherwise do a quiet line test 17070 option 2, best with corded phone. The line should be silent between announcements. If you use a cordless you may get a dull backgroung mains hum.

Hello @pippincp,

 

I've got a smart meter to monitor my gas and electricity and the smart meter is in the same room as where the BT SmartHub 2 is. Also I've done the line test and came back as a quiet line.

The smart meters are in the same room? Move the hub then. Smart meters send info back to your supplier at regular  intervals via a mobile wireless connection.

Hello again @pippincp,

 

But I cannot because I've only got 1 living room and the hub as to stay in the living room cause that's where the linebox is?

I'm sorry, perhaps I misunderstand. Your gas and electricity smart meters are in your living room? Or is it just the monitor?

Hello once again @pippincp,

 

No it's OK no need to apologise 😄. The smart meter looks like this:

And here is my SmartHub 2 in the dark:

The smart meter is on a different self and not & not the same self as where the SmartHub 2 is.

OK it is your smart meters monitor, not your smart meters. You had me wondering then. Have you tried the quiet line test yet?
