Your BT Broadband is suspended

[DavidM]

Hi @milouvision and thanks for posting.

Sorry you're still having problems with your line and broadband. I'd like to take a closer look at this for you if that's ok. I'll need a few details so I'll drop you a private message now so you can get in touch.

Cheers

David

Thanks. Message received and reply sent.

Another 24 hours without resolution. Time to escalate to a wider audience.

BT and/or Openreach made changes to my account and/or BB in the early hours of Tuesday morning. They haven't a clue what they did, why they did it or able to offer any solution.  The EE mini hub is next to useless as there is virtually no EE signal. Sounds par for the course.

DavidM - thanks for arranging the new hub which arrived yesterday but as suspected it hasn't helped. It's not a hardware issue - yesterday was the third hub - and the hub manager can see a connection in and out as could the engineer last Weds.

I know it's grasping at straws but would a change in phone number help? I'll call 150 again...

Reset the Smart Hub and now get this:

Access Blocked

Sorry, but you're not allowed to access the Internet at the moment.

The BT access control in your Smart Hub has been set to prevent this computer or device from accessing the internet at this time.
The access control period will need to be updated if you need to connect to the Internet immediately.

BT access control settings can be changed using the Smart Hub Manager, which is password protected.

But BT access control is switched off at the hub and parental controls haven't been activated via BT/Security.

Hi @milouvision,

Thanks for getting back to us.

@DavidM is out of the office at present but he will be here tomorrow afternoon. I'll speak with him about this and discuss what needs to happen next. Just to confirm, there are no restrictions on your account for any billing issues and it doesn't appear to be a crossed line.

Thanks
DanielS

Let the mods help you, ringing 150 could see people double dealing and causing further delays, the mod team here are brilliant and have offered help, give them time to resolve it 🙂

Thanks DanielS. And thanks -Richie-, makes sense as  BT keep telling me there's no flags against my account but here we are. Fortunately I have a 4G connection via my phone although I've had to increase the data allowance. I'll wait for what transpires tomorrow. I guess one option is to cancel 40 years of being a customer and getting my partner to sign up as a new account.

That wouldn't be needed, sometimes what's known as a cease and reprovide are done but it's done via the supplier systems and then your BT account is manually updated, your actual BT account remains open and active.
