BT Broadband down 8jan2020

Just wondering if anyone else is affected, we have lost BT Broadband connectivity since late last night. BT claim 'an issue in the area'. They expect to fix it THURSDAY by 1030.

Anyone else or is it just us?

@edward Ours returned to 'normal' Late on Wednesday (ahead of schedule) been ok since. I was communicating by text - easier to ensure the points you made are understood, text number was 61 998. Start by sending FAULT xxxxxxxxxxxx . where xxxxxxxxx = Landline number. Worked well for me.

So it looks a bit Patchy my immediate neighbour bizarrely reports no ongoing issue. Probably more an issue in the Openreach cabinet (down by the Corner shop) itself so physical doesn't = virtual neighbour. I did in fact ask for a 4g hotspot when I reported the issue thsi morning but was told it will be fixed before the hotspot arrives! Lets see! Looks like im on iphone hotspot for the foreseeable.

My provider is BT and no service at all. Have gained internet access 'toggling'/linking other devices using my cell phone as a server...seems to be working as a temporary fix. On iPhone....try 'personal Hotspot' under 'settings'. Hope BT fixes the network tomorrow latest.

I don’t seem able to log on to the website to reply to this. Our internet is down. I have been in touch with BT and they say there is a fault in the area. They are going to sort it by 13 January and are sending me a mini hub. Cheryl

Ours is out as well. We are with Talktalk and have reported it to them too.
