Hi @pauldobson6

I'm firstly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences during what I know to be a very difficult time which is likely going to be harder because you haven't got a phone or broadband service to sort things out from. 

I can see this morning we've booked an engineer visit however upon checking to make sure the engineer's confirmed with Openreach, I can see our suppliers have cancelled the appointment because they're already aware of a problem in your area they're working to get to the bottom of as soon as they can.

I've however though re-raised a fault with Openreach just to be certain and we've received the following message "Line impacted with Major Service Outage". We'll continue to monitor via the support ticket on your account Here and we'll provide an update as soon as we know more.

Feel free to post back though if you do need further help.

Hi @pauldobson6

I'm sorry to see your service doesn't work still.

I've chased this up with our suppliers helpdesk and I've been advised that the major service outage is still ongoing which is affecting around 347 other people.

Engineers are working around the clock to restore the service as soon as they possibly can and we've been advised we should know more by Monday next week.

Really sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Gandalf, well its now day 13 without any phone or Internet, is there some news about what is happening.

[#6]

Hiya @pauldobson6, I'm really sorry for the length of time this has been ongoing.

I have contacted our suppliers and have been advised the outage is now resolved but further work needed on your line externally.

We have been advised that we can expect an update on this tomorrow. I'm really sorry that you are still without service in the meantime and for the continued inconvenience caused by this.

Just to let you know I am still without internet and land line, is there any update please?
My neighbour had their land line restored over a week ago.
Thanks

Hey @pauldobson6

Thanks a lot for reaching out and I'm really sorry for the inconvenience that this fault is causing. It's gone on for quite a while now. Our suppliers sent through what we call a Clear Notification on 08/11/2021, advising that the fault was now resolved. We had three days to confirm this on our end before the fault was then closed. As we didn't respond, due to our Tech Support Team not chasing this up with you, the fault then closed.

Tests on the line this afternoon have shown that the broadband circuit is still out of sync, and my phone line test could not complete either, so I've raised a new fault with our suppliers, and have update the open support ticket on your account.

All being well, our Tech Support team should pick up this ticket this coming week, and will advise you on what's being done to rectify the ongoing issue.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Thanks for update, I know most of this outage is beyond your control, but will there be any recompense, refund or goodwill gesture for the issues caused and total loss of service?
Thanks
Paul

Thanks a lot for getting back to us.

I've just reviewed the fault that I re-raised yesterday and can confirm that your service is being affected by a Major Service Outage. We don't have a timescale for a resolution just yet, but Openreach are aware of the issue and will be working to resolve it as soon as possible.

In regards to a gesture of goodwill, there's an open complaint on the account, so once we can see that you're back up and running, our Technical Support Team will asses how long the fault has taken to resolve, and will be in touch to discuss a resolution to the complaint.

It's now 25 days and still no Internet or land line, is there any more update on this please

[#12]

Thanks for getting back to us @pauldobson6, I'm truly sorry for the length of time you have now been without service and for the lack of updates received.

I have contacted our suppliers today for you and have updated the ticket with the latest information we have.

I am really sorry for the continued inconvenience caused.

[#13]

So far still no phone line or Internet, any more update please?

[#14]

Hi @pauldobson6,

I'm really sorry to hear that you're still experiencing issues with the service. I've had a look for an update this afternoon and whilst one isn't available just yet, reports indicate that work is being carried out on the case at some point today. Once the update becomes available our faults team will be in touch as soon as possible to discuss this case further. Please accept my deepest apologies for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.
