Not sure what's going on with my broadband.
Instead of a pretty blue light on the router (or is it a hub?)...I keep getting a flashing orange/red one.....and then it doesn't work. (Though, as you can tell, it IS a the mo'.)
Hopeless service, last night....and very early this morning.....Fingers crossed that it's back working properly now.
Cheers - Phil. (Trying to follow the fault reporting pages on BT's website, WHEN you're able to use the intraweb.... is worse than trying to phone them.....
So unbelievably slow.......Is it still 151 to report a fault to BT ?......I couldn't that anywhere on the site.)

Down Detector reckons there are problems in Bangor, Cardiff and Haverfordwest for BT customers. Though nothing like the number of complaints in London, Manchester and Glasgow!

Ah.....Well, we're not too distant from Haverford West.....Useful......Thanks for that, Mike. (As you can tell, it's still working properly, at the mo'.)

Orange - means it be loadin or tryin too, red it be dead, green standby, afore he load.
Hope Phil understands my attempt at archaic language.
Fault on BT, use the 150 and say broadband fault, loud and often. - Assume you is chatting at a foreigner.

150....
Thanks, Ian...I may have to BT out.....I've now noticed how awful the 'noise' on the three phones that come off the extension wire is.
This could possibly be the cause of the broadband playing silly sods...Though I
did
have dial tone when I couldn't use the 'net'.
The fault will either be in the little junction box outside (This HAS happened before)........or the plug-in socket in the 'work' room.

Phil,
It sounds like you are using DSL?
If so, I have had static noise appear on our phones (and DSL signal is down). The problem was in the telephone line junction box outside - moisture. Phone company had to repair. Of course, it doesn’t rain in Wales so that might not be the issue.
Good luck!

Hi, Bill
Yes to DSL.......And I've now 'proved' the fault, to one of the two places I mentioned before.
The smart money is definitely on the little junction box on the wall outside the kitchen.....It gets wet 'lots' as the rain comes in from that direction most of the time.
Broadband was playing very silly sods again last night....and though working, the PC is
horrendously
slow, this morning.
Engineer booked for tomorrow afternoon, so I hope he'll be able to fix it swiftly......Any piccies on the forum are taking forever to download.
Hey Ho !!
Cheers - Phil

If the signal is too bad to keep up a reasonable speed, and drops too many packets, broadband will automatically reset to a lower speed with a higher tolerance for noise. Once fixed, it'll reset to normal speed - but won't do immediately unless the engineer forces it to.

I may go off, on a complete
MEGA
rant
very
soon.
My
so called
'broadband' speed is far worse than the dial up speed when we first moved over here.

Lemmey will get that.

I forgot.
The phone line to the PC and main extension phone has been fixed*..(HUZZAH !!
)....so there's not a horrendous crackling on the line, anymore...and the hub's not throwing hissy fits most of the day....
But.... apparently there's some sort of fault between us and the little local exchange (There's an extra 30volts there for some reason...which doesn't seem to make any difference, as far as I've noticed)....So another engineer will be out to try and sort that out.
So.....He'll probably cut us off completely for a short while..sometime in the next couple of days.
Cheers - Phil.
* I was
sort
of right with my own 'fault finding'....It wasn't the outside 'box'.....or the socket in the 'work room'.....It was the 4 or 6 wire cable between the two. Fortunately there was a 'spare pair' that Matey could use.
