Gpt summary -
EE FTTP down, CHAP authentication failure on both custom router and EE Hub
Broadband dropped this yesterday and will not reconnect.
Openreach ONT lights are normal:
Power green
PON solid green
LOS off
Using both OPNsense and the official EE Smart Hub gives the same result. Smart Hub flashes orange.
PPPoE logs show:
CHAP authentication failure
LCP authorization failed
Connecting to access concentrator acc-aln2.ra
Reconnection loop
Username in use: bthomehub@btbroadband.com
So fibre link is up and PPP session reaches EE, but authentication is being rejected.
No recent internal changes to network. Line was working fine previously.
Has anyone seen this recently with EE? Looks like a RADIUS or backend provisioning issue rather than physical line fault.

I have to say I’ve not been impressed with this! I appreciate things go wrong and we have outages but being told different reasons and different target resolution dates is quite a shambles.
What’s the true reason for this and what is the realistic resolution dates? I just want to know so I can make arrangements to get me some Internet service from a 5G modem.
I was with Virgin Media before and even though they weren’t great , I never had more than 6hrs outage from them.
will I regret this move!!

@Hongsit YES, you will.

Happy to report that for me, it’s back up.

@kjw_kjw Would be not many ISP's offering such high speed connections!
